Like with Twitter, I am also a late bloomer when it comes to using Instagram. I decided to create an account because I noticed that most bloggers as well as some of my friends use this social media also, aside from Facebook and Twitter, so I thought, it wouldn't hurt if I try to sign up, too. And what do you know, I am actually enjoying browsing pictures and videos of the people I follow. :-)
I have only been into it since February but I rarely post. For one, I feel shy. Haha! (But I'm slowly getting the hang of it.) Second, I am still in the learning stage. There are apps pala that I need to use together with it. I recently downloaded InstaPicFrame and InstaRepost.
The other day, I tried, for the first time, the video option. Of course, the star of the video is my son, Trev. Hihi!
Here are the first two vids I recorded and uploaded in my Instagram account.
Trev: "My name is Atreiu Vincent Cruz Gabaza!!!!!!"
Haha! Masyado lang todo bigay sa pagsabi ng name niya. :-P
Trev counting from 1 to 10. Like the first vid, feel na feel din niya. May "Yehey" pa siya before the video ended! Wahaha!
I was supposed to record another video, 11 to 20 naman, kaso he wasn't in the mood anymore. He'd start saying "eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen..." then he'd run! Haha!
Next time, next time. :-)
I am just wondering why the frame is black. I have seen quite a number of videos at Instagram but their frame was a snapshot of the video, not black. Hmm, I wonder why. Do you happen to know what I did wrong? Or do I have to use a separate app for this as well? :-)
Anyway, I hope my son somehow was able to entertain you with his vids. Haha!
Care to share more tips in using Instagram? I would love to know. Thanks! :-)
I've been using Instagram since last year pero hindi ko pa na try ang video posting hehehe... Ang cute ni Trev.
ReplyDeleteI have been using Instagram for sometime, sometimes flooding it especially if the pictures come from my iPad...for me, the easiest way to share it is through instagram, then Facebook is also included. I just appreciated using videos for my blogs a few days ago.... should try it for Instagram too!
ReplyDeleteI know you can share more videos of cute Trev using Instagram! It is very much fun and interesting to see videos...Looking forward to more!
ReplyDeletewow so cute! never tried to used instagram for video yet, I'm also late bloomer when it comes to twitter and instagram. I think I only have 20 followers hehehe. Going to add you Sis:)
ReplyDelete@all: thanks everyone!
Delete@Melgie: Same here, sis. I think I have a measly 20+ followers, too. Hihi! (Thanks to those who followed, I truly appreciate it!). Oh, I would love for you to do that, sis. I will follow you, too. I am actually shy to ask for you guys to follow me that's why I didn't mention it in the comment, but I would truly appreciate if you all do. Hihi! Will return the favor for sure. :-)
I never tried posting a video either, I rarely use my instagram though.
ReplyDeleteHi Trev! Galing naman. Sis ngayon ko lang nalaman yang may apps need sa Instagram na yan hehe... I rarely used my personal account e. I need another phone since ung momndadcrochet ang lagi nakalog in hehe. Paano ba yang sa insta video na yan. I know pwede pero wala ako makita options at natatamad akong maghanap kung paano, hehe.

Thanks, sis! haha, naku ako nga rin eh, lately lang, explore explore. :-) I rarely post pero pag nag-eexplore ako, ayan may ready model naman ako, si Trev. waha!
DeleteWala pa ako dinadownload na app for the vid eh, I wonder kung anung puwede. Ang ginawa ko lang para makapagrecord ng video, tap yung blue camera icon, then tap yung camcorder icon sa right side niya, pag naging red na yung mid icon, tap and hold lang to record video. 15 seconds kaya niya irecord. :-)
Yun lang, yung frame nung narecord ko, black. haha! yung iba kasi snapshot nung vid ang frame nila, haha. May di ata ako nagawa eh. hihi! Nangangapa pa. :-)
I'm also on instagram @racheldominiquegoh. My tip would be to have your own unique hashtag# which is your blog name or so for branding and to take note of which hastags to add to your pictures/vids so that it increases it's visibility.
ReplyDeleteIs Atreiu from the Never Ending Story? I have joined Instagram recently lang and I only have a few pixes there unless they are for opps hehe. I mostly follow celebs - chismis mode lang haha
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly, sis. It is from the movie Never Ending Story, hihi! Ako rin, I follow celebs and other mommy bloggers, too. Nakakatuwa rin pala ang Instagram. :-)
DeleteI do not have instagram since I do not own a smart phone but I would love to have an account there.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone when it comes to that social networking sites..I have an IG account pero di ko naa-update..I think I need an android tab or phone..kung magkaroon man baka december pa yun. hehehe
ReplyDeleteI used to have instagram. I love the photos being shared. Sa sobrang tagal ko ng hindi nagagamit, I didn't even know they got the video app!
ReplyDeleteI also have Instagram, but I'm not using it lately since I don't have a prepaid load most of the time (haha!), and we also don't a wifi. Trev is very articulate. Oh, Kristoff is whining to play Trev's counting video again.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you, sis. Kakatuwa naman si Kristoff, playmates sana sila if only magkalapit lugar natin, hihi! :-)
DeleteNaku Yuri enjoyed watching Trev's video talaga. 1-5 palang ang memorized nya hehe. He really enjoys watching kids' videos on Instagram lalo na yung vidoes ni Vito, son ni Frances Sales! :-)
ReplyDeleteang cute ni baby!!! hehe i think you should select the cover of the video before uploading it so it wouldn't be black :) keep on posting :)
