Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
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: 27oC, hot, sunny, and cloudy. One of my faults, and there are many, is that on the eve of something, I begin to slow down and become prematurely lazy. It is the eve of the bank holiday Easter Friday in Brazil. I think in England the bank holiday is on Monday, but in Brazil, it is […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot, sunny and slightly cloudy. It is January, and today is April 1st, also known as April Fools’ Day. In Brazil, we refer to it as Dia da Mentira, which translates to “the day of the lie.” I can differentiate between a prank, a joke, and a lie to some extent. Regardless, it’s a beautiful […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot, sunny, and slightly stormy. It is Monday, the first working day of the week. A quick workout in the morning due to time, as the first class is at 7:00 am. The prognosis for the day is a lot of classes, study, and calm. The classes are obviously for work and money. If I […]
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 […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot and sunny. It is the second day of autumn, and it is even warmer. Today’s temperature peaked at 34°C. When it is too hot, we become lethargic and do not want to do anything. I currently weigh between 95 and 96 kilos and hope to reach ninety-two before I travel. It has taken me […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot and sunny. Tuesday is a great day for early exercise, work, and a lot of classes and study. Over the past year, I’ve completed several web development courses and registered seven domains. It’s time to put my skills into action. One of my pupils is a skilled web designer, and I asked him to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast. After the stress of Sunday, a long sleep, and an early rise at 4:00 a.m., things were looking better. Just a good sleep can change your perspective on everything. I had to get up earlier than normal because I had a class at 7:00, so I was determined to do […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is a beautiful Saturday morning—30°C with a completely blue sky and no sign of rain. I love the mornings, especially the mornings in Rio. Rio is an extremely beautiful city. I learned to appreciate it in the morning when I had the dogs and two boxers, Bruce and Petra. […]
