Apple iPhone5s and iPhone5c Craze

Okay, I am excited to get my iPhone5s in the mail but then again, I was in disbelief seeing the people all lined-up since midnight just to get a hold of the dream phone. Well, it has always been like this every time Apple product has a new series of iPod, iPad and iPhone. Nothing shocking about it! In this generation, Apple craze is a reality! There is nothing wrong to get it especially when people works hard and saves money to get the iPhone5c or iPhone5s. It all depends on the individual's priority. As long as you can afford to get it, why not right? If you can afford it but, you are not materialistic and to own an iPhone5c or iPhone5s is not your priority, I salute you! The need to save that hard earned money to pay the bills, to pay the daycare, to pay the mortgage, to pay the car payments and all, that is a noble act as a parent and I admire you for that. God bless your heart.

My phone for three years is Blackberry Bold and I love it. Just few months ago, I noticed that I find it hard to read the messages on my iPhone. The letters are blurry so I used a magnifier LOL. To make the story short, I need a phone with bigger screen. I have another smart phone, the HTC but, I do not like it. It is very slow. The solution for me is to upgrade my phone to Apple iPhone5s.
My husband cannot wait for the iPhone5s so; he decided to get the iPhone5c besides, it is offered to him for free so; he grabbed the opportunity. I told him to wait and order the iPhone5s instead but, he doesn't want to pay $99 for down payment. I guess it what he want. He was using a Motorola flip phone for 7 years LOL. Yes, it is time to upgrade and catch up the trend.

Apple iPod Touch 5th Gen: Brilliant Gadget

I bought an Apple iPod Touch awhile back and I did not enjoy using it so; I gave it to my brother. Besides, I have an iPad2 already so; I can do so much more with it such as music download and Social Media purposes. I don't miss it a bit! Now, iPod Touch comes up with 5th Generation and I am contemplating to buy or not. What caught my attention is the available color aside from it's brilliance of course. I prefer yellow and pink ... I was hoping to get a yellow-green or peach but, they don't have it.

Right now, Apple iPod Touch 5th Gen is on sale in most stores in the US ... like $20 lower if I buy it in Apple.com. The good thing if I buy it in Apple, I will get free engraving and free shipping until December 21. During Black Friday, Apple.com offers discount but, I was hesitant to order at that time. Too bad, if I order this gadget anytime this week, I will not get any discount. Come what may ... I might or I may not buy it.

Have Mrs. Smith's Signature Deep Dish Pies for the Holiday

This post brought to you by Mrs. Smith's. All opinions are 100% mine. Last Friday, I received 5 Free Coupons of MRS. SMITH'S® Deep Dish pies and a gift card of Williams-Sonoma worth $50. I went to Wal-Mart Supercenter but, they run out of stocks. Mrs. Smith's Signature Deep Dish pies must be "sought-after" for the holiday right? I thought so too. 

We spent about half an hour to find the signature deep dish pies and we finally saw the product at the frozen aisle in Publix. There's only two available pies: the Signature Deep Dish Dutch Apple Pie with Caramel Sauce and Signature Deep Dish Cherry Pie with Butter Fudge Sauce. Apple Pie is my favorite so; yesterday, I baked the delicious signature deep dish dutch Apple Pie with caramel sauce.

After baking, I sprinkled the raisins at the top and soaked the pies with caramel sauce. It tasted heavenly and my husband became a new fan of Mrs. Smith's Signature Deep Dish pies. I think the Apple Pie will be my favorite in Mrs. Smith's Signature Deep Dish pies.

The Signature Deep Dish Dutch Apple Pie with Caramel Sauce is a beautiful pie already so; I simply customized it by adding raisins to give a texture on every bite. The caramel sauce is sweet but not overpowering. You should try it.

Would you like to have FREEBIES? Glad that you came by today because I am hosting a giveaway called "AmiableAmy's Christmas Giveaway".  All you have to do is to follow Mrs. Smith's on Facebook and Pinterestplus more details are posted in the giveaway link.

The Safari of my IPAD2 was Frozen

When it comes to problems relating to gadgets and technology, I am not well-rounded. In fact, I have no formal training with computers. The irony is that I work online. So, every time I encountered problems, I have to ask help from my brother overseas or, refer to the manual. Just a while ago, the Safari of my iPad2 was frozen and I do not know what caused it. I surf online and look for a thread with same problem as I have. I was so thankful to find three options:
1.) I open the SETTINGS and click on the SAFARI. I did try clearing the data in my Safari's cache, cookies, and history but, not successful. Every actions I made, it won't move.

2.) Then, I tried closing the Safari completely and then re-open it. I did click the home screen, double-click the home button to bring up the task bar. I press and hold any apps on the task bar until they start shaking, press Safari app to close it. I also followed to touch any part of the screen above the task bar so as to stop the shaking and close the task bar. Not a good help.

3.)The third option is a reset so, I press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for few seconds and ignore the red slider. The Apple logo appeared and it closes the screen. I read that I will not lose any content so, I tried the last option. It works fine! I was so relieved! This option is the reboot for iPad2.

My iPad2 works fine! I hope you can fix yours easy. Good Luck!
