48 Hour Weekly Task

This week’s Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited weekly task is fun. The task of the six remaining housemates is to put on a 48 hour non-stop entertainment show. It has been two days now since their weekly task started and I find the show really entertaining and it helps me relieve my stress. I actually have a good laugh every time I watch the show. The housemates were involved in eating contests, gaming, dancing, singing, cooking, acting and a lot more.

Biggel, especially is so funny. He is good at beatboxing too. He, Tin and Pamu, known as team bukid or bukid kids, won the Jag and Sony contests. In the Jag contest they won DSLR cameras and in the Sony contest they won Sony internet TVs.

My New Toy

I am enjoying my new toy. My hubby finally bought me a laptop. I did not expect that he would buy me one before the Christmas. This also is a remembrance from my blogging. I really enjoy the convenience of having a laptop and get connected to a wireless internet. Having a laptop gives me the ability to continue to work on my blogs while in the living room watching a movie with my hubby.

It is an Acer Aspire 17.3 inch. It has a quad core processor with 500GB SATA hard drive and 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM system memory (expandable to 8GB). It has a built-in megapixel HD web cam and an HDMI port.

We were window shopping for laptops and by far this was a very good deal. We bought it from our nearby Walmart for only $448.

Trip to Illinois

I was able to finish blogging all of the tasks that were assigned to me before taking a trip to Illinois. I will be offline for two or three days. I don’t have a laptop so I can’t take my work with me. I didn’t want to let the tasks expire. It was not much but every little bit counts. I still have nine pending tasks but they can wait until I get back because they will not expire until the 15th.

We will be leaving early in the morning so that we can get there on time for visitation. My hubby and I will be staying at a motel in the area where the funeral will be for my hubby’s uncle. That way we don’t have to spend a lot of time traveling back and forth to his brother’s house. My brother in-law offered us a room at his place but my hubby decided to get a motel that was closer.

We will be saying our last goodbyes to my hubby’s uncle on Friday. We are planning to leave right after the funeral and will probably arrive home by around mid night or early Saturday morning. It depends on the weather conditions. If there are blizzard warnings in western Minnesota and North Dakota we may just stay at a motel in Wisconsin and drive back the next day. That will be much safer than driving late at night on the snowy roads when we are both tired.
