Before we achieve big things in life, we have to start small first. However, sometimes, we tend to forget these little things. We tend to forget their importance. Thus, we wonder why our dreams are not fulfilled. This contemporary poetry collection by Teo T. Antonio delves deeper into the small things that matter and how they significantly impact our lives in some way.

Tagalog is an Austronesian language. It is the language of Manila and the surrounding provinces of Bataan, Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite Laguna, Quezon, Batangas, and Marinduque. It is also spoken widely throughout the Philippines as a second language, with an estimated sixty percent of the population now being able to communicate in this language. Tagalog is the basis of the Philippine national language, Pilipino, and as such is taught in schools throughout the country. In addition to the lessons in this text, there are extensive notes to the teacher, supplementary vocabulary lists, pronunciation drills, and songs.

After makuha ang diploma, ano na? OK lang na pagkagraduate ay bumawi ka muna sa tulog (from your many sleepless nights kakatapos ng requirements) pero wag maiwang natutulog sa pansitan. Young person, welcome to the real world of getting no more allowance and paying your own bills! Eto na ang moment mo to shine. Prove to yourself and to others na kaya mo nang tumayo sa sarili mong mga paa. And with God by your side, who knows kung gaano kalayo ang mararating mo?

'If not now, when?' Hillel, Pirke Avot, I 14. The text edition which I hereby submit to the reader has been my constant companion for much of the last nine odd years. But the relative stability of my main preoccupation contrasted sharply with my wanderings during this same span of time. In fact, for most of it I was more or less constantly on the move, trekking from the Nether lands to Australia and back again, then to the United States, with three excursioru; to Indonesia. On all these trips I carried my notes and kept working on this project, the conclusion of which continued to elude me. Even today I can hardly believe it is allover - and in fact it is not, as this volume will soon be followed by a companion containing a shortened English translation and dealing in much greater detail with the relationship between the Malay Hikayat Muhammad Hanafiyyah, its Persian source and Muslim literature in general. I sincerely regret that technical and financial considerations have combined to make inclusion of the apparatus criticus in this edition impossible. A limited number of copies of this apparatus are avail able on personal application either direct from the author (C/o the Indonesian Department, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria 3168, Australia), or from the Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde, Stationsplein 10, Leiden, the Netherlands.
