A HUGE THANK YOU TO NATIONAL BOOK STORE!
(namely Mr. JB & Sab!!!)
Who: The international bestselling author of Anna and the French Kiss, Stephanie Perkins!When and where:
It's a bit surprising that the event in Manila was moved to Sunday. Since I started attending book signing events a couple of years ago, it's always set on a Saturday. I think I like the Saturday schedule more because it will give me a day to recuperate my strength before I go to work. :D
Stephanie arrived here in the Philippines by July 1 and after her rest and sleep (no doubt, jet lag too) she begins her day for media appointments!
Welcome to the Philippines @naturallysteph!

Thank you, Philippines, for a perfect first day! Now I'm awake early for day two, aka #StephaniePerkinsinPH media blitz. Surreal & cool. :-)

And Jenny Han, who was here last month, replied to Steph's tweet!
@naturallysteph how is it going?? don't forget to have some mango juice and get a massage!

Oh, before I forget, Stephanie went here with her husband, Jarrod Perkins! (They met when she was 17 years old!) He's the one standing beside Steph in the photo below.

After the Solar Daybreak interview, she was a guest on a live radio show! Which I totally missed, and i'm really peeved about it. ;(

GAH! Yes please!
@sarahdessen Thank you. This whole trip has been *incredible.* I'm sure @nbsalert would love to have you here! :-)

AND FINALLY! THE DAY I'LL MEET STEPHANIE PERKINS! below is a photo of her while I'm waiting for my turn. ;) She looks so pretty! I love her hair and her outfit!
When it was my turn, I asked her a not-so-appropriate question. *SPOILER ALERT*
Scroll down fast now.
.
.
.
.
I know it was implied in the book but I really wanted to clarify if Cricket is really a virgin. (Because, you know, it's not everyday I encounter a hot and very virgin book boyfriend) HAHAHAHA. There, I said it. She answered my question that YES, Cricket's a virgin. I also gave her my DIY Anna, Lola & Isla bookmarks that I hope she loves.
Anyway, look at the crowd that attended the signing!

For those who couldn't attend the event, here is the audio of Steph's interview in Glorietta!
P.S. I was late to arrive so I missed some of the questions. Sorry!
Sadly, I had to go home after the event and can't stay longer to just be in the presence of Stephanie Perkins. I always have sepanx when it comes to book signing events. -_- I hope she comes back! It was an amazing and wonderful experience to meet such a sweet author!
Manila. MANILA. You were incredible. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who came out today & thank you to all of my new friends at @nbsalert! <3
— Stephanie Perkins (@naturallysteph) July 6, 2014
ALSO, I'll post my review for ISLA AND THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER soon!
