Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast. Today is Friday, the second day of the new month. It’s been almost a month since I started living with my ex-wife and daughter. Living with Yasmin is not a problem, even with her mood swings. It’s bearable, and interestingly enough, living with Nalva is not so bad either. We […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, sunny and slightly overcast. Thursday, the 1st of June, May closes, and June opens. Summing up the month of May, I did two hundred and one classes. To do so many classes, all at the same elevated level, and to keep that level of quality all the time is not easy, but I can do […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, overcast, and raining. Wednesday is the middle of the week and the last day of the month, and what a month! Life is full of highs and lows, mostly highs but a few lows. It is never perfectly balanced; if someone says it is, it is either because they are on a roll or lying. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, sunny, overcast, and raining. It is Tuesday, and it has been raining heavily from last night until early morning. Because of this, it is a bit of a lazy day for me. Although I am working, giving classes, studying, etc., without doing exercise outdoors, the day does not seem the same. Instead of getting up […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, grey, cloudy and rainy. It is Monday of the last week of the month, and I have been living with my daughter and her mother. For the most part, it has been tranquil and pleasant; there have only been a few occasions of stress or disagreement. It is not easy for a man my age […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish and sunny with clear blue skies. Now that I live in Botafogo going to Urca on foot is more straightforward than going from Copacabana. Urca is one of the most remarkable neighbourhoods in Rio. Its small bucolic side streets, views of the Bay from The Mureta, which lines a large part of Urca, army […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy later. It is Saturday, the weather forecast is for sun, and everything is good. Today, my early routine was a little different. Instead of going straight to the baker’s for a coffee after my workout, this time, I decided to go home first and then go. Why? Because it […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy later. Friday was a lucky day; my 7 am class was cancelled, and I pushed my 8 am class back one hour to 9 am, so now I am free from when I get up until nine. This means I can do a hard workout and do my things […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy later. In the past, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I would begin classes at 8 am, so they were the days where I could have a heavy workout as there were no time restrictions. Since the middle of this month, I have begun to give classes to a new pupil […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hot, sunny, clear, and slightly cloudy. It is the middle of the week, and it is going extremely well. I am not anxious, I am not counting the time, I am not counting the classes, I am good. One of the reasons for this is my healthy early morning routine, which I have created and […]
