Killing time in a good way

It was the holidays and I have to admit that it really had been quite a boring one indeed. I have never been bored this much during my holidays before. Before this there was work, studies, etc and when its finally here…its total BOREDOM!!!!! So, I have taken up the liberty of learning at least 2 new skills or ’stuff’ to kill time and to put my mind and time to proper and more productive usage other than just moping around aimlessly.

I’ve always wanted to try my hands on fansubbing. I was always curious on how it was actually done for a long time(actual hands on process). So recently when Silencers asked me to join and help out EMiNA Fansubs (Yea,its technically part of a University Club) I was like “….ok”.

My first task was to do the timing which is the syncing of the characters dialog wit the subtitles. It was for episode 11 of Tetsuwan Birdy Decode. Learning the program to sync it was hard. I had not used such a program before so it took me like 10 whole freaking minutes to learn the damn thing. It was hard indeed.

However, it was fun. I mean REALLY fun. It took my like 4-5 hours to complete my task in my first try but I had fun and I don’t know why. Maybe I’m a workaholic that just has to work to feel the adrenalin rush from papercuts stapling. Nah.

Well, I’m hoping to finish the few remaining episodes of Birdy (13 altogether for the first season) and maybe I could even get to do Eve no Jikan(Time of Eve) in the near future. Maybe I should do the new Ichigo Mashimaro OVA in the meantime. Meh, maybe not.

What else did I learn? I learn about friendship, life, and everything in between. Okay thats a load of bulls**t but about the second new skill?

Heh….You’ll see…
