So yes, I am currently still in half a fangirl mode.
After waiting for around an hour and standing under a slight drizzle earlier, I finally finally got to see Neil Gaiman at the 2nd Philippine Graphic and Fiction Awards at The Fort earlier. Though he didn't sign any books (except for Erik Mana's Mirrormask, who did the opening rites with a really good magic and mind reading thingy show) his short Q+A/talk was good enough, touching on how really weird stuff from the Philippines that he received ("...calamansi juice, wooden men with really big penises, and Chocnut"), on writing dark/horror stories ("...you have to believe in them") and his e-book deal. Thanks to Oscar for shooting better pics too; I met up with him earlier, so that makes two fan-err-people.
And the awarding (the winners get to shake hands and a hug from him *swoon*) made me really want to join next year. As he said, there's still a year to prepare for the next competition. :)
