Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28 °C, hot, sunny, and slightly cloudy. It is the middle of the last week of the month, and I am broke. I only have R$10.00 Reais left to my name, which is barely enough to buy a quentinha for lunch. For those unfamiliar with the term, a quentinha is a pre-made takeaway hot lunch commonly […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28 °C, hot, sunny, and slightly cloudy. It is still the beginning of the week, but it seems further in the week, like Wednesday evening or Thursday.

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 34 °C, hot, sunny, and slightly stormy. Today is a typical Sunday. I had planned to wake up early for a good workout, but once again I struggled to sleep well.

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28 °C, hot, sunny and slightly cloudy. Just a typical day. Exercise in the morning, classes all day and Yasmin in the evening. Well, it wasn’t so normal. The exercise was regular. The classes were more or less normal. However, some classes were cancelled for some reason, and I consequently felt a wave of laziness and […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30 °C, hot and sunny. Tuesday is a great day for early exercise, work, and a lot of classes and study.

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29 °C, 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 usual because I had a class at 7:00, so I was determined to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28 °C, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. Everything was going well, and then Sunday. In the morning, I got up early, did a good workout at the end of Leme, and had coffee in the street before going home, and I would like to say that I have never been officially married. I have two mothers […]
