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 ______________.

Puppies

I heard about the girl throwing puppies in a running river. I saw a link leading to the site and decided to view the video. Ugh! It hurts to see the act of throwing these pups in the running water because I can hear them whimpering whenever she picks them up.

People who love animals wish for these pups to survive but with running water from that river, and seeing how the girl is wearing a jacket and gloves shows that that wish would not be granted.

Even people who get in that river would have a difficult time battling the cold and would probably end up in a hospital. Good for them if they have Medicare plans. But still…

The girl has been identified and arrested.

I hope this would happen too to people who catch dogs and eat them. And that goes to other people who torture animals.

i-Google Mo

“i-Google mo” or “Google it” is a common term in this household that is held hostage by the world wide web when it comes to knowing what the latest movie is all about including where it is available at what time, how to bake/cook something and where one can find a location we need to go to.

Not only that, I depend on the web to watch shows currently being shown half the world away (hello my favorite tv series) and listen to songs of my choice. I also get to watch the latest movies. My son and hubby can watch the livestream of racing events. My eldest daughter looks forward to reading the latest chapter of her favorite anime series. My youngest daughter learns to draw from video tutorials.

Would the time come when the hubby gets an 1U server at home should he decide to just work from home? I’m guessing it is going to be a yes since he wants to do that for the longest time.

I can’t imagine how everything will be if we are not connected.

Are you dependent on the net too?
