Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
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 […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, a little hot, Sunny and slightly cloudy. This Sunday morning is a little chilly, with overcast clouds threatening for it to rain. As I am broke at the moment, there is not a lot I can do. Working out at the end of Leme is cheap. A coffee at the local baker’s is cheap. Going […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC warm and Sunny. It is Thursday, and usually, on Thursday, I am tired. The accumulation of classes starts to hit me on a Thursday. Even so, I am happy because I have got to finish one more book I was reading. I have read two books in less than a month, and I am loving […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC and sunny. It is Wednesday and half the week has gone and the middle point of the week. In the past, it was an excuse for me to do something like going out or at least drinking something: a couple of beers or a bottle of wine. Something to recognise that half the week has […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hot and sunny. It is Sunday and the second half of this toxic weekend. I had a misunderstanding yesterday with Yasmin, and today, the second part of the weekend will be with her mother; however, I did not know yet. The morning began well; I exercised early at the end of Leme. Afterwards, I went […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny and slightly cloudy. Just a normal day. Exercise in the morning, classes all day and Yasmin in the evening. Well, it wasn’t so normal. The exercise was normal. The classes were more or less normal. However, some classes were cancelled for some reason, and consequently, a wave of laziness and tiredness came over […]
