Hi, I’m Nando and my nickname comes from my name, Fernando Souza. I’m from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and I was born in 78. I’m an undergraduate English (with a desire to have a master or doctor degree) student and I work as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher in several schools, multinational companies [...]
Who said working and studying at the same time was easy? I’m not complaining, I’m only trying to apologize for not writing more often.

I know I haven’t been around for quite a long time. There are a few reasons for that. Firstly, because I wanted the Dio post to stick on top as a humble way of showing my admiration for his music. Secondly, because I haven’t had much time. Who said working and studying at the [...]

Yesterday afternoon I went to my cousin’s house to jam with him. He had invited his other cousin who plays the guitar. So, there we were: one bass player, one keyboard player, one guitarist and one stereo. We needed the stereo, so that we could hear the singer’s voice since none of us can sing [...]
