SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES SHOULD BE BANNED

Smoking...I'm sure that everyone know about it. Today a lot people do this thing in order to satisfy themselves as well as another purpose they have. Not only men, but also women smoke a cigarette. There are some reasons why people like to smoke cigarette. But everyone has their own opinion. In this case, I just want to show you what I have in my mind. Here they are :

- Once in a while they think by smoking they will get a satisfaction.

- Some people say that a man who is used to smoking looks like more gentlement if we compare with the one who doesn't smoke.

- Perhaps only by smoking a person can be relax and they feel that smoking can assist them to release or even solve the problem that they have.

Although some people think that there are some benefits can be got by smoking, they also get a damage from it. People who is used to smoking, they will be addicted. In addition, they will get some diseases which caused by smoking. For instance, they will get heart disease, their lung can't work properly, and also something wrong with the breath system. What I've written before are the damages or bad effects for active smoker.

Don't think that passive smoker can't get the bad effect too. Because people who doesn't smoke but they live or stay near by a smoker will get the bad effect of it. Unfortunately, some active smokers don't realize it. They don't care with another people who live around them. As a matter of fact, when they are smoking, they also throwing away poison to another. It will be dangerous because the smoke that come up from the smoker mouth can pollute the air substances such as oxygen. We know that human breath and take the oxygen into their body. So, how come if the air we inhale was polluted by poison substances? It will be very dangerous for us. And you know what will happen to us.

As there are so many bad effects caused by smoking, we have to remind the smoker to cut down the amount of their smoking frequency. We can also say thta it is not allowed to smoke in a public places because it will make people around the smoker get some damages for themselves. I think it is more effective way to decrease the number of people who get heart disease and lung disturbance. As we know that this diseases are deathly diseases. A lot people death because of this disease every year. Remembering how important to reduce the effect caused by smoking, t it is very important for us to remind and not allow people to smoke in public places.

Four Tips for the Broken-Hearted

When I broke up with my boyfriend of three years, I cried so hard that the skin on my nose started peeling from blowing it so much. I didn't cry on Valentine's Day, his birthday, or the other "big" occasions when I thought loneliness would set in. I cried at the tiniest things -- when I saw a monkey on TV that I knew he'd laugh at, or when I smelled a whiff of his sporty deodorant. Of course people told me it would get easier with time -- and it did -- but what they didn't tell me was that it would get harder with time before it got easier.

Every day that passed was marked. I'd think, "I can't believe this is the first Saturday without him as my date", or "How could 8 months have passed without us talking?"

Breaking up is more than hard to do... it feels totally unnatural, counter-intuitive, and down-right unfair to stop talking to someone you're used to talking to daily.

Of course, if the breakup was fueled by something lousy that your partner did -- or something hurtful that you did -- anger and guilt can transform the mourning process. More often than not, however, people break up when they still have feelings for their partner.

While you're blowing your nose, here are a few tips to consider:

1. Write down a list of your five 'must-haves' and five 'can't-stands' for your future partner.
It can be as silly as wanting to date someone who loves to dance or as serious as wanting to be with somebody of the same faith. If it is important to you, include it in your list.

Try to identify how certain fears influenced your last relationship,
and decide whether you're prepared to take steps to face those fears.

2. Make new relationship resolutions.

Try to identify how certain fears influenced your last relationship, and decide whether you're prepared to take steps to face those fears. For instance, if you feared losing your independence in your last relationship, how will you cope in your next one so that you don't feel you have lost yourself while in a partnership?

3. Ask yourself, "Why did you stay as long as you did?"
Were there moments when you knew it wasn't working? How did you deal with it? What would you do differently if you did it again?

4. Allow yourself to grieve in a way that's comfortable to you.
For some, playing sad love songs and spending many nights inside with Ben and Jerry feels best. For others, jumping into the dating game in a casual way and having fun is a good way to cope.

Once you get to the point where a relationship just isn't working, or if the other person has terminated something you thought had more potential, don't beat yourself up. It's easier to say with distance and time -- but usually these things are a blessing in disguise. When we start to date again, we often realize how wonderful it feels to be appreciated for some of the quirks that annoyed or upset our ex, or how amazing it is to be fulfilled and fully present with someone else.

Are Bad Dating Habits Keeping You Single?

In the search for love, it's all too easy to get sidetracked by bad dates, broken hearts, and bad love habits. And while bad dates and broken hearts are part of the dating journey toward happily-ever-after, bad love habits can and should be avoided at all costs.

So what's a bad love habit? Any dysfunctional, destructive, difficult belief or habit you have towards love and relationships that's keeping you from finding, attracting, and/or maintaining a healthy relationship.

The following are some common bad dating beliefs:

• You choose potential partners who are incapable of meeting your emotional needs.
• You think love has to be difficult, painful, and/or hard.
• You think your potential partner is going to fix whatever you don't like about yourself or your life.
• You believe time is running out on your search for love and/or your chance to have children.

If any of the above sound familiar, don't worry. You're not a lost cause. In fact, with a little time and effort, you can turn things around! What follows are five simple and effective tips and techniques geared toward helping you break free of limiting relationship beliefs and bad dating habits. Practiced over time, you can and will kick any bad dating habit -- for good!

1. Identify the dating traps you're stuck in

Think you've got to miraculously solve all your problems before you'll be deserving of love? Convinced there are no good "ones" left? Or do you believe that your perfect partner will one day swoop in and magically save you from your life? If any or all of the above sound familiar, chances are good that you suffer from some common dating traps. In order to become a successful single, you first need to free yourself from these traps. Acknowledging the traps you're stuck in is the first step. Next, you've got to break free of these traps, as well as any other limiting or destructive beliefs that are keeping you stuck. To find out how, keep reading.

2. Assess your excess baggage

Next, it's important to get honest with yourself about what you might be lugging around with you on dates (or in life in general). What are you holding onto that no longer serves you? Rejection, disappointment, betrayal? This is from your past, not your present or future. If you've got negative or destructive beliefs or fears weighing you down, you owe it to yourself to dump that excess baggage!

3. Dump your excess baggage

In order to have a happily ever after future, you have to first believe you deserve finding a mate. Gather those painful memories, that chip on your shoulder, any residual anger from past relationship experiences, and tell them they've got to go. Thank them for the lessons you've learned and tell them that it's now time for you to stand on your own two feet. In your mind's eye, give them the heave-ho! Next, start visualizing the kind of life you want to have, complete with your dream job, perfect partner, ideal home, etc. By getting clear about what you want, you give yourself permission to attract it.

4. Stop putting off your life and/or personal happiness

So many of us put off personal happiness waiting for some external result like "I'll be happy when I lose weight, when I pay off my debts, when I get a better job." The truth is, you deserve to enjoy your fabulously imperfect life right this very minute!

When you stop putting off happiness, you start attracting happy people, healthy relationships, exciting and new opportunities. Instead of postponing joy until something external happens, today's the day to start celebrating the joy in your everyday life.

5. Embrace a new dating vocabulary

Now that you're baggage light and dating-trap free, it's time to introduce a new vocabulary to your dating belief system. Every morning and night for 30 days, practice the following exercise: Say to yourself "Love/dating/my ideal relationship is..." and then fill in the blank with the appropriate words (words like healthy, whole, loving, fun, etc.). By creating a new vocabulary for yourself, you may be surprised at how your outlook on dating and relationships changes, and as a result, you'll start attracting happier and healthier potential partners. Love that!

So there you have it -- five simple dating tips and techniques to help you break free of limiting relationship beliefs and bad love habits. May you learn them, love them, live them. In doing so, you just may fall in love with your life all over again, not to mention exponentially increase your chances of future relationship success.

Good luck and happy dating!

THINK 'BOUT THIS...IT'S YOU?!

When everything has gone, you'll feel there's nothing you have.
Without someone or something to be loved.
You have no one to trust and once in a while probably you're not eager/ frightened to get a long with each other.
You think that all of your expectation are lost.
You can't deny yourself that you're in a worst condition at this time.
You always try to cure yourself from your suffer that you get when something was occured before.

special experience

I have a special experience in my life. and untill now I still join with this thing. Do u know SKY DIVE or some people call it FREE FALL? Have u ever fallen from an airplane and u flown in the sky like a bird? I guess it just done by special person who has a special capability.But I've done it.Nowdays I have approximately 90's times of jumping. Can u imagine if u can fly in the sky and see the green forest, mountain, sea and everything from above? And can u feel the nervous when the airplane take off and climb untill 10.000 feet above ground level and then we have to fall out from the ramp door? But when u open ur eyes and take a breath for a while, u'll realize u're flying and these nerves will be gone untill u landing in ur dropzone.
