My Lovable Fatty

I'm the translator for a manhwa called My Lovable Fatty in the three, two, person scanlation group called Sarang Syrup. You have to be Korean to understand.

The series is basically about a short, fat, and ugly girl who returns to Korea after living in America for several years and is bullied due to her looks. Now, it's not like she hated herself because she was fat and ugly, she hated herself because everyone is mean to her. Her first love calls her a fat monster, her only 'friend' tells her she can't change no matter how hard she tries, and she gets pushed into a field of manure by this group called the One Club. This all happens in one day.
So being depressed and dejeced, she goes to the mountains and decides to hang herself but she's so heavy that the rope SNAPS and she falls into the ground where she finds a box of pills... Thinking that the pills will kill her she takes one and she is knocked out for 5 days and -- WAIT. NO. I'M NOT REVIEWING THE SERIES. I'M HERE TO RANT.

So I get it if peope don't like the series, everyone is entitled to their opinions. What I don't like is when people say things like:
"This series is horrible but I can't stop reading it."
"It's so stupid but I can't stop reading it."
and etc. THE PROOF IS IN THE FORUMS.

All I can say is... WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ANNOUNCE IT TO THE WORLD? IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT SO MUCH STOP READING IT AND STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.
If people just keep saying that do they think we would WANT to keep translating it? Do they think we WANT to translate for people who HATES the series?! SO INSENSITIVE!!!


In other news. I must download Apollo Justice. His hair is weirder than Pheonix Wright. New sexy characters. Woot.


Oh and I finished The Hunger Games. :D My thoughts on it? Check my tumblr.

Writing Exercise #2: Em's World

Start: 6:03
Here is Writing Exercise #1


I made up an exercise for myself by asking myself: If I had my own world what would it be like?

This is my result.

Excuse all grammar errors.





In Em’s world the sky is blue with fluffy clouds floating about. The sun will shine with a cool breeze that rolls in and out, gently, not strong. The tree’s will stand tall and bright, and all the leaves on the ground will let out a satisfying CRUNCH when stepped upon. Flowers bloom when they want, seasons wouldn’t matter here. If Em wants snow it will snow, if Em wants it to rain it will rain, and whatever weather Em wants it will happen. The air there will be clean and fresh like the crisp mountain air, making breathing pleasant. Mother nature would be happy in Em’s world, the natural beauty of the world will stand as it is, untouched, unmarked.

There will be no flying cars and teleportation machines in Em’s world. The world outside of homes will be so glorious that people will walk or ride their bikes to places they want to reach, they will smile at the crunching of the leaves under their feet, they will inhale and exhale deeply with the clean air, and hopefully feel happy.

Em’s world is not made for world peace. There will always be people who agree and disagree, love and hate, cry and run away. But this is also part of the world’s beauty. The order of this world is to understand instead of reason. For example if someone is gay, rather than trying to reason, people will just understand and still be entitled to their opinions. There is enough space in Em’s world for different people.

In Em’s world there is no need to steal because the value of something matters only to the person who owns it, knows it, or loves it.

Em’s world allows everyone to do anything they want long as they work for it themselves. Nobody will attack your status quo. People may teach each other from their own mistakes but if you do not understand it is your own job then to find out the right in your wrong. Ignorance may be bliss but not all the time.

The jobs in Em’s world is the same as the real world. There will even be homeless people in Em’s world but they are that way because of their own choosing; possibilities are endless in Em’s world but it’s only that way if you work for it to be. Everyone in Em’s world is equal unless given a good enough reason not to be. What makes this person any less human than you? If you look back to the part with understanding you will understand why everyone would be equal.

Animals are well respected in Em’s world. They live by their instincts and never take more than they need. If humans were to only take what they need without selfishness in the real world would it be a better place to live?

In Em’s world questions always have an answer, if you search hard enough that is.

The best part of Em’s world is the silence and serenity you can find in it. Though it is not for everyone because people crave attention and feel the need for others to feel the significance of their existence.

Em’s world will be seen as not something of deep meaning but something as it is and should always be.



7:11

HAH! 7/11 AHHAHAHA. Anyways. Yes. That’s my writing exercise for the day. Now you have had a taste, a glimpse, a preview of my world.
Couple days ago I had finally finished the Pheonix Wright games. ALL OF THEM. Not including the whole Apollo Justice and Miles Edgeworth.

The last trial was so dramatic. I was at the edge of my bed (I was kind of up all night trying to finish the game) and the twist at the end. OH GOD. :o

My favorite character is totally Godot. Why? I don't know. I must like the bad boys. Bwahahahahahahaha.
My next favorite would most likely be Edgeworth... Ugh, I downloaded the Miles Edgeworth game on the R4 and it worked... till it got to the last case. THE LAST CASE. That ticked me off like hell! I'm so close to finishing but for some reason it just stops working. AHH!

Imagine it this way... Let's say you were reading a REALLLY good book then suddenly the last chapter is ripped out of it. Agonising, isn't it? I tried looking for the actual game but I couldn't find it anywhere. -.-
Does life hate me? Is this punishment for downloading the game instead of buying it in the first place? -Sigh-
Someday... someday I will get that game and I will finish it. BWAHAHAHAHA.

PHEW

So at last I have finally set up this blog. -Tears of joy-

This is where I will come to when I feel like saying something that I cannot seem to put into words
and share it with the people I know. It's strange. I will have a story to tell or have something to say but can't seem to find the right way to say it unless I'm writing.
Thank God I love writing.
