Christmas Angel and Manny Pacquiao

Dear insansapinas,



I took my nap today. Hardly have I  closed my eyes when I heard a greeting.


Angel: Hello
Me: Hello, who are you?
Angel: I am an angel.
Me: Really? Where’s your wings?
Angel: I still have to earn it?
Me: You are not one of those Seraphims, Querubims. Etc?
Angel: Nope. I came thru lateral entry, did probie thing and now I got promoted.
Me: That explains why there are no bells ringing, wind whoosing and fragrance that must have come from motion-activated essence dispenser.
Angel: I am still new about this. Like new here.
I belong to non-holy-turned-heavenly-body-by-dispensation.
Me: You must have some clout or I-know-somebody-up-there
Angel: No, I am still in the got-to-do-a-good-deed to get promoted and have my white feather tucked in my back.


Me: Where's the Boss.


Angel: Oh He's busy right now. It is His Season, as if you do not know.


Me: Oh yeah, so He sent a messenger.


Angel: Right on. So how may we help you.


Me: I read that He talked to Manny Pacquiao, the boxer of the decade.


Here is the story:

For the first time, the Philippines’ most famous athlete and the world’s pound-for-pound boxing king has revealed the secret of his success: He had a conversation with God who promised him “strength and power.”


“In my 31 years here on earth, God appeared to me once and told me to have unconditional faith in Him,” the seven-time ring champion said in the vernacular before 1,500 guests during his birthday bash on Thursday night at the KCC Convention Center here.

Angel:  That is not a new syndrome suffered by people who join politics. Everyone claimed that they were anointed by God to lead the country. His is a diferent version. Clearly it came from the political think tanks.


Me: But this is not about his political career. So you are telling me that the Boss does not perform miracle thru apparition.


Angel: I am not saying that. (he looked up to see if someone is looking down on him). People who claimed that they have a special relationship with God can never go wrong or commit wrongdoing. We always associate religiosity to moral righteousness. 

I would have believed if he did not enter politics.


Me: Why is it so? 
Angel: Well, the public relations agency can spin character out of a person. They can make him a saint, a cook (did yon not see Gibo cooking with Jessica Soho?), a millionaire turned pedicab driver etc.  Anymore question? 


Me: So who is going to win? 

Angel: I do not want to tell you. I am still earning my wings.

Me: What has to do with that with my question?

Angel: You are puting me in the league of Madam Auring and other psychics who promised every politician that they are going to win the election.

Pffffffff.

And then he's gone.

sigh, hoy manny, gumising ka, alam namin magaling ka sa boxing,pero di tanga ang mga tao na maniniwala sayo sa mga ganyang ka ek ekan mo hmpt!
paiinitin mo lang ulo ng tao,sinung ineexpect mong maniwala?
mga gaya mong aspiring politicians?
gaya ka din ng ibang
maruruming politicians na ginagamit ang ngalan ng lumikha
magmukha ka lang banal,
wala na bang ibang gimmik ang mga ito aside from gamitin
sa mga marurumi nilang activities ang pangalan ng lumikha?
nag iinit ang ulo ko sa de puger na packman na to.

cathy said...

lee,
sa atin naman, bigyan mo lang ng envelop ang media ayos.

Lee said...

kung sabagay mam, yan ngang envelope na yan ang talagang bread and butter nila at di naman yung sweldo, ehem, bakit nga ba di ako nag journalist at naging reporter ng mga celebrity?
sana marami
nakong naharbat na (pekeng) LV galing sa babaing naka belo,
o kaya yung mga (lumang)LV na
pinapa rafle ni gretchen para lang may article na kapalit hmm!

Lee said...

mam, rerespetuhin pa sya ng tao kung tutulong nalang sya (ng walang kapalit) kahit di sya tumakbo sa pulitika,kaso
natikman na nya sarap ng buhay e, kelangan n ya imenteyn at
politics lang ang makakapagbigay sa kanya ng ganung ginhawa/pera/power.

Lee said...

mam, magdadala ko ng K9 para maamoy kung nasa bahay ka o wala nyahahaha

cathy said...

lee,
pero sa envelop na yon nakasalalay ang successng artista. Pag walang envelop, wala rin silang mga Praise Release. Walang magtatanggol.

Minsan ginagamit na pangpressure para mapilitan ang mga artistang magbayad.

cathy said...
