Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, hottish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is almost the end of the month. Yasmin will be on school break until August 1st. It has been a week, and it already feels like hell. While teaching a class to a director of Electronuclear, a Brazilian state-owned company that specializes in nuclear power, he expressed the belief […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish and a clear sky. Sunday is always a special day. Especially when you have something special to do, you are at peace, and it is a beautiful day. It is a day where you can do whatever you want with whoever you want, or even just with yourself. I got up and went […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Friday again, thank God! If it is another Friday, it means that I am still alive. I have a life, and if I have a life, I am responsible for doing something with it. It is also a second chance. Every new day is a second chance […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Thursday and almost the weekend, and I feel a little guilty. I have not been able to develop or do anything with the sites in the last couple of weeks. This is due to not knowing exactly what I want for each site and its identity. I also […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, overcast and rain. It is the middle of the week again, and everything is going smoothly; I am exercising and working. Yasmin is doing well at school and is on holiday until the 1st of August. Nalva, because she worked one week straight in Sao Paulo, is off from work until the following Monday. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Today, I woke up stiff from yesterday’s hour of skipping. It feels very good knowing that you did a lot of exercise and that you and your body are receiving the rewards. At the moment, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days. I have classes from 7 a.m. to 7 […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. So, half the month has already passed, and everything has been paid for: rent, gas, electricity, etc., and other things like a new coat to go England and Nalva’s glasses, and there is still a reserve. This reserve is to finish the treatment of my teeth, which is my priority […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish and slightly overcast. It is the 15th, and for some reason, this week and half the month have gone very quickly. Nalva arrived back from Sao Paulo last night. We talked a little. She was happy to be back. She said she had worked a lot in Sao Paulo, but the experience was worth […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish and slightly overcast. It is Friday at the end of the working week. Work this week has been relatively light compared to other weeks. I wonder whether this has been because Nalva is travelling or that just everything has worked relatively well without any drama or confusion. Returning to what I had written before, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Thursday and nearing another weekend. I will have to go to Copacabana today and give a class to Dona Vera. I do not really want to, but I have to, and this is one of the responsibilities of an adult: to do things we do not want to […]
