How I did it: I finished uni, did a postgraduate diploma, applied to a lot of places, felt like shit for months because I was unemployed, passed a test, went to an interview and waited. I cannot think of any other way to explain how it happened. It probably helped that they seemed desperate to hire more people because the office was receiving way more work than the few employees could handle. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I spent the money on an impulse. A tattoo artist that I knew was awesome was in town for just a couple of days and I happened to have enough money to pay for the tattoo in my bank account so an "it's now or never" kind of rush convinced me to do it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: So, 2012 is over and I didn't complete the challenge, but it was fun to try and I will attemp to complete it this year. Even if I fail, again, 50 is a nice goal: not too low that I know it won't be challenge (like, say, 20), nor too high that it's intimidating. Read how I did it…

It’s beautiful and so easy to play. I know a bunch of chords already but I’m terrible at learning songs, I’ve never really been able to memorize all the chords of any song for long…
