We may think that the world is safe. We may think that bad things only happen to bad people. I know that it’s hard to think that even the kindest of neighbor could be someone that threatens your family. We have plenty of kids in the family. We must protect them.

Child Molesters are everywhere and if you don’t know that yet, it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. You must know where your child is, every minute of every day. It seems unfair for us to trust no one but sometimes it is the case. It could be your next door neighbor, your child’s teacher, a relative or anyone. It could even be someone you go to church with.

Find out and make note of Child Molesters in your neighborhood. They are required by law to be registered. The more you know – the safer your child will be. Go to: http://www.registeredchildmolesterlist.org for more information.

You can never be too careful.

Every year, our company provides us with Corporate Holiday Cards during the Christmas season to sign and be sent to our customers or clients. It’s one of the most important gestures we can give our loyal clients who provide us their business year after year. The problem is, sometimes they pick a company where to purchase the Holiday Cards a little too late. I look a the the card they want me to sign and I couldn’t believe why they even chose it.

So this year, we decided to start early and look online to make suggestions about which would be the best design and most personal Corporate Holiday Cards we could find. There are plenty of designs available – without having to be politically incorrect. They can choose to send one with a religious theme, a fun theme or anything else but cheesy. It’s a campaign now.. we want to sign the best cards this year.

The younger generations are apt to the rigors of email and internet surfing. You can utter the word SPAM and Email Hoax as well as Snopes and they will know what we mean. They even know what phishing means. These are words that have evolved through time over the internet. Kids are more used to using the net than most baby boomers do and of course, the baby boomers do try their best to adjust to the technology. They try to use email and the web and they are becoming very good at it.

However, not a lot of people from that age group are aware of email scams and fraudulent activities. Ate Agnes told me a story about a friend of hers who became a victim of email fraud. He was promised a large amount of inheritance from a man in Nigeria (any kid would know exactly that Nigeria has been used a million times for fraud and are aware to delete these types of email), and sent $1,250.00 of his money over to a bank he doesn’t even know so that he could claim a huge amount of inheritance. The person corresponding with him was sending him totally fraudulent documents that appear authentic to a newbie but not to a savvy internet user.

I’ve been in Germany almost a month this week.  The three weeks that passed seemed like yesterday.  The last week however, is dragging like molasses.  Only a few more days and I get to go home and sleep on my own bed.  It’s been a good month here – the people are very nice and they have taken care of me so well I must have gained 20 pounds.

Same time next week, I will be blogging from my bedroom at home in New Jersey.  It would be refreshing.

How’s everyone been?  I hope all is well and that everyone is enjoying the east coast heatwave. 

I was hearbroken when I saw on CNN today that due the the storm Fengshen that hit the Philippines, a ferry liner capsized in the process carrying 800 total passengers including crew members.   They were still awaiting news at the time that I read it if there were any survivors.

They have pictures upon pictures of families waiting to hear the news and it is sad to see.  I couldn’t imagine having to sit and wait for news like that.   So, our heart goes out to all the families of the people aboard the ferry liner.  Our prayers are with you and your family.  We hope that there will be many survivors.

I just want to let everyone know that I will be in Germany for one month.   The business trip is a must because we have to complete our global  integration with Europe by next month and I was chosen to go and meet with our technical folks from Italy, Czech Republic, Germany and Spain.

In between my tasks to complete in Frankfurt, I have a convention to go to in Amsterdam for the weekend of the 14th.

I may not be able to blog so again, if anyone out there is interested in sending a guest post, please let me know.  We want to keep the momentum going here.

Thanks!

Listen up family! Many of us have been here long enough to know that credit cards are only good if used in a manner that would help you defer a payment that you intend to pay in full when it’s due. If you can’t pay for the amount you charged in full, you better not charge it. If you can’t afford to pay for it in cash – you can’t afford to pay for it with a credit card.

The interest rates for credit cards these days have become so ridiculous that I always shop for the the card with the best rate to offer and most important thing, always use no annual fee credit cards only. I don’t care what they say but if a credit card charges you an annual fee to use their card, they are out of their minds. There are plenty of credit cards out there that can offer a low-interest rate and no annual fee. Why settle for one that would charge you over 25% in interest and an annual fee on top of that? That is such a real trap.

If you have any cards that charge annual fees – get rid of them now. Call the card issuer and cancel the card. Don’t worry – there are plenty of offers that will come your way. With the economy as bad as it is today, we need not pay any more extra fees than we normally have to. Let’s clean house and do your annual financial status review.

This morning, we all got up to go to mass at 8:30 in the morning at St. John the Evangelist. The homily was quite unclear as we all had one thing on our minds. Today was the day that Kuya Rey was going to undergo heart bypass surgery. We enveloped ourselves in prayer to ask God to guide the human hands that will perform the operation and to send His angels and saints to gather round the operation table and protect him from any harm.

We arrived at the hospital around 11:00 a.m. after a quick breakfast. Kuya Rey was relaxed and ready for his operation. Ate Glory, sat beside him looking worrisome. We didn’t want to alarm Kuya Rey so we told jokes and talked around his hospital bed as if it was a regular day. The nurse arrived, checked on his stats and chatted with us for a while. By 12:30, his anesthesiologist walked in to prepare him. She asked a few questions about his medical history and so forth. She advised him not to worry, that he is in the hands of a very good doctor known to perform the procedure.

Kuya Rey Dominguez has been scheduled to undergo heart bypass surgery today at noontime.

Please lift your hands in prayer for him as he undergoes this very delicate procedure.  We are all here in Maryland, praying for him and Ate Glory.   We were told by everyone at the hospital that his surgeon is one of the top and best surgeons for this procedure.  All the Filipina nurses have assured us that his doctor will take care of him.

We offered prayers at the chapel this afternoon.   YOUR PRAYERS ARE GREATLY NEEDED, PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYER.

Thanks!
The Dominguez Family
