There is no denying that Manny Pacquiao is the best fighter in the world. His name permanently etched in the history of boxing and sports in general as the only man who has captured the boxing belts in seven weight divisions. A feat doubted by, of all, the Filipinos themselves. But for most Filipinos, he’s the only hope that a Filipino can be the best in the world, to tower above everyone else, if he puts his sweat, blood, and soul on whatever he does.
When everything has settled, the euphoria quieted, I ask: When will they stop sending me a deluge of images of Manny Pacquiao? When can I have my normal night minus Manny singing La Bamba, Manny eating sinigang and bihon before his fight, Manny being the biggest little man in the world, Manny talking to Manny Villar on the phone, Manny playing poker, Manny kissing Jinkee, Arnel Pineda defending his rendition of the Philippine national anthem during Manny’s fight, Aling Dionisia’s prayer while Manny was exchanging punches with Clottey, Manny endorsing colored water, Manny talking about having less hairfall and avoiding dandruff, Manny using deodorant ‘apter ebri bat’, Manny sponsoring a Mass, Manny riding Air Pacquiao, Manny returning to Los Angeles with his 130-strong contingent, Manny imitating Fernando Poe Jr.’s movie punches, Manny?
When? I hope it’s going to be soon.
well, boy witty, i was expecting you’d get it. manny is not an orator, he is a pugilist. people of his profession are not expected to be adept at public speaking. hahaha.
i like him until he talks.
at tinututukan nila ito hanggang sa wala nang matira kundi pagkamanhid. sa huli, this works to the disadvantage of manny.
blame the media. 😀
kasi siyempre ang media, kung alin ang hot issue, yun ang tinututukan
i didn’t mean to. hahaha.
Thank you for exacerbating my fears. Huhu.
i was too preoccupied with my mannys that i lost sight of your manny.
your blog is going to be here until….forever. hahaha. someday, a cyberspace archeologist will run into it and he’ll write a paper about how man thought during early years of the introduction of the internet, using your posts. i’m interested to know what insights he’ll have.
as for mine, i’ll surely delete everything when time comes. see how transcendental our existence is. at least yours is assured of immortality.
Haha. I was intending to annoy you with another “Manny”. It’s good you didn’t react negatively. Haha.
I forgot about it already. I’m sad I don’t have access to it anymore. I used my official email when I created that blogspot. I’m afraid it’ll still be available on cyberspace long after I’m gone. And I can’t update it or even delete it.
I’m sure Manny is filthy rich now. You think?
sure he is. your blog is so fun to read. i’m still having dinner, and i realize your posts are a good company while i’m eating. how come you only discovered them now?
