Summer Friendship to Eternity - Part 1

-

 It was the summer of April 2013 it was a quick trip to Lipa Batangas and see what the place has to offer in terms of landscape photography. Backtrack, I met the owner and founder of the modeling school-PHILIPPINE FASHION MODELO ACADEMY(PFMA) where Queenee was one of the students back then, it was supposed to be a meet and greet and leave the place but I was hooked to stay.

 Why and how did our friendship start? And how do we keep it until this day? These are the questions most people ask me and my answer is always the same and consistent. Let me share this brief story of how it all started, It was after lunch in April 2013 and everyone is busy and waiting for the practice to start, a glimpse in my eyes caught my attention, yes it was a glimpse of her smile, friendly as she is, a bubble of happiness, a reflection of her personality and character.

I remember she used to call me “idol” to which I   asked, why not “best friend”? and from that day onwards it is a friendship that blossomed throughout the years past.

This friendship consisted of being a family friend to his three brothers, her parents, Grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousins, and the whole family as part of the inner circle. I am so blessed to have them as friends and owe every memory of celebrations to Queenee, which solidifies our friendship.

Ten years of being a good friend is something that I cannot take for granted and or leave it behind, that no amount of words I can describe how happy, blessed, and calm this friendship evolve in the world of uncertainties, Silence speaks louder how we grow as a person.

To my Dear Best Friend, thank you for your trust and kind words, and let this blog be my open letter to you and your family.

  Kafénaman   Coffee and Friendship, Brewing to Perfection. We all do love coffee from Brewed to Americano to iced coffee, Ice caramel macchiato, and the whole nine yards about coffee with or without sugar and creamer. Coffee lovers have their reason why coffee and what coffee is all about, it is how they cope with long days at work, for some, it is as simple as relaxation, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Traditionally, coffee serves the purpose of enjoying the day and life itself, coffee means love and the definition of love itself. Coffee shops exist on every corner of the street, from simple coffee vending machines at 7-11 stores across the country and everyone loves it including myself, and nothing beats the smell of rich aroma freshly brewed by the barista. Every reason why an individual loves coffee goes back to the time coffee was introduced to humanity, back in the day coffee was not as popular as today’s time.
