Neil Gaiman in Manila This March

I can't help getting excited with the email I received last Thursday morning.  Neil Gaiman will be in Manila on March 17 to 18, 2010.  He'll be at  the 3rd Philippine Graphic/Fiction Awards Night on March 17 where, if I read it right, he will reveal the winners in the different categories.  He will also unveil the Philippine Graphic/Fiction Anthology, a collection of the winning entries of the same contest.  There will also be a raffle during the event where the winner will have a free dinner with Mr. Gaiman.

On March 18, he will have a book signing activity at the Rockwell Power Plant Mall in Makati.  To be part of this event, one must buy at least 2,000 pesos worth of Gaiman's book in a single receipt starting February 27.  The buyer will then be eligible to a pass that he or she will present during the book signing.  By the way, Gaiman will sign two books per person, yes only two books.

My office mate and I are thinking of going there to have our books signed. We were already making a list of books that we will buy when someone pointed out that March 18 is a work day. Bummer.

Happy New Year... Again

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well the 2010 is not that new anymore, it's already two weeks old. It's only now that I am able to open my account here and actually update my blog.

Speaking of this blog, it has been three months since I last updated it and I only posted 7 times the entire year. It's not because there was nothing to write about, it's because I was too LAZY to write. Hopefully it would be different this year. But I am not making promises.

This year started with a me on a long road trip! I will be writing about it later but me and my family went on a four day trip to the northern part of Luzon. It was the same trip I took in December 2008 with my nephews and nieces. I will really make my self write something about it. It's been a week since we got back so hopefully with the help of photos I took of the trip, I'd be able to recall the places we went to.

I'll end this post on that positive note. Happy new year again and hopefully, this one would be better than the last.
