Online Safety
Two friends related how their emails (both from the same email platform) have been hacked. Of course, the one who hacked the email sent spam messages to their contacts.
Hubby’s email was almost compromised too, and yes, from the same services that the first two used.
So, if people get laptop insurance, they should also protect their email addresses (and files!) from being compromised to avoid phishing and becoming victims of identity theft.
Here are a few tips that might help on how to protect your emails from getting hacked:
- avoid predictable passwords like your birthdate, Social Security number, birthdates of your children, maiden names, name of spouse, wedding anniversary date (these information can be easily hunted down for the purpose of getting your account hacked)
- use letters and numbers and special characters in your passwords
- do not disclose your login details and passwords to others (maybe unless in dire emergencies)
- clear the cache or your browsing history if you are using an internet cafe
- NEVER click on links that seem suspicious
Be net savvy and safe!

Rainy Days Are Here
The nights are colder now and rarely do I hear the complaint “it’s hot” from people.The rains, torrential and like cats and dogs most of the time, just when the children are on their way home from school, are at times too much to handle.
To those living in higher altitude, I guess it is time to bring out those heated mattress pads. For us who are in the lowlands, we minimize the use of electrical appliances that make the rooms cool since there is a lot of cool air circulating around.
Every afternoon, strong rains beat down on us. A lot of people are getting sick because from morning till mid-afternoon the sun is shining so brightly but the rains come down from mid-afternoon till evening.
How can one prepare for the rainy days to avoid getting sick?
- Take plenty of vit c love, be these in tablet form or from fresh sources.
- Get enough sleep and eat the right kind of food.
- Bring your umbrella and/or raincoat and/or rain gear every time you step out of your house.
- Rest if you fell unwell.
- Consult a doctor for persistent cough, flu, fever and/or runny nose.

Press Release for 7-Eleven’s 500th store:
(Please click on the figure to enlarge)
The number “500” is a magical number for the world’s most popular convenience store chain. The opening of 7-Eleven‘s 500th store in Eton Centris in Quezon City marks, not only the steady growth and expansion of the brand locally, but also the chain’s loyalty to its promise to deliver excellent service and quality products to its consumers and franchisers. But the magic of the number 500 does not end there. In celebration of the opening of their 500th store, 7-Eleven also wants to give back to the Filipino community, who has remained faithful and staunch customers since the launch of its first store in 1984, with a special biking tour aptly named the 7-Eleven Tour 500. This inspiring advocacy was created to provide a safe and fun venue for biking enthusiasts of all ages (experienced and non-experienced bikers alike) to enjoy the world through two wheels, while helping those in need and the less fortunate by giving back to chosen charities. The company itself has its own group of experienced bikers who train and joins nationwide competitions.

Different menus will be served daily so you will never ran out of new dishes (with cheese) to try until the end of August.

Pssst…that piece of chili stuffed with cheese, breaded and crunchy, is THE bomb! Aptly so since it is called Cheese Dynamite. I absolutely love it!
