Hanging out with Mr. Gerry Alanguilan


Yesterday, I went to Robinsons Galleria to meet up with Mr. Gerry Alanguilan. He was really cool to set aside a very very exclusive ELMER gift set. It's priceless!!! I love the whole set!!! Such an awesome idea from the Alanguilans to create that gift set!!!

When I arrived at Comic Odyssey, he wasn't there. I read from his blog that people should check the nearby restaurants or coffee shops. I didn't wait long, he arrived and we went to Red Ribbon to sit down.

He made me choose on what color I wanted and I chose blue :)

The man is a really really nice guy!!! I think he's a genius. He shared with me what he'll be doing and I promised that I wouldn't tell anyone. I'm really excited for him.

We chatted about geek stuff. Comics and TV Shows mostly. He suggested that I watch Dr. Who and Battlestar Galactica. After the holy week, I'll find the DVDs... He also mentioned Twitter and as you can see in the sidebar, I joined twitter and I love the tweets!!!

Wanted to hang out some more but I had to leave and he had to leave. He was headed to Sputnik and it's a comic shop I really want to visit. He said that there were loads of indies there and I HAVE TO CHECK THAT OUT!!!

For those reading my blog, check out www.komikero.com and try to read ELMER. Available in comic shops!!! (I'll post my review soon as Mr. Alanguilan gave his blessing for me to write about it)
