Rubie Casana: random thoughts and stuff…
In: Culinary Art
17 Oct 2009Bhee falling in love again? Yeah. I’m in love with culinary arts – the art of cooking (from Wikipedia). I just got an interest to learn preparing foods and drinks like shake, salads, pasta, steak, and the like.
Everything started with a project plan that supposedly started early this year. A personal project, an investment that is to purchase kitchen utensils and cooking equipments. I thought it will just be a plan this year and probably become a reality next year. But then, because of being so exhausted and my desire to do something new and different not related with my current work, this idea pops in my mind the other night. How about trying to learn cooking and preparing special foods during weekend?
Then I remembered my plan to purchase a blender (way back December 2008). Since I got the funds now, I didn’t end the day without having the blender brought home. I bought some fruits,cookies and milk – perfect for shake. This will be my first lesson, preparing shake. So the fun starts tonight! Yey! I really feel so excited.
I’ll be posting my experience here and what I’ve learned as I start loving and learning culinary arts. If you have recipes that you want to share, I’ll be glad to know them.
Next investment, measuring spoons and cups and hopefully oven. Makes me look forward for the next months. For sure this will be super fulfilling and fun.

14 Oct 2009Whether we choose to be good or to be happy.
We can’t learn something new and understand if we have a pre-occupied mind.
We can’t move on if we keep holding with our past.
We can’t enjoy others’ company if we are still hooked with past relationships.

11 Oct 2009Disturbed, I am really disturbed and I could say, Ptr. Chinkee is very successful in his seminar because he really disturbed my mind – not only financially but my whole being (you might not believe me, but it’s true).
I just want to share some random thoughts that I learned:
“Our money mindset determines our financial life”
“Being sincere in doing things isn’t enough because sometimes what we are doing is sincerely lie”
“Good Mindset + Good Actions = Good Results”
“What you believe in life becomes truth”
…and the most important thing
“I deserve to become RICH”
…and soon in time, I’ll become rich.
And I’ll be learning and sharing more as I read on his book and know the secrets of the rich.
It was really worth it attending the seminar. I was urged to save, to change some habits, and to evaluate how I spend my money and my time. Now I got a better understanding why do I keep doing some things, why do I believe this and that and why do I react this way.
So thanks to Ptr. Jayson Lo for inviting me and for my friend who attended the seminar with me. It was indeed a wonderful time learn and start a better financial life.
So if you want to know the secrets of the rich, grab a copy of Chinkee Tans’ For Richer and For Poorer book at National Book Store.

12 Sep 2009Sometimes the more we try not to hurt other people, the more they get hurt;
Sometimes the more we try to protect relationships, the more they get broken;
Sometimes the more we try to pretend that we are strong, the more we get weak;
Sometimes the more we want to be honest with our feeling, the more painfull it will be to others;
Sometimes the longer we choose to stay, the more we get distant;
Sometimes the more we try to correct mistake, the more we commit;
Sometimes the more we try to follow our heart, the more things get complicated.

7 Sep 2009Pagod. Masakit ang katawan. Puno ang isipan. Nagugulumihanan. May pangamba sa kalooban.
Sa pagkakataong ito iyan ang aking nararamdaman. Nais ng magpahinga ngunit may mga tungkulin kailangan gampanan.
Sa bawat araw ng ating paglalakbay sa landas ng buhay, iba-ibang bagay ang ating nararanasan. May mga taong dumarating sa ating, meron naman nagpapaalam. May pangyayaring pilit nating tinatalikuran. May mga problemang nais nating solusyonan.
Minsan tayo’y lumulukso sa tuwa, minsan nama’y lumuluha ang mata sa dinaramdam. Minsan labis tayong mapang-unawa. Minsa’y naiinis na lang basta. May mga pagkakataong ni hindi natin kayang magalit. Meron din namang konting labis tayong naiinip.
Labis tayong nag-aalala sa iba. Sobra-sobra ating pag-aalaga. Kahit di natin alam kung tayo’y may mapapala basta ang nais nati’y kaligayahan ng iba. Walang pumipilit, ginagawa natin itong kusa.
Sadya nga yatang magulo ang aking isipan. Ang sulating ito, di rin alam ang patutunguhan. Di rin matanto kung ano ba talaga ang nais ipaalam.
Marahil nga lahat ng tao’y dumaraan sa ganitong kalagayan. Nawa ako’y maunwaan at sana’y may makarinig sa tahimik na sigaw ng aking kalooban.

Really random isn’t it? It only means one thing, the past week is indeed very stressful in the body, mind and heart.
And the highlight….

6 Aug 2009“Free your heart from worries and hatred
and good things will come along…”
A simple thought that I told to a good friend of mine. A thought that was given more color than its meaning. A thought that bothered one’s mind and enlightened another.
A thought that once I told myself and here goes how it works. Read the rest of this entry »
An expression... a thought... a joy... a pain... a point of view... a shout... a whisper... an experience... an adventure.. a LIFE of a high spirited girl named Bhee :)
