Gift From Canada “With Love”
22 February, 2009 | 9 comments | Published under Blog | 142 views
Since January I was informed by a representative from one of the Canadian companies I’m temporarily affiliated with that they have sent a “christmas gift” to me without disclosure about it. Since then, I patiently waited for it until nearly two months later, I got a parcel notice. Two days later, I went to the post office and successfully claimed the gift in a small packet.
This is actually the second gift I received from Canada ever in my life. The first one was last year when I got a bunch of goodies from my great boss that I will always remember and never forget. This time though, the impact to me is more like a token of gratitude or remembrance as there is no certainty how long will I still work for them.
As you can see on the picture, I got a red T-shirt with a company logo embroidered on it. I appreciate it a lot as I know it was sent with good thoughts and it’s what that counts more than the material thing. Knowing that it arrived shortly after Valentine’s Day, however, I find it hard to accept if this was really sent as a Christmas gift.
It would have been great if it was sent for the recent event that took place earlier this month. Anyway, I love the gift nevertheless and I’m keeping the packet container as a remembrance.
The sender is from Montreal and it’s amazing to thinking that it traveled a long way up to here in Davao City, Philippines. I wish going to Montreal is as easy as getting inside a packet and going to the post office – I would send myself! But no, it’s not the case.

Getting gifts any time of year is always great IMO.
Glad you have have friends who care enough to send you free stuff.
You know a crate would actually be bigger for you rather than an envelope.
