Hey guys, it's Syd.

So I did forget to film an intro.

Usually this happens with the outros.

So I guess things are just going downhill for me.

I wanted to do just a casual chill vlog the past few days.

My family ended up visiting me and we had such a nice time and then they left.

so I was sad.

You guys know we love just a good classic vlog on here

so maybe you go grab a coffee or tea and cue my family and I going to the park to get bagels.

We got our bagels!

Ow, it's hot.

Our favorite spot for bagels is Pop-Up and Ashton requested that we go here.

Yes.

I got the poppy seed bagel with butter.

It's great.

Getting entertained by the artisans watching it to our partners.

Sorry.

Retake.

Cheers.

We're a pretty boring family.

so i just got coffee with my mom i'm the only

one in the family who likes coffee i used to be a coffee hater

and things have changed so my family was nice enough to stop by a local coffee shop

that i haven't tried before that i really liked so i'll definitely be going back there what'd you get Ice latte.

That sounds disgusting, but...

Dad, how are you doing with the subway?

I don't know.

Great.

I'm on the lookout for any rats down there, but I don't see any snowmockers.

It's a good sign.

Not only have I become addicted to city biking, but also electric scootering, particularly in Central Park.

To be honest, any form of electric cycling, so I don't have to do as much work.

Central Park in the summer is just beautiful.

Definitely like something I recommend to anyone who visits.

Good morning guys.

Good morning

I'm gonna be better at vlogging today yesterday

We're moving on from that my family and I are starting the day by getting brunch at George's It's this diner.

It's so quaint.

We've never been here, so it looks really good Why did you get chocolate chip pancakes?

We'll give you guys our consensus.

Wait, what's your taste test on camera?

Oh, yeah, I got an omelette It's pretty good It looks good.

Can I try your pancakes?

No, just kidding.

Sometimes my brother doesn't let me try his food.

Cuz I'm a fatty.

It really depends on the day.

Like, if he's in a good mood, he'll let me try.

If not, like, it's fine for yourself.

Pretty much.

Okay, Dad, how's your food?

Um, yeah, I like my food.

I like the omelet.

I got tomatoes, cheese, ham, everything.

I'm hoping we can come back tomorrow, because they recommended the steak sandwich for us.

Tomorrow!

Mom?

Eggs.

My morning wouldn't be complete without some coffee, so I did selfishly drag my whole family.

We're getting our picture taken.

Okay.

We're going to get on the wall.

We're going to go right here.

It's called Starstruck.

So that drew me in because if you know that movie, it's amazing.

It really is just pretty much my childhood.

And then I think my favorite thing that we did when my family was here was play pickleball.

Funny enough, I used to actually hate it.

My family like really tried hard to get me to like it.

And when someone like forces me or tries to force me to like something, I'm just gonna hate it.

But I did grow to like it.

Am I good?

No. But that's not the point the point is you know i have a good time out there

so i did just lose and pick a wall

but we decided to city bike home my favorite activity specifically the electric bikes

we all wanted to try a new spot out for dinner

and we were all in the mood for italian

so we found this spot called the spaghetti incident

and it did not disappoint now

that i've been learning how to make my own pasta i feel like i have

so much more of an appreciation for homemade spaghetti

and it's just like the perfect way to end off my time with them Every time my family leaves,

it takes me a good day or two to recover.

It's going to sound so dramatic of me.

For some reason, I thought that it would.

I don't know why.

If anything, it seems to get harder as I get older.

I feel like weirdly guilty for not living close to them

and I think I just like Grieve the life

that I could have if I lived close to them

But i'm also on the contrary like so thankful

that I get to feel this way because I know

so many people Don't have that good of a relationship with their family.

I think what also triggered it is my My dad left me this letter

when I opened up my nightstand this morning He put little notes all over my apartment saying love

100

and miss you So I really don't feel like doing anything today and I haven't done anything.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
