4
morning vlog excuse the messy hair we have not gotten ready
5
for the day yet put on these eye patches i just
6
got these mediheal eye patches they're like these retinol ones
7
and i've honestly i've been using them in the morning
8
and night really trying to brighten up my under eyes
9
because i haven't been sleeping well so i've been getting some dark circles and i'm trying to
10
combat it as much as I can.
11
Spring isn't in the air because my allergies have been kicking my butt.
12
Yesterday I literally had a very lazy day.
13
I was supposed to have a very, I was supposed to do a bunch of things yesterday.
14
I thought I was getting sick again
15
but then it just turned out to be my allergies
16
because finally when I took a nap
17
and took a bunch of allergy medicine it kicked in and I finally started feeling so much better.
18
But let me show you what I did yesterday.
19
I used my rest day to put together this lego harry potter mandrake.
20
Look how cute it is.
21
I've had it on my shelf for a
22
while to do in the box
23
and i was like you know what i don't need a doom scroll today let's just build some legos
24
so finally took a couple hours and built this bad boy it's
25
so cute you literally let me nerd out real quick
26
but anyway i'm gonna put it back on the shelf um
27
that is what i did yesterday
28
but this morning i have i just woke up woke up late around eight
29
because again my allergies have been kicking my butt but I had some breakfast.
30
I literally just did a sudoku puzzle.
31
I've been really I've been really trying to get back on my sudoku grind
32
because I was just thinking about how we need to exercise our brains more
33
and how much we don't exercise our brains so did my sudoku puzzle.
34
It was one of the easy ones but I struggled and I completed it.
35
We have some work cut out for us this morning
36
because Project Hail Mary is coming out tonight in theaters
37
but tomorrow some of the but Club Girlies and I are going to go see it in IMAX.
38
And as you can see, I have half a book to read today.
39
It is honestly no fret because literally yesterday, I think I read 150 pages.
40
So that's what our goal is today is to finish that book.
41
So just going to do some morning stretches, going to read.
42
I'm going to time myself because I want to read for about an hour
43
and a half to hour and 45 because today at 1.30, we have our personal training appointment.
44
Some stretches.
45
Let's do some light yoga poses and then read before we gotta head out to the gym.
46
So let's do that.
47
Get some meditation in and lock in some reading time.
48
Hi, oh my gosh, hello vlog.
49
It's the next day.
50
Do you see that?
51
Sun.
52
It's sunny.
53
It has been so ugly for days here.
54
Like rain, wind, sideways rain.
55
It has been truly like Seattle winter the past couple days.
56
But like I said, it's the next day and it is about 2 30.
57
I've just kind of been focusing on reading and getting my work done.
58
I've been I mean I've been kind of getting work done because I've been so focused on reading.
59
Oh it is just such the most beautiful day right now.
60
It's like literally truly it's making me giddy because it's been so emo.
61
Full twilight here.
62
75 pages away from finishing project Hail Mary and the movie is at 4 30.
63
So with that being said I kind of want to head out now.
64
It turned out to be such a pretty day
65
so I think I'm going to go ride a bike around the city
66
and then go to the movies to meet the book club release
67
but like I said we have a big group
68
so I want to go kind of early and just post up in line.
69
I don't even know what time the doors open for IMAX.
70
Let's see.
71
Hi there, thank you for going to the Pacific Center.
72
How can I help you?
73
Anyway, let's go pack our bag, get on a bike, and head to the movies.
74
And I will see you guys on the bike.
75
Let's go.
76
I'm gonna open it up.
77
I just do it in the box.
78
I don't think she never went to.
79
Good morning vlog.
80
Good morning.
81
Good morning.
82
Happy Saturday.
83
Today is a very special day because I have a very exciting guest coming over.
84
My friend Gabby.
85
We haven't physically seen each other in years.
86
What year was that?
87
It was the year that Drake toured, which had to be like two, three.
88
Damn.
89
Feels like a lifetime ago, but she is in town for the weekend.
90
So I have a very special day planned for her.
91
I'm
92
so proud I vibe coded a website for her to tell
93
her what we're doing today It's much cooler on the computer
94
But it opens to this home screen that you must type a password into
95
and then you type in the unlocking spell It takes you to the next page
96
and then I even made the cursor a little wand
97
And then it reveals our itinerary for the day
98
So this is a saturday in seattle curated for gabrielle
99
and then you click next and then I just literally put in what our little play-by-play is of the day.
100
I thought she might appreciate that because I think we're both very type A people.
101
I think we both want to know like what time we're going to do things-ish so we know what to wear, how we can be prepared, just all the things.
102
I just feel like it makes type A people feel better.
103
You know, I have just been like cleaning up as much as I can.
104
Place is probably the cleanest it's been in a minute.
105
First up, we're going to go, of course, get some matcha, some breakfast.
106
We're going to probably run and do like a photo booth, stay tourist for a little bit, go to the market.
107
And then we're going to ride our bikes to just up and down the waterfront.
108
First, we're going to take out Kuma.
109
He's going to come join us for a minute and then hang out here for a bit.
110
Maybe go to the art museum, but we'll see.
111
We'll see.
112
We'll see because it's such a nice day.
113
We literally could end up doing anything and everything.
114
And then tonight we're going to have dinner and go to sushi hand rolls.
115
And then after hand rolls we are gonna go to a bad bunny laser show.
116
I forgot about that.
117
Oh my gosh It's gonna be so late.
118
So we're gonna have to be very Caffeinated today because we have a big day ahead of us.
119
It's bad bunny laser show tonight at the pacific science center I'm, actually very excited gabby and her partner are a very very big bad bunny fans
120
So when I saw that there was a laser show at the pacific science center, I immediately got to take it So he's gonna join us tonight.
121
My boyfriend might join us He's away on a business trip right now, but is gonna come home hopefully in time to join us tonight, but we'll see um, we'll see.
122
I think it's time to head out we're gonna go walk
123
and pick up miss gabby and then Go get our first matcha
124
and things of the day So after the market i'm taking gabby to the pottery studio
125

157
Yeah, that's better.
158

159
These are giving.
160
I think I like them.
161
I think the other ones were like...
162
Yeah.
163
I think we went for a rectangle frame.
164
Cute!
165
Making my way down there.
166
We're going to Arendelle Books again because this place is one of the most beautiful bookstores in Seattle, I have to say.
167
And I'm excited to see Gaby Traction.
168
Oh!
169
Yeah, yeah.
170
We're just nonchalantly looking at books.
171
Whoa!
172
I have not seen that.
173
It's like peach.
174
Why does this look so much bigger than I remember?
175
Dude, Iron Flame's fat.
176
Ew!
177
That's what I was like.
178
Wait, the font is- Oh!
179
Maybe it has bonus chapters.
180
Certain books have bonus chapters.
181
Did you read the one with bonus chapters?
182
Yeah.
183
Ugh.
184
No, there's always a bonus.
185
You're lying.
186
Shut up.
187
And it's only $12.
188
You're kidding me.
189
I missed bonus chapters.
190
Yeah.
191
Wait, how do I know?
192
It's not going to be at the end, but it'll show Zayvon's appeal.
193
Shut up.
194
Oh, I don't know how to do this.
195
I didn't know that.
196
Is this for that.
197
Or you can look it up online if your copy doesn't have.
198
But there are bonus chapters from ZN's POV.
199
But why is it so much bigger?
200
And the font looks smaller.
201
That's what I'm saying, like how much more is in here?
202
Wait, why do I not remember this being in my book?
203
That's not in the book.
204
Only this is.
205
I'm pretty sure.
206
Shut up.
207
I've never seen this.
208
It's only 12 it's used probably too.
209
God damn it.
210
Alrighty.
211
You're coming home with me.
212
We're so easy.
213
Okay, everyone we have a hole.
214
Hall time!
215
I'm gonna get this.
216
This is crazy actually.
217
I want to film this.
218
Wow, two and one?
219
I know.
220
Okay.
221
I think you should go first with your haul.
222
Okay, let's show them what we both got.
223
Okay.
224
We both got a book tracker.
225
It's for one book at a time and you track your pages.
226
and it was very very freaking cute and i'm
227
so excited what's the nut hold on we both got this
228
i'll let gabby go into depth thing we got together are
229
these little book trackers it kind of gave me like library
230
vibe specifically i think it's just a cute way to document
231
like where you're at on the page like what are you
232
gonna do once you're done with like each page i am
233
gonna put it in my little memento toolbox that'd be cute
234
i was thinking maybe i'd leave it in the book oh like the front
235
you know like
236
and like the date you read yeah that's kind of cute
237
did you know killian murphy actually every time he finishes a book he puts the date
238
and then where he's at oh that's cute
239
because he like travels a lot
240
so he'll put like the country oh that's good that's really good okay we have to do that then
241
because this has a start finish oh best part of the
242
book it's like a full-on little book report okay we have to write
243
that on the back then that's really smart
244
because he's just an actor traveling around yeah you know he's low-key a fire dj he's just a cool I'm like, honestly, kind of the actor's inspo.
245
That's funny.
246
Like him and Idris.
247
Yes.
248
I am so inspired.
249
Next, we both got copies of The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.
250
This has been my TBR for forever.
251
I'm so excited.
252
And it's used.
253
Yes.
254
We went to the used bookstore for this.
255
And this one, I genuinely don't know, but it was $15.
256
It's supposed to be special.
257
This edition for some reason.
258
Actually, I should probably figure that out.
259
I think it's just the old edition.
260
Okay, let's see one that's on the publisher.
261
I love the look of like a really good condition of like used.
262
What's your guess?
263
What's your guess?
264
What's your guess?
265
Um, frick, I don't know.
266
1900?
267
All of these?
268
1971. But like, which?
269
It doesn't seem that old.
270
I mean, that doesn't seem that far away.
271
But technically, that's almost 60 years.
272
Oh.
273
Dang.
274
That is kind of old.
275
That is old.
276
Next.
277
You have the cool ones.
278
Y'all, these, I did not mean to go this hard, but what was the place called?
279
Frida, I went to Frida.
280
Yeah, she took me to Frida and it's like basically what, like...
281
Vintage curation and some like minor retails.
282
You guys, I've been on the hunt for like the perfect rectangle lens, just clear glass.
283

285

286
It is getting very sexy reader.
287
Wait, I love that.
288
I'm gonna look in the mirror.
289

290
That was so leocoded.
291
I'm looking at the camera.
292

293
I'm not.
294
Let me look in the clear.
295
Wait.
296
No, I'm not getting like, not to glaze her.
297
But like when she put them on, I was like, yeah.
298
Yeah, she knew it was coming out.
299
Oh my God.
300
Kuma.
301
Bro, is it because we're not giving you attention?
302
Obsessed with these frames.
303
You guys know I wear my blue light glasses all the time, but I don't have any rectangle lens like this.
304
They're pretty good.
305
Kuma looks so locked in to what I'm saying right now.
306

314
Oh, there's the damage.
315
It's not too bad.
316
It's already used.
317
And both don't know why this book is bigger than the other copies.
318
It's a little bit bigger than the original.
319
Maybe there's bonus chapters in here.
320
She hasn't read the bonus chapters of Iron Flame, period.
321
I didn't even know.
322
There's some in like the first book too.
323
The cover's gorge.

397
Hello everybody It's been a couple days This looks
398
so cozy right now It's currently 10pm I just wanted to
399
check in as I've had some time to reflect on the incredible day that I got to have over the weekend.
400
Drinking some peppermint tea or I'm waiting for it to steep.
401
I've been having a little bit of a busy work week and just existing in the physical realm.
402
But I've had a few days to just reflect on all the abundance of fun and love in my life right now.
403
Especially the day that Gabby and I got to spend together.
404
I just feel like I'm reeling from that still
405
and it was such a good day and really just makes me feel
406
so incredibly grateful to have such amazing friends in my life
407
and friends that truly feel like they have been sent to exist,
408
that they have been sent to be in our lives for so much grander reasons.
409
I fully believe that there are no coincidences in this realm
410
and that everything is meant to happen for a reason
411
and I truly feel like my friendship with Gabby is just such a beautiful thing.
412
I'm so grateful.
413
We had such a good day On paper was just a like cute Girly day.
414
I mean we went to bookstores.
415
I mean you guys saw it went to bookstores.
416
We biked around It was such a fun day
417
but being able to have a friendship where uplifts you
418
and challenges you and just aligns with your mentality your morals
419
and your dreams is just such a beautiful thing and I'm
420
so grateful for that and I do have I guess I do have some pride in
421
that I'm very proud of that because one making friends is hard two making friends
422
that truly just align with you is another battle
423
and I'm so grateful and I and I just am I just am
424
so grateful on April 2nd we just had the pink full moon in alignment with the first of the month
425
and I feel like I am just letting
426
that sink in I think I'm thinking about all this too
427
because I actually spoke on campus at UW last night on a panel to a new club
428
that a new club chapter that just started at UW called Reach
429
and I didn't I unfortunately didn't vlog and I honestly was a bit nervous
430
so I was just focusing on getting ready and getting out the door
431
and getting to that panel but I don't know
432
if any of you watching this are from like my OG vlogging days
433
but I started vlogging on YouTube when I was in college at University of Washington
434
and sitting in that room with these new students curious about content creation
435
and that stuff did not exist when I was in school and it just was such an out-of-body
436
experience truly to answer these young people's questions and
437
filled with gratitude here we are again yapping a lot anywho
438
thank you guys as always have a lovely sunday everybody comment
439
a teapot emoji have a lovely rest of your day i will see you guys in the next one

¿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.
