beyond this night sky

In between 15 and 25, we will inevitably have those nites.. when we dream, and dream we did. staring at the vast nite sky.. with thoughts countless as stars. wondering where will I be tomorrow? and who will stand right here by my side? and what of this friendship? what of this love? if only I know which voice to follow, if only I know which hand to hold, if only I know which path to take. but does anyone really know? don't they wonder.. what lies beyond this night sky? are they dreaming fairy tale? are they planning family tale? and that's why we loved to stay awake at night, when all the adults have put their wild thought to sleep, while we gleefully awaited dawn.

Suka Duka berbisnis di Indo

My friend just forwarded me an email from a company she engaged to buy a freezer for her baking business start up in Jakarta. Well.. seriously.. Indo.. what a jungle! And before you read the below, rather long, email.. do bear in mind that this company has this motto: Fast & Reliable! Dear Ibu xxxxxx, Sebelumnya kami mohon maaf atas keterlambatan reply kami.

Pre-Loved

We see this terms a lot nowadays on fb. People are selling, in layman terms, second hand apparels and accessories by calling them pre-loved bags, wallets, etc. First of all.. if prewar means before war, then preloved must mean before love right? But it doesn't make sense. Of course it probably is shortened from the words 'previously loved'. But I wonder does it make us feel better then, to buy a 'previously loved but now unloved' item compares to a 'previously used but now unused' item. So far most of the items that are marketed with 'pre-loved' tag are targeted for ladies. Maybe that's why I don't get it. I would have called them 'second chance' items probably.
