Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, 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. This month, I have been trying to reorganise my finances by renegotiating my class fees with my pupils. It has been exactly a year since I last increased my fees, […]
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: 34oC, 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 at night. I found myself browsing through Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube while lying in bed and contemplating life when, suddenly, an idea struck me. When we […]
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 […]
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: 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: 28oC, 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. I have never been officially married. I have two mothers of my daughters whom I have lived with, […]
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. It’s March 2023, and Lula, who was elected under suspicious circumstances, has been in power for only two and a half months. Brazil is already in chaos. Inflation and unemployment rates are on the rise, resulting in layoffs, business closures, and suspended investment plans. Consequently, economic forecasts for the next […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. The summer is almost coming to an end in Rio, but it is still very hot. Every day, the temperature is above 30°C. The only difference from a month ago is that it is cooler in the early mornings and evenings. I love this type of weather. Rio de Janeiro […]
