Blog on the go

I have 2 blogger apps - BlogPress and BloggerPlus.  They are both mobile blogging apps, where you can compose blog anywhere.  I first bought the BlogPress but contrary to others feedback, I wasn't happy with it.  I don't like the quality of the image when I check my post done with the app in PC - the quality is poor.  Then I found the BloggerPlus, I was really satisfied with the features and I've used this to all my posts since all my images were all iPhone shots.  It doesn't crash and posting is fast.  Most importantly, I like the settings / options under image, just refer to the screenshots as this apps can do anything.

Reminder app with a snooze

I find Easy Reminders so user friendly.  It is very simple to use and you can add your reminders with just a few steps.  I like the snooze function.  There's other reminder app with added features that I also like, the Alarmed - Reminders, Timers, Alam Clock but I find it more time consuming though it is still a user friendly app. 

Try both and see for yourself.  Anyways, both apps are free. 

Birzzle: Ice Break

Birzzle update: 

So this is how the Birzzle Ice Break looks like...

 

Impression: its not that interesting to me compare to the the first so I don't feel like playing the version.  And with the time constraint, I thought it is quite challenging.  Well, I really enjoyed unlocking the Ice Break.  It was really addictive!

Birzzle

My addiction for the week, Birzzle! Its fun and addictive. I like the visuals and sounds.  I like everything in it.  I just can't seem to stop 'til I reach level 20 to unlock the extra game for the iPhone version.  I hope they would update it and lower the level :P

My family plays this too. We play it via iPad, iTouch, and iPhone. Worth the purchase!

Health & Fitness Apps

What health and fitness apps do you use in your iPhone?  I only used two apps for health and fitness and both are free.

Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker by My FitnessPal

This helps me monitor my calories and what I eat. I would know how much should I eat.  And if ever I crave, I can adjust my meal plan and making sure that I will not exceed to my calorie goal for the day.  I can log my meal right away even when I’m out.  

It’s really nice to plan your meal ahead.  Though it’s not that easy finding the exact food that I’m eating, still there are choices that I can just use as my guide.  And I’m taking the highest calorie count if ever.  I hope in their updates, they would come up with more food database, especially Asian meals.  More so,  I can also keep track my activities that somehow helps me lose calories.  I can customize my exercise if any.   I would know my progress about my weight and measurements.  And most of all, I would know if I maintain a regular diet plan for weeks I would know my weight in a month or so.  When this app was new to me, I was actually not that serious.  Like a month ago, I missed to record my meal for days and don’t monitor my calorie goal and eating more, exceeding 1200.  This month, I saw results for a week, seriously logging my every meal and sticking to my goal, it worked.  It was not that fast but I know I’m losing pound.  So much so, this app is so good, overall I recommend this free app. Just visit the App Store for more details.

LiveRun

Another free app that is recommended for weight watchers out there. You might also want to try the Live Run app.  This time it will track your runs and there’s reward as well.  It works thru GPS, before you start running like while warming  up, you need to open the app first and wait for the GPS since it will take for a few minutes to work.  It is so easy to use and have simple features that I need for my run.  I’ve tried other free apps but I found them complicated to me.  And I can say Live Run is accurate.  Awesome for a free app.  Just visit the App Store for more details.  Please note though that Live Run is only limited to Singapore only.  

Project Gingerbread Cookies

My daughter’s been buzzing me to bake gingerbread cookies.  She was suggesting me to bake gingerbread man cookie since the day she saw me playing the apps from my phone.  I’m addicted to these games.

About the game, the first Oven Break is the free version.  I don’t know why I cannot search anymore on App Store about this lite version.  Anyways, I really enjoyed playing this apps.



The full version is the OvenBreak-Infinity.  This cost $0.99.  But I got it for free.  They were on sale few weeks ago, yay! 



Fine, enough for the apps. 

My daughter bought the cookie from the mall over a week ago and she really liked it.  That’s the time I decided to look for the other ingredients which I don't have and do it.  I'm lacking molasses and ground cloves.  I didn’t know it was hard to find.  I've been hopping several grocery stores and getting nowhere so I tried to search for an alternative.  The molasses needed for the recipe is in liquid type, this is the only liquid from the ingredient.  I’ve read there’s no best alternative, but others were suggesting to use dark corn syrup but the taste will not be the same – cookie will be more sweeter and spicy flavor will come out, something like that.  For the ground cloves, the stores that I've been to only sells whole cloves. 

Days had passed, just remembered to ask my neighbor-friend who also bakes if she have molasses.  Fortunately, she have it at her home, yay!!



Since I already have molasses, decided to buy the whole cloves instead and just let the grinder works.

 

By the way, this is my gingerbread man and other holiday cookie cutter that my hubby bought from Ikea.



I’ve made the dough this evening.  I put in fridge and have to wait overnight.  My kids are already excited because they want to do the cutting of the dough.  I will post the outcome of our cookie soon.
