Part Time

First of all, Salam Maulidur Rasul to every Muslim readers of my blog!

Hello, how's your day going on? Good? Fun? Or just a plain Thursday with nothing to do?

Mine is perfectly... plain. I spent hours for sleeping and resting and I began to sub for a Korean show. Yeah, I continued subbing, again, since a kind sister wanted to sub along so this actually motivated me to continue subbing. You know, translating and subbing are actually a difficult task for an average human being like me.

Guess what show I'm subbing for now? :P

As a full-time student, I have to juggle my time for study, rest, and subbing. But at certain times when the subbing process became so enjoyable and interesting, I could be subbing for the whole night. Which, well, if there's no classes on the next day, I'll be sleeping for the whole day. I know it's wrong to stay up all night and sleep during the day but that's how I like it. I mean, I love working at night.

Okay so maybe that's just a lame reason to defend myself, haha.

But seriously, after experiencing the subbing process by myself, I knew now why people couldn't bug the translators and subbers to work faster. It's a tricky work; to translate is one different thing and to set the timing for the subtitles is another different thing. We want a perfect subbed videos to be released for international audiences; we want people to fully understood the entire story of that particular video.

To achieve this, we have to spend more time just to produce a high-quality of subbed videos. It will be way easier if you have more people for subbing and timing team but imagine if you're working alone. Struggling to translate each sentence correctly and fighting with your sleepy eyes to set the correct timing for each line being spoken.

It was a tough work, but when it's done, and when people anticipate for your work, it's something. For me, I'll feel happy when people anticipate for the next episodes. Sometimes, the kind audiences will leave you some kind words and those words will actually keep you motivated for God knows how many hours. It works like a magic. Trust me, because I've been there.

Okay so, I didn't plan on typing an entry on subbing, besides, I had a completely different topic pinned in my head while waiting for blogger to load. It switched unintentionally when I started to type ;~; So pardon me if this is a really boring entry or if you think I was bragging about my part-time job (forever considered subbing as my part-time job).

I will try harder on subbing and translating; hoping it will polish my skills and talents (if I have any). Thank you for reading my blog, it's an honour to have guests visiting this blog :')
