Weekend: so hot

Journal 1 Minute

We had a very hot weekend, so we mostly stayed indoor with AC (luxury!!!).

Saturday: after girls piano lessons Sofia went to a friend’s house for playdate. So it was just me and Lizzy. We spent the morning doing exam prep. Gosh… this is never ending but we’ve decided to take the exam this week so we don’t ned to keep spending weekends on this. No matter the outcome, we’ve tried.

Lizzy despite some complaining is dealing with this in a positive attitude, trying her best, and learning how to study.

Then we went out to explore a new shopping mall in Brasilia after lunch. It’s nicely designed as a park, but we both agreed that this doesn’t make sense in a heated area, we’d rather it to be covered with AC.

we found a new nice ice cream shop and loved the not sweet lemon and cream with chocolate

Sunday was another hot day. It is rare that there is AC in common area, only on bedrooms. So our living room was hot but it didn’t deter girls to hang out and play chess

Lizzy and I worked the whole day on exam prep, only taking 2 hours lunch break. By 5pm, we were both mentally done with it and decided to go to the pool. BUT the pool was as hot as bathtub water. Look Lizzy’s reaction

yet, we were determined to get in anyway.

we enjoyed those 45 min of chill time, chatting mostly. I really appreciate and enjoy those intimate moments with the girls, share whatever comes to our mind at the moment.

Girls enjoyed their netflix time. Sofia is watching gossip girl, OMG. I have started with American Hogwan and loving it so far and so happy that it’s a long book.

I am also glad to report that after Sunday’s 20 miler, I slept well and HR showed good recovery. Okay, gotta get back to exam prep with Lizzy, hope to finish before lunch so we can enjoy the afternoon. It’s children’s day in Brazil after all.

I have always loved traveling and travel often for work. But 2.5 years ago we moved to Manila and started to travel more for leisure. It was the start of our journey to explore the world and ourselves as a family. My daughters love traveling with passion and always want to go to new places, meet new people, try new food. This blog will record our journey in this new living style and my thoughts around it.

  1. We had a hot weekend in Minneapolis, too! It was around 85-90 both days which is TOO HOT for October. It will really cool off after today but I am ready for it. I’m ready for cool, crisp, fall temps!

    Lizzy is tolerating the exam prep really well! I’m impressed! She must have great stamina and focus to study for so many hours! I hope the exam goes well!

  3. I’m so impressed with her work ethic and I’m sure it means so much to have you helping her (just having companionship during the effort of studying can mean so much).
    Swimming warm water is MY FAVOURITE. I get so cold when swimming (basically always), so I think I’d have a giant smile on my face if I dipped my toe in and it was that warm.
    Such an interesting observation that makes so much sense once you mention it: of course you’d want AC at the mall! It looks beautiful, but isn’t necessarily very practical in high-temp areas.

  4. Ugh- Florida is hot but there’s AC EVERYWHERE. So much so that you have to bring a sweater or jacket with you wherever you go, for when you go inside.

    Good luck to Lizzy on the exam!!!
