The Yahoo Group email that was started by our very own, Divina “Binday” Dominguez-Garcia is alive and well.  We all communicate through it, including the Dangoys, the Alcalas, Tanchicos, and the Dominguez clan.  However, we haven’t seen much reaction from the Lavariases and the Dizons.

The calendar is well updated (from  the active members such as Ate Corrie for the Tanchicos, and Maridee for the Dangoys).  Thanks to their active participation.

We would l ike to request for a representative from the Dizons and the Lavariases to help us update the calendars with birthdays, anniversaries and other important dates so that members may be made aware of the special events that they have in mind.

Again many thanks to the active participants… let’s keep the yahoogroup growing.

To all those who didn’t know, I went home to the Philippines last month to help a friend bury his father’s ashes. I didn’t have a chance to go to Baclaran to see our property there but from my understanding, it isn’t doing too good. I would invest in it only if you will all agree. I would like to take a loan and get the house completed, hire a Property Manager (companies like that are all over like Real Property Management whom we can use to manage the property) and rent it out to Balikbayans.

I just feel bad that the only thing that reminds us or ties us to our parents is this small property left behind for us. Yet, we are not utilizing it to the best that we could. We just can’t let the property sit there. What do you guys think?

Our cousin, Danette Dizon from Seattle, Washington contacted me via Facebook asking when the next Reyes Reunion would be.  I haven’t responded just yet as I want to throw it out there first and get your opinion.  Remember, I won’t be coordinating this reunion anymore as I already had my share (of headaches – haha!)

So, who’s in?  Are you willing to host a reunion?  Maryland or New York?  Philippines?

Let me know who’s interested and I’ll send an Evite out.

There are many opportunities still undiscovered in the Philippines. Anyone who wants to earn could earn money, given the right opportunity. Of course, you need capital. Once capital is found, a good business plan and a strong heart for success. Everyone knows it takes at least a year or two to get a business off the ground.

My friend wants to open a furniture business in the Philippines. While we were there, he started looking for a space where he could rent. Offices may be found through the internet through listings that are offered by companies. We may have to come back next year to firm up the business plans. We’re just waiting for the economy to turn around a bit before we get started.

Crossing our fingers!

Many thanks to Ate Veenah for setting up the Sanglahi Yahoo Group where relatives may be informed of any news surrounding our family. It has worked really well. If I needed to contact anyone in the family, I could simply send it to the group.

If anyone out there is not aware of our Yahoo Group, please note that our group is accessible through sanglahi@yahoogroups.com. We have the whole Reyes family registered there and you can send your message for everyone to see.

Please register and be a part of our family group.

There are lots of positive news about the economy. The stock market is doing really well globally. Is the economic crisis over? Well, let’s hope so.

To some of the families, it may not be the end just yet specially the ones who were laid off during the peak of the crisis. President Barack Obama is doing his best to move the economy forward. I heard that the bill was signed to prevent credit cards from over-charging interest rates. That is a good thing. Lots and lots of customers in good standing (myself included) are still getting charged with exorbitant amount in interest rates which is totally unfair. We hope that this move will help consumers specially at this time when times are tough.

Those who don’t want to rely on credit cards but simply would like to obtain a short term loan could apply for a Payday Loan where they could borrow a certain amount of money and wish to pay it off immediately just to bridge the gap between paychecks. If you have the ability to pay a loan immediately in full and simply would like to borrow and spend it on tuition or books at the time you most need it, you can apply for a Payday Loan. It’s best to pay it in full so that you don’t pay high interest rates.

Let’s all hope that we’ve hit the rock bottom of this economic crisis. Let’s look forward to a healing and eventually, healthier economy in the future.

I guess you’ve all heard that I have opened up a blog on how to earn money online. Working from home part-time, can get you a few bucks that you thought you’d never be able to make. The key thing is to make your money work for your. Otherwise, the little income that I get from blogging will be just that… little. I can grow it exponentially by investing it somewhere where you can leverage your investment and watching your money grown. Investment Forge is such a place where you can to this. If you own a small business or have spare change to invest, you shouldn’t let it sit. Otherwise, financial freedom may feel out of reach.

I don’t know much about it yet but I received a call from Max last night (a family friend from New York) who was introducing a concept to me about a new product that is FDA approved. As we all know, getting involved at the bottom level of any MLM is the best way to go. Receiving royalty checks is the goal.

If anyone is interested, please contact me or comment on this post. We are looking for people who wants to get involved – for a mere .25 cents, you can get started. The product will be available in the Philippines in September and we’d like to get you in as soon as possible.

Let us know!

Got an Idea!

Hey everyone! This is something we’ve never done before. Maybe this will be a great idea for our family reunion?! How about picking any of the Wildwood vacations in New Jersey? New Jersey takes a lot of insults but I must tell you, New Jersey is really great! I have lived here for the past 9 years and I have no complaints yet. I’m close to Atlantic City, we have water parks here and lots of things to do in New Jersey.

What do you say if we all book ourselves at any of the Wildwood New Jersey motels and visit Morey’s Piers? It’ll be different! Specially now that most of you have kids, it will be fun. Just throwing it out there.

I heard that Maridee and Arnel had their housewarming party over the weekend.  I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to make it but I heard from Kuya Monching that some were there.

Can you please send me pictures so I can post it here?  Or should I just direct them to Arnel and Maridee’s Multiply site?

Let me know.  I will be glad to post the pictures here for our relatives to see.

Congratulations Maridee and Arnel!!
