How to Make a Friends List on Facebook

I turn the chat button on my friends list on and off whenever I feel like it. Maybe some of my relatives are online so I check by turning on the button for “_____ relatives” list of friends.

Oops! However, if there is someone I don’t want to chat with that I see online (not necessarily from the relatives, LOL), I immediately switch off that chat button where the name belongs to. We’ll just probably chat next time I’m up to it 😉

So, what are the steps on how you can make a friends list on Facebook?

  • Click on the “ACCOUNT” button at the upper right corner of your facebook page. When this is clicked, a scroll down menu will drop down.

  • When the drop down menu goes down, click “EDIT FRIENDS”
  • When a new page opens, click the button that says “CREATE A LIST” and a smaller box will pop-up
  • Click “CREATE LIST” and the cursor will go to a box on the upper left side where you can encode the name of the list you want to use (e.g. neighbors, high school friends, cousins)

  • Once you encode a list’s name, choose who among your friends you would want in that list. There is no need to type the whole name, just the first three letters will help you choose members of this list OR just click on your friend’s name to be included in the list.

There, you have your friends listed in lists/groups, now it is easy to see who is online or not by clicking on the button of the list’s name IN THE CHATBOX.

Makapal

Meron na akong larawan para sa MAKAPAL ngunit dahil sa mga kaganapan kagabi gawa ng isang scraper ng teksto at larawan ng mga food bloggers, uulitin ko ang larawan na isang screencap na ginawa ko kagabi.

Makapal siya kasi nangne-nenok siya ng gawa ng iba. Tulad ng larawan ng pagkain ng yan, di niya yan niluto, nandito yun oh.

What a sham. What a shame.

UPDATE! nawala na ang kusinero blag ni kumag pero napakadami pala niyang Facebook fan page na puro ninenok din niya ang laman. the nerve talaga.

Beware of Scrapers

Early on, we have been taught that cheating is bad. It is bad and perhaps some or most of us have gone through the consequences of any cheating we may (or may not) have done.

Cheating is evil. It is synonymous with stealing, just as these two other words are synonymous with plagiarism.

Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as “the wrongful appropriation, close imitation, or purloining and publication, of another author’s language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions, and the representation of them as one’s own original work.”

Now there is this guy, a crappy scraper who started copying recipes AND photos of food bloggers some of whom I happen to know. No, I will not link his blog url here.

Proof. First time I encountered and had frozen Yakiniku beef, I looked for recipes in the net and I landed on this page.

Blog featured above had several entries copied by the scraper (whose url I will not post because it will give him more traffic).

I was so surprised to know that several of my friends’ recipes and photos were copied.

I can haz screenshots of this scraper’s FB fan page with a fan base of 900+ Merde! You’ve been had!

Grabe! Scrapers/plagiarists like you are also called ______________.

Yes, I Really Need a External Hard Drive

My hard disk drive has this:

Merde!

I need an external hard drive pronto! Or I may have to back up. And back up and back up more.

I miss those good old days when films were being used and that we get to see the photos as soon as these are developed. These days my children just look at photos in the computer and not in photo albums. Or that may be just us because we just have photos printed when needed for school projects 😀

Modernong Pagtuturo

Reading comprehension drills ang isa sa mga pinaka-importanteng objective ko sa aking pagtuturo. Hindi lang libro ang binabasa namin ng mga estudyante ko, pati mga print ads, newspaper articles at kung anu-ano (pang maisipan ko) pa. May mga pagkakataong gumagamit ako ng teknolohiya sa aking pagtuturo, tulad ng larawan sa ibaba:

reading comprehension

Ok ang teknolohiya sa pagtuturo, kung minsan nanonood kami ng short films sa YouTube tapos ina-analyze namin o kaya naman, naglalaro kami ng online games kasi interactive at talaga namang maraming matututunan ang mga bata.

Pero siyempre, iba din ang mayroong binubuklat na aklat di ba? O kaya kinukulayang larawan gamit ang krayons, hindi ang paintbrush na ginagalaw sa pamamagitan lang ng mouse.

Meron na din palang paraan para mahanap ang nawawalang latop o kaya naman para sa mga natatakot mawala ang mga laptop, pakibasa na lang dito.

Isa pang dapat malaman lalo na ng mga bata ay ang security pagdating sa teknolohiya pero siyempre, hindi ko na tatalakayin yun 🙂

Happy Huwebes at oo nga pala, Mabuhay ang ating bagong Pangulong NoyNoy! 🙂
