This was the longest 7 hours of my life. I can barely smile.
The "yummy" calamansi juice according to Neil G. Great timing indeed, I stood there and froze while he had his "tea break".
The crowd outside Fully Booked. The line was really long it turned and twisted until the parking lot outside the Promenade.
Dinner after the sacrifice at Teriyaki Boy. We had Kani Salad (Bento Box's KS is way better), tamago sashimi, Chicken teriyaki, and Ebi tempura, and thirst-quenching lipton iced tea.
I'm not yet a Gaiman fan, but he scored a thousand pogi points for his patience for bearing with emotional, giggling, blabbering people. The ladies were all over him (most of them), asking to hug or even kiss him, I can tell his hand was numb from signing tons of books that day and the other night, still, that unwavering smile and coolness. Neil, you are really loved here! :)
Before signing, he read excerpts from Anansi Boys (taken by hny while I was at the back of the building)

I heard that the crowd for the book signing yesterday at Gateway started to build-up as early as 8.30 am. Signing began at 4.00 pm. They said it reached three floors. People are crazy, including me I guess. =)

waaahhhh!!! ingget! nakaka-inis, i was counting on the book pass pero kailangan pa pala ng bookstub at lagi akong nauubusan. huhuhu.
pero super nice nga daw talaga ni mr. gaiman according to some fortunate friends.
you should read good omens (w/ terry pratchett) or stardust, that would surely make a hardcore fan out of you. hehehe. :)

hi jeng! Sayang naman, sana pala pinadala mo na lang sakin ung book mo kasi si dô lang yung meron, nahiya naman ako na pumasok sa loob ng fully booked na wala namang papasignan kaya yun tinanong ko yung guy in front of me kung gusto nya ako na lang magpasign nung isa pa nyang book kasi one book per person na lang yung allowed. Fan ka pala niya hehe
