A Story of A Neophyte Aspiring IT - How to be you po?

I know we are all in this era of self-providing information.

What do I mean?

Kung noong araw, "Ginugugol ko ang aking oras sa pag-aaral"...

Ngayon, "Ginu-Google ko ang aking pag-aaral"..

Funny right?

If you take it seriously, it seems that people nowadays including me are fine studying or researching almost everything using Google. Our Big Brother!

Sa office dati, me and my colligues are looking for or wanting a certfication for the benefit of work and self. 
But we could not afford it.. Maliit lang sweldo eh, minsan kulang pa..
So sabi ko, "Eh certificed naman tayo! GCE! (Google Certified Engineer)".. 
Magaling na yata tayong lahat sa pag-goGoogle lang ng any topics and questions in mind.

But that's not my point.

Let me tell you a real story sa isang Facebook Group..

A neophyte aspiring IT posted a question "May installer po ba ang Linux?", I'm not sure kung wala pa syang experience or just confused.
He said he wanted to use Kali Linux as a beginner. (Kali is for intermediate and advanced users, btw)
Some replied good information..
Some made short valid steps but it appeared to him as high level.
He had more questions..
And some told him to start with the Basics!

Google mo yan..

Most of the time, everyone is busy sa work, sa school or other projects.
They cannot always answer you right away.. And you need to get some time to research by yourself.
Then he asked for any links they can provide.. 
Apparently no one gave him a link.
At ang nakakalungkot pa, slightly bashed sya dahil nagtatanong na nga sya, hindi pa magalang. Sumagot s'ya ng hindi magagandang salita at nagmamayabang.

And an admin replied, "Pwede ka naman, magtanong pero malapit na kita i-kick dahil nagtatanong ka ng basic, pero mayabang ka sinasabi mo na may alam ka sa Kali, eh pang advanced users yon!"

Sad to say but it's the reality, you need to work on your own.
Learn by experience..
Learn by reading
Learn by mistakes..

Ang kagandahan lang, you have that determination to finish your course
You want it, because you need it.
Whether it needs a lot of time of learning, or costs you money. It's an investment.

We should really invest on education.

If you got stuck, ask again, why you need it.

But if you are an neophyte, you need to be:

• Aware of the group of people na busy at madami nang experience.
• Careful of your words
• Ask nicely and always listen to answers and carry them along
• Accept the answers and take it as challenge
• Always find resource before you ask, "hanggat maaari, na-google mo muna bago ka magtanong if stuck ka na"
• Always ready to learn, ask more!

Sa story kanina, sa taong iyon ay sana nakahanap sya talaga ng tamang source na matutulungan sya. 
Madali lang naman mag Google.. diba?

You are the best! I know that!

I hope you got something today. See you around next time!

P.S. Based on the story, tulad ka ba ni Neophyte na nagtatanong pero mayabang pa?  At kung ikaw naman ang may angking kaalaman, tulad ka ba din nila, or tutulungan mo si neophyte?

Let me know sa comments.

Ano Ang Dapat Malaman Sa IT Career? Career Guide To IT Wanna Be!

Bakit Madaming Gustong Maging IT Professional?

An introduction and guide to Information Technology from a non-IT education expert but an experienced IT professional.

Ang nilalaman ng artikulong ito ni Kuya Dijae ay batay sa kanyang experience at hindi masasabing accurate batay sa mga existing books at references ng mga experto and education masters. Ito ay para magkaroon ng realistic approach ang bawat indibidwal patungkol sa topic. Ang mga nakasaad dito ay pawang pag-aari at mula sa ideya ng manunulat at sa mga ilang references upang makatulong sa pagpapaliwanag. Kung may dapat I-correct at sa tingin ninyong dapat I-revise, please contact me via email at kuyadijae@gmail.com.

Ang tanong ng marami na "Ano ba ang I.T. o Information Technology?" at "Bakit Madaming Gustong Pumasok sa larangang ito?", ay madalas nating naririnig at nakikita sa mga pahayagan, social media, balita at maging sa mga nakapaligid sa atin. May mga bata, estudyante sa high school at college, mga magulang at mga mang-gagawa na maaaring may katanungang ito na isip at gustong malaman kung bakit nga ba madaming gustong maging IT professional.

Ano ba ang IT? Ang salitang ito ay gasgas na gasgas na sa atin, at may mga misconception at confusion sa mga ito, minsan ang alam lang ng tao sa IT eh nag-aayos ng computer, minsan naman programmer, minsan hindi talaga alam o naguguluhan. Medyo generalized kasi ang term o salitang ito kung hindi pa malinaw sa atin kung ano nga ba ang IT. Ang goal ko ngayon at tiyak ako na mag-lelevel-up ka sa pagbasa ng artikulo kong ito na introduction and guide to information technology for newbies and non-technical people, at maging sa mga nagbabalak at naghahanap ng career, ay magkaroon ka ng kaunting background, option, at swak na kaalaman para sa career, business, at buhay sa ilalim ng technology. Handa ka na ba? Talakayin natin ito sa pamamagitan ng paghimay-himay para hindi ka maguluhan.

Information Technology and Its Definition
Short History

Ang Information Technology o I.T. ay nagsimula pa noong 1940s at 70s at maging sa sinauna pang panahon kung saan ang tao ay unang nakapag-inscribe o communicate sa ibang tao gamit ang technology sa kanya-kanyang panahon. Pero hindi ko tatalakayin iyon dahil hindi naman ako historian (hehe). May mga milestone ang communication at computing, nagsimula ito sa Premechanical o yung mga drawings at symbols sa bato, tapos naging mechanical, electromechanical, tapos naging electronic. Sa maikling salita, nag-exist na ang information technology at nag-eevolve ito time by time dahil sa pangangailangan at demand ng tao.

Information Technology in Education

Naging popular ang IT pag dating sa education, lalo na kung ang topic ay kung ano ang kurso ng isang estudyante. Naging matunog ito sa ating bansa noong 2005 dahil sa demand ng trabaho sa ibang bansa. Dahil sa ganda ng offers ng mga kumpanya, dumami ang nag-enroll sa mga sikat na schools gaya ng AMA, STI at Mapua sa mga kursong may kinalaman sa technology. Ito ay ang mga gaya ng BSIT (Bachelor of Science in Information Technology), BSCS (Bachelor of Science in Computer Science) at ang Computer Studies. Pero mostly, ang mga bata ay nahuhumaling sa IT dahil ito ang madalas na nababanggit at nai-rerecommend sa kanila.

Sa mundo ng education, sumasabay ito sa pagmo-modern ng technology. Mas dumadami ang courses, tumataas ang level ng subjects, at dumadami ang demand ng mga companies na maka-equip ng professionals na graduate sa mga universities at colleges. Dahil dito, mas kinakailangan ng mga schools na maihanda ang mga students sa future. Sa kasalukuyan, ang mga schools ay updated na din at may mga online courses na silang available. Karamihan naman ay gumagamit na ng online enrolments at student records. Lahat ng mga ito, IT ang backbone, kung mas kailangan ng schools, teachers at universities ang pagmodernize ng kanilang system ay mas kailangan ng students ang modern technology sa education para sa kanilang kinabukasan sa Information Technology.

Kung estudyante ka, at nagbabalak mag-enroll at matuto about Information technology, ipag-patuloy mo lang ang pagbabasa hanggang sa katapusan para mas maging malinaw sa iyo ito. Samantala, narito ang maaari nyong maging gabay at reference kung anong kurso ang nais o dapat ninyong pasukin.

Courses in the Philippines related to Computer and Technology (as of 2016)

1. Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS)
2. Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) or (BSICT)
3. Bachelor of Science in Information Systems (BSIS)
4. Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCpE)
5. and more...

How To Building Your Own PC

In my previous article on Computer 101: Basic Computer Knowledge by Kuya Dijae, we discussed the basic parts of a computer and because many are asking me how do I buy and build my own PC, this next article will guide you and give you foundation on how to build your own PC.

 Even with so many handy gadgets like laptops, android phones, smart phones, tablets, etc., we cannot deny that a desktop computer is a must for every person and every home. It is still the most reliable and indispensable tool for all technological needs. Bulky it may be, but it is the fast and sturdy. Of course, it depends on the components of your computer still. Nowadays, there are so many high-end personal computers that choosing one is so difficult, considering the price also. If you don’t have enough budget for a commercial personal computer, there are ways. One of them is to build your own.

Build your own computer? That may sound crazy for non-IT or computer science people, but it is possible as long as you are given the best guidance. Most gaming addicts actually customize their own computer to adapt to their needs and type. There are a lot of guides as well as sellers online providing needs for custom built laptops and computers.

The first thing to remember before building your own computer and laptop is your budget. You don’t want your custom built laptop to be performing less than a commercial built one. You may look up the internet for estimated costs for a custom built pc or check the prices of the parts you want. It is also important to determine whether the parts are available locally. International shipping will take more time and with more risks for damages.

Next is to know what part you want to change or upgrade. Are you a PC gamer? Or just a computer aficionado that wants the fastest performing laptop in the world? How to build or customize your computer will depend on your wants and preferences. The common parts to look after are the motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, power supply, and CPU cooler. PC gamers will typically go for hardware parts that will give the best graphic resolution and optimal-in-game performance. Usually, we opt for the most affordable. However, always consider that almost all software are upgrading every now and then. Consider a gaming rig that will last up to ten years, preferably, so that you will not have to worry for games that will only play at 3060p or even higher.
Finally, learn how to build your personal computer or laptop. It’s not as easy as opening the case and guessing which part inside it looks similar with. We’re not saying that you need an expert, because that will need additional payment. The most reliable guide is the internet. Look for a tutorial, a blog post or even a YouTube video to help you. You might need testing the part before using it. Also, plan before you build. Make a sketch or framework for your gaming PC that will ensure the durability and performance. There will be wires needed in order to connect the parts to the power supply, so make sure these wires will be safe. Remember also that you might need soldering or pasting the parts together, so look for recommended adhesives that will do the job.

To sum up, always consider your preferences. Building PC needs something that will make you comfortable, convenient and most of all cost efficient.

So if you are ready to build your own computer and you think this things I've just told you will help you, give it a like, share and comment below.

Journey In Becoming A Successful Entrepreneur

Sa paghahanap ko ng iba't-ibang way para kumita ng extra income gaya ng previous article ko about 8Share, ay nakita ko ang napakaraming offers, nariyan ang lottery, buy and sell, internet marketing, affiliate marketing, vlogging or yung magpo-post ka ng videos sa Youtube, network marketing, MLM, outsource or home based jobs, freelancing, at marami pang iba.

Kaso teka, sabi ko “grabe sobrang dami nito, parang ang hirap gawin at tsaka ang daming papag-aralan tapos baka masayang lang time ko at pera dito. Syempre may trabaho din ako na 8-5pm na dapat kong asikasuhin tapos may pamilya din akong dapat paglaanan ng oras”.

 Kaso diba? Naiisip natin bakit kaya yung iba eh kaya nilang i-manage ang work at businesses nila? Bakit kapag papasok sa negosyo kelangan talaga ng capital or puhunan? Aba may nakita ka bang negosyong walang puhunan? Cge nga? hehe biro lang. Pero totoo diba? Kahit pagod mo at oras ay puhunan din at kung may pangarap ka at goal sa buhay eh gagawin mo talaga ang isang bagay na may sakripisyo o minsan eh, buwis buhay! Wag yung buwis buwaya a? Hehe

Mahirap din ang mag-research mag-isa, mahirap ang magtiwala sa mga tao na sinasabing "kikita ka dito!" o "yayaman ka dito" o 'di kaya "mabilis ang kitaan dito". Maliban na lang siguro kung may malaki akong pera para mag-simula ng franchise like Mcdo, Jollibee, Mang Inasal o Dunkin' Donut at iba pa e malamang kikita ako ng malaki. Kaso noong nag-inquire ako sa mga business loan banks tapos nakausap ko ang mga financial advisers at business advisers, hindi madali ang mag franchise, una malaki ang puhunan, pangalawa 2-3 years ang return of investments or ROI, pangatlo ang income mo ay depende sa strategic location, siguro mga 200k-500k per month na ang average na kinikita nila (correct me if im wrong). Puwede na diba?

Kaso sabi ko, "wala akong ganung kalaking pera at parang hindi kakayanin ng time ko, at kung gawin ko to, hindi ko pa kayang umalis sa work ko, paano kung mag fail o di ko magawa?".

Hindi ba tanong mo di yun? Malamang pareho tayo. Ang pagnenegosyo daw ay isang malaking desisyon na may kaukulang risk factor at dedikasyon sa mga maaring mangyaring mabuti at di mabuti, yan yung pagkalugi at pag-asenso. Kung may nagbabasa na business expert dito ay maaaring sabihan ninyo ako na "Siguro dapat malaman mo muna kung ano ang plan mo at magkaroon ka ng business orientation at assessment". Tama po kayo, hindi ako experto sa pag-nenegosyo dahil hindi ko naman yun pinag-aralan. Isa po akong IT consultant at anong malay ko sa business. Kaya po ako nagsimulang sumulat ng artikulong ito upang maibahagi ko ang journey ko sa pag-nenegosyo.

Sa pasimulang ito ay maaaring makikita ninyo ang level ng kaalaman ko sa entrepreneurship. Tama! Si Kuya Dijae ay nagsisimula na sa isang seryosong bagay sa pagnenegosyo.

Sa atin bilang common people o ordinaryong mamamayan sa Pilipinas ay nabuhay at naturuan tayong mag-aral at makapag-tapos sa colehiyo at magkaroon ng magandang trabaho para umasenso sa buhay at buhayin ang pamilya at makabawi sa ating mga magulang na nagsakripisyo para tayo ay makatapos. Hindi po ito masama, hindi po ito isang failure dahil kung ginagawa natin ito na ang Dios natin ang nabibigyan ng luwalhati at para sa ating pamilya eh, isa itong magandang mithiin. Ngunit kung nais talaga nating magkaroon ng sustaining income at financial freedom, nalaman ko na ang 8-12 hours na trabaho natin ay hindi sapat pero "posible ah? (kung maging CEO at presidente ka ng company) para maging wealthy. Lalo na dito sa Pinas, relate? :) Dahil sa ordinaryong organisasyon, tayo, bilang mang-gagawa ay nagtatrabaho para sa boss ng boss ng boss natin, hindi ba? Ang opportunity natin o ang pagpupursigi natin sa trabaho para ma-promote o madagdagan ang sweldo ay nakasalalay sa performance, stability ng company, income ng company, ekonomiya, at minsan kung nagustuhan ka ng boss mo o may-ari ng company. Malaki o maliit na income natin ay minsan parang di sapat dahil kung itutumbas sa international standards na income ay hindi ganoon kalebel ang kita natin sa laki o mahal ng mga bilihin at standard of living. Bawasan mo pa ng TAX, at government mandatory benefits at pamasahe, pagkain, pangbayad ng bills, bahay at mga bilihin sa bahay at iba pa. Tapos may gusto ka pang bilhin na hindi naman kailangan. Aba dapat siguro matuto ka muna ng tamang pag-bubudget.

Teka kuya, may gusto ka bang i-promote? O ituro sa pagnenegosyo? Teka lang din po, diba ang title ko ay Journey in becoming a successful entrepreneur?

So ang gusto ko ay mabigyan ang bawat isa ng ideya sa tulad kong gustong makamit ang financial freedom sa pagnenegosyo. Again, isa po akong ordinaryong mang-gagawa na gustong kumita ng extra income na part-time at maaaring maging full time. Dahil sa nakita kong magandang opportunity sa tinahak kong business, hindi ko din alam kung paano ito sisimulan na i-share. Sinulat ko ito upang makita at marecord ko din ang progress sa pagpapalago sa desisyon naming pamilya sa isang napakagandang business.

Ito ang mga Top 10 qualifications ko at mga tanong na nasa isip naming mag-asawa sa pagsisimula ng negosyong tinatahak tinahak namin.

1.       Anong uri ng business ang puwede nating masimulan at kayang i-manage part-time at hindi nanga-ngailangan ng malaking puhunan?

2.       Alam nating ang pera ay nakukuha sa SALES, ano kaya ang magandang ibenta o produktong may halaga sa atin at sa iba?

3.       May benepisyo ba ang produktong mapipili natin sa mga consumers?

4.       Anong sistema ang pinakamaganda at epektibo na maaari nating ipagpatuloy at paghirapan na marangal at hindi makakasama sa kalusugan, dangal, pamilya, kaibigan at sa ating bansa? (ibig sabihin ay hindi dapat illegal).

5.       Anong produkto ang mapagkakatiwalaan natin na hindi tayo mapapahiya?

6.       Anong future ang puwede nating makuha sa negosyo na magiging financially free at hindi kukuha ng malaking time sa ating family bonding, relationship sa Dios at socialism?

7.       Anong negosyo ang maaari ding maipasa sa ating mga anak at pamilya para din sa kanilang kinabukasan?

8.       Anong sistema din ang magpapanatili sa atin na maging masipag, matiyaga, pursigido, maka-inspire sa iba at makatulong sa iba.

9.       Yung hindi pera pera lang, pero may value na makukuha at may personal development.

10.   Anong negosyo ang magbibigay sa atin ng masaya, productive, valuable, self-sustaining, passive income, memorable, sharable experience at easy to do na gawain araw-araw?

Marahil ang mga ito ay maaari mo ding gawing batayan pero hindi naman sapilitan o kailangang gayahin. Ito'y nabuo lang sa isipan naming mag-asawa para sa aming anak at future. Sa patuloy pang pagsasaliksik ng mga success stories ng mga successful entrepreneurs at business man, aking iss-share ang mga ito sa bawat artikulo ni Kuya Dijae kung saan maaari ninyong matutunan at i-apply sa buhay at plano sa pagnenegosyo.

Samantala, nagsimula na kami sa isang negosyong naging swak sa mga katanungang ito. At handa na akong harapin ang challenges at hardship na pwedeng maranasan sa tulong ng Dios. Gusto nyo ba akong samahan sa Journey kong ito?

Gusto nyo malaman kung anong negosyo ang patok, swak at safe ang meron kami ngayon? May plano ka din bang magnegosyo at magkaroon ng maraming time sa Dios, Family at Friends?

Kung oo? Aba sundan nyo po ang series na ito na Journey in becoming a successful entrepreneur ni Kuya Dijae. Sa susunod ko pong artikulo, malalaman ninyo ang step by step at sagot sa Top 10 qualifications of a good business ni Kuya Dijae.

10 New Tips to Be Efficient in Using the Internet

These browser-keyboard-mouse techniques made my computer skills better from a student to an IT professional and somehow got me writing cool PC stuffs and how-to.

I was using these methods since Google Chrome was released way back. So I thought I would share this to you too. If you already know these, I hope at least in one point, a new knowledge may benefit you.

1. Using URL to QRCode in Browser as Plugin. This helps you to scan the URL via QRcode generated using your smartphone or tablet to open instead of typing a bunch of gibberish URLs.

2. Using Incognito mode or Private browsing (CTRL + SHIFT + n) to test or login a different account at the same time. This can also serve as browsing invisibly to protect you from account theft in public places. Just to remind, you can't find any history on this mode.

3. Using filters in Gmail or Yahoo to prevent having 10,000+ emails on your inbox.

4. Using Cloud drives such as Dropbox, GDrive or Onedrive to easily attach, share, and keep small to large files without worrying you disk space and having USB drives or even email attachment limitations. Most of all, you are worry free to lose everything. Create now by clicking on the links above.

5. Using these cool mouse and keyboard shortcuts on your Google chrome.

- Use middle key (scroll key) on your mouse to close the selected tab.
- Use also the scroll key to close a selected window tab.
- Use CTRL + T to open new tab.
- Use CTRL + W to close current tab
- Toogle between tabs by CTRL + {1,2,3,4,0(as last)}
- CTRL + SHIFT + W to close all tabs
- CTRL + SHIFT + T to open previously closed tab.
- Use scroll key to a link to open to a new tab.

6. View your browsing history anywhere by going to http://google.com/history

7. Understand that the use of SHIFT is to reverse (or to go back) most of the keyboard commands. Try CTRL + TAB, vs CTRL + SHIFT + TAB. See the difference.

8. Use WINDOW + "+" to use magnifying glass to view details of page, Window + Esc to quit. This is also helpful in presentation like Powerpoint to zoom small images.

9. Or just use CTRL + "+"/"-" to increase/decrease font sizes or adjust page size. CTRL + 0 to revert back to normal size.

10. Highlight a text or group of texts and click+drag it to the top bar to let google search for it.

Simple right?

That's it for now folks! More tips from Kuya Dijae are coming.

Solving Rubik's Cube In Under 1 Minute (Tagalog Basic Tutorial)

You might know this puzzle already, dahil matagal na ito nag-exist, or dahil sumikat ito nitong past 10 years sa Pilipinas mula sa mga bata, high schoolers, college students or even professionals na nafe-feature sa TV, newspapers at maging sa mga contests sa bansa at international.

Naalala ko pa nung college ako kung saan nagsimula akong maglaro nito. Naisipan ko kasing mag-karoon ng skill every summer sa student life ko. Sinimulan ko syempre maghanap sa Youtube kung paano ito laruin at paano mai-solve. Noong una nakita ko mga tutorials ni Dan Brown until na-realize ko na nakabuo na pala ako. Tapos, tinry kong pag-aralan ng mas mabuti para makabisado ko ito. Hanggang nakapag-solve ako ng under 1 minute! Aba at tuwang-tuwa ako syempre dahil noong tinuruan ko din mga classmates ko sa Engineering specifically sa batch ko sa Compute Engineering sa University of Perpetual Help Main, nagpapa-unahan kami sa pag-solve. Syemrpe ang inyong lingkod ang nananalo LOL. Maing ang pinaka-malupet naming Prof na si Engr. Angel Maderal eh, naki-join na din!

Sumali din ako sa mga groups ng mga cubers sa south lalo na sa Las Pinas at cavite. Simula noon naging regular ang tagpuan na tinatawag na Cube meet. Paminsan, kasama din ako sa Manila Cube Meet na pinapangunahan pa noon ng PCA or Philippine Cubers Association. Simula noon, mas madami akong natagpuan na magagaling, mahuhusay, friendly, at masayang kasama din lang sa pag-ccube kundi maging sa mga ibang puzzles. At dahil doon, naisipan kong gumawa ng basic tutorial on how to solve the rubik's cube. I tried to make it simple and easy to understand that most Filipino na Tagalog speaking ay magbe-benifit at matuto sa tutorial ko. For over 100,000+ on a single Youtube video na Tutorial ko, sumikat ito at madami na ang nagtuto at natuwa. Ako din po ay natutuwa sa mga tao at followers ko na kayo'y natuto at karamihan ay mas mabibilis na sa akin. Isang karangalan ito para sa akin!

You can try searching for "Rubik's Tagalog Tutorial" in Google at ang aking video ang lalabas sa result. It means ito po ang pangunahing pinapanood ng mga kababayan natin para matutong mag-solve ng Rubik's Cube, at hindi lang para masolve, kundi para mabuo ito in under 1 minute. Convincing diba? You need to try din dahil maging ako natuto sa ganitong paraan at ang paraan na ito ay subok na at isa sa mga una at sikat na method by Fridrich (CFOL) sa pag-solve ng 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube na ginawa ni Mr. Erno Rubik.

Kudos to Dan Brown bilang inspiration ko para makagawa ng tutorial na ito. Panuoring nyo ang sinasabi kong Rubik's Cube Tagalog Basic Tutorial na nahahati sa tatlong (3) parts. Sana mag-enjoy kayo at matuto!

Pasensya na sa low quality video, matagal na kasi ito at kuha pa ito sa lumang phone ko dati. :)

A 17-Year-Old Pizza Delivery Boy Comes Home With A Porsche. How He Got It… Priceless

After a random reading, I saw a funny story of a pizza delivery boy who brought a Porsche to his house. For fun ready, check it below and tell me what you got?

A 17-year-old boy who works part-time at Pizza Hut drives up his parent’s driveway in a Porsche….
Naturally, his parents know that there’s no way he earned enough with his after-school job to buy such a car.

“Where did you get that car?” his mom and dad screamed in shock.
He very calmly tells them, “ I bought it today.”

“With what money young man?” his mom demands. “We know how much a Porsche costs and you cannot afford it”

“Well, it’s used and I Got a good deal” says the boy, “This one cost me 20 dollars.”

At this point, the parents don’t believe him and start yelling even louder.
“Who on earth would sell a car like that for 20 dollars?!”
“The woman up the street,” the boy replies.

“Name please?” Asked the mom
“I don’t know her name–she just moved in. She order a pizza and I delivered it to her and asked me if I wanted to buy a Porsche for 20 dollars.”

“Oh my gosh,” the mom moans. “She must be some sort of crazy. Who knows what she will do next? Tim, you go right up there now and see what’s going on.”

The boy’s dad and mom hurry over to their new neighbor’s house, ready to demand an explanation. Curiously, their new neighbor is calmly planting flowers in her front yard.

“I’m the father of the kid you just sold a sports car to for $20,” the dad says. “I need an explanation from you – ASAP!”

“Well,” the woman says, not looking up from her garden. “This morning I got a phone call from my husband. I thought he was on a business trip in Florida, but it seems he has run off to Hawaii with his secretary and doesn’t intend to come back.”

“What on earth does that have to do with selling our son a Porsche for $20?” The boy’s mom asks, utterly perplexed.

The new neighbor smiles very big, and pauses for a minute.

“Well, my husband asked me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money. So I did.”

Have you ever wanted to get a video from facebook? From your friend, or a page you like, or someone you don't know? You want to upload that video to your own so you could have many views when that video is somewhat viral or trending? Or maybe you want it to post to your Youtube channel or in your Blog?

This tutorial will simply let you download any videos in Facebook for re-uploading to your timeline, page or group. You don't need to embed someone else's video to post it on your Blog or page. Just follow these simple steps.

Requirements: You need a smartphone, though this tutorial on how to download videos from Facebook is targeted on Android smartphones only, you can freely drop any suggestions and share your tutorials for iOS or any other platform on the comment below.

✓ What you will need to start of is a Google account. This is for your Play Store access.

✓ You of course need a Facebook App installed on your Android device.

✓ And last but not the least, an internet connection. If you have problems with your internet connection, you can get a free internet on Allanyzer's tutorial at Free Internet Browsing Technique using Sun Cellular.

*Update: As of May 19, 2015, this part is not working as of this time according to the developer, since Facebook changes the API of video embed codes. But the good news is, it's now easier to download videos from SVD. Just follow along and go straight ahead on the NEW section below.

After you have decided which video to download, share the video and select to Only Me by clicking below the Share to Facebook. This is to put the sharing to private if you dont want it to be public for now. But if you like to share it to public and the same time download it, you can leave it default.

Then open Video Download for Facebook App and go to My Timeline Videos, inside here are the videos shared on your timeline either public, friends or Only Me.

 Select the video you shared and choose Download, the download will immediately start, it should be fast because it captures the converted video that Facebook had done.

And wallah! You now have the video from your friend, liked Page, or someone else's video! Share it now or use it on your Blog or Youtube channel!

NEW:

The app was renamed as Social Video Downloader from Facebook Video Downloader. 
After you download from the first steps above, and open the SVD app and you will see something like this. Follow along.

There is the "Explorer Mode" I'm talking about that is easier to download videos you want! How cool is that huh? Tap on that Menu.

And it will ask you to log-in to Facebook. Note that this is for the app to connect to your Facebook account so please be careful. Just follow their instructions. Also, you can browse to your newsfeed and pages just like the Facebook app. And it's free! Now, look for the video you want to watch or download and just hit Play button or tap on the video and it will ask you to download it.

After you tapped the video and chose to download, it will just download right away. But take note, the video is already compressed meaning, you will not get a quality video you want but I think it's ok. At least you can have it fast to keep. 

Congrats! 

Simple lang diba?
