Yehey!

July 18, 2007

Yesterday's book launch at the CCP was a success. Thank you, God.

I'd like to share some pictures.

This year's National Children's Book Day's theme is "Basa Tayo, 'Tay."

That's Manolo Silayan, a pioneer of Alitaptap Storytellers Philippines, sharing a story with the guests. Yep, he's the brother of the late actress, Chat Silayan.

My babies on display.

Among the PBBY guests were:

CCP Artistic Director Nanding Josef. If he looks familiar to you, that's because he is also a stage and movie actor.

Critic, columnist, and book writer Butch Dalisay.

Yes, that's Magsaysay awardee Cecile Guidote-Alvarez, choosing which book to take home, I guess lol. She ended up taking home a set of my babies–all twelve of them

After the event, my friends and I headed to Gerry's Grill in Harbour Square for lunch.

Dami yummy food

Ganda rin ng view.

Smile lang ng smile, GOO, OJ and Acey, heheh.

Looks like Panch, Ateneo professor and an award-winning illustrator, is having a great time. Beside her is her friend, Marvin, a designer.

Wait, hinahanap ninyo ako 'no? Aminin! heheh

Shy ako ipakita ang mga pictures ko kasi may pimples ako eh lol.

Pero sige, pagbibigyan ko kayo .

Ayan ako heheh, with Eugene na meron ng walong Palanca Awards: Wil, a U.P. professor of children's literature, and Genaro, another Palanca awardee.

I would like to thank the people who have worked with me in the past few days, kahit nakakapagod. I would also like to thank the people who have prayed for me and wished me luck. Maraming salamat po! I am now preparing for another book launch in August, hopefully it will coincide with the Manila International Bookfair.
