  I was invited to the opening of a coffee shop in San Jose Batangas by no other than my best friend, the one and only Reyna  Batangueña – Queenee  Mercado. A brief story, I commented on her post and I thought it was their new house that is under construction, and to my surprise, it is a building being constructed to be their family business- a coffee shop. I am happy and excited at the same time and cannot wait for the opening of their business. Weeks later, I received an invitation to open the coffee shop on May 28, 2023- the date I marked the calendar.

I wake up before sunrise and prepare the things I need including my camera, and drink coffee to awaken my sleeping senses - time check it is 3.30 AM. I took a bath, then dress and set foot in Batangas. While on the bus, I can see clearly what the opening of business looks like, I arrived at the place 15 minutes before the blessing and ribbon cutting, was greeted by the family members of Mercado and handover the bottles of red wine and champagne to Aimon–brother of Queenee, greeted Queenee as she greeted me with her welcoming and sweet smile.



            

     

    Prayer was led by  Queenee herself with family members and invited friends and 
           the Mayor  of  San Jose Batangas - Valentino R. Patron.

  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.
