There are two things I love most about our planet: sunsets and moonlit nights. I love to watch the sunset from the shores of English Bay, Stanley Park, or from the nudist beach called Wreck Beach, which is just below the campus of the University of British Columbia. On moonlit nights, I usually stroll in a park or by a lake, and sometimes, to have time with my thoughts, I drive to an empty soccer field, lie down on the hood of my suv and watch the full moon. And there, I would reminisce the sunsets and moonlit nights that I had witnessed long ago, in the Bicol region of the Philippines.
