Do ghost really exist? Have you ever encounter or seen a ghost? If not, would you like to? If yes, how do they look? Do they look like a human being? Are they creepy? Where did you saw it? Many questions and ideas are popping up in our head whenever we hear the word ghost. Many people are interested of ghost. Are you one of them? Cultures all over the world believe in spirits that survive death will live in another area. Ancients are the one who introduced to us the idea that dead remain with us in spirit. Ghost are defined as the soul of a dead person thought of as appearing to living people. Some people believe that ghost are spirits of dead who, for whatever reason, get lost on their way to the other side of the world. Some people says that ghost are spirits of those deaths who has incomplete missions. They say, you can see ghost anywhere - schools, roads, houses, rooms, parks and even in churches. Today, I am about to share a story that took place in our school. I will not mention the name of our school, for respect to its confidentiality. Our school was established long time ago, that means it is quite old building. It has a five floor stories with plenty of rooms. In the second floor of the building, on the last corner of the corridor, you will find the Suite Room. The suite room serve as practice room for those students who are taking hotel and management course. Its walls are white, ceiling is high and floor is clean. Upon opening the door, you will find a table and chairs, a mini kitchen filled with a little kitchen utensils, one comfort room and two simple bed rooms. It seems very comfortable place to stay, but there is a horrifying stories behind this room. There are rumors that there is ghost in Suite room. Some students and teachers believed that there is really a ghost in the said room. Some says it is a white lady, some says it a guy and some says it is a kid. According to one of our instructor, she is experiencing a weird feeling every time she is going in the suite room. It never fails to give her goose-bump every time she is in there. She shared the story that she had experienced twice, after a tons of work, she felt that she needs to use the comfort room and decided to use the comfort room in the suite room. When she is about to bring-down her skirt, she heard a guy whistled, she immediately felt scared because she didn’t see anybody in there so she practically flew out of the room. Another story from students, they admitted that they experienced many times the extraordinary things in the said room. One time, while they are are unwinding, they hear some footsteps inside the suite room but they found out that no one is there. Second time, one of the students is taking some selfies and afterwards, she put her mobile phone on the table. Suddenly, the camera of her mobile phone continue clicking some picture by itself. Third time, they are about to do their project but they heard some bounce of ball inside room. They tried to ignore it, but it is getting creepier and creepier that’s why they run out of the room and scream in fright. Even when you are just to passing by in that room, there are also some chances that you might hear creepy noise inside the room like throwing objects and you might also see the rumored ghost looking between the doors. According to www.bibleinfo.com, bible says that ghost are real, but they are not spirit of dead human. They are fallen angels trying to deceive us. It is in the bible, 1 John 4:14, King of James Version. “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirit, whether they are of God… You are of God, little children, you have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. We do not have to be afraid of Satan and his impersonations of the living and dead (ghost), as long as we give our whole hearts to Jesus and obey Him by faith: He will guide and protect us. However, not everyone believe in the ghost, especially those people who are fan of science. Are you curious about what the scientist says about the ghost? Here are some famous people who has a comment about ghost: John Ferrier, a physician, says that sighting of ghost are the result of optical illusions. Alexandre Jacques, a french physician, says that sighting of ghost are hallucinations. Joel Nickell of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry wrote that there was no credible scientific evidence that any location was inhabited by spirits of dead. According to www.livescience.com, limitations of human perception and ordinary physical explanations can account for ghost sightings: for example, air pressure changes in home causing slam doors shut or lights from a passing car reflected through a window at night might thought for a ghost figure. It is indeed mysterious, isn’t it? What do you think about this rumor in suite room? It is true or fake? The choice is yours. Just always remember what Ryan Eigenmaan said on his TV show Misteryo, there are some things that are inexplicable, that’s why we should not believe in rumor stories, you need to prove it by yourself. Open your eyes, sharpen you hearing and enhance your mind because the world is full of mysteries.

9 Benefits of Milk That You Should Know Milk is an essential part of our diet. We start drinking it when we're young, but as we grow older, our consumption decreases.

What the Pandemic taught me I am not used to this. I enjoy being with friends, with companionships. I like being with the crowd, enjoying the whole time with other people. Those were my happy place, my comfort. And then this pandemic strike. I was blown away from the circle of a lot of people to isolation. Quarantine happened, we were kept at our own houses for safety. At first, for me it was a jail. And I am dying to go outside. But then, one day I wake up. Smiling, being happy and enjoying my own company. This supposed to be a jail of mine made me realize something. That all throughout I was seeking for happiness and comfort from other people. That I think they’re the only who can provide me of what I lack of. Not realizing I can find peace within myself. Not realizing I can do anything just by being alone. Before, I thought I can’t do it, but then I realized I can. It made me stronger, it made me do things that I think I have no capability of. And as ellen burtysn says, “What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.” I think I can finally agree to that too. Now that I have experienced to be alone, I realized that I actually love being alone or should I say - I’d rather be alone than be with people who make me feel alone, and I felt more free the more I spent with myself, as If I had nothing to restrain and i can enjoy anything without the fear of being judged. I realize that the only person I really need to impress is myself. My own approval is all that matters. I no longer feel the need to please others and gain their praise; how I feel about myself is enough. I finally understand that being alone is not equivalent to loneliness. Being alone comforts me and allows me to reflect on the things I did. To all the decisions I am regretting and all the things I am grateful for. Being alone makes me feel at ease. And when I'm alone, I just let my emotions flow and come out.

Motivation in the midst of uncertainty I'm sitting in my chair, gazing aimlessly at my laptop once more. As they have been for several days, my ears only wanted to hear the deafening silence. I'm puzzled as to why this has suddenly become my life. Nobody ever told me, and I never imagined life could be this miserable. It seems like just yesterday when I was playing and having fun as a little kid at home. Back then, it didn't seem that there were any bad days. I think about and reminisce about the naive joys of life now and then. I wish I had snatched my childhood memories with both hands instead of letting them slip away like a thief in the night. I understand that I am still young and that I know much too little about life, but there is still so much to explore and learn. And I'm not sure why I'm experiencing these emotions. I am worried about my future, I am not confident with myself, I have lost my will to live, and there’s a lot more inside my head. Some may argue that these are just common concern that we face on a daily basis. However, we are unique individuals with distinct characteristics. It is possible that what is difficult for me is easy for you, and vice versa. Nevertheless, in times like this, I just want to give up and vanish so I don't have to deal with it anymore. But I was reminded that "Life is essentially an endless series of problems. The solution to one problem is merely the creation of another." Mark Manson said that in his book entitled The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, which I have read recently. Hence, I will not allow this challenge of life to defeat me. In our lives, we may not like and understand, but we are all confronted with situations and circumstances. And I believe that there's a reason why we go through different kinds of trials in our lives as humans. It's possible that this is a part of life to shape us and to make us stronger and braver. And thinking about the people I love who also are there for me, gives me some comfort and consolation to know that I am not alone in my struggle. Having them beside me is enough. I’m not asking them to help me because this is a battle mine and the only person who can help me is no one but myself. Ultimately, I am well aware that I repeat these words over and over again. Some people may already be irritated by my reiteration of all of these points, But I will keep telling these things to convince myself that I can, I will and I must win this battle. I know you can do it too. You should fight too.

Safe haven Everyone has a safe haven to escape to when life gets too much. It is the nature for me. Nature calms me in a way that no other has. I love how my skin is blazing warm from the sun as it gently brushes my skin. The sky is a stunning blue landscape with incredible clouds. The clouds are big, foamy objects that float through the infinite sky. They come in a variety of sizes, which adds to the fun. Then, as I sit in the grass, I feel how dry or moist it is against my body. The sound of birds singing and chirping together as if they are producing a song. And the trees are waving their leaves in the light breeze that is blowing down through them. Oh how I wish I could stay here forever.

Negative Effects of Smoking Cigarettes Have you ever hang out with people who smoke cigarette? Or you are one of those people who smoke? Just take a look around you. Parks, buildings, beaches, houses, malls and in every corner of the street, there is one thing you will certainly observe: cigarette smokers are everywhere. Just imagine this scenario. Wherever he is, he would shove a cigarette into his mouth. Then light up the match. As the wood burns away, he will light the end of the cigarette. And slowly sip through it. Inhale and exhale. Taking his breath away and replacing it with smoke was his favorite part. He really got into this habit. Ignoring all the people he offended. Pretending that he is unaware just to satisfy his craving for smoking. Don't really care if he is causing other people to constantly hold their breath and face away from the smoky air. How unpleasant, isn't it? Cigarettes contains nicotine, a highly addictive drug that makes it difficult for smokers to kick the habit. But I hope telling you some facts about the effects of smoking cigarettes would help you to quit with this harmful habit. According to the world health organization, 6 million adults around the world die from tobacco-related causes every year. And by 2030, experts caution we'll lose 8 million lives annually if we don't reduce our consumption. With numbers like that, there aren't many of us who don't know someone, be it family member or friend who has been affected of smoking. Smoking-related diseases can snatch our beloved family members and friends away from us at an alarming rate. And even if you do not smoke yet mingle with smokers, you will also be at risk of several diseases. And if you think that being a non-smoker will make you safe from suffering the negative effects of smoking, then you are very wrong. In fact, just being around by the smokers can also damage your health same as the smokers. This is what we called second-hand smoker. And believe it or not, 600,000 non-smokers die each year from exposure to second-hand smoke. Everyone knows that it is bad for our health, but most people dont know that the effects of smoking are mostly permanent. They think that they can smoke for a few years and then quit without suffering any long-term effects. People must know that some organs in the body will never recover fully from the damage the smoke has done. Some of the damage consist of the respiratory system, heart, eyes, mouth and even the urinary and digestive organs. And the most evident is causing you to have yellowing of the teeth and bad breath. And according to American lung association, the U.S. Surgeon general officially confirmed by 1964 that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer. And they also learned in the 50 plus years that followed that smoking is responsible for a heap of other awful diseases. "Here are some health consequences of smoking you might not have heard before. 1. Going blind - smoking increases your risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in adults over the age of 65. 2. Type 2 diabetes - smoking contributes to type 2 diabetes and increases the risk of complications from the disease including poor blood flow to legs and feet. This can lead to infection and result in the need to amputate a limb. Yepyou could lose your foot or leg! 3. Erectile dysfunction - male sexual function is affected when you smoke. Tobacco causes narrowing of blood vessels all over your body, including those that supply blood to the penis. Good news is that quitting will make a big difference. 4. Ectopic pregnancy - ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening reproductive complication in women that is more likely in smokers. It occurs when a fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus. The egg cant survive and it puts mom's life at serious risk. 5. Hip fractures - smokers lose bone density at a faster rate than non-smokers which puts you at risk for breaking body parts like your hip. Putting down the cigarettes can help slow down this process and keep you breaking a sweat, not your bones, on the dance floor. 6. Colorectal cancer - colorectal cancer, which forms in your intestines (colon or rectum), is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the united states. One of the reasons? Yup, cigarette smoking. Smoking is linked to an increased risk of developing and dying from this type of cancer. 7. Rheumatoid arthritis - rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease more common in women that affects the joints in your hands and feet. It causes painful swelling that can eventually result in bone loss and joint deformity. Smoking is one of the causes, and is also associated with developing the disease at an earlier age. 8. Cleft lip and cleft palate - these birth defects, commonly called orofacial clefts, occur when a babys lip or mouth doesn't develop properly during pregnancy. Women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to have babies with orofacial clefts. 9. Fertility issues - moms-to-be take note: smoking can affect your ability to conceive. It causes reduced fertility in women and can contribute to other problems during pregnancy. 10. Gum disease - as if potentially losing a limb isnt enough (see #2), you also risk losing your teeth from smoking. Smoking contributes to periodontisa gum infection that destroys the bone that supports the teeth. It is a major cause of tooth loss in adults." Oh my friend, it's all so clear. Smoking cigarettes does not make you look cool." Unfortunately, it is like making and signing a contract with fate. The temporary satisfaction of smoking is leading you to a very early and untimely end of your happiness. It's solely a great way to lose ten years of your life. You lose lots of money, and a lifetime of health issues. Indeed, smoking shows no boundaries. We all need to play a role to stop the harmful effects of smoking cigarettes. Although it can be a very difficult habit to break, smoking is ultimately a choice; it is your responsibility to choose whether or not you will continue to smoke. Be wise enough to choose a right choice.
