Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm, sunny, and slightly overcast. MOVING DAY!!! I was going to get up early and have my last workout in Leme, but as it was a little overcast and rainy, I thought it better not to while I was also feeling a little lazy. It was better that I had not gone; there was still […]
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: 29oC, hot, sunny and slightly cloudy. Saturday morning, I was feeling tired and lazy, but I had to get up. I was up at 5 am and out in the street by 5.30. It is still dark, and the same people I usually see most mornings are out, either walking their dogs or doing some exercise; […]
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 April, 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 […]
