(Inspired by Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect”)
May gatas pa sa labi’t salat sa isip
Nang sa puso ay may damdaming gumuhit
Wala pang muwang kaya noo’y ‘di batid
Iyon pala kung tawagin ay pag-ibig
At ngayo’y aking nang naiintindihan
Kamay mo ay hindi ko na bibitawan
Pakiusap h’wag mo akong iiwanan
Pag-ibig mo ang tangi kong kayaman
Ngalan mo’y nakaguhit sa aking palad
Ika’y katuparan ng aking pangarap
Katangi-tangi ka at walang katulad
Pakiwari ko’y ‘di ako karapat-dapat
Katangi-tangi’t walang makahihigit
Marilag ka’t tunay na kaibig-ibig
Ikaw ay isang anghel galing sa langit
At ako’y alipin ng taglay mong akit
Mapalad ako’t pinili mong ibigin
At sinamahan sa daang tatahakin
Sa anomang pagsubok na haharapin
Mahigpit ka lang na humawak sa akin
Halina’t sa damuhan kita’y dadalhin
Doon hayaang mahigpit kang yakapin
Indak ng pag-ibig ay ating sayawin
Himig ng puso sabay nating awitin

About M.A.D. LIGAYA
Teacher-Writer-Advocate for Self-improvement
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!
