instagram | I am Danny Foo

As an avid photographer, Instagram is one of the mobile apps I gotta have in my phone. Deemed an Asian thing, I take pictures of food to prevent friends from eating first and make those who aren’t present more hungry. 😛

One fine day, I accidentally turned off the Facebook sharing on my Instagram and I couldn’t get it to work again. At first, whenever I tried to click on Facebook after I took a picture, the app crashed. -_-

Then, I tried other options like resetting the privacy and network settings. I guess you could say it was closer to a solution, but now all I get was this message.

When I checked my privacy settings as the instructions hinted, there wasn’t any applications in Facebook. WTF. Even after restarting and reinstalling the Instagram app, there wasn’t any difference. -_-!

So I turned to Uncle Google for a solution. I came across what I thought would’ve been ‘the’ solution. It was to login to my Facebook on the desktop, go to the Instagram app and click on the Send to Mobile.

Instagram App Centre — Clickety click on the blue button

After I did that, I received a notification on my phone and thought “Hooray, it’s fixed”. I was wrong. -_-!!

So I continued looking to Uncle Google for answers and I found my solution from a user who posted this in the Apple forums and as a comment in another blog.

What he advised was to:

Go into Settings.
Go to Facebook.
Click on your username.
Hit Delete account – don’t worry, this does not delete your account on Facebook.
Now, launch your Instagram and set the Facebook sharing settings.

The moment I reached step 5, I knew this was my answer because the Facebook application switched places to ask my permission to allow postings from Instagram. YES!

I hope this helped you if you accidentally disabled your Facebook sharing settings as well.

Y’know you’ve to lose weight the moment you see a bulge. But most of the time, what happens is we think about it and not do it. Well, now that Ariel’s started work, I get up earlier in the mornings to drop her off and this has given me extra time to spend. Otherwise, I’d normally just wake up and start work in front of my computer.

So taking this opportunity, I’ve started a routine of walking around my park rather than on the treadmill. After all, why walk on that when I can actually walk outside – which I rarely do.

And here’s what the outside looks like in the mornings

It’s really amazing what you’d notice when you slow down once in awhile.

I’m in definite need of some conditioning again after not following a training schedule for so long. Even my legs feel wobbly after walking for just 2 days.

More importantly, I hope this regular routine with healthy eating would bring down the kilograms. Target; lose the freaking bulge!

P.S.: All photos taken with iPhone 3GS and Instagram. 🙂
