Laika
It was the end of a hard day working at a cooperative farm. My nails were full of ground even after washing them a hundred times. We were starving, wanting to eat something as fast as we could.

Where is Gareth?
For so long I have not been able to elaborate on why I considered The Office UK as a masterpiece. Of course, we do not need to explain everything we feel, otherwise, art would be boring and love would just be a combination of chemistry and biology. Masterpieces are masterpieces because they always give us different ways of interpretation being unique and artistically revolutionary.

The Downside of Networking
Networking was not a common word for me until I went to this party years ago. It was a huge mansion in Brazil with probably 4 or 5 bathrooms. Someone brought the topic – the importance of networking. She was talking about some social event that she attended in a house of an important Brazilian politician and her friendship with Brazilian intellectuals and policymakers.

What I have learnt with special kids and Neymar
When I was a kid in Brazil all Physical Education teachers used to repeat the same statement at the beginning of the school year – it`s more important to compete than to win. Unfortunately, I was not smart enough to fully understand this philosophy and I used to hate PE.

The Angel of Florianópolis
His name was Rafael, the same name as my brother. We met occasionally in the middle of the night while I was waiting for the sunrise to take the first bus back to the camp. I was living in a tent in the far South of Florianopolis Island, among nomad-hippies. He was a restaurant worker in Lagoa da Conceicao, an area with bars, night clubs, restaurants and an amazing lagoon next to the sea.
