“Ubas Mo Dira, Higala”: A Hugot Poem by Dolly Say

Ubas mo dira, higala!

Pupo-on unya dugmukon
Ubas diay na, mga higala
Apan pwede pog ikaw amega
Nagpuyo raman unta kas kilid
Apan ngano pang gipunit
Gidugmok pagyud bisan hunit

Way kalooy, gipugos ko nimog puga
Aron saakong katam-is ikaw magmaya
Human gipuga, gepasagdaan
Ubas diay na, mga higala
Pero pwde pog ikaw amega

Magkadugay magkalami
Sama unta sa ubas ang atong relasyon
Dili sama niini nga wa gyud nagka-uyon
Permero ra ka nagpalami
Nagkadugay nagka-wa hinoon kay lami

Mura kag ubas, pataka lag katay
Perte ka paspas wa gyuy butay
Kamang ka didto, kamang pod ka dire?
Di man unta ka sama ka lami sa ubas
Pero nganong grabe kayka ka hilas?

Wa man unta ko ge-luas
Pero nganong sa matag kaon nakog ubas
Akong kasing-kasing mura mag gihimas-himas
Ang gugma sama sa usa ka ubas
Usahay moawas kasagara muhubas

A Lost Love

Written by Mae Olandesca

Mary Rosalie Olandesca, a lover of the arts, humanities, and social sciences, found herself entangled in the realm of applied science and engineering, a path that didn't align with her true passions. Determined to break free from her "chemical engineer" title in the Philippines, she embarked on a brave journey to Toronto, fitting her life in only two suitcases. Despite completing her Chemical Laboratory Technician program at Seneca Polytechnic just recently, she realized that the chemical world failed to ignite her heart. A momentous realization led her to embrace her true calling as a writer, with a Creative Writing course acting as the catalyst for her long-time passion in wordsmithing. Thus emerged the extraordinary persona of Mae, the other side of her multifaceted identity. For more insights into Mae's captivating journey, visit her website at www.theothersideofmae.com as she is no more an average small-town girl and is now making big things happen in a megacity!
