Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Friday and almost the weekend. I have created a healthy routine where I get up early and exercise daily. Even before physically getting out of bed, I do three exercises. As soon as I am up, I make my bed, which is folding up the bed linen, putting it away […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Wednesday, the middle of the week and everything is good. The classes are going well, and I am taking some very nice photos of Aterro and Flamengo. Early morning photography is very gratifying. The light is perfect, there are few people out in the street who could spoil a shot, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, warmish, sunny, and beautiful clear blue skies. Tuesday, and my name is Dirt at home. Since I decided to try to force my younger daughter to change her habits and her routine, consequently changing her future, she is clearly showing her disapproval by trying to make my life hell at home. Purposefully showing that she […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, cool, overcast and rainy. Wednesday is the middle point of the week and my fourth day living in Flamengo, and cracks are beginning to show, not in Flamengo but in my abode. As usual, I got up early, left home to exercise in the local park, and quickly returned for my first early class at […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, warm, sunny, and slightly overcast. Tuesday is the third day of living in Flamengo with my ex-wife. Until now, everything has been OK, and it should still be in the early days. I get up early in Flamengo at 4:30 a.m. and am out in the street by 5:00 a.m. Today, I decided not to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, warm, sunny, and slightly overcast. It’s my first Monday in this tiny flat with my daughter and ex-wife. I forgot to say that after exercising in Aterro de Flamengo, a public park, yesterday morning, I passed by Casa e Video, a utility DIY store. Luckily, it was open on a Sunday, so I could buy […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, warm, sunny, and slightly overcast. I have just slept my first night in Flamengo in the same flat with my fifteen-year-old daughter and my ex-wife. I got up early at about 5 p.m. and exercised at the local park. I also passed in the local Portuguese baker’s for a coffee and bread to take back. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm, sunny, and slightly overcast. Tuesday was a Tuesday of surprises. First, I exercised, had coffee, and took a shower, and everything was going well. I was ready to begin teaching classes when I received a message from Katia, the flat’s owner, asking me if I was going to leave that day. The month before, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, normal, sunny and overcast. It is almost the end of the month, and it is very chilly and raining in the morning. I was unable to go out early to exercise; I had to do it at home. Technically speaking, exercising at home is more or less the same as exercising outside. However, going out, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, a little hot, sunny and slightly cloudy. Beginning the week broke, but well!!! No time to go out and exercise in the morning, but a short session at home is good enough. We live in a world of two extremes, where it is or it is not, where there seems to be no shades of […]
