How I did it
It made me
Very very happy 
How I did it: I just started sending CV to every job I thought would make me happy. I was really unhappy on the other ones.I finnaly got some interviews and did some prep for them. I just tried to show I much I could do for my new employer. I got three job offers and decided for the one I though would make me more happy (not curiously the one that paid more). Read how I did it…
It made me
With more energy
How I did it: I've always had problems going to bed "on time" sometimes there was a tv show I really wanted to see, others was just that extra 5 minutes online that turned into 2 hours. One day I decided!I stopped postponing going to bed every night. This became easier when I setted a specific hour to go to bed for myself. Read how I did it…

I’ve fell in love with London. On 2009 I went there 5 times, on 2010 I already went there 3 times… I spent new year’s eve watching the fireworks in the London Eye…
I think it’s my favourite city in Europe. :-)
I’ve been postponing this for so long, that now I really want to do it, just to prove to myself I can!
