Wednesday of last week started so right. The creative swap haul sent by my partner arrived. Immediately I munched on the galletas (that little pack of bread-crackers, that’s how we call it in Laguna). It reminded me so much of my late grandparents. I remember they normally dip that in black coffee. I also got banana chips, a tri-color yarn, handmade stickers (I’m using soon), and of course that neatly wrapped big surprise. When I read her letter, I really thought she read my mind.
She wrote,
“Since you love to travel and you love shoes, I made a shoe bag for you to put your beloved shoes inside when you are on the go….
…and to make it more special, I also made a shoe stuffer so your shoes won’t be deformed while traveling.”
As I told her (in the email), I was thinking of making/buying a shoe bag and stuffer. These came just in time.
(The shoe bag and shoe stuffer. Minus the shoes. I was just trying to fit in my current favorite pair.)
Further, she wrote,
I hope you’re a Twilight fan because I named this “The Twilight Shoe Companion”.
Ang galing! The color and fabric aptly matched my Twilight shoes. Yes, this pair is still alive. 
Thank you again, Bem. And it made me feel more special and luckier when I learned who became your assistant while working on this one.
