(Inspired by Air Supply’s “Two Less Lonely People In The World”)
Buwan sa gabi’y nakatago sa ulap
Araw sa umaga ay ayaw sumikat
Laging bigo at sa lungkot nasasadlak
Ayaw nang umasa’t dala nang mangarap
Ayaw sa kabigua’y muling malugmok
Bakit nanaising sa luha’y malunod
Mundo ko sa pag-ibig ‘di na iinog
Puso marahil ‘di na muling titibok
Ngunit nakita ka’t ako’y nginitian
Tumigil ako at kita’y pinagmasdan
Ngiti mong nagkukubli ng kalungkutan
Parang nag-aanyayang kita’y damayan
Atubili ma’t maraming agam-agam
Ngumiti rin ako’t kita’y nilapitan
Nang kamay mo’y mahigpit na hinawakan
Balikat ko’y masuyo mong sinandalan
Sa malambot mong pisngi ako’y humalik
Ang tugon mo rito’y yakap na mahigpit
Sa puso’y tumibok muli ang pag-ibig
Minithing ligaya sa wakas nakamit
Mga puso nating bihasang mabigo
Nilaro ng tadhana bago nagtagpo
Nang kita’y matagpuan saka natanto
Sa ‘yo nakalaan itong aking puso

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 too.
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!
