It is only on a truly dark night that one can see the stars. I whisper this to myself as I marvel at the picturesque sight. Imagine this: I sit on the ragged edge of a bright yellow-green giant rice terraced paddy in Banaue, located at a rising altitude of 5,000 feet above sea level.

It is only on a truly dark night that one can see the stars. I whisper this to myself as I marvel at the picturesque sight. Imagine this: I sit on the ragged edge of a bright yellow-green giant rice terraced paddy in Banaue, located at a rising altitude of 5,000 feet above sea level. I am cradled in the embrace of ethereal clouds above that serve as soft pillows and blankets. The crisp mountain air incites an exhilarating surge. My friends and I share tapuy (sweet native rice wine) as we begin to identify the constellations one by one. The night gets deeper, the hooting of the owls and symphony of the cicadas become even more enchanting. This is total bliss.
