email from the Sandman
I was having a rough day today coz its my exam week. I met up with Lace to have lunch near her school and after that I went back to my class to take the exam, after my 2nd class I went to the nearest internet shop to kill time.
and when I opened my inbox.
Neil Gaiman emailed me! and it was awesome! and he reads my blog!!
thanks so much Mr. Neil Gaiman, it was a pleasure to meet you and thanks for the once in a lifetime experience to be with you and near you for 3 days. Its funny that everyone didnt got a chance to meet you, but I got lucky and this event will be memorable.
whew! after reading his email i got stunned and shock. hm.its like eating my favorite pasta and enjoying the sunshine at the garden full of flowers.

Just wanted to thank you for the blogging -- thanks to you Noli got his wonderful statue back (signed), and I learned that the nice man next to me at the sinks in the mall was Arnold Arre, whose art I had been admiring a few hours earlier. (And I wished he'd introduced himself.)
anyway, good job --
all best
Neil

Wow. ^_^
i hope arnold reads his email
I was there... somewhere near the end of the line outside Gateway coz I got there 4pm since I had classes in the morning until 3:30pm. Darn... 6:30pm and I'm still outside the mall... the line moved soooo slowly, like a few feet every thirty minutes or so... I decided to go home, baka mapagalitan na eh... in short, I didn't get to meet him... waaaaah... T___T now I'm thinking that maybe I should have just skipped classes that day...
pero sana nag stay ka pa din sa line..sayang naman yung pag pila mo

grabe, for someone like THE MAN to thank you...it's not just pasta, sunshine or nice flowers...it must be an incredible cloud nine experience...
til the next event!
