Instead of sulking, I got on the car and went to SMX as early as 1, grabbed 2 copies of Lourd's book and endured the long line with fellow fanatics while carrying my daughter, with all of her tantrums, just to give my sister at least a consolation for her badly celebrated birthday...

Took me a while to find Summit Publishing's booth and what we found there was Papa Jack himself fr Love Radio... I had no idea he had already published a book but all of us at home liked his program so I had an impulse buy and got a copy of his book and got it signed as well... hehe talk about bonus!


After this I was out for a stroll and I found interesting books, some of which are filipino editions of famous books like Hunger Games Trilogy, Harry Potter, Fifty shades of Grey and lots more, and a lot of them are priced ridiculously low... HEAVEN!!!
But what took me to cloud 9 was actually seeing in person this ridiculously brilliant witty and sometimes satiric writer, and he had me rendered speechless actually. Lourd was hanging out at the front of Summit's booth, the book signing not yet starting and as I neared I had mind block and did not know what to say, so I went past him instead and after collecting myself I had babbled to him about how I got my copy of his Crazy planets signed and how he inspired me to actually know the current events in the Phils...yep. ganun ako ka bored sa araling panlipunan before pichi introduced me to this guy.
Mr Lourd H. De Veyra himself. He actually asked a few people to take a shot of his cocktail (vodka + soda I think). If he asked me to take a shot at it, I would've taken it, sat down with him and talked on about his opinions on everything under the sun with pichi... hay that would be the day :)

And here's the goonish but super sweet  mr. Jun Sabayton entertaining the crowd with his crazy antics, cool stories and witty interviews with the audience. I personally think that he too is a great philosopher cause most of those who have a comedic persona have something deep within their souls...

With one of the best Filipino directors, Mr. R. A. Rivera himself :)
It would've been the best day ever if I got to spend it with my sister...
PS: Kat, maski si Lourd nagtatanong...
