LIFE WITHOUT LIMITATIONS
After I watching the clip about ‘Life Without Limitation’ I was pretty amaze with Nick Vujicic and the word that he whisper ‘ I love living life and I am happy’ which it’s have inspire me to appreciate my life more than I do now. I think the message that the clip is trying to send is to appreciate our life more and don’t ever dissatisfy about our physical and other. If we ever face a storm in our life and fallen to the bottom we must never afraid to stand tall again and must dare to face the problem and finish strong. Never let our weakness destroy us instead we use it as our strength to move on in our life.
Yes, video clip ‘ Life without Limitation’ really inspired me. When I watch Nick fall I think there’s no way he can get up again without anyone there to help him. But, I guess I was wrong, he never let his inability to be a barrier. That moment really touch my soul, and at the same time it gave me strength to never let anything to be an obstacle of my life. God’s is good because he gave me a perfection in my life, I should never complain about anything the only thing I should do is to appreciate who I am today and thank God for giving me a chance to live in this wonderful world that he create.

My opinion about Love
From my opinion love is the purest, sincere and an innocent feeling that exist in the heart of every God creature. Love is the greatest and the most beautiful gift from God it can weaken and strengthen us. There are many ways of love ,love towards family, friends ,pets or animal and also environment. Love is a feeling of tenderness, affection, strong liking and kind. Love bears the pain of the world, believes lies, hopes despite sense and reason, endures torture. When we love someone in our life, we willing to sacrifice everything just to steal one smile in their faces. Loving someone is unconditional, as we all know people always change all the time until sometimes it would break our heart but we will still accept him or she because love already exist in our heart and we will love the person exactly as they are, exactly as they were before, and exactly as they will be in the future just like a love from parents to their child. Expecting something from someone is not love, love is all about giving and taking. Teenagers nowadays are so much passion about love, until sometimes when their heart broke they will trying something that will harm their own life, well it is not love actually, it’s a stupid mistake that teenagers always did. Jealousy is not love, fears is not love , keeping people all to yourself is not love, and lust is not love. As a conclusion, love is such an innocent feeling and we should never abuse love and love can united us all.My Opinion About Public Display of Affection (PDA)
Public Display of Affection are acts of between two gender or between male and female that were in love are display their intimacy in the public area and it’s the act of physical intimacy in the view of other such as hugging, holding hand, kissing and more. In Western world such as Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and united states, PDA is a common things that lovers always do. It’s the way to show their affectionate to their partner. From my opinion about PDA that nowadays lovers in Asia or especially Malaysia are becoming more passion to do the PDA with their partner, it’s depends on how they will show their affectionate towards their partners. If they were only holding hands I think it acceptable, but if they attends to do an immoral acts in public area I think it’s unacceptable, because our country are known as a conservative country, polite and always keep morality. Moreover it will give a bad impact to the society.Love Story
Love??so what is love??for me love is an innocent feeling where love can blinded people eyes and control our mind, love can be found in many parts and size…form my opinion, teenagers nowadays must change their mindset that love only can be found through man and woman relationship or more basically they called it’s a couple relationship. But the truth is we already experience a true and purest love since the first breathe we took when we came into this wonderful world, it is the love from our family especially our parents. As the times goes by, there are a lot of family issues that violate the love in a perfect family, like my experience of life, me and 4 of my sibling grow up by the support of our one and only beloved mother. After my parents were split up, my mother took the responsibilities as a father and also as a mother towards me, my brother and sisters. Even though I was so little at that time, guess I’m not totally understand about the burden that she’s carry but I notice that she is trying her best to be the best mother towards us. She give completely selfless devotion to us. She work so hard just to ensure that all of us are getting the education that every people should get. She sacrifice everything just to fulfil our daily needs. It’s not easy to be a single mother with 5 children she have to responsible with. Her love is the greatest love of all. I love my mother so much and my siblings. She is the best mother ever she had taught us how to be a good human being, and not to hated our father. Today, I’m here continuing my study as a hotel management student just to fulfil my mother dreams to see me success in my life and can help to improve our family life.
