Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 32oC, very hot and sunny. The morning was typical, with exercise and classes. In the afternoon, I had to pick up some money from a student and pay Dona Vera at Belli Occhi Otica, an optician’s where I have been buying glasses for years. The shop is in the same gallery where I used to have […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 35oC, very hot and sunny. It is Sunday, and it is boiling! Usually, on Sunday mornings, I like to do a light workout at the end of Leme, but this time, it turned out to be more demanding and even heavier than usual; I don’t know why. Yasmin woke up around 10:30 a.m. and expressed concerns […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 33oC, very hot and sunny. Yasmin is with me, and I am worried about her and money. The truth is that I’m concerned about everything at the moment. I know it is just the moment, but I feel that I’m freezing about taking the next step. I also think that it is not just for me […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot and sunny. Although I enjoy journalling and writing in my diary, I’ve noticed that I’m starting to fall behind and not write as frequently as I would like. I need to organize my time better and prioritize my writing to ensure I don’t fall further behind. It’s a matter of responsibility and discipline, and […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot and sunny. Yasmin has arrived, and I’m paying for her to exercise at one of the schools on the beach. However, she is not taking it seriously enough for my liking. After a stern talk, I clarified that I would only continue to pay if she took it seriously. I study every day and […]

The excitement of a fresh start is running through me, and I’m raring to go!!! However, today, itself is pretty ordinary. I started the morning bright and early, kicked off with a hard workout at the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 32 degrees, hot and sunny. I couldn’t follow my morning exercise routine today, but it wasn’t a wasted day. It turned out to be quite productive. I spent my time giving many classes and immersing myself in online studies, eager to complete as many courses as possible in the first part of this year. My plan […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot, Sunny and unstable. I will be migrating from Oi to TIM, and the reasons behind this transition go beyond just phone service. As many of you might know, Oi has been struggling with severe financial difficulties. In light of this, TIM has acquired my account, and the implications are personal. With this change, I […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast with showers. It’s been an interesting day, with both productive moments and periods of rest. The heat outside had been so intense that Yasmin had to seek refuge in the living room, where the air conditioning provided some relief. With such oppressive conditions, I struggled to find the motivation for […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot, sunny and stuffy. As I go through my Monday filled with teaching and learning, I thought of sharing my ongoing journey into the world of filming and content creation. Not too long ago, I bought a gimbal to use with my cell phone for filming. It sounded simple enough, but as it turned out, […]
