A Wildflower on Twitter

This photo was taken in 2009 or 2010. This was taken in Tangalan Municipal Cemetery when we were there for All Saint's Day.

I am not that active on Twitter. However, I visit whenever someone follows me just to check. When I checked my account yesterday, I saw that there were changes on Twitter. I chose a cover photo and a new profile photo. I chose this one as my cover photo. I love how the color of the flower looks vibrant against my hand and a generally dull-colored background.

Sunday Service Songs for May 18, 2014 - Jesus is Lord Tangalan

These are the praise and worship songs during the May 18, 2014 Sunday service in JIL Tangalan Church. I love the songs but the line that resonates to me are from "Spirit Touch Your Church".

"I want to care for others like Jesus cares for me.."

I just realize that amid pains and disappointments, caring for others can be a tough task.

Here's the PowerPoint Slides of the songs.

Crisostomo Ibarra is a Filipino who went to Europe to pursue his studies during the Spanish Era. He went home when his father, Don Rafael died. Don Rafael was a very rich businessman.

The story started when Crisostomo went home to the Philippines after his 7-year stay in Europe. Don Santiago, a good family friend, threw a big welcome party for him and it was attended by the most affluent and influential people in their area. The next day, he visited Maria Clara, the love of his life who reread his letters to her which he sent from Europe.

Before he left the town, a civil guard revealed everything he knew about the death of Crisostomo's father including everything else that happened before Don Rafael's death. He was wrongfully accused as Father Damaso did not like it that he did not participate in the Catholic Church's sacraments.

Ibarra continued his father's plans and put up a school. In the inauguration, he almost get killed. Elias, who warned Crisostomo of a planned assassination against him, rescued Ibarra.

Father Damaso insulted Ibarra in a lot of other occasions but the latter chose to ignore these insults. That is, until Father Damaso insulted Don Rafael. He tried to stab Father Damaso which led to Ibarra's excommunication. Father Damaso also warned Don Santiago about her daughter, Maria Clara's relationship with Crisostomo.

Change Management: The Business Expansion Secret

Written by: Claire Gellang

People are living a fast paced life today. In order to cope up with this kind of life, change is very essential. Many despise change because it is an indication of extensive and intensive modifications of what is used to be. A lot are even afraid of it yet settling for what you already have and where you used to be is similar to depriving yourself of endless possibilities. In business, entrepreneurs are sometimes in fear of making changes to their businesses. Lack of assurance and the fear of losing their investments are only some of their biggest concerns. Yet, there is something valuable in change management that makes it worth taking the risk especially in the world of business.

As time goes by, more businesses are getting cognizant to the fact that Change Management is an essential part of projects’ success that will minimize and alleviate risks, boost ROI and perk up user adoption rather than just another trend covered with jargon. A very crucial element to attaining winning projects is to implement change management methodologies and discover how it affects the quality of project’s upshots.  Learning how to administer change to the peak of its effectiveness will improve the success of your projects in all regards. Yet, not every organisation has recognized that Organisational Change Management is indispensable to the success of their change projects. Moreover, many companies that have made this attempt have only done so partly and still need to go further. Without doing such, more appalling events will partake and history will only repeat itself. Experience the serious consequences of ignoring establishing a change management framework and managing change.

Managing change is not one of those added function that will be one of countless gobbledygook to tick the box of governance. A healthy modern labour force cannot be productive in an environment that is not based on clear, customized and precise communications and approaches to close the learning curve by closing the information gaps caused by the change. A number of senior managers shun from allowing a full change management method to be incorporated with the project. They don’t consider it “real work” and setting up the change is an opulence and risk which they cannot afford. The irony is that while employees in the business defy the change, people in the project resist a plan to resisting the change.  The excuse of working on time-constrained projects is exactly why change management is required.  The challenge for change practitioners is not only functioning in hassled environments but also working in skeptical environments that compel them to work “below the radar” at times. Multiple companies, on the other hand, have adopted Change Management as a key activity in their business, they still represent a small percentage of all those that would benefit by establishing change capabilities into their daily operations and thus require a change in culture corporate in the growth of change capabilities.

Venturing into business will take and require a lot of courage from people since business is not intended for faint-hearted individuals. In order to extend and widen your business it will also take ample and a high level of courage to make necessary changes. Taking risk by venturing into business does not stop there, embracing change will help your business grow and you as a person as well as widen your horizons making change management essential and necessary.
