Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, Sunny and slightly overcast. It’s the middle of the week again. Half of the week has passed, and the other half is yet to come. However, this is a bit of a lie because today is the eve of a bank holiday. Tomorrow will be Brazilian Independence Day, the 7th of September. Traditionally, on […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. I’ve been taking Perola with me when I go to the park to work out more. She needs the exercise because when I arrived in Botafogo, she was extremely overweight for a dog. She was also taking corticosteroids because of her allergy problems. This issue is common with dogs, especially […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Monday, and I have been blogging for two days now. I have posted three times, and I’m still on a roll – it’s been about a month, and I don’t intend to stop now. I wake up early and head to the bakery, waiting for it to open […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm, cloudy and slightly sunny. It’s September, just a little over two months until I go to England. It will be my first time in over 20 years. I feel selfish asking myself how September could top August, which was amazing and surreal. This month, I plan to focus on creating more content for my […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, cool, cloudy but slightly sunny. I got to resolve a big problem with the contact page of ‘The Long Gringo’. After hundreds of attempts, the hosting company fixed it within two minutes. I realised something was wrong with the webpage and the email account settings. I contacted the hosting company through their chat service, and […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 18oC, cool, rainy, grey and stormy. It is Monday, the last week of the month. It has been an extremely positive and profitable month for which I am grateful. I have received my Brazilian ID, which allowed me to open a new bank account and get a credit card. I also set up a savings account […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 18oC, cool, heavy rain, grey and stormy. I am so proud of myself because of yesterday. I was able to finish 95% of the website. I’ve been having trouble resolving an issue with the contacts page on the website. I’ve conducted several tests, but when users fill out the form to send a message, the message […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is Friday, and I feel slightly relieved, even though it has been a good week. I am tired and want to wake up tomorrow without worrying about classes. For the past two to three days, we have been experiencing a heat wave with temperatures almost reaching 40°C. It is […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 36oC, very hot, sunny, clear sky. As I mentioned, it is difficult to move forward when we are afraid. Just like climbing up or down a hill, taking small steps one after another makes a difference. You must keep moving even if you don’t know what you’re doing. No matter how small the step may be, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 34oC, very hot, sunny, clear sky. It is Wednesday. Half the week has passed, and we are still making progress. I have handled credit cards and bank accounts, booked the flight ticket, and expect to finish two websites by the end of next week. We are just passing through a heat wave in Rio at the […]
