Imaginary Sky Man

“William wait me” I shouted him because I left behind.
“can you move faster Mrs. snail?” said William
He was my best friend in my Senior High School. We used to spend time together. We loved to see sunset at the roof. I thought he was a good boy. He ever said to me when I was going to tear “don’t show your weakness Miara, keep smile even if you have to pretend fine.”
We used to be together, as I said before. We loved shooting stars, shore those dreams and talked anything. He also knew about me well, include of my fans fiction that I had_Sky Man. I liked this philosophy too. “skies are above us. The color is blue and cheerful. Skies are the place to take dream for some kids. Skies protect us and the earth. And my Sky Man specially protect me” I told William. But he answered, “but sky is high. You are unable to reach him”. I became gloomy with his statement. But he laughed me and we laughed together.
Lately I realized his words. William was true. My imaginary sky man, unable to be reached.
By the running of the time I depend on him. I relied on him in every condition. At that time I thought that he was my Sky Man. Helped and protected me always.
Lately I knew that he was not my Sky Man who I amazed so much. He was not.
We spent almost a thousand days together and this relation was going to shabby. There was a day of them became my memorable. It was Friday after school when I walked to him and smiled but he seemed didn’t care my presence. At that day I was going to home alone. Then I got a short message.
I have to live without you. Everybody ever feel the point of bore.

Simply he told me that. At the following day I knew him held on the hand of a girl and never played or talked with me again. In that day, I cried.
I didn’t know what exactly I felt. Something was missing without his laugh and presence. But I should be grateful. I knew who the real William Hakim was.
“how many special people change?
how many live are living strange?
where were you while we were getting high”
everybody had troubles, everybody deserved to make a wish. When everything was gonna turn out worst. When your condition was totally ruined. I guessed you were afraid to wish. And here I was. Lonely at the roof and watching the sky when it turned dusk. Here I used to spend this moment with Wiliam. I had passed some weather. No played the snow in the winter. No cycling when the spring came without him. For God’s sake I would not cry again. Sometimes memorable thing make us weak. I heard voice buzzed out of my head “don’t show your weakness Miara. Keep smile even if you have to pretend fine.” Well that wasn’t William voice. Wasn’t. but that was my voice. Mine.
Now I realize that someone who can assure that you are totally fine is your self. Not other, not William. They are humans ever make mistake or sometimes hurt.
I watched outside the window. It was summer. I glanced the sky turned dusk. There were 3 star seemed vague. But I knew it was summer triangle spread over on the beautiful sky. Or on might imaginary sky man.
William could leave. Anyone could leave. But my Sky Man was never.
Here, I kept a bunch of belief. He was there_Sky Man. In every nook and cranny of my heart.

Twitter Vine users fall after Instagram video launch

nstagram's new video-sharing tool has had a big effect on Twitter's Vine service, analysis shows.
The number of links to Vine videos on social networks fell by nearly half a million the day after video was added to Instagram's photo app on 20 June.
But an extra 300,000 Instagram links were shared, according to data analytics tool Topsy.
A week later, there were 50% more Instagram than Vine links being shared on the net, Topsy figures show.
On 27 June, data indicates, there were 1,562,022 mentions of Instagram and 935,109 mentions of Vine.
Topsy says its figures include retweets and links but not spam.
"Instagram hasn't actually seen a huge uptick in Twitter sharing since its video launch," wrote Matt McGee, editor of Marketing Land.
"The number of shares over the past few days is similar to early and mid-June. But Vine sharing is way down in the last week."
Twitter launched its video-sharing platform in January 2013. Users are able to upload and share six-second long clips which play in a loop.
Videos shared via Facebook-owned Instagram can be up to 15 seconds long and filters can be added to change the colouring.

Twitter declined to comment.

Blackberry shares plunge after $84m first-quarter loss

Shares in smartphone maker Blackberry have dived after it reported an $84m (£55m) loss for the three months to 1 June.
The figure was better than the $518m loss for the same period last year, but much worse than analysts' forecasts.
The Ontario, Canada-based company also announced it will post an operating loss for the next quarter running to September.
Blackberry shares fell more than 28% in early trading in New York.
Shipments of new smartphones increased, but Blackberry did not release how many of new handsets running the BB10 operating system were sold in the quarter.
Analysts had been particularly keen to see the numbers for the new Z10 handset, as it was the first full quarter that the handset had been on sale in the United States.
Blackberry launched two all-new smartphones this year, the touch screen Z10 device, followed by the Q10, with a mini keyboard favoured by many Blackberry users.
Blackberry only said that it had shipped 6.8 million phones overall in its first quarter versus 7.8 million in the same three-month period last year.
"It doesn't bode well for the initial Blackberry 10 launch, particularly the Z10. But even the outlook for a second quarter loss doesn't bode well for the Q10 either," said Brian Colello, an analyst with Morningstar.
Blackberry has been battling against stiff competition in the smartphone sector, and has struggled to compete with the likes of Apple and Samsung.

Blackberry used to be called Research in Motion, but changed it trading name back in January.

A Never Die Hero

A teacher is a hero
Without a strings attached
They are candles in the dark
We could have an open mind because the strands of a teacher
Our souls can be wide because the advice of a teacher
They are heroes in a world
They are simple and promising calmness
Always be water in the desert
Always be a light in the middle of the night
We all need you
We will not be able to change the world without you
Our kids are poisoned without you
The teacher is a guide
They are a symbol of resurrection
They are a basic for education

Teachers are heroes

A Deep Meaning of Friendship

Friendship is like the two rings that have different shapes
But can be combined with a very strong sense
Friendship is just a word
But it has a deep meaning
We'll feel it when actually find
A continued friend in a life
Friendship has always been an oasis when we experience sadness
Friendship is always a joy to be complementary
A day without friends is very strange
Months without friends are very painful
True friends will always be missed
Talks will continue to be memorable
Easy to get a rich friend
But hard getting a forever friend

Because a true friend is not for a reason
