Tell Me What Tuesday: What Laptop Brand Do You Use?
A brand new laptop is one of my top must-have gadgets when I started dreaming designing my home office. However, the year’s almost over and I haven’t even decided yet what brand with what specs to get!
When typhoons Lando and Mina went Fujiwara’ing, can’t help but worry a great deal about my work. I can sense that series of brownouts everyday or so are about to happen. And guess what? I haven’t heeded Gab’s suggestion yet about getting an inexpensive generator. So I believe I could at least get myself an extra and more useful tool to extend my online presence and probably help me get a feel of my new goal – mobile working.
Although I’m dying to, I won’t be able to buy it asap because of some financial trouble that I’m praying hard to get over and done with within this week. But by hook or by crook, I’m sure I’ll be able to gift myself with one on my birthday. Haha!
So dear walk-in visitors, email and RSS feed subscribers and passersby from search engines, would you mind telling me about your laptop brands and their specs? What would you recommend for a writer/virtual assistant like me?

Tell Me What Tuesday: How Do You Make the Most Out of the Holiday Seasons as a Home Based Worker?
Although our home’s still not decorated with any of the generic holiday trimmings, I can definitely smell Christmas in the air. The Yuletide season is just about a month away!
For office peeps, the holidays is the time to be merry and take some rest from the daily grind of the corporate world. There’s this thing that they call holiday break, remember?
But for freelancers and entrepreneurs, it’s time be merry not because we can finally have some time to rest. ‘Tis the season to be jolly since this is when we get the most projects or orders.

How to Make oDesk Keep You Busy AND Earning
This whole week I’ve been busy with a number of Instant messenger interviews, fixing some content writing problems, and some project planning.
I don’t want to elaborate on the bad part of my week so I’ll just focus on the good part – lovely new projects! After less than two months of bidding on projects, I was able to win five, which I think is not too bad because one of the clients is sending me tasks to work on almost every week. Also, I now have this new recurring task that’s rekindled my obsession with forums.
Ok I know, I know you’ve now had enough of my bragging…
Most of these new projects are from oDesk buyers. I recently won a few fixed price projects and some hourly rate projects. Most of them involve content writing and online marketing. So this is for new oDesk providers planning to offer content writing and/or Internet marketing projects, particularly search engine optimization (SEO).
What is the formula to gain some clients through oDesk? Aside from some luck, these are definitely going to help you win some projects:

One is this blog marketing project, which I all invite you take part in. Other projects require more of my time although I consider them as think jobs.
Please bear with me. Hopefully next week I can continue posting regularly.
