How I did it
It made me
upgraded 
How I did it: Apparently, all I needed was a career change. I embarked in a job that specifically requires me to do advanced AutCAD functions. I die with difficulty on some days but I think it's awesome that I get to learn lots of new tricks and get paid for doing so. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I switched jobs, one that requires me to travel. And it was a good call, because it was one of the best things that ever happened to me this year. :) It's a little expensive having a lifestyle that involves a bit of travel but it's okay. It's good for improving one's self and widening horizons. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I was sick of the side effects of medication and I opted to seek alternative treatments. Fortunately I found Seth's Blog and learned about Morning Faces therapy. It was based on a UC Berkeley psychological study and it works. Also, I resumed blogging and just making a conscious effort to listen to people more. Read how I did it…

okay, so all those books are by my bedside and some are on my bed! this is crazy. i still have an entire folder of e-books on my hard disk. this is crazy! i don’t know what to do. >_< I should start with one book at a time. Last night, I started reading a book on improving one’s writing skills. I hope to finish it this week.
I also decided to get reinforcements from habitforge.com so that I can commit to reading a minimum of 15 pages per day.
I hope this habitforge thing works with my 43things.
I have always been fond of writing about novel experiences. While I often find the magical in the most mundane of things, I believe that traveling more will expand my horizons as a person. I just do not know where to begin though. I do not have the resources to travel extensively and the luxury of time either. Maybe I should start with my city and then radially expand my itinerary outwards.
