@@Rubeauti I will retire later this year. Visiting many places in the Philippines in the past. But not Negros Oriental or Palawan island 🏝️. A Disney coworker built a house on the island your living now but I haven't seen it yet.
I was in the Philippines in December 2023 for 3 weeks. While there I ate like a Filipino. I was actually losing weight. When I came back to the states. I noticed the difference in the food because I started gaining again. I've basically gone back to eating like a Filipino. Chicken and fish. No processed or pre packed food. I feel great!! The food in the USA is filled with crap and fillers to make us sick. I am starting a vegetable garden as well.
The truth is contained within your comment: be responsible for what you eat. Of course there are always BAD options, but only WE can make the right choices. Blame yourself if you eat poorly. Period.
Wsa in Thailand for 16 yrs ....healthy at 78, returned to the US ....man the garbage we're feed here, isn't even good for pigs. I'm returning to Asia mainly to eat healthy ....much less stress and "NO" Karens.
Charcoal ice cream? Never heard of that. I’m big on vegetable gardening I eat fresh vegetables all summer here in the states from May- December of course I’m not as pretty of a gardener as you are but I get it done. I also have beehives to help me with the pollination of my garden. So I also get fresh honey. Have a great weekend Rubeauti 🌹🌹🌹
I'm in the USA, everything I am growing taste better than what you can purchase at the grocery store. Farmer markets are the best option for healthy foods here. Have fun with your new garden
Hey Rubeauti! I prefer those small towns and clean eating as well. They're right, our food in the US is poison. From my understanding there are many additives in our food that are illegal in Europe. The FDA knows our food has unnatural, addictive additives in them, but allows it to be in our food. The obesity there is shocking in certain regions. I like your small town though! What island is that? I'm actually visiting Manila now but will go back to Bohol in a day or two probably.
I have a "secret" for you, Rubeauti ! You don't realize (yet) how happy you really are where you live (with the simple life). Many living in our so called "civilized / progressive countries" have not idea how toxic their environment is ! You should start a bed and breakfast (network) and get some of us for a holiday to your place... some of us may not want to leave anymore !!! All the best and keep doing the good work.
I like the shorter hair look and you look great in it, and I know that it is probably a whole lot easier for you to maintain. For me, long hair makes me melt. My opinion does not matter, I like you regardless because of your amazing content.
Most American white bread is made using industrial yeast that combines the whitening process and malting process of the flour, this yeast is resistant to stomach acid, and doesnt digest completely, but instead causes yeast to grow in your stomach which causes a number of health issue mainly acid reflux and urinary track infections (much more stuff), the simplest way to fix it is to eat Sauerkraut and then follow up a few days later with Greek yogurt about twice a month, and it has allot more sugar in it too, to extend its shelf life while keeping it very soft .
..surely the simplest fix is not to eat it? I've not consumed american bread but i can tell you bread in the Philippines is incredibly sweet with lots of added sugar.
It’s good to see you smiling and enjoying your new Home Island and community. Take care of yourself I hope that God Blesses you with happiness, health and long life.
Miss Rubeauti, You are looking so much better on your little island, a real Island Girl, must be less stress for you there, your hair cut really brings out your true beauty. I`m from Seattle Washington, and am trying my best to get there for a good life, so much things I have to get done, I`m happy to see your living a good clean stress free life!
Hello girl. I love that you took a bold step out going to a different island. So many women never venture past their village. You are a beautiful woman both inside and out. Congratulations on your adventure.
Not everyone can do it especially foreigners. I have done like that before but after a couple years wanted more amenities. Hang in there. I love your channel
@@Rubeauti As with anything, it’s important to have hobbies stay busy and take the occasional vacation. Always nice to come home and sleep on your own bed with your own pillow.
Yes i would agree with you about the food. Its better when its fresher and without all the chemicals and preservatives. In the US its still possible to get the more naturally grown fruits and vegetables. Out in the more rural areas is where you find it. The smaller towns are great, less hustle and bustle. I lived in a small town in the Philippines and it was great. However, every now and then i had to get to the city because i was getting a bit bored. I guess i just needed a temporary change. I hope everything works out for you there. Great video 😊
haha exactly. I'll make another video about how rural is not a lifestyle for everyone. what you just experience in the province is how I imagine for some westerners.

@@Rubeauti Do you rent or is that your place ? Looking to buy a small place with small land so I can spend winter in a warm climate, just a small place nothing fancy or is it better to buy some land a build a small place on the land ? Could you check out some prices for me ? If you wanted if the land is cheap you could build a place for yourself on the land also then you could keep an eye on both places when I come back home for the summer.
Hey Rubeauti, may you be greatly blessed. Yes, it's true that food in the America is very unhealthy. It is over processed and full of chemicals. I would suggest that you plant lots of peas and beans. I would also suggest that while you are in San Juan that you check out the Church to see if they grow food for sale. Also, I am curious how in an overwhelmingly Catholic country you have become a Seventh Day Adventist? Just a thought, with the clean waters around Dumaguete and Siquijor that you buy lots of healthy fish. God bless and keep you!
I couldn't do it, well I'll rephrase that. If i absolutely had to I could do it, but i have worked my butt off for years and I'm ready to retire. Hot water etccc. I served in the military and i NEVER EVEREVER want to cold camp again. Are mosquitoes tearing me to pieces. But i admire you for what you're doing. I have been watching your videos for some years now.
Did you get rid of the mold in the house? Was the vinegar a help? My wife and I have a ranch and a house in town on acreage. My son and his wife live on my ranch and we raise cattle and poultry there. At our place in town we raise are own vegetables. Food we buy in the grocery stores here either come out of Mexico or are loaded with preservatives. Grow your own and stay healthy.
Are you Cebuana? I worked in the states with a woman with your complexion. I was there last year, there was a typhoon, but I went to El Nido it was beautiful. The food was great and organic. The food in the states are laden with high fructose corn syrup which is toxic to the body. I saw a jar of garlic that had high fructose corn-go figure!
Gardening is fun! There are a lot of little tricks to learn for each plant. I started in 2019 and I learn something new every season. This season we’re trying out new things with soil and fertilizer, plus co-planting. Gardening is one of those hobbies that can take up a little bit of time, or your whole day. Best wishes in your new endeavor!
You're freaking awesome! I think you choose wisely,I had the thought of doing that very thing! Cheap like a local but in paradise! Here in America people rush rush rush and die younger here! And you are correct about food here! It's mostly very bad for you (on purpose) and I highly don't recommend it! Lucky I was paying attention at a young age of 16 studied about it and made better choices! They literally put stuff in the water and food here that is banned in many countries! The majority of the population is unaware of it even though the net has a lot of information about it! If I were you (I will be so to speak pretty soon) I would take a pause and see if that little piece of paradise may be a key to great joy! Can't wait to see your garden! God bless you ❤
Hello Rubeauti. Not that you didn't before, it just that you look great after such a short time in that environment. Farm to table is always the best option. Rather expensive and hard to find here in Canada, but we do have various Farmer's markets with a mix of imported and local goods. Glad to see your progress and new adventure!
I changed my diet years ago and lost 35kg . I don't eat any processed foods, nothing with sugar, no soda etc and a low carb diet. I try to eat only whole natural foods. I find lots of things from the Philippines have way too much sugar in them, the peanut butter and spaghetti sauces are super sweet to me, I can eat them. I get all my sugar from mostly fruit and real honey. I think it's great if you have some land to grow your own fruits and vegetables especially with the prices today for organic food. ❤
I just stumbled on to your video again after a year or so. Love the improved quality, and nice camera. It is true about the food here in the U.S. I remember visiting Costa Rica and asking my mother why does the bread taste so different than in the states? We ate bread and carbs everyday, and nobody gained weight.
Its so good to see, that not the whole world is stressful living. You live in paradise. I love it. One last thing, you surely hear it everyday but doesn't matter, you are beautiful with the new hair.
I have one of the best jobs in America at 32 & been here 12 years... debating on giving it up for a life like yours with a Filipina. Money doesn't buy happiness. Happiness is having a family which is rare in America.
I imagine it being a beautiful place (both seen & unseen) the simplicity of certain areas brings about elegances. though not always convenient, especially for the most. yet a steady but humble lively experience to embrace!
Hi Rubeauti. Nice video and nice you are going to have a garden. Fresh is always best. I have no where to have a garden but I do have a place in Dumaguete that I can get good fresh veggies and also Valencia Market. This past Sunday I got the best tomatos I have found here and a good price. Love your new look. Keep smiling and stay safe
I'm very excited about your garden. We here in Canada always grow a garden, and actually still have some frozen tomatoes in the freezer. We always grow too many. One piece of advice is watch that manure. It will make your crops grow better, but there are some health risks. Do not grow root crops in that stuff. We put lots of leaves in our garden in the fall, and come spring they are half rotted and the garden grows well. We also have a big compost box that we move once a year, so ya, your idea of compost is excellent. You go girl!
After you posted theses videos of this island . I have been looking more and more into it ! I’m originally from South Florida, grew up in the 60s-70 ! This island reminds me of my long lost home ! It’s a reminder of the keys of that time ! I’m now 60. And this looks like the quiet laid-back life I’ve grown accustomed to since moving to Kentucky mix with my childhood home from the 70s !
Planting and get seedlings is easy, but it is soo difficult to actually have tomatoes growing in the Philippines. In Norway I never had a problem growing tomatoes in my garden, but in the Philippines I really struggle. I grow bell peppers, chilies and all kind of herbs. I even have now lots of trees from lemoncito and lemons that I sprouted from seeds back in 2017. They are thriving in the jungle. But tomatoes, not so successfull. I hope you will manage to get some nice veggies from your garden. Also you should consider having some chicken for eggs and goats for meat.
What they said about the food is absolutely true. I've recently been experimenting with the carnivore lifestyle. I fast 19 hours and eat once a day, no carbs. In a month I lost 30 lbs. Eating grass fed when possible.
Living up in the Aurora province and its beautiful. I'm from city life in Texas, and the air here is really clean and fresh. Saturday market day in Baler vendors come from all over the province and beyond selling fresh food! I was totally impressed! Living here a few months, I have lost weight and feel great! If I want the mall and big city life, I can hop on a bus and head down to Cabanatuan City for a day trip. I don't care for the mosquitoes, but you buy a handheld zapper for that, lol. It's a lot of fun with a Mig lite beer.
I really like your hair! You look so fresh and healthy. After being here in PH for 6 months I feel more healthy and I have lost about 15 pounds. It might be the food but actually I think for me it's primarily cause I walk so much now. According to my iPhone I am walking about 5 miles per day. That's twice as much as I walked in California. I love my life here! Nice video!
Hello Rubeauti. Thank you for the information on available fruit and avocados. Also, thank you for the information on buying meat early in the morning. I’m Canadian living in Japan and I grow a lot of my own fruit and vegetables. I forgot which area in the Philippines you are living. Are you on Siquijor?
yes that's it! I have friend in Japan. she's growing veggies in the vacant lot in their apartment. and the excess yield she sells it. she's so good in planting. 😊
Yeah you have to stay away from a lot of the processed foods here in America. Good advice I've heard is to, "Shop on the edge." That's where you find all the produce, veggies, fruits, and meat. But the middle sections where all the isles are where all the processed foods are like bread, cereals, snacks like chips, and frozen foods. Your food is definitely way better than ours though!
Even around the edge these days is unhealthy in your average supermarket. When I pick spinach from my garden it begins to wilt within hours. If I buy "organic" spinach from about any supermarket, it can last in my fridge for months. I don't know what they do to it, but I suspect they irradiate it. The milk and dairy come from corn fed and other things fed to cows. The meat too. If you have ever eaten a backyard chicken egg, the yoke is orange. It is bright yellow from a supermarket egg. The chicken meat come from a rapidly growing chicken, that is an industrial secret how it is bred. Almost all the produce is laced with pesticides and grown with artificial fertilizers. And it is getting worse. Oregon has declared war on the small farmer. Pennsylvania and other states are going after the Amish farmers.
@@RubeautiThe food is very scary here. The food I grow in my garden is delicious and full of flavor. Nothing compares to the great feeling of eating living food grown by your own hands. It is so tasteless and bland from the super market, it has no life. I feel so much better during the season I can eat from my garden. I think you know what I am talking about when you pick a fresh mango off the tree. You are in for a wonderful treat with the garden you are about to grow. I will love to see your videos on it. You need to grow garlic in your garden. It has so many healthy benefits. Plus it makes your food taste wonderful. Research plants that compliment each other and grow them together. The native Americans here for example, would grow native corn, beans and squash together. They are complimentary plants that benefit each other, if you get into growing those type of plants. Probably not a traditional Filipina diet. But if you do, you need to get native traditional corn, probably from Mexico. Not the hybrid corn that comes from the USA, because that corn is bad for you.
So with the vegetable garden being planted, you're staying longer then a month and what you produce aways tastes a lot better! Yes I would try that ice cream, looks yummy. Also don't fire the hair that was errant, it was just groovin to the breeze!
I am enjoying your video . Can I ask what island you’re on . I have been to the Philippines many times and always try to go somewhere different every time . I have a few favourites that I have discovered along the way .
Thank you for the updates and taking the time to make these videos. You are looking as beautiful as ever Rubeauti. I love the new hairstyle. It looks fabulous on you. It looks like your seedlings are coming along nicely. Growing your own food is very gratifying. Sadly, just about any processed food in America is full of chemicals and preservatives that have been banned in many other countries. High fructose corn syrup is one of the worst. It's in everything. Processed bread has bleached flour. Healthy foods, organic foods can be found, but it's very expensive. A lot of our fruits and vegetables have been irradiated. So, even if you wanted to take seeds from those foods and plant them yourself, they won't grow. Thank you again for these videos. Seeing you always makes my day. 😍😍😍
Exactly, EU is strict with ingredients on their processed food. But US don;t care. That's what the ppl in US say on these videos and some documentaries
Holy Smokes! I got so much I could say here. But it is your platform and I’m not going to invade your space. You show us the beauty of where you live and the simplicity of it all. Most western folk can’t comprehend it, but I do. I want soooo much to be there!
On the subject of food. I am 70.living in a small town in England. When i was young we had similar shops to the Philippines. Small Family owned Fresh Groceries and butchers. We knew the name of the owners. A person could have a good conversation with the owner and the other customers. It is part of the community spirit. You felt you had strong roots. you felt you belonged and had a solid base in life. I can only imagine it must have been similar in the small towns of America.The single customer could buy as little as he or she wanted and it was fresh. That is the most important thing for our body. Very little packaging and certainly no plastic wrappings on anything. It only lasted a few days. There was no waste because my mother would only buy what we would eat. Maybe planning the meals for the week. We were poor but blessed because we had fresh food to eat. Over time the supermarkets put these shops out of business. Changed the high street and the community spirit that was the soul of it. The food scientist have had to take over to feed so many people in the world. I understand that. If i have the choice I will always choose fresh food. Rubeauti is showing me. Especially with her growing fruits and vegetables. That is the way we should all be living. Reconnecting with the land and nature. Thank you, Rubeauti for having such a beautiful heart and mind and sharing your story with us.
That kind of life must be wonderful for your mental health Rubueati. Lovely to see you so happy. Growing up, much of our food was seasonal. We only ate strawberries, cherries, plums and other foods in the short season they were available. It made such treats more special! Is there a possibility you could set up a rainwater collection system to save your drinking water? Many countries won't allow some US food stuffs due to genetic modification or use of chemicals. Home raised/grown has to be really good for you! All the blessings for your new life! 🙏🏻🌹
I'm glad you are enjoying your new rural life there. I hope your problems you were having with coughing at night and not sleeping are better. Did you get rid of all the mold in the house?
Very interesting video. I didn't fall asleep at all! Lol It does take effort and more time to find healthy foods in the USA, but it is possible. Bakery food is usually the worst. Charcoal ice cream sounds interesting. Black walnut ice cream and black licorice ice cream are my favorites, but both are hard to find. Good luck on your gardening!
I've been watching your videos in order to learn as much as possible about the Philippines because I plan on retiring there in a few years. Watching this video, I finally realized how beautiful you are. Thank you for all you do.
Its not that the food its the crazy portion sizes we serve in the US. The warm weather in the PI will definitely curb your appetite. I lived in Singapore for a while and it was easy to stay thin and lean.
Somewhat true about American standard food. When I spent 4 months in the Philippines last year, I ate much healthier because the food was fresh from the local suppliers. Tomatoes had great tastes. One concern is that in the Philippines there appears little control over what you are getting and how it’s grown. But, even though food production in the US is tightly controlled, there are many time preservatives added that typically may not be as healthy. Looking forward to getting back this year and eating my breakfast pandasal, fresh tomatoes and bananas.
This is your best video that I have watched. I too live in a rural community in the USA. I spend four months a year in your country. Finding fresh beef in Lapu Lapu is impossible. I am cautious because I don't like the taste of Freezer Burn. Good job on the garden.
Yes. HFCS, High Fructose Corn Syrup, is the sweetener used in place of sugar in the USA, and it is 14 times more fattening than the sugar it replaced. Some other chemical stuff on the label (Fanta) is probably bad ju-ju, but HFCS was obvious. It is outlawed in some countries, but it is in most bottled and packaged food products here.
Great job maam. Me and my Pinay want same peaceful lifestyle. Its wonderful to see you chose mindfulness over superficial western ideals ie. Possessions and superficial thoughts
Find the new subscriber, I always try to catch your videos I think you live in sycamore, you always look great, I think you're famous in the Philippines, I will be traveling there sometime this year hope to see you there, I will look for you and it will make my day if I can chat with you❤
Nice to see the familiar views, looks just like when I was there. During my stay I almost exclusively used the Wonderland restaurant, they have great plant based food, and the portions are quite generous (e.g. compared to Shaka). Gosh I want to go back, it's so boring and dull here in Berlin in comparison. 😅Btw, I hope you're feeling better and not couching anymore!

Gardening is fun! There are a lot of little tricks to learn for each plant. I started in 2019 and I learn something new every season. This season we’re trying out new things with soil and fertilizer, plus co-planting.
Gardening is one of those hobbies that can take up a little bit of time, or your whole day. Best wishes in your new endeavor!
true! I am already getting tired and impatient. I wanna harvest some fruits but they are still babies hahaha
You're freaking awesome! I think you choose wisely,I had the thought of doing that very thing! Cheap like a local but in paradise! Here in America people rush rush rush and die younger here! And you are correct about food here! It's mostly very bad for you (on purpose) and I highly don't recommend it! Lucky I was paying attention at a young age of 16 studied about it and made better choices! They literally put stuff in the water and food here that is banned in many countries! The majority of the population is unaware of it even though the net has a lot of information about it! If I were you (I will be so to speak pretty soon) I would take a pause and see if that little piece of paradise may be a key to great joy! Can't wait to see your garden! God bless you ❤
Hello Rubeauti. Not that you didn't before, it just that you look great after such a short time in that environment. Farm to table is always the best option. Rather expensive and hard to find here in Canada, but we do have various Farmer's markets with a mix of imported and local goods. Glad to see your progress and new adventure!
haha thank you!
I changed my diet years ago and lost 35kg . I don't eat any processed foods, nothing with sugar, no soda etc and a low carb diet. I try to eat only whole natural foods. I find lots of things from the Philippines have way too much sugar in them, the peanut butter and spaghetti sauces are super sweet to me, I can eat them. I get all my sugar from mostly fruit and real honey.
I think it's great if you have some land to grow your own fruits and vegetables especially with the prices today for organic food. ❤
Yeah that is so true! organics are the most expensive 🤦🏽♀️
I just stumbled on to your video again after a year or so. Love the improved quality, and nice camera. It is true about the food here in the U.S. I remember visiting Costa Rica and asking my mother why does the bread taste so different than in the states? We ate bread and carbs everyday, and nobody gained weight.
She seems honest and sincere. Add that to her natural beauty and she is everything that beauty is supposed to be.
It is so relaxing watching your charming commentary on adopting a "slow" rural life.
Its so good to see, that not the whole world is stressful living. You live in paradise. I love it.
One last thing, you surely hear it everyday but doesn't matter, you are beautiful with the new hair.
I have one of the best jobs in America at 32 & been here 12 years... debating on giving it up for a life like yours with a Filipina. Money doesn't buy happiness. Happiness is having a family which is rare in America.
Bump
I imagine it being a beautiful place (both seen & unseen)
the simplicity of certain areas brings about elegances.
though not always convenient, especially for the most.
yet a steady but humble lively experience to embrace!
My Beauty! Love your new haircut.
Hi Rubeauti. Nice video and nice you are going to have a garden. Fresh is always best. I have no where to have a garden but I do have a place in Dumaguete that I can get good fresh veggies and also Valencia Market. This past Sunday I got the best tomatos I have found here and a good price. Love your new look. Keep smiling and stay safe
Nice video.
Does amazon ship to this island?
I'm very excited about your garden. We here in Canada always grow a garden, and actually still have some frozen tomatoes in the freezer. We always grow too many. One piece of advice is watch that manure. It will make your crops grow better, but there are some health risks. Do not grow root crops in that stuff. We put lots of leaves in our garden in the fall, and come spring they are half rotted and the garden grows well. We also have a big compost box that we move once a year, so ya, your idea of compost is excellent. You go girl!
After you posted theses videos of this island . I have been looking more and more into it ! I’m originally from South Florida, grew up in the 60s-70 ! This island reminds me of my long lost home ! It’s a reminder of the keys of that time ! I’m now 60. And this looks like the quiet laid-back life I’ve grown accustomed to since moving to Kentucky mix with my childhood home from the 70s !
The sun looks hot but you look great. Glad you like the country life
Planting and get seedlings is easy, but it is soo difficult to actually have tomatoes growing in the Philippines. In Norway I never had a problem growing tomatoes in my garden, but in the Philippines I really struggle. I grow bell peppers, chilies and all kind of herbs. I even have now lots of trees from lemoncito and lemons that I sprouted from seeds back in 2017. They are thriving in the jungle.
But tomatoes, not so successfull. I hope you will manage to get some nice veggies from your garden. Also you should consider having some chicken for eggs and goats for meat.
You are charming 👊🏻🇨🇦 Good luck 🌿
What they said about the food is absolutely true. I've recently been experimenting with the carnivore lifestyle. I fast 19 hours and eat once a day, no carbs. In a month I lost 30 lbs. Eating grass fed when possible.
Living up in the Aurora province and its beautiful. I'm from city life in Texas, and the air here is really clean and fresh. Saturday market day in Baler vendors come from all over the province and beyond selling fresh food! I was totally impressed! Living here a few months, I have lost weight and feel great! If I want the mall and big city life, I can hop on a bus and head down to Cabanatuan City for a day trip. I don't care for the mosquitoes, but you buy a handheld zapper for that, lol. It's a lot of fun with a Mig lite beer.
the tennis electric mosquito killer is fun! haha
@@Rubeauti Yeah! That's it!
I love your short hair cut, it suits you.
Wow, that is an amazing little town! Beautiful!
I really like your hair! You look so fresh and healthy. After being here in PH for 6 months I feel more healthy and I have lost about 15 pounds. It might be the food but actually I think for me it's primarily cause I walk so much now. According to my iPhone I am walking about 5 miles per day. That's twice as much as I walked in California. I love my life here! Nice video!
Hello Rubeauti. Thank you for the information on available fruit and avocados. Also, thank you for the information on buying meat early in the morning. I’m Canadian living in Japan and I grow a lot of my own fruit and vegetables. I forgot which area in the Philippines you are living. Are you on Siquijor?
yes that's it! I have friend in Japan. she's growing veggies in the vacant lot in their apartment. and the excess yield she sells it. she's so good in planting. 😊
Good for you! You look happier and even more vibrant! Great to see you like this! Enjoy! 🙂❤️
Hey Ray! Thank you!
@@Rubeauti I haven't been commenting much, but I'm still watching your videos... 👍❤️
Yeah you have to stay away from a lot of the processed foods here in America. Good advice I've heard is to, "Shop on the edge." That's where you find all the produce, veggies, fruits, and meat. But the middle sections where all the isles are where all the processed foods are like bread, cereals, snacks like chips, and frozen foods. Your food is definitely way better than ours though!
Even around the edge these days is unhealthy in your average supermarket. When I pick spinach from my garden it begins to wilt within hours. If I buy "organic" spinach from about any supermarket, it can last in my fridge for months. I don't know what they do to it, but I suspect they irradiate it. The milk and dairy come from corn fed and other things fed to cows. The meat too. If you have ever eaten a backyard chicken egg, the yoke is orange. It is bright yellow from a supermarket egg. The chicken meat come from a rapidly growing chicken, that is an industrial secret how it is bred. Almost all the produce is laced with pesticides and grown with artificial fertilizers. And it is getting worse. Oregon has declared war on the small farmer. Pennsylvania and other states are going after the Amish farmers.
WOW! sounds scary that spinach thing
@@RubeautiThe food is very scary here. The food I grow in my garden is delicious and full of flavor. Nothing compares to the great feeling of eating living food grown by your own hands. It is so tasteless and bland from the super market, it has no life. I feel so much better during the season I can eat from my garden. I think you know what I am talking about when you pick a fresh mango off the tree.
You are in for a wonderful treat with the garden you are about to grow. I will love to see your videos on it. You need to grow garlic in your garden. It has so many healthy benefits. Plus it makes your food taste wonderful.
Research plants that compliment each other and grow them together. The native Americans here for example, would grow native corn, beans and squash together. They are complimentary plants that benefit each other, if you get into growing those type of plants. Probably not a traditional Filipina diet. But if you do, you need to get native traditional corn, probably from Mexico. Not the hybrid corn that comes from the USA, because that corn is bad for you.
You look even more beautiful with this change, Rubeauti.
I loved the witch comment! That was so smoothly done @Rubeauti
So with the vegetable garden being planted, you're staying longer then a month and what you produce aways tastes a lot better! Yes I would try that ice cream, looks yummy. Also don't fire the hair that was errant, it was just groovin to the breeze!
maybe i'll get impatient and just leave the plants there hahaha they are taking so long to grow 🤣
Well done Rubeauti in your garden!
I love that hair style on you.
Absolutely true about food in America. You can avoid it though just by staying away from processed food.
Thank you for this information Rubeauti!
I am enjoying your video . Can I ask what island you’re on . I have been to the Philippines many times and always try to go somewhere different every time . I have a few favourites that I have discovered along the way .
This is in Siquijor Island
I love watching your videos, thank you for your effort, I will even watch the dam commercials. May God Bless you and your lifestyle.
Honestly, this is the kind of life I always dream of. I want a small place near a small town and a woman that loves me as much as I do her.
Thank you for the updates and taking the time to make these videos. You are looking as beautiful as ever Rubeauti. I love the new hairstyle. It looks fabulous on you. It looks like your seedlings are coming along nicely. Growing your own food is very gratifying. Sadly, just about any processed food in America is full of chemicals and preservatives that have been banned in many other countries. High fructose corn syrup is one of the worst. It's in everything. Processed bread has bleached flour. Healthy foods, organic foods can be found, but it's very expensive. A lot of our fruits and vegetables have been irradiated. So, even if you wanted to take seeds from those foods and plant them yourself, they won't grow. Thank you again for these videos. Seeing you always makes my day. 😍😍😍
Exactly, EU is strict with ingredients on their processed food. But US don;t care. That's what the ppl in US say on these videos and some documentaries
Absolutely well done girl
Rubeauti, you represent all that is good and beautiful about the Philipinnes and its people, never change, your heart and spirit are wonderful :)
Holy Smokes! I got so much I could say here. But it is your platform and I’m not going to invade your space.
You show us the beauty of where you live and the simplicity of it all. Most western folk can’t comprehend it, but I do.
I want soooo much to be there!
I could live in a place like this =) looks nice.
On the subject of food. I am 70.living in a small town in England. When i was young we had similar shops to the Philippines. Small Family owned Fresh Groceries and butchers. We knew the name of the owners. A person could have a good conversation with the owner and the other customers. It is part of the community spirit. You felt you had strong roots. you felt you belonged and had a solid base in life. I can only imagine it must have been similar in the small towns of America.The single customer could buy as little as he or she wanted and it was fresh. That is the most important thing for our body. Very little packaging and certainly no plastic wrappings on anything. It only lasted a few days. There was no waste because my mother would only buy what we would eat. Maybe planning the meals for the week. We were poor but blessed because we had fresh food to eat. Over time the supermarkets put these shops out of business. Changed the high street and the community spirit that was the soul of it. The food scientist have had to take over to feed so many people in the world. I understand that. If i have the choice I will always choose fresh food. Rubeauti is showing me. Especially with her growing fruits and vegetables. That is the way we should all be living. Reconnecting with the land and nature.
Thank you, Rubeauti for having such a beautiful heart and mind and sharing your story with us.
That kind of life must be wonderful for your mental health Rubueati. Lovely to see you so happy. Growing up, much of our food was seasonal. We only ate strawberries, cherries, plums and other foods in the short season they were available. It made such treats more special! Is there a possibility you could set up a rainwater collection system to save your drinking water? Many countries won't allow some US food stuffs due to genetic modification or use of chemicals. Home raised/grown has to be really good for you! All the blessings for your new life! 🙏🏻🌹
I'm glad you are enjoying your new rural life there. I hope your problems you were having with coughing at night and not sleeping are better. Did you get rid of all the mold in the house?
Very interesting video. I didn't fall asleep at all! Lol It does take effort and more time to find healthy foods in the USA, but it is possible. Bakery food is usually the worst. Charcoal ice cream sounds interesting. Black walnut ice cream and black licorice ice cream are my favorites, but both are hard to find. Good luck on your gardening!
I've been watching your videos in order to learn as much as possible about the Philippines because I plan on retiring there in a few years. Watching this video, I finally realized how beautiful you are. Thank you for all you do.
Good to see you’re doing well enjoying life in your place. You look amazing, so the change really suits you well. Take care be safe enjoy God bless
what a fine looking lady and smart too
Great information and it is nice you are so pretty
Miss you, Rubeauti!!!. You look great. Hope to see you soon!!
Its not that the food its the crazy portion sizes we serve in the US. The warm weather in the PI will definitely curb your appetite. I lived in Singapore for a while and it was easy to stay thin and lean.
Somewhat true about American standard food. When I spent 4 months in the Philippines last year, I ate much healthier because the food was fresh from the local suppliers. Tomatoes had great tastes. One concern is that in the Philippines there appears little control over what you are getting and how it’s grown. But, even though food production in the US is tightly controlled, there are many time preservatives added that typically may not be as healthy. Looking forward to getting back this year and eating my breakfast pandasal, fresh tomatoes and bananas.
Your hair looks great like that!
This is your best video that I have watched. I too live in a rural community in the USA. I spend four months a year in your country. Finding fresh beef in Lapu Lapu is impossible. I am cautious because I don't like the taste of Freezer Burn. Good job on the garden.
hahaha theres fresh beef here but need to wake up super early and I cant 😩
Yes. HFCS, High Fructose Corn Syrup, is the sweetener used in place of sugar in the USA, and it is 14 times more fattening than the sugar it replaced. Some other chemical stuff on the label (Fanta) is probably bad ju-ju, but HFCS was obvious. It is outlawed in some countries, but it is in most bottled and packaged food products here.
I'm new to your channel. What area are you in? I live in Porac Pampamga
Great job maam. Me and my Pinay want same peaceful lifestyle. Its wonderful to see you chose mindfulness over superficial western ideals ie. Possessions and superficial thoughts
I've heard beef can be hard to come by. Do you have any other kinds of red meat that are common in the Philippines, like goat maybe?
Find the new subscriber, I always try to catch your videos I think you live in sycamore, you always look great, I think you're famous in the Philippines, I will be traveling there sometime this year hope to see you there, I will look for you and it will make my day if I can chat with you❤
Nice to see the familiar views, looks just like when I was there. During my stay I almost exclusively used the Wonderland restaurant, they have great plant based food, and the portions are quite generous (e.g. compared to Shaka). Gosh I want to go back, it's so boring and dull here in Berlin in comparison. 😅Btw, I hope you're feeling better and not couching anymore!
