After the storm had passed last week, aside from the usual damages to our trees, the only downside was the blackout in the entire city. It was okay though, because there was no work the next day and I get to have one of those few rare moments where I’m able to hangout on our roof top and enjoy the brilliance of the stars and moon. I call this moon bathing.

Thanks to the blackout, the stars that night were shining more radiantly than usual – literally looking like loose diamonds that you can easily pick out one by one.

I remember in our previous house/condo where I had to share my room with my sisters; during my I-need-space times, I found refuge in the condo’s rooftop at night. It became my place of solitude. Now that I have my own room, basking in the moon and stars glory has been very rare for me. I should do that more often. It’s very uplifting.
