If you want to enjoy yourself in the exciting people lines or learn the unique culture of the countries through the festivals, you should make a plan for the festival from today.

Do You Believe We Have an Afterlife (Reincarnation)?

In different religions, many people believe after we die, we will go heaven or hell. Most people of Buddhism fall into two categories accepted. Generally accepts: people believe that after death the soul still exists, go to the hell to be eternal punishment or go to heaven blessed forever. In this case, they are accidentally accepted the afterlife. Segment accepts: people believe that after death is the end, everything means nothing.
On the contrary, that Christianity is the concept that there is no past life and the afterlife. People live in this life and after death. One is going to heaven if you live well; otherwise, your only road is going to go the hell alone. Christianity is not "early pregnancy “. For some reasons, if you do not agree, you please to ignore it. Scientists and experts have fought psychological research is a system of life rebirth for a long time to analyze the light of the nature of scientific problems. But they still cannot prove some weird phenomena that happened or will happen surrounding us. Sometimes they believe it or not. Some people said that they saw the past and future. How do the prophets predict something that will happen in the future? Do you believe something that you see in your life?
I have my own opinion is do not believe something that we think it does not exist, look at the fact that we live in the current world. You must believe in your heart. The time will tell us that a past life or no life beyond.

What Is The Doomsday?

Is the end of the world we will come to in 2012?
I have heard much information about it. Some people said that the meteorites would hit the earth in 2012. In additional, Maya is famous for wisdom in the field of mathematics and astronomy. Which is based on the columns of the Mayan calendar, the archaeologists found in Mexico, the Mayans have calculated and construction schedule for a total of 5126 years? The Mayan’s Calendar says our world will be ended at 10 am on 21 May 2012.. People have many questions about this event, but they cannot receive any answer. Do you believe this event that will be happened? I definitely don’t believe it. We have some movies that tell about that day. I think people have many imaginations. I believe bad something will be happened around our lives, but our world won’t be ended. Have you heard that all the planets in the solar system are located on a flat plane called the Ecliptic I 2012? This is calculated by the NASA true. Earthquakes, huge waves, disasters, drought, and storms happen more often span that is really serious now; furthermore, Magnitude of the earthquake is continually growing as the Earth approached the main plane of our Galaxy. I think sometimes we hear many rumors about something that can make us confusion or fear. I often don’t believe it even I see it by my eyes and hear it by my ears because people are able to make many fake things in our lives to persuade us trust it. I am the reality, not superstition, but I am very interesting in understanding the spiritual life and ancient culture.

my difficult problem

I have had many problems in my new life since I came the united states. language is actually hard to study. I feel uncomfortable when I talk with someone on phone that is really hard to listen and understand. someone told me that didn't be shy.furthermore,my cousins said that I should make any conversation with anybody if you could. I think my serious problem is how to remember or keep vocabularies in my brain.
the vocabularies definitely have many meanings that depend on what we talk about.we often don't have rules to spell that is why I have to memorize them.many word have a same sound that make me really awkward to remember and spell. I often forget vocabularies if I don't use them many times. sometimes I misunderstand the meaning of words. I sometimes read books, but my vocabulary raise up really low. that is why my vocabulary is really serious problems in my life.
I will study in college in the near future, so i have to build up my English. I am not good person to study English. I really hated to study English when i was a child. when I studied in middle or high school, I often taught about grammar. the teacher often didn't care about remembering vocabulary. That is one of the causes I am poor vocabulary guy.
maybe I have to make another plan to remember vocabulary better. I should read more books this quarter. I am still working hard my homework. I just want to be a better guy. Maybe my serious problem is still remembering vocabularies.
