SOUND TRIP 2: Gugmang Giatay

Someone asked in an egroup what the title of this song is:

Oh my God,
Unsa kining gibati ko
I love my teacher,
Yes I do
Ang dughan ko daw mobuto
Mam,
Kung mosuwat ka sa blackboard
Ang akong gihuna-huna
Ang dagway mo nga matahom
h


First time I learned there was such a song
(apparently by Max Surban?)
But it struck a chord from deep within me

You see, my first ever crush was my second year high school math teacher
Her name was Miss Gladys Salido
She was soooo pretty and smart
And she was ambidextrous!
When she’s tired writing on the board with her right hand, she’d switch with her left hand
And the handwriting was the same!
Amazing.

From then on, I practiced writing with both my left and right hands.

Gugmang giatay
Bwehehehe
