Neil Gaiman's box from the Philippines
[mood|

This is an excerpt taken from an entry in officialgaiman:
The box from the Philippines arrived yesterday (roughly the size and weight of a box you'd get a smallish fridge in). So much cool stuff -- art, letters, weird gifty things. I've already hung up the lightshade and put the bracelets on Maddy and eaten a bag of dried mangoes and read about twenty letters (out of a few hundred) and admired art and hung a mask on a wall... I think it will probably take several more days to go through it all. Meanwhile Jaime, Erwin and I are plotting a cool thing for the Philippines, and trying to figure out exactly what sort of shape it'll take.
>>'Tis amazingly cool!! :D Neil Gaiman actually received something from the Philippines!! And he even ate dried mangoes [which is one of the products of the country..]nyahaha! :D Amazing! A person with a mind like Neil's is like..Phwoar!...he's out of this world..! He's like a god! And to think mere Filipinos actually made contact with him and his son and his wall [see the amusing comments of those who made contact below] through those padalas! [a Filipino word meaning: something given overseas] lol! ^_~ Surreal! Not to mention seeing him in the flesh when he went here [which I didn't know until last week (only last week!), when a friend told me, which made me extremely pissed when I just found out cos I didn't get to see him..arghh!].
Though I'm still looking forward to that Meanwhile Jaime, Erwin and I are plotting a cool thing for the Philippines, and trying to figure out exactly what sort of shape it'll take
Hmmm...what could it be? :D I'm excited!!!
