People wear weird costume during all saints day only. Because know that wearing Halloween costumes is fun and everybody will surely enjoy their self. Aside from that wearing Halloween costume is already part of their belief and culture.

During Halloween day, while people are walking around with their wearied costume they will never forget to have fun. There, they enjoy their self by playing with trick or treat game. Roaming around house to house and asking any candy to the house owner. That’s what they all do during the game. Its fun isn’t it? Though I never tried to wear costume while walking in the street and asking for candy but I think it’s really fun. As what I’ve seen many adults and children were participating in this kind of events. Well, I was just thinking, isn’t it scary at all? Might someone will grab you and bring you in the dark. Ow..Im really such a negative thinker. Actually I really believe that every all saints day, there are lots of bad spirits like ghost will roam around the street, which is why during all saints day, we will just stay inside the house. We are afraid to go out. But, that was just when I was a kid. But not anymore. Guess, ill try to experience it next time. If I’m already ready.

If we think and analyzed the title “Under the Sea”, it is a story under the deep blue sea. Well, this article is not about the title of the song, it’s about sea creatures, and mermaid is one of those sea creatures because it lives in the sea.

When we talk about sea creatures, for me they are those creatures that we haven’t seen yet or we have seen already for once but not really in real life, maybe in the books, newspapers, or in the news it still remains as a myth.

We know that fish, turtles, jellyfish and many more are sea creatures too, but unfamiliar things are more interesting to discuss than those we’ve seen always for almost everyday. Unfamiliar creatures give people some curiosity in their mind.

There are lots of sea creatures under the sea. Those creatures live in the very deep sea that it’s too hard for a camera to be captured. There are also sea creatures that are too dangerous. But the only sea creatures that really gives me curiosity and its really hard to believe is what we called mermaid. Of course everyone knows what mermaid is, even children knows them.

Mermaids are half human and half fish. That is why people are really having time to believe it because there still no proof if it really exist. There are some pictures and videos already reported that they found a body that really looks like a mermaid, and even me have watch the video and read it in the newspaper but one thing that doesn’t match in the mermaid that I’ve seen in the movies and in the newspaper is the mermaid was ugly. It don’t have a beautiful face and long hair instead it has a face of a fish with a very big mouth and a very long and sharp teeth with a body of human and a two arm but don’t have a finger of a human.

The first time I saw the picture, I was really shock. I ask my self, is this the really looks of a mermaid? It doesn’t look good. I really like mermaid because as what I’ve seen in the movie they are beautiful, but the picture I’ve seen pull me to not believe it. It scares me a lot.

Well, finish with mermaid thing, but mermaids are just some of the sea creature’s I’ve known under the sea. But who knows there are still a lot more. The world is full of excitement and there still lot of things need to be discovered and to learn. Just always remember, sea creatures are made by our only maker. Whether they have the scariest looks on the entire earth, they still have a life and they deserve to live peacefully like humans do.

Hmm.. Curiosity really comes out in our mind, why there are lots of unfamiliar creatures. Are this all creatures comes from people’s imagination and creative mind or it really exists? If it yes, well, I think the world must not be beautiful also, it must be scary too. As what I’ve seen in the movie, read in the books hear from people’s mouth, monsters are really scary and dangerous. Scary because they don’t really look good, well, monsters don’t have the same looks as what humans too. But unlike human, monsters appearances are not the same with those other creatures called aliens. Aliens have thin body while monster have sharp teeth, long horn, a very sharp claw and a big and hairy body. Actually, that’s what I read in a book or watch in a movie. And you know what I think? If they really exist, I will never ever go out in the house if the night comes. Because as I know monster eat flesh, and if they seen a human walking around in the dark place, he will grab it and bring it to his hide out and eat it. And I don’t want to be called monster meal.

Monster are now being popular in mostly movies, and children’s really put in there mind that a monster that they’ve seen in the television is really real. But for many people, it was just made by a creative mind that a people should not believe in.

It’s too hard to believe those unbelievable things that are not familiar to us. We don’t always see them everyday walking in the street like normal people, we just know them through there pictures, videos and images.

People are so creative that they can make images in there mind. With the use of the technology we had now people can make images and video that looks really real. The question is, are those pictures and videos that we seen are real? Are we really not alone in this universe?

There are many people said that they saw a UFO or an alien. Some people even captured pictures of them and take some videos of flying spaceship.

And because of all the evidence we seen we could barely think that it is really real and not just came from peoples mind. But not all people believe in it. Well, as for me, I really believe in aliens and UFO. It does not mean that I’ve seen them already. But those images pull me to believe them. And beside we don’t own the universe, I’m sure there still some creatures like us trying to explore how big and beautiful the universe is. And I think aliens are just like humans too. They get curious if they are still any creatures outside in there planet, that is why they travel and they landed here in earth. And for me, I think aliens are smarter than human. Because they are more advance in technology. Not like us, I know we humans can also invent spaceship but not really like those aliens’ spacecraft. And for me, aliens do really exist in this world.
