what is your default question?

I received a mail from Kuya Jeff from Bo Sanchez soulfood. I am also a subscriber of soulfood, but everytime I received an email, I just read the prayer in the bottom. "Feeling ko pare-pareho lng sinusulat nya. Pero marami pala ko namimiss. I should focus in those words-in between and I should appreciate those little things that comes in my way."
Soulfood blog goes like this...
You have a Default Question that you ask yourself a thousand times a day.
It’s like your OS or Operating System, working in the background.
For many people, their Default Question is “What’s wrong?”
They wake up in the morning and unconsciously ask, “What’s wrong with this day? What’s wrong with my life?”
And throughout the day, they keep asking their Default Question:
“What’s wrong with my husband?”
“What’s wrong with my parents?”
“What’s wrong with my kids?”
“What’s wrong with my job?”
“What’s wrong with my friends?”
And the deadliest Default Question is “What’s wrong with me?”
Some people ask this question again and again throughout the day, it kills their spirit. Because they find so many things wrong about them. No wonder they don’t like themselves!
The question “What’s wrong?” is a very useful question—not as a Default Question—but as a question during emergencies. (When there’s really something wrong!)
What then should be your Default Question?
Key: Appreciation
The Default Question we should ask is, “What’s right?”
Ask it a thousand times a day.
“What’s right about this day? What’s right about my husband? What’s right about my kids? What’s right about my job?”
And especially the very healthy question, “What’s right about me?”
If the Bible is right that you’re really made in the image of God, then by golly gee, you must be a phenomenal human being.
You’ve got stuff in you that are fantastic—and you need to take time to appreciate them.
Remember: Only love can defeat fear. And appreciation is love.
When Jesus healed the ten lepers, only one came back to thank Him. He asked, “Where are the other nine?” On that day, ten were healed physically but only one was healed completely. Ten were healed physically but only one was healed physically and spiritually.
Heal yourself by appreciation. ;=)

Napintas! ;=)


Biag ken Siak


i can say im a pirated ilocano, but with an original Tagalog heart. OMG, Yaya! but, its true. i choose to be with them for almost a year, because i feel happy and comforted when i am with them.imagine, puro lalaki kasama ko.which is an advantage, kasi may kasama na ko sa paglalakad.madalas meron pa ngang natatapilok kada lakad namin, d ba Imaw?! ;=) i forget all my worries sa tuwing umuuwi ako ng bahay. sa mga huling araw na kasam ko sila, i say at the back of my mind, wat if I could extend nga lang...pero, FINALLY na ang lahat. I know God send them kasi alam ni GOD na kailangan ishake ng konti ang buhay ko at may tumapik bigla, sila nga ang dumating, ang mga Lakay! Ukinam! hehehe! When I had a hard times before, wala ko iniisip kundi, kailangan ko maging strong kasi nobody will help me and comfort me in that place.decision ko pumunta ng dxb, so I must stand firm. pero dumating sila, nakisali sa buhay DXB ko..hehehe..marami akong natutunan sa kanila.mga bagay na hindi ko nalaman noon, mga pangyayari na hindi ko naranasan, at mga pagkakataon na hindi maibabalik ng kahapon.i also want to share them my BEST, kaya nga im trying to understand their world. minsan hindi rin kami nagkakaintindihan. pero ang galing, para lang kaming mga bida sa bubble gang...nag-aasaran, nagtatawanan, nag-JC (lam na yun!), party at comfort zone sa pool side (madaming hidden scenes sa poolside..), nakikipagsagutan kay kuya bryan (tulok!), tga-gising ni JM at ni Markito pagkatapos ko maligo, tga-timpla ng kape ni Imaw (masarap dw ako magtimpla ng kape, kaya ayun nagpabola nmn ako!), tga-kain sa sinigang na isda palagi ni Imaw, tga-tikim sa dinakdakang sibuyas ni JM, at siyempre ang masasarap na luto ni ate lorraine, kuya joepher,at ate chandy (asan na ba si kuya myk? bka nsa maktoum bridge pa din..hehehe) oopps, parang tga-tikim lng ako dati ah.....hehehe..marami pa kaming hindi makakalimutang moments, kungbaga, nka-frame na yun sakin, ewan ko lang sa kanila.hehehe! pinipilit kong isantabi lahat ng mga alaala, pero mahirap, bigla na lang may luha na sumisingit unti-unti sa maliit kong mata...namimiss ko na silang lahat. lalo na ang mga taong huli kong nakasama, kasi i felt and learned what is CARE all about. narealize ko na hindi kailangan na matagal mo ng kakilala or kaibigan ang taong magpapahalaga sayo. it can be showed even by some strangers that will leave a mark in your whole life. and that is what i felt with them. Life is made with different things, pero there is one factor that connect each one of us. lagi kong babalikbalikan anuman ang nakaraan, kahit wala na kayong pakialam. dahil dun ko lang makukuha ang lakas para harapin ang anuman na nais kong simulan. kayo ay isa sa mga nagbigay ulit ng kulay sa mapusyaw kong paligid noon. tulad nga ng kanta sa paborito nating panoorin every Sat at DXB time, "Just Chew It w/the BUBBLE GANG." tuloy lang sa pag-nguya...Kasta pay! -Salam-;=)

with love-Anjulina ;=)
