Bitch, are you bored?

Are you rotting too much?

Do you need a hobby?

Girl, I got you.

These are my most recent obsessions and hobbies, and if you've been writing on that phone too much or just have no idea what to do, I got you.

If you like weird nerdy shit, let me put you on.

Let me put you on.

Number one, starting off strong, is Vampire Night.

Now, this is a manga that was released in 2004 by Matsuri Hino.

Oh my god, it's so fucking nuts.

Okay, so let me explain.

If you don't read manga, I don't care read this.

This is the most angsty vampire story Pretty much ever to be honest.

It is a love triangle

and the art style It's the best eye candy in the world I most of the reason

that I love this series so much is just the way

that it looks don't get me wrong The story is amazing too, but oh my god the fucking art style It's so good.

Um, if you're into like spooky dark academia castle bats

blood vampire vibes fighting of the neck like sensual

but also like a great plot stuff like

that also weird as fuck this one's for you oh this

one's for you i'm genuinely fucking obsessed with vampire night um

i've even started taking it to the bathroom with me yes i poop

and read vampire night at the same time do you have fun silence from you i'm currently on volume six

and when i read it i'll play some like ambient like spooky castle music off of youtube

or something and it just really ties the whole experience together i've also been taking it to bed

and reading it before bed instead of doom scrolling

and frying my brain

so um wake up vampire night eat sleep repeat wake up

vampire night poop vampire night eat eat vampire night sleep vampire night okay yes

if you've been looking for a new series you want one that's kind of underground

so maybe a little bit older maybe a little bit angsty

maybe a little bit taboo this one's for you there also is an anime that's really good too

but personally i'd say watch it in the sub not the dub the anime is also amazing

so watch it read it do it next my next most

recent obsession has been a binder girl bring back the binder

mine literally just has lined paper in it with this little pouch full of like sticky notes

and bookmarks a notepad even though there's already fucking paper in

it anyway whatever instead of like writing on my phone

or something i just go in front of my binder

and then something in my mind will come out

and i'll start writing about it

and then i have all these awesome ideas like it feels like i'm in middle school again

and i'm really bored in a class period

and you don't have your phone so you're just writing on paper in your binder

and that's genuinely one of the best experiences ever i've even

been drawing like angsty anime eyes just like I used to back in school before they took binders away

and did mainly laptops which is what happened at my school I don't know

if that's what happened at yours but it's basically like having a notebook

but something about it being in a binder just makes it feel

so like just the way it opens and the way

that you can click the paper out like I just I don't know there's something about it that's really nostalgic and nice

and like it gives me a lot of create like induces

a lot of creativity for me somehow I don't really know yeah

so instead of like using a note my notes app

when I have like a thought to jot down i'll put it in here

or i'll just like draw in here i'm trying to fucking

detox off the off the fucking social media fucking short form content bullshit rotting in my brain all day

and this is one of the ways i've been doing that

and i've actually found it to be one of like the

best parts of my life this past week like instead of

picking up my phone i'll be like i'm just gonna go look in my binder

and then i'll just like start writing or drawing or thinking

or whatever you know bring back a binder get one

that you like get your favorite color put some paper in

that bad boy put some little things in a pouch like this is so much better than an iphone

not even kidding this is more stimulating than a phone not

joking okay get get stop rotting rotting rot inside your binder

inside your mind let your creativity flow let those ideas come

out you can also decorate it all cute i'm yet i'm yet to decorate mine

but you know this guy's the fucking limit over here okay what else

and also my list that i'm reading off of is inside this binder though my next obsession

or hobby is doing oracle readings specifically in this myths

and mermaids oracle of the water deck by jasmine beckett griffiths

i got it off amazon you can get it really anywhere

and i just the art style is genuinely gorgeous the messages

are really beautiful the cards are large large cards like look big big ass cards

so if you're into like tarot readings

or oracle readings this is a deck i really recommend obviously you could literally there's

so many fucking decks of oracle cards you can pick any

that you like but this is just my deck of choice at the moment i just

that i just really love and

if you don't know really what an oracle reading is you basically have this deck of cards

and each one is tied to a different

Message or meaning so you can have like a question

or maybe just want some like advice

or something You shuffle the deck until a card pops out

and then the card will have a number on it You flip to

that meaning in the little booklet And there'll be a nice message for you

And I always find this to be really helpful and accurate

and beautiful and wonderful and it just like really helps guide me Through certain situations in my life insightful beautiful spiritual Yeah,

so if you're into stuff like this and you don't have an oracle deck girl get an oracle deck

And if you do have an oracle deck

But you want to give more to your oracle deck You could get this oracle deck

Or actually you don't actually have to buy anything

But this one's just really beautiful

So I thought I'd share the art Also I'm not being

sponsored to say anything in this video There's no promotion in

this video I'm literally showing you what exactly what I'm actually

100

genuinely Obsessed with at the moment Okay The next item

101

that i actually just got in the mail off of etsy from this seller are these reusable produce bags

102

so you know when you go to the grocery store

103

and you put all of your fucking produce in plastic yeah

104

so this is a kind of a way to prevent that

105

and also not be so wasteful and also it's cute i've been cooking a lot

106

so i've been buying so much produce

107

so then i'm walking around the store with this basket produce

108

and it's either in a plastic bag or

109

if i don't want to use the plastic bags it's like touching the basket

110

and that like kind of grosses me out

111

so then i i got myself one of these i got

112

mine off etsy there are these 100 cotton produce bags

113

and also like i feel like it's just kind of like

114

to walk around the grocery store like excuse me like i need apples

115

and everyone's like oh my god like no i'm just kidding no one gives a fuck

116

but yeah it's just romanticizing buying that produce

117

whimsy magical lovely yep so cute my next obsession has been planting something

118

and watching it grow so i planted these little green onion nubs

119

and going outside

120

and seeing how big they're getting every single day is like the most magical experience ever

121

or my mom and i planted some basil

122

and i can look at my window

123

and look how much it's growing every single day

124

and there's just like

125

that dopamine hit of seeing a plant grow it's like no

126

other it's like watching your baby grow up at the moment it's just been cute little simple things like

127

that in a society that's deranged

128

and disconnected from nature it feels really good to just look

129

at a plant sometimes thank you mother earth thank you mother

130

nature tying into using those green onions in the kitchen um

131

my next obsession lately slash hobby has been cooking i can't

132

get enough of it i can't get enough of it i

133

listen to whimsical magical music sometimes i'll literally listen to skyrim music

134

and all just like act like I voyaged through the forest for the ingredients

135

that I'm cooking with and now I'm like chopping them up on my iron skillet

136

and like you know stuff like

137

that it's genuinely magical to romanticize cooking it's like the best

138

thing in the world to just go in your own little

139

zone chop up all these veggies follow all these instructions to a recipe

140

and then you get to eat it and it tastes

141

so good so that's been one of my favorite things recently I've made like lentil soup quinoa salad.

142

I made this like sweet potato Beef bowl thing.

143

I don't know.

144

It's really good though cookies and muffins

145

Chia seed pudding and overnight oats and like whatever like all these like little Recipes

146

and stuff some are way more elaborate than others

147

But it's just like it's

148

so fun to just like work hard for your food to cook it

149

and watch you come to life

150

and have to Slave away at it for a couple hours and then you get to eat it Oh Oh, it's literally the most satisfying experience in the world.

151

Bring back cooking, delete DoorDash off your phone, please.

152

Like, yeah, anyway, that's me talking to myself because I have fallen victim to the DoorDash.

153

The post, the post DoorDash clarity many times.

154

Anyway, start cooking.

155

It's awesome.

156

My next obsession is Japanese Hyperpop.

157

It's so good.

158

It's so good.

159

It's like ultimate stim music if you love a little bit of like

160

Like like really stimulating fun music girl You'll love Japanese hyper pop

161

if you don't already I'll put some of my favorite songs on the screen Obviously, I can't play any cuz copyright

162

but it just like teleports me to a different reality It just makes me feel like everything is awesome.

163

Everything's awesome and beautiful and playful and fun I love to just blast it in my headphones.

164

It feels so good And I absolutely love listening to like vocaloids

165

or people sing in Japanese just because of the way that it sounds.

166

It's like, it's like, like it's so perfectly stimulating to my brain.

167

And that leads me into my next hobby, which is working out to Japanese hyperpop.

168

I cannot work out unless there's a fucking high-pitched vocaloid beat in my ear, blasting into my ear.

169

Okay, look at this.

170

Yeah, that's the hyperpop.

171

that's the hyper pop right there left side not doing too well

172

but for me okay for me that's crazy i've always i've

173

never had any muscle on my arm in my whole life

174

but i recently started working out like lifting weights

175

and to jump these hyper pop of course

176

and oh my god oh my god like i actually have a little bit of muscle going on

177

which is just crazy that's been a really cool thing to like notice myself getting a little bit stronger

178

because i've always been hella hella hella Hella hella hella hella weak, which is not fun.

179

Um, it does not feel good And I hated working out

180

because it just felt like this like big scary world that I didn't know anything about And um, that was just way too much for me Especially

181

because i'm I was so weak

182

that it was just like I don't want to fucking lift weights

183

because I can't you know like that defeated like

184

But then I started I started and I played And now I have a bicep!

185

Kind of a little bit.

186

That's been really rewarding.

187

Highly recommend.

188

I know the workout space can be a little bit intimidating

189

if you've never done it before or don't really vibe with it.

190

But dude, that dopamine hit.

191

That serotonin rush after working out is unlike anything else.

192

People really don't lie when you tell them that you're depressed and they're like, well, do you work out?

193

Do you do physical exercise?

194

And you're like, fuck you!

195

But no, they're right.

196

No, they were right.

197

Yeah, they were right about that.

198

Working out specifically to Japanese hyperpop, let me put you on.

199

And when that beat is just going over, over, over, over, over with like the cute Japanese high pitched voice on top of it, girl, I'm unstoppable.

200

I could do anything.

201

I could do as many reps as I want.

202

Okay, just trust me, okay?

203

Just trust me on this one.

204

Ow, fuck.

205

Now we're gonna go into a different terrain.

206

My next obsession has been dumb phones or flip phones.

207

If you don't know what a dumb phone is, it's basically the opposite of a smartphone.

208

So our smartphones are evil and they're demons and they suck you in

209

and they keep you addicted and they make sure that you're never creative or have an original thought.

210

So that's something I have been really realizing and have become really passionate about is fuck the fucking short form content.

211

Fuck the fucking iPhone.

212

Okay, that's like the rabbit hole that I've been down.

213

My biggest obsession at the moment.

214

I can't stop researching it and watching videos about it.

215

So I've just become really obsessed with researching different kinds of dumb phones, which is basically a phone that can do things that you needed to do, like calling, texting.

216

Some have GPS, like pictures.

217

Some have the ability to download apps.

218

Some don't.

219

Weather, calculator, like, you know, the basics.

220

Like back when phones were like tools that you could actually use.

221

So I researched researched so many different dumb phones

222

and I even bought one for myself

223

But I don't I don't worry I'm making a completely separate video about this topic completely separate

224

because i'm so passionate about it So that's gonna be in the works.

225

I'll see you there.

226

Okay, but um, yeah, so I have recently become Obsessed with the kiosita.

227

What is it called?

228

It's like the kiosita 902 Something something i'll put it on the screen.

229

Okay.

230

The name is a little too long for me I bought myself that phone it's in shipping right now

231

And i'm literally switching from this to that.

232

Um, I also just think they're really CUTE!

233

Look at this phone.

234

Look at this phone.

235

Obviously i'm just gonna have to show you pictures

236

because I don't have mine in real life yet

237

But oh i'm like sus I'm really sus

238

and I can't wait to get it working and use it as my main phone Which again, I have a whole video coming out about that very very very soon

239

So if you've also been really sick of doom scrolling and

240

or dire need of like getting rid of your phone addiction

241

Like myself and like I know most people watching this relate to

242

that video will be for you If any of

243

that resonated with you and you're interested in any of

244

that I Like for an obsession I highly recommend going down

245

the dumb phone rabbit hole on the internet literally just look up like dumb phone on youtube There's

246

so many good videos so many good creators who talk about it What dumb phones are

247

which one they switch to how it changed their life things like that.

248

Okay, so go ahead and go down that rabbit hole Okay

249

Genuinely soon i'm gonna be hanging up calls like this Like okay, I just have to flex.

250

I have to flex this to you.

251

This is my screen time the past few weeks five hours You disgusting six hours

252

and 40 minutes disgusting four hours and 54 minutes disgusting One hour

253

and fifty seven minutes this week down 50 fucking percent try

254

me ho try me ho try me do try me doomscroll try me you can't get to me Yeah, that's also another reason I've been like taking this to the

255

bathroom instead of my phone reading this to bed instead of

256

my phone using a binder instead of my phone you know stuff like

257

that anyway he's got a little bit possessed

258

but um dude it's been it's literally only been like a

259

week of me being super conscious of my screen time

260

and the way that i use my phone

261

and i feel already it's only been one week okay i

262

feel like a different person like my creative ideas are coming out really strong i have

263

so many weird things i write about in this binder i'm obsessed with this series

264

and i've already read six volumes you know like there's just way more room for your passions

265

and your hobbies to exist

266

when you aren't doom doom doom rotting scrolling dying on the internet

267

that and just absorbing all this content

268

that you don't even remember like why do we do

269

that we scroll through like hundreds and hundreds of videos a day like

270

and scroll through hundreds of comments a day

271

and we don't even remember any of it what's the point of

272

that anyway okay okay okay i'm literally i'm literally spoiling the video

273

that i'm gonna be posting aside from this that's completely about this topic

274

so let me just shut that up

275

but yeah anyway that's been my most recent obsession next my hummingbird feeder

276

or just a bird feeder in general mine's just a hummingbird feeder i put one outside my window

277

and so far i've already seen two hummingbirds come visit it

278

and it's the most magical experience i'll be chilling in my room i look up

279

and there's a hummingbird i can't even explain it's insane no

280

fucking social media bullshit can top seeing a hummingbird at your hummingbird feeder Anyway

281

that the last topic is seeping into this one as you can tell i'm really passionate about it Yeah, you just get a little hummingbird feeder um fill it with some like sugar water

282

and They come they flock to you and you get to look at them

283

and it's magical You can also just get a regular bird feeder.

284

Those are also magical It's one of the biggest highlights of my day is looking at the bird feeder.

285

I'm like Oh my god, there's a fancy navy bird

286

And then I have to like go tell everyone in my house There was

287

And they're like did you get a picture of it like can we see it?

288

I'm like, no, it was just there.

289

Like, it was just there and it was, you know, like, shit my pants over it.

290

But, which also leads me into another obsession, which is the Merlin Bird ID app, which is kind of like Pokemon Go for birds in real life.

291

Again, nothing I'm saying in this video is sponsored.

292

I genuinely just like this app.

293

You get to mark every bird that you see.

294

These are the birds I've seen.

295

So it's like, when I see it, I come in here, I find the bird that I saw through their huge catalog of birds.

296

That's easy to sort through because it shows you, like, which ones would be likely in your area

297

and what they sound like

298

so many pictures of what they could look like it's really easy to identify what your bird is

299

but sometimes it's not which makes it really fun it's like a challenge like

300

which one was it i have to see it again whatever you know what i mean

301

and then you can add it to your catalog of birds

302

so it's like literally collecting pokemon

303

but they're real see i have my hummingbird oh yes where's

304

my quail what's my quail i have a quail the fuck i put a quail in here

305

and now it's not in here the fuck yeah

306

and then you can also convince your friends to download it like my brother has it too

307

so we'll like brag about which birds we found to each other i'll text him like

308

when i saw the hummingbird i texted him frantically being like i saw a fucking hummingbird

309

and i gotta put it in my list You know, so it's like a really fun like social activity with your family

310

or your friends And it's also just like really fun

311

and rewarding and it makes you actually look around at nature

312

and be interested in Try and see birds and not be like this

313

when you can look around at all these beautiful birds

314

And then there's like this indicator of all the ones that you saw that you can like collect You know,

315

so a bird feeder slash this bird app have also been one of my recent hobbies bird watching

316

It's way more fun than it sounds.

317

It's fucking awesome Actually, like this one's a little more sick

318

and rare in my area and like I have it So it's like yeah, I have the fucking what is this called california quail do you?

319

Kind of yeah, anyway Yeah,

320

oh you got a magpie same Morning dev Rookie you can pin the exact location you saw the bird to

321

and then label the location So it's like my location here is like home or like my brother's house

322

Or the park like whatever you can like label it whatever the fuck you want where you saw the bird

323

So that's also really nice.

324

Anyway, again, not fucking sponsored.

325

I am not sponsored to say any of this I'm, not getting a fucking dime for recommending any of this.

326

I am Dead ass about that app next vision boards Okay, so if you're kind of like a crafty person

327

or you believe in like manifestation

328

Or just like visualizing what you want for your future and like stuff like that a vision board is so fun Um, I made one literally with sharpie

329

and then now i'm making a more detailed one with my best friend with like cute paper

330

and pens and tape and stuff

331

but you can literally just do it with a marker

332

and a piece of paper and you basically just like write down stuff

333

that you're either wanting to achieve like your manifestations

334

and like what you desire or like things

335

that you really truly believe in or like quotes

336

that are really meaningful to you whatever comes out comes out onto the vision board okay

337

that was really fun my mom actually recommended doing it

338

and i was like what and then i sat down

339

and did it and i was like this is awesome

340

so yeah shoot for the stars like on mine i wrote

341

1 million subscribers in the middle of it like something crazy you want to achieve

342

that might seem super unrealistic write it down anyway kind of

343

thing you know what i mean that's been a pretty fun that's been a pretty fun activity

344

and you can also

345

if you want to be extra you can like put a bunch of stickers

346

and like print out cute pictures

347

and also it doesn't even have to be a vended board

348

for like what you want manifestations it can be like a miku a miku themed Like scrapbook board, you know, like just just shit like that.

349

Give me whatever you want, babe It can be whatever you want whatever Fulfills you in your heart.

350

Okay, and then my last hobby or obsession

351

that actually isn't recent is a very common occurring thing Especially on my channel is thrifting.

352

I love a good thrift I love going to the thrift store.

353

Sometimes when I don't know what to do I just I go to the thrift store.

354

Sometimes I don't even find anything.

355

I just go I'm, oh, I just want to look through all this junk Basically, I just want to look through all of it and see if I could find a gem Um, like the other day I went

356

and the only thing I found was this like little kitty charm That's the only thing I found

357

and it was worth it It's like going and scavenging

358

and sometimes you come out with something and sometimes you don't just like picking through Everything and also just not being wasteful.

359

Like if it's like

360

when you're about to like order something on amazon ask yourself

361

Can I thrift this most of the time the answer is yes First of all good for you

362

because you save money and second of all good for the planet

363

because we already have way too much shit like girl have

364

you seen the landfills have you seen the ocean like like we're just a fucking parasite on this fucking earth

365

but at least you can feel like you're kind of doing something

366

and it's also just really fun to go to the thrift store

367

and look through everything and come out with a one-of-a-kind item

368

that wasn't mass-produced and sold in bulk at least not at the moment

369

that you found it that probably was what happened like five

370

or ten years before it was put in the thrift Store but yeah, you know what I mean?

371

And I just love my room being filled with things

372

that I thrifted because I know that that they came out of my little hunts My little scavenges at the store.

373

Yes.

374

These are all the things I found like a little crow

375

And you never you never know what you're gonna come out

376

with like sometimes I go in Sometimes I go in to find a pj t-shirt

377

and then I come out with a cute little kitty cat Charm like I showed you

378

or you come across a whole bag of like your favorite collector's item in the whole world

379

and it's $3.99 instead of fucking $200 on eBay kind of thing.

380

You know what I mean?

381

There's just, there's so many little pockets of joy to find at the thrift store.

382

Yeah.

383

So yes, that completes my list of my most recent obsessions and hobbies.

384

And I really hope one of them stuck out to you

385

and you're going to kind of incorporate them into your life

386

and what you're doing and my just my main suggestion

387

because almost all of these have come from getting off my phone like i'm sick of

388

that thing i'm sick of

389

that thing like don't get me wrong i absolutely love creating

390

content i love social media i love making youtube videos obviously it's my job

391

but i just mean like the kind of content like tiktok and instagram reels

392

393

¿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.
