Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot, sunny and stuffy.
As I go through my Monday filled with teaching and learning, I thought of sharing my ongoing journey into the world of filming and content creation.
Not too long ago, I bought a gimbal to use with my cell phone for filming. It sounded simple enough, but as it turned out, gimbal operation is anything but simple, especially for a beginner like me. The multitude of settings and the complexity of the device initially left me perplexed.
However, determined to master this device and gain a new skill, I turned to YouTube, the trusted source of knowledge nowadays. It proved invaluable, as always. I found instructional videos that clarified my doubts and provided step-by-step guidance.
This is a testament to the wealth of knowledge that is readily available to anyone with an internet connection and a thirst for learning. Acquiring new skills and expanding one’s horizons is just a click away in today’s digital age.
Now, let me tell you about my flat in Copacabana. It’s a charming one-bedroom apartment with a spacious living room and an enormous master bedroom. But here’s the twist: I’ve adapted the maid’s bedroom, which is surprisingly roomy and comfortable with its own small bathroom, into Yasmin’s personal bedroom. It boasts shelves, a desk, cupboards, and wardrobes, all in good taste – a room she can truly call her own.
However, in this current heatwave, Yasmin has chosen to set up camp in the living room at night. It’s a decision she made, even though I offered my own bedroom.
She is loving the experience, as it harks back to when she was just 4 or 5 years old. Back then, when we lived in Flamengo, I would set up a tent in her bedroom, and she would enjoy the thrill of camping indoors.
So, every night now, she sleeps in the living room, reminiscent of those bygone indoor make-believe camping adventures. It’s a small reminder that life is full of delightful moments and unexpected pleasures, even on a Monday.
It’s crucial to keep in mind that learning is a lifelong journey, and being adaptable is essential for achieving success. Life is a blend of growth and nostalgia, whether it’s about mastering modern technology or cherishing precious memories. When faced with challenges, it’s important to address the present obstacles and past memories.
