So, what’s been happening lately…

WARNING! This update will be extremely lengthy. Skip if not interested.

This is just an update in case any of you were interested on what I’ve been doing, and a bit of venting of some sorts. It might contain me unhappily expressing my feelings at some quite personal level. You’ve been warned.

So, it’s been 3 months since a proper update.

I always tend to forget that reality is often disappointing, and a few months back I was reminded again.

As you all may have (or not) known, I’m an aspiring university student. Back in September 2018, I started what you can say a pre-university program. Things were going smooth for the most part, I had exams and such but I do enjoy subtitling J-Drama whenever I can.

And then, early 2019 on May, bad news came.

In short, you could say I was a scholarship receiver. Meaning, I wouldn’t have to pay for my tuition fees and that it was fully sponsored. Well, the way of the adults world works might be too advanced for me as I suddenly received news that my scholarship would be ‘reworked’. In one way or another, you could say I was scammed. I lost a lot of my potential in furthering my studies as they suddenly enforced drastic changes. It was more to benefit the university rather than the students.

In the end, I persevered and decided to finish up my pre-uni, and that was only until the very end of August. I didn’t receive my allowance and as such had to live off money that was the remainder of the previous months that they gave. For around 5 months or so, the supposed monthly allowance was gone like that.

As a result, I had to quickly drop out for the time being and from early September until recently, I’ve been doing odd jobs to sustain my livelihood, hence I was unable to be more active here.

It sucks. It really does. I’m still unsure whether I’ll continue my studies after this or the whole subtitling thing, but I thought at least I’d want to finish the current projects that I do have, which is Tokyo Dokushin Danshi (TDD).

That’s the overall gist of it. I’m typing this at 1.33 a.m. in the morning, but I thought everyone that visits this site deserves to know why I was M.I.A.

Also, thank you very much for those who’ve visited this site. Although I didn’t post that often, the viewership on this site never really declined, so that was kind of a push for me to not drop subbing TDD. I’ll finish the rest of the episodes. The main reason I didn’t want to put adlinks on this blog was because I think it was unfair. You guys came here for free subtitles, so I won’t change that~ 🙂

I hope everyone can continue show me their support! Thank you very much for reading till the very end.

Wishing you a good night (day)
