star light star bright first start i see tonight, wish i make wish i might have my wish come true tonight.. did i get that right? I can’t remember the exact lines, but why am i rambling about stars and wishes, actually i am try to get to that and blog about stars..

a couple of weeks back, as my friend and I was going home, I saw something glittering in the sky, i thought it was a plane preparing to land but no it was a star. I gasp in a dramatic kind of way ( as my friend told me ) and exclaimed

me: ” A Star! , It’s a real star.. I finally saw a star! ”

friend: yeah it is.. *laughing at me*

me: I know, is it the north star?

friend: I don’t know but its a star..

hey, am not exaggerating here, that was really my reaction. after 2 years of living in japan, i could actually say that it was the first star I have seen. then i remember my japanese friend asking me one time if i could see the stars at night in my country, and i said yes.. lots and lots of star.. constellation of stars. I used to do constellation hunting when i was a kid, naming the constellation i could find, i could name them all back then, but now i could probably only name at least 4 or 5.. pathetic really, as I learn more, i learn less.

I asked my friend why, and the answer was the city lights are too bright as if competing with brightness of the sky.. creating a whole new constellation on land. A constellation constantly changing, a constellations without a name .. but hey maybe we can start naming them

as my city starts to progress, stars are slowly emerging, who knows how long the lights of heaven will start to fade, but then i could always climb a mountain and enjoy star gazing and do my constellation hunting again..

and so i wish , I wish to see big dipper again
