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!

I love stop motion videos. Two of my favorites are the Human Tetris and ESCP Europe Human Experience. Watch it and you will know what I mean.
Mashable however posted a list of Top Ten Stop Motion Videos on YouTube. My two favorites didn’t make the cut however but I will be viewing these ten videos in a while.
Woohoo!

Outdoor fun is my other entry.
Scrapbooking is fun, if not perceived as a challenge to one’s creativity for creating cool photos more interesting. It is expensive too, for not only one needs to buy different papers but varied embellishments too. Yes, and there is this thing about storage.
Good thing there is digital scrapbooking.
Sure, one buys stuff too but there are sites that offer free digital scrapbook “services” like Scrapblog.com (an online digiscrap site, where I made the page below) and Shabby Princess, a site where one can download free kits.
This is a bigger photo of that bright sunshiny sunflower.
Now, one can make pretty digiscrap pages easily. Hurry and visit the sites and make wonderful digiscrap pages! 
Happy Photo Hunting!

Yeah, I need to upgrade the laptop memory soon. Or I need a new laptop.
There are several applications we want to install in my laptop and the memory is not up to it. Particularly video and audio editing programs as well as CADD programs.
The children also want to play more games other than their current favorite so hubby was even considering getting a new pc for their use. But then again, when we are out of the house, they take over our laptops like aliens taking over the world
