Fifty weeks

I remember the first time I wrote something in English. At that time I had another blog, named 50 semanas (fifty weeks). The purpose of that blog was to track my experience and expectations as I was preparing to move to Ireland next year.  My goal was to learn as much English as I could,...

Consistency

When I started this project, it was about three years ago, I had the idea to have something to say in English. I invited some people, and even we have a great start, one per one, we left the blog out. But, never is late to come back. And now, I'm here again. At the...

Abroad

Have you ever lived abroad? I have this experience in 2018. I could spend some months in Ireland and UK. I had no idea about what I could expect from my journey. And, I just tell you, it was amazing. Not perfect, because yeah, I had my issues living there, but the life is not...

2022

Last year I had just one main goal: Change my job. And I got it. 2021 was a crazy year, but all of us had more hope than 2020. I could experience different kinds of situations, some of them good situations. I had more connection with friends and family. I recovered my passion for my...

Skank

I've changed my job recently, and as a result, I have to spend a lot of time commuting. I'm talking about more than three hours per day, it's a lot of time. While I don't buy a car, I need to find a way to enjoy this time. I've been listening to podcasts, and revisiting...

Any idea?

I was looking for something to write in English again. But, I have to tell you, it's hard. It's been a long time since I stopped my English Learning Process, and it occurs me now that I'm losing my fluency. Not just how to write or how to speak, I've been struggling with forming ideas...

Great Singers [2]

Some posts ago, I wrote about Marcelo Bonfá, the drummer of Legião Urbana. Today, Dado Villa Lobos is the chosen one. As I had mentioned before, they had a great success with the group during the 80's and 90's. The group ended after Renato's death. Dado released four albums: one live and 4 studio releases....

Writings

I remember the first time I wrote in English. It was just a few sentences, simple words. At that time, I didn’t have a huge vocabulary, neither practice to do that. Also, I could spend about one hour to write a clause like this one that I spent about 30 seconds right now. I have...

Great singers

Everybody knows that my favorite band is Legião Urbana. By the way, I had the opportunity to see they playing in Curitiba. For sure it was the great moment of 2019. However, I won't talk about this group. Instead of, I'll talk about their alive players. The vocalist, Renato Russo died in 1996, but the...

Clube da Esquina

In my opinion, this is one of the best albums of Brazilian music. Clube da Esquina was formed by Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges. Milton Nascimento was one of the great inspirations for the democratic movement named Diretas Já, which intended to finish the dictatorial regime from 70’s and 80’s. As Skank, mentioned before here, they are from Minas Gerais....

Guadalupe Bus Station

Could be the name of a bus station in Curitiba. And, yes, it is. But, today I'm talking about the rock group that had the same name. Had because they broke up in 2009. I started listening to local groups in the middle of 2000's. I remember, at that time, bands from São Paulo, Rio,...

The Century’s Greatest Evil

Whatever they say, the century’s greatest evil is loneliness. Renato Russo told us on Legião Urbana’s song named Esperando por mim, and 20 years later, this excerpt still being present. I remember when I suffered with my depression, I had to deal with my loneliness. Besides that, I had to try to change my situation,...
