Christmas in Town!


Christmas all over the Globe!
Christmas in Town!
Christmas in Bulacan!
Christmas in our home!

Joy. Love. Laughter. These are the common feelings I am seeing now in our street and home. 

Just want to share small stuff for the kids and gifts for them. 


Sharing time






Candies 

Perhaps the happiest people today are the Kids! They are going from one place to another opening the gifts and enjoying family sharing time.  
Gifts for the kids 

Truly, Christmas season makes every family and loved ones together not because of the gifts and money but the essence of the season -- Jesus Christ. He died for you and me to make life more meaningful and enjoyable! John 3:16

Enjoy the Season! Merry Christmas to all. 

   

Greetings!

Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year!

Do Core Competencies Really Boost Performance?

Do Core Competencies Really Boost Performance?
[Workforce Management | October 04, 2012]

Q: We hear the phrase ''core competencies' ' thrown around quite a bit, but how should we define it? In other words, how do we understand our core competencies within the context of boosting our organization' s performance?

- Bugged by Buzzwords, human resources recruiter, health care, Scotts Valley, California

A: Your core competencies are those competencies that provide your company with access to markets, a unique benefit to customers, and aren't easily imitated. Once you define them, use your core competencies to continuously align your activities and your talent. Over time, this type of clarity and purposeful streamlining should prove to be a strong differentiator between you and your competition.

Core competencies are a unifying force for organizations, helping to boost overall performance. Several methods exist to help you identify your core competencies, similar to strategic planning exercises. You should:

a) Inventory your existing competencies.
b) Survey your operating environment.
c) Determine where the organization wants to go through ''visioning' ' exercises.
d) Create a strategic plan to support existing competencies and develop those you lack.

This process sheds light on noncore areas and enables you to better redirect resources or possibly to outsource certain activities - practices that are linked to better business performance.

The term ''core competencies' ' can be interpreted in many ways. Organizational core competencies exist at the organizational level. However, there are also individual core competencies, reflecting the strengths of the people working for your organization. Ideally, individual competencies will be in line with your organization' s core competencies, much in the same manner as individual business units align to the larger organization' s values, vision and strategies.

Organizational competencies contribute to your talent management strategy. They help you identify the critical and primary capabilities of each unit - the individual core competencies - which in turn guide your plans for recruiting and developing talent.

Therefore, it is well worth your time to identify and define the competencies your organization considers to be core to its business. And it is especially important to repeatedly and consistently communicate to employees the vital role they play as your organization strives for success, especially in a challenging and ever-changing business climate.

Journey: Meaningful Life





Looking back, I can honestly say that the greatest treasures in life have been discovered during challenging times. Weaknesses have given way to strengths and failures have led to successes and God has used it all for His glory and my good.

I can say that I had life-full-of-surprises. Celebrating special day with the people whom you know and whom you can fully trust your life in good times and bad times.

Thank you guys for the life you shared, time you spend and of course all laughter we made.  Sharing moments to everyone really can’t be exchange by tangible things. It is priceless. It is unforgettable. It is love.

Hey, another year to look forward to… I am excited to see what is ahead and what God has prepared for me.

This song was a prayer by a friend of mine.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.


Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6

Never Again.

BSA Tower Ortigas City
It was a gloomy weather the past days. People in all walks of life are finding a shelter. I have seen and heard some are starving and couldn't find a place for home.


I was able to go on top of the building in Ortigas. I got this shot. It was awful. It was dark. The sun cannot find his place to shine. I couldn’t see anything but a small glittering lights from afar. Then I uttered, I hope to see the sunshine again. I hope to find a place where we can start to hope again.


A promise of God to all mankind:

I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth." Genesis 9:11

Let’s claim this word of God. Whatever you are right now, God is looking upon us…
