An appeal to Manny Pacquiao

May 30, 2009

I have long wanted to find a way to get through to Manny Pacquiao. Hopefully, he’s into blogging as much as he is into boxing or he has friends who are into reading anything that’s written on, about or to him. Anyway, here goes… Brace yourself, this is gonna get… mushy? cheezy? or just downright nakakahiya?

Hey, it’s my blog! Make your own and write only the things you would want to read.

Manny, my family and I have long been fans of yours. My uncle and my grandfather (God bless his soul) have been following your career since your amateur blow by blow days (or was it go for gold, geez it’s been that long I can’t even remember) and they have predicted as early as back then that you have a great future in boxing. Boy, can they give Madam Auring a run for her crystal ball! You did not only turn out to be a great boxer, you have re-written the history of boxing!

Fast forward to today… here you are a multi-billionaire and here I am hoping you could be my “Oprah” and grant a few of my life-long wishes. To say that I’m appealing to your generosity and innate kindness, short of asking for a balato, would be a nice way of putting it. Waaaahhhh desperado?!  Baket ba, walang basagan ng trip!

After all, my life-long wishes would not even cause a small hole in your overflowing pockets. Tsaka alam ko mabait ka naman talaga, so pa-share naman sa kabaitan mo kahit di ako botante ng Saranggani. If I could and if that’s what’s needed, I’d vote there.    But seriously, Manny you don’t need to be elected into any office to continue doing all the charity and development work that you have started. You are Manny Pacquiao, the name alone commands respect, draws power and elicits obedience.

Anyway, I’m digressing… going back to the selfish purpose of this blog entry.

I just want to have our house renovated to include a second floor with a balcony and roof deck, a lot of windows and sliding doors that let air and light in (the house now is kinda dark and dreary), have a simple bath tub (ni hindi nga jacuzzi) where I can rest and relax after a long day of stringing English words together for web content and article re-writes and have an interior decorator fix the place up. Yun lang naman… I don’t think it will cost you a million.  Mahal pa yung chandelier na binili ni Jinkee for one of your houses in the US.

A van for my family would also be very much appreciated. Sub-compact lang kasi yung kotse namin to save on gas. Kaso hindi naman kami kasya lahat. A Crosswind or Nissan Grand Livina would be perfect.

On a more personal note, can you hire me? If ever you do get elected, I can write your speeches for you. Press releases and official statements would not be a problem. I don’t even have to relocate to Saranggani because almost everything now can be done online. Telecommuting is the way to work these days.

I studied law for 4 years (of a 5-year program) so I can work well with your lawyer. I can also help out in running your business, especially in the administrative, sales and marketing, public relations or customer service aspects. I can be a speaker for your seminars or a trainer for your employees. Hell, I can even be your stylist or personal shopper. Just give me a loaded credit card and I can dress you to look like any movie star. Brad Pitt and Hugh Jackmann being my personal favorites.

So how about it, Manny? Will you make a simple girl’s life-long wishes come true? You’re already married to Jinkee, these things are just scraping the barrel.
