Youtube Cover Project #3 : I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I know I have said that I'll be doing a cover every week but I found it extra difficult with everything going on such college, interviews, and other activities. It really is true what they say "Time flies by". I cannot believe it's April now. Anyways, I have decided that I'm going to try and do this when I have time but by the end of the year I should have fifty covers. I feel I'm becoming more confident now.. However, it is so hard to get the camera working properly so bear with me on that. Hahaha.
The song that I have decided to do is one of my favourite U2 songs.

" I still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"

 This song is just so powerful. First time I heard it was on the radio when I came to Ireland twelve years ago. The lyrics still speak to me now as "I still don't what what I'm looking for". This month I just had an interview for the UK and although it's not for definite that I'll be moving away just yet, I just had the thought that "How will I cope with this?".." Is this what I really want?" . I then stumbled across this song on my playlist and it stuck to my head. I suddenly remembered all the friends and the memories I've made here in Ireland. I've learnt to cope and learnt a lot of new things. I realized that I may not know what's in front of me but as long as I'm happy and keep my faith that I'll be fine. I'll be able to handle moving away again and become more independent. The song really motivated me to not be scared and face my fears. Yes, if I get into the UK and get a place in Uni there I know that I will be able to cope. It will be my first time moving away form my parents but for some reason I know it will be alright. I just hope now that I will get a place at the university there. : )

This song also goes out for people who have lost faith and their hope. I hope that you know there in every dark cloud there is always a silver lining. I know that it tough,believe me I've been through that stage in my life but no matter what just be happy and keep positive.

Happy Easter !

No pain, no gain- A healthier Lifestyle [Update #1]

So, yesterday I started Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred. I have to say I was disappointed with myself as I couldn't even finish Level One. The exercise was so vigorous and intense that I did not even manage to do ten minutes of the twenty but hey, I decided to keep staying positive. The next day, I regained endurance and questioned myself "Why was I doing all of this?". Then I got to thinking; if I am going to start dieting and changing my eating habits I need to know that I'm doing it for myself.  Losing weight in order to impress people around you isn't right. Working out and eating a balanced diet should make YOU feel good both internally and externally. I did however, manage to complete Level One today which regained my energy.

This morning, I measured my rice to one cup per day and to watch what I eat. So far I've eaten one cup of rice with scrambled egg and later Mango Yoghurt. I have also decided to not eat so much after 6pm to prevent myself from eating too much. After all, it is not just about exercise but also maintaining your food intake. After all "You Are What You Eat". ..

Easter 2 0 1 3 at Lighthouse

Easter is a time for reflection, a time for renewal. This time I have  renewed my FAITH in God. There were many times when I have stumbled and lost hope, not just in God alone but I lost hope in myself. Going to Lighthouse Community Church on Sunday has been a major part of who I am now because of the things that I have learnt and learning to trust myself more and achieve my goals.

One major thing that I have learnt going yesterday was that religion is not based on popularity, it is not measured by your outward self but to look at your inner self. I mean is there really a point in going to church, joining different charities, helping people if your true self is vile and cruel. If you do things that are wrong in your spare time. Is it really worth hiding it just to make yourself good on the outside? NO. It isn't. Faith is something stronger than that. I mean of course do good deeds but don't pretend that you want to do them. Do it because you want to. Do it because that's your heart says that's right. Do it for you. Join a religion because you want to form a relationship with him, with GOD.

Also another thing my faith. My faith lacked a lot of power before. There were times when I questioned who God was. There was so many things that hindered me. Living in a world where there is a lot disbelief and many people trying to ask me "If God is really here, why does he not end poverty?" "Where is God when I was down." "If God is real then he should show himself" it is really hard to answer them because I also didn't have a clue. Lately I have been reading the Bible and came across this ...


Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.


God has a plan for each and every one of us. There are times when we will be confused and don't know where we're going but assure yourselves that God has his own plan made for YOU. There are many people who don't believe that there is a God but I can definitely say that there is a GOD. I have faced struggles in my life, sometimes I lost hope and wanted to just disappear but somehow there was always a voice or something telling me to keep going. God will show himself to you at the right time, whether it is tomorrow or years from now. He will show you in the right time. I have experienced his right timing with his blessings... I will not share it for now but soon. : )
He also might not be called Jesus, he many be called other names but to me he is GOD. There is definitely someone that is constantly protecting me and although I still have a lot to learn. I just want to say happy Easter.
