Mirage

Felt it was
Thought it was
But...it wasn't

     There but absent
     ...warm but frigid

          Unthinkable
          ...otherwise,
          it could have been

               It was there
               or so I thought
               But never was
               ...never should be

                    Everything so perfect
                    or so I thought
                    But everything
                    is nothing
                    ...but a mirage

			

			
						


	
			

			

							

			

				
About M.A.D. LIGAYA

				Teacher-Writer

M, A, and D are the initials of my two first names (Massuline and Antonio) and my mother's family name (Dupaya). Ligaya (a Filipino word which means happiness in English) is my family name. MAD is actually one of my nicknames aside from Tony and Ching.  

My full name is Massuline Antonio Dupaya Ligaya. 

Many times I was asked the question  "Why do you write?"

I don't write for material rewards nor adulation. When I write poems, stories, and essays, when I do research, seeing them completed gives me immense joy and satisfaction.  I don't write for cash incentives, "likes," and "praises." I would be thankful should I get those but the happiness and sense of fulfillment I feel when completing my works are my real rewards. 

Is teaching difficult? No!

When I teach, I don't work but I play. My educational philosophy - "The classroom is my playground, the students are my playmates, and the subject is our toy."

Proud to be me!

Proud to be a FILIPINO!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
