It's a box of El Idea Galletas from Bacolod from one of our seniors. Galletas is a thin biscuit popular in that region. I haven't had one for years, but I remember I like eating it. There are lots of reasons why this box of goodies made my day:
1. I get to taste an old favorite - not just a piece, but a whole box of it!
2. The person who gave it to me is not close to me. So, it was quite a surprise to get something from out of the blue.
3. It was a box of goodies that she originally bought for herself, but when she found out about my condition and that I like galletas, she gave it to us instead (eventhough I didn't ask for it).
I couldn't help but go to her office and hugged and kissed her to thank her for the special gift. We felt so loved!
