I'm back!! My sudden return was inspired by [1] Daisuke posting daily as a countdown to his birthday (GEEZ, as if I didn't have enough to put up with given Mao's posts, when Daisuke moved to Ameblo he ABUSED THE HECK OUT OF EMOTICONS, even worse than Mao does), and [2] Mao no longer posting daily. Haha.

This second semester of mine, which starts on Thursday, is going to have the lightest workload, and my Japanese is getting rusty, so I figured I'd work on MnE again. I might not work on Takiguchi's for a while, and I'm seriously contemplating picking up a certain Puppy-chan's blog, except he's also an abusive emoticon user. Haha.

So anyway. 改めて、どうもよろしく!! [hibimaosuki]

Now to end on a happier note, I have finished translating Nagoaoka's July 2009 entries. There are quite a few things to see here, so please take a look when you have time. At the very least, you should see the pictures he posed for the clothing website, Sputnicks. I had forgotten he had done that until I saw the link he posted.

Nagaoka, I will definitely catch up to you!

Everyone, hello. I have some good news and some bad news.

First the bad news is that this will be the last post from Hirata for... a while. You'll understand once you read it and will most likely have a lot of questions but only he will know the answers to. If you'd like, comment to him in that post to show your support. Once you post your comment, do not be alarmed if it doesn't show up right away. I believe that Hirata has to read it first before it shows up in the post.

Hirata will always hold a special place in me, so I hope he'll return soon. If anyone finds out that he has returned, let me know, and I will definitely pick up the blog he will hopefully be writing.

I knew I was forgetting something. OTL School is fully underway now, but I'm not used to my schedule yet. And Hirata only posted once this week! *sadface*

As for an update on Nagaoka's July posts, I should be able to finish and post them soon. ^_^

I'll definitely get back to my regular *not late* schedule once my spring semester begins on Monday. XD;;

As for the first entry in this batch, Hirata, you are so cute. ^____________^

YAY LATE. But. Um. Will try to keep up now. Will maybe try to post fourteen days' worth by the end of today, and eight tomorrow because it's... Well, yeah. Anyway. Mao, sweetie. Honestly. I'd rather put up with the multiple-short-posts-a-day than long entries. *sigh* But you know ILU anyway.

So everyone, this year as well, yoroshii ya! [--hibimaosuki]

Hirata's goal for this year is revealed in this one lengthy post. He is seriously so, so sweet. T-T

Truth be told, while I was translating Hirata's entries, I was listening to a song that my brother recommended to me a long while back. I had translated the lyrics for him before, and I didn't remember the translations very well off the top of my head, so I dug them out again and listened to the song. I knew the song was quite powerful to me, and while reading my translations, I... certainly... felt something that made me gasp. I think it was because of everything that Hirata had posted and that I was translating right then because whoa. XD;; Powerful stuff.

Hirata, you're definitely making your goal come true, at least to me.

Hello MnE-ers! With this batch, I'm all caught up with Nagaoka's backdated entries from his first post on April 25, 2008 until the last one I translated on July 11, 2009. From now on, I'm going to start on July 12th and trudge onwards!

LET US BE PRODUCTIVE THIS NEW YEAR! ^_^9
