well, atleast this is the name im planning to put in my eatery/carinderia. I am the one mostly involve in the planning, scouting for a location, sourcing out of funds, marketing and right now, the interior of the eatery. I guess this is not gonna be of much difference to other carinderias but I am gonna focus on the cleanliness and the nice "very erwin" ambience of the establishment.
"Cucina ni Kuya" will be opened on the 11th of November, 2011 to coincide with my 31st birthday. Since according to numerology, the date holds the power of 11-11-11, this will serve as a birthday gift to myself and also my first venture in the food business. According to http://globalphysics.com/; "11:11 is a pre-encoded trigger placed into our cellular memory banks prior to our descent into matter which, when activated, signifies that our time of completion is near. This refers to the completion of duality. When the 11:11 appears to you, it is your wake-up call. A direct channel opens up between you and the Invisible. When this happens, it is time to reflect on whatever you are doing for a moment and Look Larger. A transfer is in position. You can enter the Greater Reality if you wish pray or meditate and seed your future and also, you can be seeded by the Invisible. You can ask for help in some specific area of your life or simply listen quietly and receive a revelation." In other words, or as i put it much simpler, this will be a milestone. At this age of my life, I can say that i have a balance of all the aspects required (emotional, mental, attitude and spiritual) for me to be able to do well in whatever things i choose to do. I do not feel lost anymore. And i know the things that i want to do. and i am doing it one at a time.
I have already found a space in Sta Mesa, Manila, although, i know a lot of work has yet to be done in the interiors since, i want it to have a feel of an 'avant-garde' eatery, not your typical or the usual eatery. Affordable meals will be displayed in the carinderia. Affordable but delicious since i am gonna hire a cook who is currently the toast of our town in catering during weddings. Aside from that, it will be a carinderia that will also be a feast for the senses, because i will exhibit on the walls my paintings and my other artworks. Since the space is limited, i am also planning to put a big glass to give my customers an illusion of a "bigger space". I hope everything will turn out well. And for the opening, i will be inviting some fews friends who supported me all the way. Of course, there are a few special people who in a way or another helped me to be able to put up this business. I will be forever grateful because without their help, nothing will come into fruition. I may have all the opprotunity, but that opportunity was because they helped me, by showing first their trust. Trusting me first that im gonna be able to deliver.
