(Inspired by Bruno Mar’s “When I was Your Man”)
Kamang higaan ko biglaang lumuwag
Walang katabi’t sa aki’y yumayakap
Kanta natin noon na dulot ay galak
Kapag ngayon nadinig ako’y naiiyak
Kapag pangalan mo’y aking nadidinig
Magugunita naglaho mong pagibig
Walang magagawa kundi ang pumikit
Luha’y aagos magsisikip ang dibdib
Kung yakap sa iyo’y aking hinigpitan
Kung panahon ko sa iyo’y inilaan
Kung ng bulaklak kita ay hinandugan
Baka sakaling ako’y ‘di mo iniwan
Nakalimutang kita’y pahalagaan
Pinabayaa’t hinayaang masaktan
Hinayaang magdusa’t mata’y luhaan
Kaya’t nagpasya ka na ako’y iwanan
Nang mawala ka kita’y pilit hinanap
Ninais kong sa iyo’y magpaliwanag
Nanalanging hindi pa huli ang lahat
Tanggapin muli ako at mapatawad
Sa pasyalan natin kita’y pinuntahan
Nagbakasaling kita’y matagpuan
Sa nasumpungan labis akong nasaktan
Yakap ka ng iba’t masuyong hinahagkan

About M.A.D. LIGAYA
Teacher-Writer-Lifelong Learner
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, the process of creating them gives me immense joy and seeing them completed brings me great 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 get while doing them and 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."
I am a lifelong learner.
My daily goal is to be better than I was yesterday. It's difficult, but it's worth the try. It's not for what I get from doing it but for what I become.
Proud to be me!
Proud to be a FILIPINO!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
