If you are on the internet reading this article I guess it is somewhat safe to assume that you are in some way familiar with the computer. As an IT student I unashamedly declare that the computer is a wonderful piece of technology. But one thing which makes using the computer more fun than the usual is the shortcut keys. With knowledge of shortcuts you can use the mouse less and get more done in less time. One such shortcut key is ?CTRL Z? (Control Key + Z Key), which undoes previous editing.

You might be wondering why I am talking about computers and shortcuts, but I just want to focus on the shortcut key CTRL Z (undo). We are all born in a world of sin; let?s say that at birth we were given a clean page, a new document. We begin to edit it and all our lives we made mistakes, messed up!

Have you ever asked these questions? ?Why is it that others are being blessed and not me?? ?Why is my time taking so long to come?? ? Probably you have.

Isn?t it frustrating knowing that you are trying to live a holy life (no one is perfect) and to please God but yet still you are struggling. If you are doing the right things, why aren?t you bless yet? ? THAT?S BECAUSE YOU ARE ON HOLD.

Read the Jamaica Gleaner's Review

I think I can safely say that we all love junk food, right. Am I right? We love the fries, deep fried chicken, the burgers and the pop soda. The truth is that junk food is delicious. It appeals to our thousands of taste buds. But while we are indulging we hardly take time to think of the effects that junk food has on our bodies, only the gratification we receive.

But in reality everyone knows that junk means useless, waste, crap. The same thing can be said of junk food. It is very delicious, but it is not good for us. And we all know of the effects, both the internal and visible ones. Overconsumption of junk food makes people fat, and I don?t mean God Blessed fat; I mean fat where there are too much fat cells in our bodies which can cause obesity. Junk food slowly eats years off our lives. Once we eat it we are affected, some more than others.

A favourable comment from Simon Cowell, the mean American Idol judge, is as rare as hen's teeth. Dahlia Ashley is the first Jamaican to make it to the Hollywood round of the competition and had a pleasant run-in with Cowell.

Not only did he tell her she was pretty, he also told her she can sing.

"It was one of the greatest experiences in my life. It built my confidence so high I can sing anywhere," Ashley said. "I feel happy I tried. I feel God planted me there for a purpose, to do greater things for the gospel."

Competition entered

Just as the many thousands who wanted to a chance to audition for the judges, Ashley camped out on the roadside in Colorado to have her two-minute chance.

While she did not make the top 10, the experience is still one she will remember.

That was not the end of her singing competition attempts, as Ashley also participated in the South Florida Star Search hosted by Emillo Estefan and placed third.
