UFS111 - 4th Reflection Topic Watch the clip of LIFE WITHOUT LIMITATION. What was the message that the clip is depicting. Did the clip inspired you? If yes,why? and in what way? If no, why?

 

         The message that this clip is depicting is how we should be thankful to God of what we have been granted in our life. I believe in the human spirit and this guy is an inspiration no matter how you look at it. Those of us who whine about how hard we have it don't have a clue next to this guy. This guy has one of the strongest spirits I have ever seen in human being, if we were half of what this guy has, this earth wouldn't be so annoying. This should inspire people with arms and legs that its truly a blessing. Even though he has no arm or feet, he still is the happiest guy on earth.. :) Certain people might have limbs but defiantly don't have heart, he has no limbs but the strongest man i have ever seen. I will state the obvious out of respect, God bless him for being encouraging and improving morale among the people who may feel limited in their own lives. :) This clip was truly an inspiration for me because if this man can touch the lives of millions and take charge of his life why can't we do it, we have more advantages over him but we always complain and making excuses. We have to stop making those excuses and get over the fear that we can't do something. We can have a life without limits this man have, Nick is the perfect example of life without limits. Imagine that we being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands to experience touch or to hold another hand with. Having no ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand on two feet. Now put both of those scenarios together, no arms and no legs. Imagine life without limits. Nick said that he love living his life and he was happy with his own life so why can't we just enjoy our life without all those complains and excuses.

UFS111 - 3rd Reflection The Lost Worlds

         The similarity between  Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza are both of this city is lost city that abandoned by the people. Machu Picchu it was abandoned city just over 100 years later, in 1572.  It is possible that most of it is population died from smallpox introduced by travelers before the Spanish conquistadors arrived in the area. There evidence suggests that Chichen Itza was abandoned by the Mayans in the tenth century. The abandonment has not yet fully explained because the Mayan returned to and settled the cities around 1000 AD. There some evidence that both of this city was colonized by the Spanish. The third similar of this two city are the City contain stone building in various state of preservation. In Chichen Itza, the site contain five stone building are connected by dense network of formerly, called sacbeob. There almost 100 sacbeob criss-crossing the site, and extending in all direction from the city. Machu Picchu, the Incas were masters of this technique, called ashlar, in which block of stone are cut to fit together tightly without mortar. Both this city has temple, in Chichen Itza the temple still exist is the Temple of the Sun and Temple of the Sun in Machu Picchu. They have a sacred religious site. This theory stands mainly because of where Machu Picchu located. Reinhard calls it ‘sacred geography’ because the site of building on and around the mountain that holding high religious important in the Inca culture. There are two large, natural sink holes, called cenotes, this could have provided plentiful water year at Chichen Itza. There two cenotes, the “Cenote Sagrado” known as the Sacred Well or Well sacrifice. Machu Picchu is the historic Sanctuary while Chichen-Itza is the Pre-Hispanic City.  The sanctuary of Machu Picchu was located in the country of Peru and Chichen Itza was in the country of Mexico. In the sanctuary of Machu Picchu the integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning were mixed and in the city of Chichen Itza were cultural.  The ruins of Machu Picchu are divided into two main sections known as the Urban and Agricultural Sectors, divided by a wall. The Agricultural Sector is further subdivided into upper and lower sectors, while the Urban Sector is split into East and West sectors, separated by wide plazas. The buildings of Chichen Itza are grouped in a series architectonic set, and each set was at one time separated from other by a series of low walls. The site exhibits of the city of Chichen Itza was a multitude of architectural styles, from what is called “In the Mexican Origin” and reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico to the Puuc style found among the Puuc Maya of the northern lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion. Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stoned walls. Its three primary buildings are the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. These are located in what is known by archaeologists as the Sacred District of Machu Picchu. In September 2007, Peru and Yale University almost reached an agreement regarding the return of artifacts which Yale has held since Hiram Bingham removed them from Machu Picchu in the early 20th century. In November 2010, a Yale University representative agreed to return the artifacts to a Peruvian university. I like the city of the Pre Hispanic, Chichen Itza because it has more site of description than the historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu, such as the Great North Platform, the Ossario Group, the Casa Colorada Group, Central Group and the Old Chichen. And I preferred the Pre-Hispanic city of Chichen Itza as my destination for vacation because the city of Chichen Itza was located on the flat surface than the historic sanctuary of the Machu Picchu was on the mountain.

UFS111 - 1st Reflection Write a reflection of about 250 words on what does the word LOVE means to you and how do you feel about PDA (Public Display of Affection)

         Love, when we talk about love, many people say that love is the feeling of a very deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone, that’s a funny definition even though it make sense. In my opinion, Love, affection, devotion, all mean a deep and enduring emotional regard, usually for another person. Love may also apply to various kinds of regard for examples the charity of the Creator, reverent adoration toward God or toward a person, the relation of parent and child, the regard of friends for each other, romantic feelings for another person, etc. That is what we humans said about love but what did the Holy Bible said about Love? It said love is patient, love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it does not proud. It is not ruse, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Public Display of Affection… Soft kiss is fine, not until seeing them kissing, turning me on. Then that is a no!  Hugs, holding hands, pecks on the cheek and a quick kiss on the lips are all fine by me. Anything more than that petting, French kissing, ass-grabbing, etc. should be better done in private. But I believe too much PDA is still not allowed in Malaysia. I think this is the problem, some of us accept “a kiss” or a “hug” or even a "French kiss" in a public. But when it comes deeper, it will be strange! What do we expect if we allow other "funny" people doing such things publicly? Firstly, is "LOVE" really need to be expressed publicly? Is it even called LOVE when it is public? Second, why we don't mind the roots of the problems and feel strange how big things coming up later! I mean, what leads a man for more than a hug or more than a kiss except a hug itself or a kiss itself and about those people who never consider others and keep doing what they want. This type of people as I believe will never succeed in their life I mean socially since most of us "Normal people" who like everything to be just normal get offended and don't really like such kind of people, because they don't consider us and our feelings when they do what they do.
