What I do for living.

Working is more than gaining money, is more than going to the same place every day. Working is a necessity.

I'm a chef in a hotel's restaurant. I began to cook when I was ten years old and I never stopped.

I sometimes ask myself if I need to wake up so early every day. Yes, I do.

I live truly far from my work. I have two options of transportation to get there. I can drive, or I can take a bus.
By bus I need to take the 1321 bus to Central Station. There is a bus stop in front of my house. I get off at Seventh Avenue and I walk for ten minutes down the street. The Green Restaurant, for which I work, is on corner of Seventh Avenue and Bellomar Street.
It usually takes me about an hour to get there.
I work every weekdays, Mondays though Fridays, from 01 p.m. to 10 p.m., and on Saturdays from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m.
I have a little time of free time. In this hours I prefer to rest. I usually read a book or watch TV. When I am cheerful I ride a bike with my wife.
Even as working is the best thing for life Is also the thing more stressful.

Descriptions

What do people wear in their routine?

People need to wear different kinds of clothes for different activities every day. At work, for example, people need to choose the most comfortable clothes, but never forgetting about the work requirements and etiquette. A businessman should work wearing formal clothes. He needs to wear the color white for shirts and a dark color for suits. My boss, for example, always go to work wearing a white long sleeve cotton shirt, a formal striped tie and a dark navy blue suit.

For the other workers, they not need to wear very formal clothes. My friends and I usually go to work wearing only a pair of dark gray linen pants and a long sleeve cotton shirt, but without a tie.

These clothes are comfortable. However, I like to arrive home and take them out. At home I prefer to stay with cotton t-shirts and a pair of shorts. I always wear slippers or walk barefoot.

When I go to unexceptional, informal places I wear some jeans and a simple shirt. I don't like to seem more formal than necessary.

About my wife

My wife's name is Débora.

She is 28 years old. Her birthday is on july 7th.

She's from São Bernardo do Campo.

She can ride a bike and she is good at cooking.

She is an only child, that is, she doesn't have a siblings.

her parents are divorced, and now, she lives with her mother.

My wife is an economist, but she works as a financial analyst at Johnson e Johnson Company.

About her daily routine I can say that:

She wakes up early every day, at about 06:00 a.m.

After a small breakfast, she goes to work by the company bus.

She works from 08:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m., but with one hour for lunch.

Some times she stays until late at night at work, but she likes her job.

At home, at the and of the day, she prefer to watch TV and to go to sleep early.

when she has time, she watchs TV series, such as Dowtown Abby.

My daily routine

Everyday my alarm clock sounds at 06:00 a.m. Immediately I go to the bathroom to shave.
Then I dress my clothes and have my breakfast. At ten to seven I leave home quickly in order to arrive early at work, because I have to find a good place to park.
My activities in the morning begin at 07:30 a.m. and finish at noon, during this time we have some brakes between classes.
I have lunch at noon and then I have until 01:00 p.m to rest, however I use this free time to study English. I prepare texts in English.
My classes start again 01:00 p.m. and finish again at 04:30 p.m. Immediately I go to my English course. It stays near home, but as there are a lot of traffic I almost arrive late.
after this tired day, I came back home  and study the subjects I learned during the day. I lay down at 11:00 p.m.

The biggest battle of all the times, the one.

Many battles happened for all over the world. According to the specialists, in the all world history known by men known of the world, there aren´t battles only forty years were no battles for approximately 40 years. What is the reason for make making a war? Many answers can be given, but none nothing can be justify the fail human colapse that exists in a war.
One time, a philosopher called Rousseau, one time, said that there is exist only a fair reason for a war. According to him, there is only one motive for a fight between men, this motive is the freedom.
So, really we can to call one specific battle of the true battle. I speak of The Thermopiles Battle.
More that five hundreds years before Christ, there was a big empire in South Asia. The Persian empire conquered nearly all the South Asia. Their will was imposed and there was not free men for in all Asia.
Their thirst for riches wealth was big and didn't have limits.
One day, Xerxes, king of the Persians, decided to conquest the Greece. Twenty-five hundred thousands men and one thousand boats was were used for respecting the king's will. For the Greeks only two cities could fight for them. The death and the conquest was were certain.
The first city, Athens, decided to build the biggest number of boats that possible for ocean defense, and the second city, Sparta, under the command of their king, Leonidas, joined your his three better men best soldiers for earth defense.
This battle inspired the movie called "300".
