Man, what a day! Seriously, Baguim-do-Monte is wild. I woke up thinking it’d be just another boring day, but boy, was I wrong.
So, I’m rollin’ outta bed, right? The sun’s barely up, and I’m already late for my shift. Typical. I grab a coffee from that little café on Rua da Liberdade. You know the one? The barista there is always grumpy, but today, he actually smiled. I thought I was dreaming! Maybe he finally got some good sleep or somethin’.
Anyway, I rush to the office on Rua da Estação. The streets are packed, like always. Baguim-do-Monte is a maze, man. I swear, I could get lost in my own neighborhood. I’m dodging cars, people, and a stray dog that looks like it’s seen better days. I mean, c’mon, can’t a guy just get to work without a mini obstacle course?
Finally, I get to the office, and it’s chaos. My boss is already yelling about some project that went sideways. Like, dude, chill! It’s just work. But nah, he’s all stressed out. I can’t even focus. I’m just thinking about that coffee and how I need another one.
Then, outta nowhere, my phone buzzes. It’s my buddy Miguel. He’s like, “Yo, you gotta check out the new park on Rua do Parque!” I’m like, “Dude, I’m working!” But he’s persistent. So, I sneak out during lunch.
OMG, the park is amazing! It’s got these huge trees and a little pond. I sit there, just chillin’, and suddenly, I see this kid feeding ducks. I’m like, “Aww, that’s cute.” But then, the ducks start fighting over the bread! It’s like a scene from a nature documentary. I’m cracking up, and people are staring at me like I’m nuts.
After that, I head back to work, and guess what? My boss is even angrier. Apparently, I missed a meeting. Ugh, I can’t catch a break! I’m just trying to survive the day.
Later, I’m walking home, and I pass by the market on Rua da Feira. The smell of grilled sardines hits me like a freight train. I can’t resist. I grab a plate, and it’s the best decision ever. I’m munching away, and life feels good again.
But then, I see this guy arguing with a vendor. He’s all worked up about the price of oranges. Like, dude, it’s just fruit! Chill out! I mean, I get it, times are tough, but c’mon.
Finally, I make it home, and I’m exhausted. I flop on the couch, thinking about the day. Baguim-do-Monte is a rollercoaster, man. One minute you’re laughing at ducks, the next you’re dodging angry people.
I wouldn’t trade it for anything, though. This city is full of surprises. Just gotta roll with the punches, ya know? Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
