Welcome to the CRAZIEST WEEK of My Life
Quick question: Do you know what it's like to give birth to twins — twins that come out almost two weeks apart? Yeah, I didn't either…until now.
Before Ever After trade paperback edition was released in the Philippines late last week and since then, life has been beyond crazy. I can't imagine how I'm going to feel when its hardcover sibling comes out in the US on August 2. (911 is on speed dial.)
I don't even know how to begin telling you this story, so I suppose I'll just have to show you. Campers, who's up for a field trip to Manila?
It's alive! (Before Ever After is available at National Book Store, Powerbooks, and Bestseller branches nationwide)
And to make things even more surreal…
Guess what was staring up at me from my Sunday paper (Philippine Star)
and featured in two of the coolest blogs on the planet: Manila Fashion Observer and Chuvaness?
And the week was just beginning.
I met with the Filipino Goodreads Group and participated in a Q&A portion about Before Ever After. The afteroon had all the ingredients of a great get-together:
Good food,
Books,
A birthday cake (with my name on it!) and…
Great new friends!
Just when I thought things couldn't get any more exciting…
…I did a live interview with DJ Vince and Tracy on Mellow 94.7′s The Wake Up Show!
Can you hear my heart pounding?
Luckily, I survived the show to pose for this photo…and to do an interview with…
…Monica of Spot.ph
And because I just love getting panic attacks, I headed over to…
…Wave 89.1 for an interview with DJ Pam
The stretcher was waiting for me outside to take me to…
An interview and photo shoot with Preview Magazine!
Can you say "deer in the headlights?"
Here's the amazing Preview Team that made the shoot so much fun: Pat, Kissa, Cathy, and Jerry.
Since it was such a shame to waste a perfectly good makeover…
I had another interview with Ron of Manila Bulletin…
and capped the day with dinner with Blooey of Sumthinblue.com
*puff* *puff*
I hope you aren't too tired. You need to save your strength for tomorrow — because you're all invited to Before Ever After's Book Birthday Party at 6PM at National Book Store, Glorietta 5. See you then!
