Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, Sunny and a little cloudy. Yasmin is currently with me. She went to bed in a bad mood last night and, unfortunately, seems to have woken up in a similar mood for school today. At times, maintaining patience and dealing with constant negativity can be challenging. I wish she could focus more on being […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot, Sunny and unstable. It’s Wednesday morning, and I have a 7 a.m. class, so I am doing a home workout that includes push-ups. Before class, I have to drop Yasmin off at the Metro station for school. I live in Brazil, and my mother lives in England. As I recently changed my phone number, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot, Sunny and unstable. I woke up early today and headed to Leme for a rigorous workout. After that, I quickly returned home to shower, change my clothes, and give classes. Walking by the beach in the morning made me appreciate the beauty of Rio de Janeiro even more. It’s fantastic to have such stunning […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 32oC, very hot and sunny. The morning was typical, with exercise and classes. In the afternoon, I had to pick up some money from a student and pay Dona Vera at Belli Occhi Otica, an optician’s where I have been buying glasses for years. The shop is in the same gallery where I used to have […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 35oC, very hot and sunny. It is Sunday, and it is boiling! Usually, on Sunday mornings, I like to do a light workout at the end of Leme, but this time, it turned out to be more demanding and even heavier than usual; I don’t know why. Yasmin woke up around 10:30 a.m. and expressed concerns […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 33oC, very hot and sunny. Yasmin is with me, and I am worried about her and money. The truth is that I’m concerned about everything at the moment. I know it is just the moment, but I feel that I’m freezing about taking the next step. I also think that it is not just for me […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot and sunny. Although I enjoy journalling and writing in my diary, I’ve noticed that I’m starting to fall behind and not write as frequently as I would like. I need to organize my time better and prioritize my writing to ensure I don’t fall further behind. It’s a matter of responsibility and discipline, and […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot and sunny. Yasmin has arrived, and I’m paying for her to exercise at one of the schools on the beach. However, she is not taking it seriously enough for my liking. After a stern talk, I clarified that I would only continue to pay if she took it seriously. I study every day and […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot and sunny. It’s the first day of a new month, and I have many plans and tasks ahead. The excitement of a fresh start is running through me, and I’m raring to go!!! However, today, itself is pretty ordinary. I started the morning bright and early, kicked off with a hard workout at the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 32 degrees, very hot, with a little cloud. Today, I had to make multiple trips to the TIM telecommunications store in the Rio Sul shopping centre due to issues I faced while migrating from Oi to TIM. The migration process should typically be easy and hassle-free, but it turned out to be complicated, and I encountered […]
