Even before getting married, andrea and i have often imagined ourselves owning a business of our own - more specifically a small coffee shop of our own. You see, even though we’re quite content with our work now, we’ve always seen ourselves spending the lazy afternoons of our grey years talking to each other over coffee from our own coffee shop.

Why? Why the heck not?

We both love coffee and we both dream of becoming our own bosses someday. Actually, if we had the money right now, this dream coffee shop would cease to be a dream already. The only reason it remains to be so is because the whole thing costs a bit. I mean, aside from the structure (shop) itself, we’d have to buy a capresso, an assortment of flavorings, coffee beans, and, on top of all that, hire a legitimate barista.

I don’t aim on competing against Starbucks or Figarro. Heck, I don’t want to compete with anyone at all. I just wanna spend my lazy afternoons with my wife in conversations over coffee - our coffee.
