Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
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: 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: 29oC, hot, sunny and slightly cloudy. In the past, Fridays were typically slow days with extra classes for pupils or replacing cancelled classes. Today, I have a lot of classes for a Friday, 11 to be exact. It feels like a busy day, but at the same time, I struggle with feeling lazy. It’s like there’s […]
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. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, Sunny and slightly overcast. An excellent hot, sweaty and stuffy Tuesday. When I started working out about a year and a half ago, I would do seven or eight exercises; now, I’m doing between 12 and 15. The time that I have allotted for working out is almost not enough anymore. This is progression, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Monday and the beginning of the working week. I was able to do an exercise session as my first class was at 7:00 a.m. I am feeling concerned that I will have to give up my freedom and live with my ex-wife for the next couple of months. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot and sunny. What a pleasant Sunday. I got up, but this Sunday, I did not do exercise at the end of Leme. First, I did one hundred pushups at home before going out. Then, after green tea, YouTube, etc, I prepared myself to go on a walk. The weather forecast was for rain in […]
