Hooked on : What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction

I'm currently addicted listening to One Direction or 1D 's songs from their album "Up All Night" especially with this song : What Makes You Beautiful

I've been playing this song over and over again (on my phone's playlist, pc at the office, pc right here at home), I can't count them on my fingers on how many times already! It's really nice and catchy and too pa-cute :p . I feel like a teenager all over again LOL. They're cute and cuddly and squishy =^____^= . Of course, I can't like or treat them like how I do to Arashi and TVXQ because they're so young and i'm almost older by a decade wtf! They're just like my baby brothers lol. But I can't help liking them and their songs because they reminded me of my childhood days which I spent fangirling over boybands such as Backstreet Boys, Hanson, Westlife, Boyzone etc. So yeah...

And so far, my favorite members are Harry Styles and Liam Payne :) why is that, you ask? Well, because Harry and Liam sings and I like guys who sings well and I love Harry's hair.

P/S I'm currently listening / watching their music video "What Makes You Beautiful" for the nth time this past 4 days.

weekend getaway with friends @Nasugbu, Batangas

For this year, it's my 3rd time to go in an out of town trip. First was in Boracay and second in Bohol.


This time, it was for the pre-celebration of two of my friends' birthdays. Red's which will fall tomorrow, June 19 and Diane's which will be on Wednesday, June 20.


the short vacay was over the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Together with five of my friends and the three boyfriends (of course, my friends' boyfriends), we went to Nasugbu, Batangas. The original plan was to stay at a resort in, Lobo, but then we changed plans so we ended up going to Nasugbu.

it was a bit raining and it's high tide.

the resort which we stayed at.

our room.  i only took a picture of the bed where red, diane and I occupied.
It was simple but really nice. It has aircon and TV. but cable channels were few and selected.

the boys were the ones preparing our dinner XD.

we did the grocery and buying the ingredients for our dinner and the boys cooked.

pork adobo, hotdogs, and barbeque for dinner.

there were a lot of pics from this trip which I posted on my Facebook :) . my weekend was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it. we headed back to Manila at lunch time and we stopped over at Tagaytay for the late lunch. I got home before 8PM yesterday.

Happy 29th Birthday Nino

Happy Birthday Nino! Looking at you, I can't believe you're already 29. You could still pass as a 20 year old. How I wish I has your secret for staying young-looking as ever :) By the way, the blond hair is really horrible. But I still love you anyway ♥.

Behind the name of this blog

If anyone's wondering where I got the name of this blog, let me tell you something about it.

Sushi = is for MatsuJun. And why is that, you ask? It's because normally, when we (not all) foreigners think about Japan and the Japanese people, one thing that reminds us of them is Sushi. 

+

Kimchi = is originally for Jaejoong. it started when a friend from twitter (who's an Arashi fan like me) was referring to Jaejoong as my "Kimchi" boy. Kimchi, simply because, Jaejoong is Korean. And it's so easy to connect him to the dish Kimchi :p

+

Gurl = GIRL. is obvious that it's ME.








=

SUSHIKIMCHIGURL. ← So that's the reason I've named this blog

Shinji...

So, I'm revising Shinji's story...

Am I back on the track? Well, hopefully. It's been 2 years since the first time I wrote his story. 

Here was the story,

Back in 2010, I submitted Shinji's story. After several months, I got a text from the editor ,she said it was approved. I waited and waited for my book to be published but it never happened. A year had passed and I didn't have any news regarding Shinji's story. Of course, I got upset and everything. I didn't get to write any new story because I was mostly busy with my fangirl life. And I wasn't sure anymore if I really want to pursue a career in writing. Or do I really want to write romance stories? Or would I just stay as a reader? Those questions kept ringing in my head. And during those times I was also BITTER. Bitter about Shinji's fate. WTF. My friend, my writer friend knew about this.

So yeah, early this year, February, I got a text and an email from my new editor. The verdict of my manuscript: REVISION.

When I got the email, I thought, it was really okay but I’m pissed off as well. Pissed off because I've waited for almost 2 years and you now tell me that Shinji's story is for REVISION????!!!! You could have notified me before so I could have revised his story a long time ago! It is 2012 already, for christ's sake!!!

I told my friend about this, and she encouraged me to give it a try. To try to re-write Shinji’s story. I did. Earlier this year, I wasn’t so eager to revise that manuscript. WTF. I’m tired of that story already. I want to move on. But my friend said I should let Shinji have his happy ending so we could all finally move on with each other. Months had passed and I only get to write a few sentences. I can’t seem to finish a chapter. I don’t know why. Maybe, I don’t have enough inspirations or the motivation or the willingness to write. And another thing, fandom eats a lot of my time.

But then something happened. I was working out one night and was listening to a Hanson song entitled, “Lost without Each Other”.  An idea popped my head. I told myself I’m going to write a story base on that song.  I got excited. I already made a name for my hero and heroine. I texted my friend about it and she said, before I write a new story, I should finish writing Shinji’s story first. I thought about it for awhile. She made sense. So from then on, I decided I will finish Shinji’s story first before jumping into writing Max’s story.

And that’s what I’m doing right now. I’m really trying hard to revise Shinji’s story. He’s probably pissed off with me right now. He’s been telling me he wanted to end up with Erika already and have his happily ever after with her. I should make his dreams come true. Naawa na ako sa kanya.

 So, since 2 weeks ago, during the weekends, I’m revising Shinji’s story. And while writing, I listen to Baroque music. ← This combination really helps! Try it. Words, ideas and scenes were like a flowing river on my brain. They keep on coming :)

I want to finish Shinji’s story before… September..? Well, hopefully.

Now, if you’re going to ask me if I still want to become a well-known Romance Writer, I would say, Yes. I still want to be a Romance Writer. And I realized, I've never given up that dream.
