i need to show you guys this is the room in case

you guys are wondering i'm staying at the wall street hotel really really spacious

that was to take out from yesterday

this this is to sell my cunoni ampoule i'm gonna put some on my face

so today we are going to meet up with a friend

but most importantly we're gonna have a haircut what i typed

in was like i want like a layered haircut a layered haircut is really popular in korea

so a lot of like korean hair salons popped up too

and then i did book one a korean hair salon in where is it fifth ave

when i go out i just put everything in like mac makeup bag

i love this makeup bag this was like literally all the makeup

i bought with me okay we're gonna put on some spf i think something

that i've been dealing with a lot these days is loneliness you know

and i always felt like

that was like one of my biggest downfalls in life i'm just like oh like you're always

so lonely but then i saw some tiktoks where they were saying like

when you're alone that's truly when you grow i feel a sense of that's true

because it's like you figure out new versions of yourself you're not tied to expectations

but something that i learned is

that i feel like you don't need to be lonely to succeed you know to do things you want to do

clip clip first we're gonna go in with the dior

you guys know i love this one i always use

this it's just easy to blend i'm in o2 it's not like a crazy bronzing color too so

and next i like using this one this is the l 'oreal lumi bronze

this is definitely darker i use it to build definition of anywhere

that i want a bit more bronze bought this yesterday at sephora y 'all saw the winter skin.

I forgot to bring mine.

I bought the Dolce & Gabbana.

This is in Jermaine Rose.

It's like a pink and I bought my Prada.

This one's in Cherry Blaze.

Oh no, it's just in Cherry.

I wore this yesterday so I want to wear this one today.

i always do this

but i just generally feel i'm taking such a fucking long ass time to get ready

but this is the outfit i kind of wanted to wear

this outfit can you guys see me cute okay everyone's wearing jeans

i look better with like high collars let's just click like this we got paul bagels

and that will be the vibes okay let's see where are we going i'm

so confused i'm trying to look oh my god

it's the other direction i hate on google map

i'm a good navigator it's just sometimes with this map it doesn't show you

which way you're supposed to go like look at this i'm moving this way

but why is a little light shining the other way

you know i haven't had a bagel in a long time

but i guess it's just you need to get the bagel in new york

i just thought that because it's inside it's not gonna be as packed but

you know what i could fuck with some sushi i could literally fuck up some sushi right now

wait this place looks really good it's called otani i'm gonna go

You I got salad, and I got soup, so.

So this I saw was $59.

I was originally thinking that they would only give me, like, the actual sushi, but they actually give you a lot,

and I don't think I finished this.

But I ate the equivalent of this for dinner last night, so I'm so excited.

Let's go with this one. so

compared to sushi this one just has too much rice

so i might just eat the sashimi like don't get me wrong

they really do put like a lot of fish you can see how much fish they put

but see this ratio this rice to fish ratio remember yesterday that's probably one size the size of the rice

154

because like she just like yaps to you guys

155

so rosa got my got my mix soon

156

158

morning everyone it is currently 8 30 right now

159

and um it's raining

160

and we're going to go down to the paul bagel we have decided none of us have a fucking umbrella

161

so we're gonna go we're gonna go downstairs

162

because i feel like they're a fancy hotel

163

they should have umbrellas good morning do you guys have an

164

umbrella yes thank you it's raining the entire fucking day streets are

165

so empty y 'all yeah they actually do have five guys oh fuck they do

166

because yesterday i was like do you want to go to fight eye as in like financial district

I think last time I got the ginger lemonade and it was pretty good.

169

But I don't know about the orange juice.

But it says literally in the back it says world's best orange juice.

171

I think it's freshly squeezed y 'all.

172

We have our bagels.

173

Look at that.

174

she said that this one you can just taste the bread

175

because the other one is like you can taste the crispiness of the bagel

176

you can taste the olive oil on the tomato and the lotus

177

and i agree because you come here for like the really crispy stained bagel slice

178

which softly tastes like sourdough we made it back just fine it was kind of rainy

179

218

i really recommend for you to come here like it's really quiet right

219

225

guys this potato is

226

so mushy inside i've never had potatoes like this like fried potatoes this is really decent

227

and this is really really soft too okay we are at

228

and other stories walking in the rain makes me

229

so overstimulate makes me so fucking mad but i'm gonna see

230

if they have a fur coat here it's currently two

231

i can't check in until like three we're getting photos today

232

and i'm just like i just want a fur coat

233

and now that i'm looking i don't think they have one oh wait this is

234

so cute i have a pink look at this i have a pink trench this is

235

so cute y 'all i'm like drenched oh my god

236

after walking around in the rain it's 3 p .m

237

and we checked in and y 'all it's not

238

that pretty y 'all i feel like i got catfished online

239

so this is basically it it's like nice nice and teary

240

but i was just expecting a lot more you know

241

and this is like a really big mirror it's like nice you i like the molding that's being done here

242

and then there's the curtains and there's my friend and two seats

243

and then there's the bed you know nice little chandelier moment

244

and that's it like closet space here is a more closet space

245

and then the craziest thing but i was like

246

because some hotels i get it like they just don't bring deliveries up to your room

247

and i'm just like

248

and i asked them they were like yeah

249

we would have to have to room service people do it

250

it would be an extra 18 dollars for them to bring up to you i'm like they're like yeah

251

because they set it up for you and they like put like the forks

252

and everything and i'm like this is another little closet space right by the door

253

and the bathroom the bathroom is like this okay it's like separated

254

so to shower and then there's the toilet

255

and then there's this okay like she's like cute

256

but like i like my previous hotel better

257

and it was half the price currently

258

we're waiting for them to bring up the suitcases to our room

259

i literally the moment i came in i was telling her i was like i need to cancel this

260

but i can't at least i'm only staying here for one night

261

and i'm getting the fuck out so

262

so i want to show you guys my fit

263

so my mom found this dress i ordered this dress a

264

while ago and we got this dress i think this is from my teresa the shoes are from prada

265

and face cards from my mom does i see some photos here

266

but what sucks is that i ordered a cake

267

and it's not coming soon so i don't know

268

when it's coming i'm getting a photos like one month before my birthday yeah my original plan was

269

that i will be abroad

270

and i just was scared i wasn't able to like book like a really cute hotel

271

but but then i'm like okay maybe i want to cancel

272

that like i want to shorten that trip

273

so now i don't know i bought this at zara

274

because oh my god i didn't pack right i wanted to bring like a fur coat with me

275

and i forgot so i bought this one

276

and surprisingly do you see the vision it's like kind of really nice

277

i'm like we took some photos on the bed because of course

278

and then these little chairs are

279

so cute like i took some on this chair as well

280

so so freaking cute if you guys see them me post them

281

and this is exact fit on my birthday just pretend

282

that you guys didn't know

283

that i literally took them a month before in case

284

you're wondering what bag i got this is my first ever chanel bag

285

and it's the best bag ever this is a small shopping bag i wanted the hobo bag

286

but they didn't have in store

287

so i decided to get this as my birthday present to myself

288

and it's like the gold detail

289

and it's just i just want a really practical bag

290

because you guys know it's like literally right there i don't know if you see it

291

it's my saumon bag like i love my saumon bag down

292

because it's so practical so

293

when i saw this one it's like literally the same it has

294

so many pockets you see in the zipper

295

and look at this little detail this little keychain detail

296

and then there's another zipper inside

297

and i love the burgundy inside

298

it's like similar material where it's very durable like i bought a suede bag with me too

299

i just like i think suede is cute

300

but like even for me like when i bring it around i'm

301

so scared of putting it on the ground

302

but with this type of bag i'm like okay

303

you know like of course i'm gonna take good care of her

304

but it's just they're a lot more durable literally

305

if you don't get the bag you want just know

306

that a better one's waiting for you

307

because i went to like three different chanel stores to get the hobo bag

308

and they were sold out like there was probably just one left

309

and they just didn't look cute so literally thought

310

that the cake was not gonna come

311

because i had my friend order it for me

312

and oh my god came the ever cake they said

313

that they were going to bring me utensils

314

but they didn't bring it for me so

315

but this was from the ever cake my friend literally had

316

to call them like 20 times to make sure like it was delivered

317

but oh my god sparkles but this is so gorgeous i'm

318

so excited to eat her and oh okay they literally just delivered this to me

319

and now i'm just like are they gonna charge me for this

320

because i remember they said if we

321

if they did like some room service something they're gonna charge me it's gonna be like 18 bucks

322

or something i have no idea

323

but the guy just delivered it i literally thought he was just gonna bring me like regular utensils

324

but i'm gonna call them because i'm gonna be a bitch about it

325

because like they're sneaky

326

they don't tell you shit let me just call them to

327

make sure hi is this the front desk okay okay thank you

328

so much i don't know i just feel the service here just rude like they hang up

329

so fast and did you i don't like i don't want to like nitpick at all

330

but literally this guy he just like literally just pushed it in

331

and he didn't even close the door had the door shut on my table

332

i'm like it's it's rude it's rude

333

i'm just like the whole service here is just kind of rude i'm telling you guys this

334

because this is like an expensive hotel and i just think

335

that the previous two hotels i've stayed at they were really nice

336

you know they're really kind anyways at least we have our place in the cake i'm gonna go downstairs

337

and pick up my friend rosa

338

because she's here in case y 'all are wondering oh my god

339

it says pearls in case

340

you're wondering what the cake looks like like she literally has little pearls in there like she's stunning anyways

341

we have our little cake let me see the angle let

342

me see how it looks on the phone oh maybe

343

it's too light okay maybe let's do the flash actually number one angle number two angle number one

344

angle we have this little thing right here that we're gonna eat the cake in

345

this goes down really smooth very sturdy oh i got the vanilla

346

i'm gonna grab myself this piece i'm pretty good at cutting cake it's so dense

347

holy fuck that's good

348

because usually this part of the cake is really hard i mean really soft

349

and fluffy it's really hard it's like a pound cake yeah oh

350

this is dangerous i feel like i could finish a whole fucking cake

351

i think i got their best seller flavoring i think

352

it's just vanilla i'm gonna have rosa watch the haunted hotel

353

we're gonna start from season one season two just came out

354

and we also ordered from the blue ribbon literally they would not bring up our food

355

and i felt so bad for the door dash driver

356

because literally they said they wouldn't want to take liability for the food

357

i'm like you brought out my cake though

358

and i had no idea they were just having to door dash driver like wait downstairs

359

i'm like come on at least let them leave at the lobby so they can go to the next order

360

it's currently 9 33 i'm literally gonna wake up tomorrow at 6 a .m

361

because my lulu delivery is coming in at like 8 like they gave me a time frame

362

but i think they're gonna come earlier

363

and then right after i booked i booked the flight back to boston

364

because i miss boston

365

and i want to see it during the fall season i feel it's gonna be

366

so amazing i might just stay there for some time

367

and yeah i'll keep you guys posted

368

i will see you guys tomorrow at like fucking 6 a .m bro oh my god

369

okay we are home it is it is like eight o 'clock right

370

now i was about to fall asleep i wanted to first set up this camera

371

and i also booked the flight back to boston i came back for my lulu in georgia shipment

372

and usually they said they'll text you 30 minutes before i'm like i don't know

373

because i feel a little shower guys this outfit

374

i've been wearing for the past three days oh this one my sony

375

so i found a battery it was lying on the ground in here you just think

376

that you're thinking clearly when you only got three hours of sleep

377

that day truthfully you are not also i do want to say something

378

which is on here is that in real time right now i missed another upload

379

but that's because it's because i felt like there was too many china vlogs

380

and i was getting that like sick of it

381

but i just felt it was getting repetitive

382

i was like oh my god i i feel you guys are sick of it

383

and low -key i'm i kind of want something new i do want to give an update which is

384

that i might not be always be doing weekly uploads like

385

i'll try my best to do weekly uploads yeah most i'll probably take like like i'll take a week off

386

and then i'll upload you know i don't think

387

that would happen often

388

but i just want i just want to give you guys a heads up you know i'll be honest

389

that takes a little bit like some pressure off of me as well honestly coming back

390

i feel a lot better i feel like i didn't really have much time for myself

391

but i could not find the charger for the camcorder oh maybe i just have this plugged in

392

and i just charge it you know also literally we came back from the plaza

393

and oh my god the pictures turned out good pictures turned out good

394

it was just the vibes i just didn't like it people were rude

395

and also it was hard to call the car it was just hard to call an uber

396

and people just gave you attitude and then

397

that just didn't happen with the previous two hotels

398

you know people were just nice

399

i just don't know what they were giving me attitude for it was just weird

400

we're definitely unloading this i bought so much random fucking shit i do not need number one number

401

no oh so much clothes to wash this beautiful sequin dress i wore for my birthday

402

okay all that's left in here is my skincare and my makeup

403

and my brushes and that i'm gonna bring i just made the delivery

404

and i want to show you guys

405

this is what she looks like this is what we have here ignore like the chairs

406

and everything still trying to make things work

407

and all the flowers you see here are fake

408

i just don't want them dying in the winter basically

409

it's like two tables there's two separate tables you can pull her out

410

or whatnot and i just like the plan dimension

411

412

i wanted something a bit more vintage

413

you know like very standard like just a like a table

414

with like pointy legs maybe just matching like the vibes of these like very dainty

415

but then i was like you know what maybe let me play with something more like rounder

416

and thicker i just feel that makes the place a bit more modernized

417

if that makes sense this is how everything looks

418

and i really like this table

419

because this table is really big i'm still debating how i feel about

420

that couch right there a lot of you guys found it really cute

421

422

that it's like sitting there you know it's just sitting there i don't know how i feel about that

423

but slowly things are coming together

424

425

i'm like debating whether i want to put a mirror instead

426

and like screw in two like lamp lights on the side

427

or have this painting

428

i also want to add curtains to these windows like i have they have the automatic blinds

429

that you guys have seen but i'm not going to remove them

430

because they look fine

431

433

but i know

434

that as time goes on it'll start feeling more like mine like even

435

436

i should just like chill here once the place becomes more practical

437

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
