I'm like actually getting into the groove of this house, which makes me really happy.
2
It's coming together.
3
I'm excited to see how this turns out.
4
Honestly, seeing that molding go up today fucking shook me to the core.
5
The guy was grabbing my shrimp and my scallop with his bare hands with no gloves on.
6
Talk about what you're grateful for because I think there's a lot of things in life.
7
Whoa!
8
That's like so much sugar.
9
I don't care.
10
It's crazy how a bit of molding can change the entire place.
11
Good morning everyone.
12
Welcome back to my channel.
13
Today they are doing molding right now
14
and that's going to probably take like a week all the way up until I go to China.
15
So I'm going to show you guys what they're doing right now.
16
It's the first day.
17
Currently what we're doing is that we're doing chair rail.
18
The guy I spoke to, he did like a lot of different moldings and he picked out a pretty thick piece and I want to do panels.
19
We're first just going to focus on my foyer and also like
20
that dining area nook and then we're going to move towards the master bedroom.
21
I'm excited to see how it looks because personally I've always wanted to do molding.
22
I feel like molding just adds a lot of character to
23
a house without doing too much like thick wall beard could
24
sometimes just be a bit much like to me it feels like it's like enhancing.
25
Anyways, we're gonna go see what they're doing right now.
26
You put every piece because if you put this piece without having your piece, it wouldn't be okay.
27
Yes.
28
So this piece goes in here.
29
Oh wow okay.
30
See?
31
Yes.
32
right currently this is what we've got done we put the chair rail
33
and if you see they also made the mark for where the panels are gonna be
34
but they're gonna redo it and make it up to here
35
because the guy recommended me was that he said
36
that i should do like an archway also one right here right underneath the ceiling
37
because if it goes beyond the ceiling look a little weird something like this
38
and we're gonna add in like these very thick crown moldings all around this was really nice
39
and i was also thinking like this is gonna cost more money
40
but this was something i always wanted to do either you do it
41
or you don't do the moldings or i sit with a house
42
that i don't really like you can see how much of
43
a difference it makes once the molding is there at first
44
i thought this would be too thick it wouldn't look right
45
but you can see how nicely it just makes the whole place this is my leftover toast orange juice right now
46
i finished my cream juice
47
and i feel like drinking like a juice in the morning is good This was like my leftover breakfast
48
I also got this beautiful bouquet bottle.
49
I saw my boobs, but I don't have vases at my place right now.
50
I might give it to them I got this beautiful dress sent by Soli.
51
The moment I opened her, I was like she's so heavy I was like I didn't remember ordering this.
52
It kind of reminds me of like a cheap haul.
53
Look at that.
54
Okay, y'all, it's been a few hours and look at what they did.
55
This looks so good.
56
I was actually worried that this would just be too thick of a piece, but I trusted the guy's judgment.
57
He was like, you know, this is going to look really good.
58
And I was actually going to put a second piece inside, but I think this is actually good.
59
I feel like I shouldn't overcomplicate it.
60
Like simple looks better because originally I was going to do two layers, but this looks really good.
61
And you see that piece right there looks amazing.
62
And we're going to do like the inside and all of these two.
63
I don't know if you can see the lines all the way up, but this looks so good.
64
I'm so glad we did the molding guys like this looks
65
so fucking good because I was worried
66
that it will just look like a play date house you
67
know like this literally looks like it belongs to the house you know it looks amazing they told me
68
that they'll be back here tomorrow at 9 a.m not to finish they said
69
that it'll take a week for them to finish I'm
70
so excited guys this looks so freaking good they'll work on the foyer first
71
but then they'll come into my bedroom just imagine it is currently 7 p.m
72
and I just finished filming I refilmed a brand deal
73
because as you guys know my skin was really inflamed from
74
the tin of fish right also i hate the lights i'm
75
still debating whether i want to do a full kitchen renovation
76
and i think i might have to i don't know
77
if i want to just change the cabinets
78
or just paint the cabinets i'm not sure what i want
79
to do remember my previous apartment it had like those like hidden led lights i want to get those installed
80
because i bought the ones from amazon they're just not the
81
same like you can see the wires like i want it
82
to be hidden underneath the cabinets these cabinets are from father wood
83
and remember i went there
84
and also are these under warranty can i change them to me anyways wait guys this is
85
so sweet i literally been getting
86
so many flowers i got this one flower this is
87
so freaking adorable i got this freaking bouquet from clarence they also sent me some of their new lip stains
88
which i'm going to try later this is literally
89
so sweet thank you clarence this is
90
so nice guys i've been on my like juice grind i got a green juice this morning
91
and then i had this one it makes me really energized
92
because you guys know i have not been eating fruits okay
93
it's really bad i'm like this is such a lazy way to eat a fruit
94
because i know i don't like smoothie i don't like the thickness of it in my mouth, but a juice is just so easy to swallow.
95
And I don't want to hear anyone in the comments like, that's like so much sugar.
96
I don't care.
97
It's better than me knocking any of my fiber in.
98
Okay.
99
I have not been eating my veggies y'all or my fruits.
100
Also guys, let me just show you the molding.
101
Is this molding not Gorgina?
102
It's gorgeous.
103
And they also just put like a bunch of these like
104
sort of stuff on the ground to make sure like the floor doesn't get ruined.
105
But guys, just look at how perfect this looks.
106
It's crazy how a bit of molding can change the entire place.
107
Look at how they did my entrance near the door they
108
literally focused on like the detail they even added a piece right here i love it when contractors
109
or people who do these sort of stuff for your house
110
like they pay attention to details you know i wouldn't say the price of it was low
111
but it wasn't like crazy high either word of advice for me is
112
that definitely pay a bit extra especially for things
113
if it's like in your house something that's going to be
114
forever here it's better to pay a bit more than paying
115
so little where it's like as years go by like you can see it getting ruined
116
and the quality is not great and then you need someone to touch it up
117
which is gonna be more money i just think
118
that molding is one of those things you should really put in the investment
119
because originally i was gonna do it myself
120
or i was gonna get like those like sticky ones unless you're really good
121
and you know what you're doing then go ahead i don't know shit about what i'm doing
122
and these people they just know what they're doing i don't know
123
if by the end of this vlog we're gonna finish
124
but um i remember in my last vlog i said i
125
was gonna cook guys i don't think i'm gonna keep my
126
promise i'm sorry there's some people who do drugs this is what i do
127
but these are my mej clips i'm fucking obsessed with mej okay
128
and before you come for me i do think
129
that there might be types of this in korea
130
but i just want to say that i really do love their stuff
131
because they're like the only hair cloths that is
132
so fucking strong i genuinely don't know why it's so strong
133
but they're just so freaking adorable and it's very like nice
134
and it doesn't fall okay literally these little angel
135
and i remember i really wanted to get these i think
136
they're just constantly sold out i actually wanted the white ones these pink ones are cute i have this one
137
and then I have another one and then there's this one.
138
These are little clouds with the fucking gems.
139
This is what I do with my fucking adult money.
140
Okay.
141
Also guys, I literally just ordered a bunch of furniture yesterday.
142
Furniture is so expensive.
143
I ordered this like custom corner couch because if you remember, there's just one corner.
144
It's like right past the dining room.
145
There's like this little nook.
146
And I mentioned, I don't want a dining table, like a long ass dining table.
147
I just feel like what's the point of having six
148
or eight seats when I know I'm not gonna invite that much people to my house ever.
149
The fuck?
150
So I ordered a custom little nook chair.
151
And I'm a little worried because now we're doing the fucking boards.
152
I did select the option where they need to cut into the couch to include a baseboard
153
because I told her they're gonna be a baseboard.
154
Because this entire thing is about three feet.
155
I was scared of it hitting here, but it shouldn't.
156
Okay, I'm gonna double check to make sure I got the dimensions right
157
because imagine paying that much money and you get the wrong fucking couch.
158
And you can't return these because they're custom made.
159
Yeah, I did select ad baseboard accommodation.
160
Hold on, wait, I'm gonna message them.
161
Hey, don't clap away.
162
What, she's 96 inches tall?
163
What, 96?
164
I'll put the other side.
165
104. Wait, why are they not showing me the dimensions?
166
Because I made an order and now I can't even see what the fuck was my order.
167
Can you double check to make sure this is the right measurements?
168
Okay, that was a bunch of gibberish, but you know what?
169
They're gonna get my point.
170
I'm debating what I want to eat.
171
I look so good right now.
172
I realize that whenever I do these waffles, I always end up looking like shit.
173
I had to refilm for a brand deal because, did I tell you guys?
174
You guys know I film brand deals.
175
I always put a lot of thoughts into my brand deals.
176
And I'm sure a lot of other creators do as well, because especially if I'm making my own beauty brand for the future
177
and it's like
178
if i ever do marketing for myself like i would really
179
appreciate people to just demonstrate the product well brands are giving
180
me this opportunity to demonstrate the product well like i need to do it to my best
181
because that's how i would want others to do it for
182
me i remember i sent in this draft for the brand
183
it was already my second draft the first one i filmed i didn't send it
184
and i liked it and that was already two hours
185
and then i refilmed it and i edited it
186
which was another two hours
187
and they got back with me for the feedback they gave me the green light saying
188
that it's fine but i looked back at it
189
and my face was very inflamed like you probably can't notice the difference
190
but i can because i look at myself every day it was really red
191
because of the tin fish i was literally like it's
192
because of the water no it was because of the tin fish so yeah
193
so you're working out don't eat a lot of tin fish
194
i haven't ate it since then i really do miss it though
195
but i'm trying not to touch on it
196
because generally it ruins my skin i think it's
197
because i ate too much of it but you can see now it's
198
so much better ever since i moved in here like this entire past few months has just been a lot
199
and i realized like i'm not really the type to really celebrate myself
200
which is not good and i want to fix
201
that literally placing all the furniture
202
and stuff i was like you know what like i need to treat myself
203
because also i'm going to china for like a month
204
and i was like i have no colors in my wardrobe
205
besides like some of the stuff i bought from la oh
206
i also went to la did i tell you guys it's
207
my first time in la i did not vlog it
208
but it was really fun i was staying in this really nice airbnb
209
and so i I went to this Reformation Vintage store and they had like a lot of like colorful clothing.
210
And I was like, this is going to be my summer.
211
Last night I was on Farfetch.
212
I love that website because they just have like a lot of different like style clothing.
213
I ordered a bunch of clothing.
214
Not only that, I ordered some of my dream bags.
215
I've been eyeing these bags probably for a few months now.
216
Like they're like just a pop of color.
217
And then now that I'm settled in, I'm like, I'm ordering furniture.
218
I'm like, you know what?
219
I'm going to get this shit for myself.
220
Like, you know, a little push me present because like I fucking want it.
221
I'm going to do it.
222
I think bags and shoes are things that you should invest in because you're gonna wear them every day, but shoes, it's gonna be on the ground.
223
And also bags, you're gonna be putting it everywhere.
224
Those, Those I think are worth the investment.
225
And you should buy it from reputable brands.
226
For me, one of my favorite brands.
227
Like luxury brands.
228
Prada shoes, y'all.
229
You guys know how many pairs I have.
230
They're so comfortable.
231
Not the shade.
232
Some luxury item shoes, they are not comfortable.
233
Like they hurt your feet.
234
But Prada is not that girl.
235
And also their backs.
236
I love their bonnie bag.
237
I bought a pink one.
238
I've been eyeing that fucking bonnie bag for so long
239
that I was like, You know what? i'm gonna do it i'm gonna wear the out of it in china
240
because i have a black one it's literally right here i
241
wear her everywhere it's like just strappy like the perfect amount of strap it's just like
242
so cool and it's just such a good soft bag
243
and the things that i used to have like the ysl chain bag no shade to ysl
244
but that one it was so heavy like it's like the chains
245
and it just didn't feel good
246
and also i love poland i'm not trying to shade on other brands
247
but i just wanted you guys to also make a good
248
purchase i have this poland one it's really cute i wear
249
her sometimes it's just really rigid sometimes it's hard to put
250
your hand in there i like things where it's like more foldable
251
but i think as a crossbody bag i wouldn't wear her
252
but maybe as a handbag i would okay i'm just sorry i'm just a little passionate about this
253
because i do just think
254
that it's a really good investment really good bag anyways i
255
did treat myself i'm gonna do a little unboxing i'm gonna film it later for tiktok
256
and i'm gonna show you guys the items i got i'm
257
so excited it's probably gonna come in tomorrow
258
but those make me feel better i'm like wow okay the
259
sun's slowly the set it's already 7 30 i'm gonna order
260
some takeout i'm watching tv i'm like actually getting into the groove of this house
261
which makes me really happy because like that's how i was in my new york apartment
262
and some of you guys might be that's like
263
so boring like all you do is just eat
264
and you watch tv i'm like what else is there sometimes after a day i'm just like sitting here
265
and my god i'm just chilling it's just nice sometimes life is just not
266
that deep you know sometimes i think life is really deep
267
but really it's not you wake up you eat you work you have fun
268
and i go to bed
269
and i think truly in life what gets me through is
270
just getting out of my comfort zone at least for me it's starting to feel boring
271
and i don't like to be bored
272
and i realize whenever i push myself out of my comfort
273
zone even just by a little bit like i don't want to leave the house
274
and then i leave the house you know because sometimes
275
when you look back at yourself you're like oh a year ago i would have never done
276
that you know it shows growth these days i wonder to myself i'm like why are some older people just
277
so confident and i didn't think it's just because
278
when you're younger it's really good to just get all these experiences that just teaches you lessons You know, you need to do things that's out of your comfort zone.
279
So when you get older, things become easier for you.
280
I saw this one TikTok where a girl said that like in your 20s, you got to hustle or like do stuff.
281
Like hustling as in like pushing yourself.
282
Just doing things that kind of scare you.
283
Because if you don't do them, when you get older, that shit's going to scare you.
284
And you don't have the experiences from when you're younger.
285
It's better to get these experiences when you're younger.
286
So when you get older, life's become easier for you.
287
There's going to be difficulties when you get older too, like your health.
288
Health is one of those things where I'm like, you know, that's the biggest thing
289
that I'm scared with aging like personally for me i'm like you know
290
if i get wrinkles i get wrinkles
291
if i get old i get old whatever i don't care
292
but what worries me as i get older i'm like oh
293
my brain's not gonna be functioning as well i'm not gonna be moving as fast my body's gonna deteriorate
294
because right now your body can just withstand a lot of stuff
295
that when you're older you can't it gets you're just like at least i'm young
296
and honestly if you tell this to me
297
when i was 18 i would not know what the you
298
mean i was in high school i think it's after you get out of the institution like after college
299
that you truly live because i think when you're in the institution at least for me i I wasn't truly living.
300
Like, I was just going to classes.
301
Like, everyone made that schedule for me.
302
Like, I never had myself make a schedule for myself.
303
And I remember, like, graduating and having to do that for myself.
304
It was, like, the most jarring experience ever.
305
I was going crazy.
306
I was like, ooh, this is interesting.
307
Also, do not know what the fuck I'm doing.
308
Like, I think, like, I've gotten smarter where I know how to do, like, adult stuff.
309
Like, paying bills.
310
I know how to do that.
311
But it was never hard.
312
It was just new.
313
Because I started vlogging again, something about, like, just posting again on YouTube makes me want to solo travel.
314
I did book a solo trip to lisbon.
315
Okay, I booked that shit.
316
I'm going end of september like i'm coming back from china mid-september
317
and i'm gonna stay here in the house to watch some Constructions for a week
318
and i'm gonna go to lisbon because I told myself I wanted like european
319
or like something somewhere new For the summer literally
320
when I come back from china i'm going straight there I get so scared with solo traveling.
321
Honestly, I get a lot of anxiety with it
322
But I still do it but because I booked this like
323
so in advance like literally two months in advance that's a problem
324
that future me has to deal with i'm not dealing with
325
that you take it step by step you go step by step you take the best step you know now
326
and you go forward with that
327
and life is gonna figure itself out i don't think in
328
life you have to be the best of the best you just have to slowly climb
329
and be consistent and you're gonna get there even
330
when it looks like there's not much progress
331
but you're always trying to improve it's always in the back
332
of your head then you're slowly gonna get better also seeing
333
that molding go up today shook me to the core like come on guys is Is that not so fucking good?
334
Like literally you guys don't know how much doubt I had.
335
I was like this is gonna look like ass.
336
Also my parents are gonna come over on Wednesday.
337
They're gonna stay here for a bit.
338
And then we're gonna head back to Boston.
339
I booked our China trip for all of us to depart from Boston.
340
I'm so excited actually.
341
Imagine me getting a fucking lit ass car.
342
Like a bougie ass fucking car.
343
See that's something I would do if I knew how to drive.
344
Maybe I'm excited about life but I just don't know it.
345
Sometimes I think I take peace for granted.
346
Sometimes maybe my life is just peaceful but I find problems with it.
347
I'm just always looking for like next thing.
348
Like once the molding is done, I'm gonna start targeting the wallpaper.
349
Once the wallpaper is done, I'm gonna start like fucking looking at the furniture and shit.
350
It's 11 p.m.
351
And just thinking about this entryway once again.
352
Looking at this now, originally what the guy recommended me said that it'll look nice with an archway.
353
I don't know if I want to do an archway
354
because I just feel like I'm like thinking my living room because it's so big, the ceilings are so high.
355
I'm like, okay, maybe I'll do that.
356
But with this, I feel like it's better for it to just be like the straight rectangle.
357
They already marked down the spot already.
358
And I feel like it'll be nice if we do it right.
359
I feel like it can't be too chunky, you know?
360
So tomorrow, I need to tell the guy that I just want to do like an entry molding all around here.
361
I just think that it'll look really cute after the panels are done.
362
I put like these little tables with flowers
363
and I can put paintings at each of the panels with a little light coming out.
364
That black light needs to freaking go.
365
We're gonna change it into like a mini chandelier or something.
366
And then these this thing in the back also gotta go.
367
I think I might just put on curtains I have decided i'm going to pause on the kitchen
368
because I think with the molding everything i'm one person I can only handle
369
so much and I actually got a quote for
370
that little tiny bathroom up on the second floor And like if I were to experiment any bathrooms in here, it'll be that one low commitment.
371
It's tiny as hell It's like 19 square feet.
372
That is a tiny bathroom And i'm like thinking whether I want to do
373
that while they're doing molding And at the end, I feel like once it all comes down together, as long as I just paint it everything like an ivory white color, it should just come together.
374
I don't think that this guy that I'm working with is putting the prices crazy.
375
I can haggle because, like, they're working my whole house.
376
Like, come on, you gotta give me a discount if you're working on the whole freaking house.
377
For my bedroom here, we're going to go all the way up.
378
I am so excited to see how my bedroom turns out.
379
You know what?
380
I actually thought about, like, putting, like, a little vanity right here.
381
But then I was like, I don't know if that crashes too much
382
because my bed frame hasn't even came yet once my bed frame come this is going to look slightly larger
383
and in that little nook you're not getting any lighting
384
but i'm like maybe just put a dresser i honestly am
385
running out of space right before i go to china at
386
least we have the molding down you guys have no idea how much i've been stressing about this molding y'all
387
so honestly i'm very grateful for this guy
388
that i'm working with anyways i'm just going to wash on bob's burger
389
and we'll see how tomorrow goes hopefully tomorrow will go okay tomorrow we're gonna have a bit more progress
390
because today they spent a lot of time with like putting like the paper on the ground to protect it
391
so yeah i'm excited good evening it's currently 5 30 they just left it's day two of molding
392
and i'm gonna show you some progress
393
so we basically finished all of the panels on the bottom
394
they had to like adjust this a little bit they're going
395
to do something to cover it they finished on this side
396
and on this side and also they did a little panel on the bottom
397
and then And then we need to finish it on the rest of the side.
398
It's honestly super, super detailed work.
399
We also came to agreement that for this side of the wall, because it spans so high up, we're not gonna do higher panels.
400
This kind of blocks my living room.
401
And he said it's best if I do like, what is it, knee wall.
402
Basically just have like an opening here and keep the bottom.
403
And then we're also gonna do like a chair rail down here.
404
Because I do like the texture of this wall.
405
I just don't like the texture of it covering the entire thing.
406
So I think a chair rail filling in the little gaps here will look nice.
407
I was gonna do panels, but he recommended against that because the textures won't look nice.
408
And we're doing some crown all the way around.
409
We just came down with a number for the living room.
410
But we did come down to a price.
411
We are going to do the ceiling.
412
So this is my living room, right?
413
We're going to put up the ceilings.
414
I have agreed with him that I will be the one supplying ceiling tiles because they're expensive.
415
I wanted to also include crown molding.
416
But he said that the thing that I showed him in the photos are not crown molding.
417
This thing called freeze.
418
just before he left just now i was like are you going to be supplying me with
419
that and he was like it depends on what tiles you choose
420
because i'm already supplying the tiles i'm like i'm not supplying for the freeze as well
421
and also these two furniture as you can see they were here
422
when i moved in i like this one because it's really high up
423
but this one kind of bothers me
424
because i had a very awkward length it's supposed to be like a tv moment i don't know i like
425
when things like kind of fit snugly
426
so slowly things are coming together things are quite not how
427
i envisioned it yet i still need to paint the walls
428
and the kitchen is still kind of bothering me still debating whether i want to paint the cabinets
429
or do a full kitchen renovation but the news is
430
that by the time i come back in september all the
431
furniture is going to be here we're going to have like sofas over there lights table
432
so i don't have to just only either sit on these two fucking schools in the kitchen
433
or in my sunroom with that my old sofa
434
or just in my bedroom with my mattress all these stuff i ordered from either from lulu
435
and georgia wayfair and other stuff are custom like
436
that bench was custom made yeah besides
437
that i think i'm going to start using facebook marketplace
438
because i think facebook marketplace they have a lot of like cool items the only thing is
439
that i'll need a car and have someone drive me
440
and help me pick up these things
441
and some of these things are heavy as hell this thing
442
i don't even know how to take this off i'm planning on taking off this thing
443
and then adding in curtains here it'll be really beautiful and i And I think it'll be perfect.
444
I ordered like a little dresser to put right here.
445
I think with some places you can't put too much design because if you put too much designs, it's too crowded.
446
It just doesn't look right.
447
So I think sometimes the simpler is better and maybe like change this light into something more cutesy.
448
I think having some paintings here will be really cute because originally I was gonna leave this kind of plain, but I thought adding like a entrance here would be kind of cool.
449
Like I don't want anything crazy.
450
I literally fucked up an entire sushi platter literally a few hours ago.
451
I really feel like a fat ass right now.
452
Guys, you guys have no idea how much I ate.
453
I was just in a really good mood and I was like feeling very adventurous with the food.
454
I ordered so much.
455
To top it all off, I got a large yogurt, bro.
456
Look at this fucking crazy shit, bro.
457
I got three different flavors.
458
Let's see if we can get them and taste it.
459
I got tarts.
460
I got pina colada.
461
I got one more.
462
I don't know what it is The toppings are nice.
463
I don't know if I updated you guys on the fact
464
that like since i'm leaving 10th
465
or 11th of august to go back to china for a month They want to continue the work
466
and of course it's like I want to be here for them to do the work
467
So i'm thinking about messaging my real estate agent
468
and you know me I don't like asking for favors like
469
because I just feel bad
470
But then i'm like it'll be really nice for me to be in china
471
and for me to come back
472
when the whole house is done Of course I'm gonna compensate my real estate agent, of course.
473
Okay, so this is a Tuesday.
474
I'm about to stay here for about a week and my parents are coming on Wednesday.
475
Third day of molding.
476
It is currently super late.
477
It's like 6, 7 p.m.
478
So yeah, giving you guys a pretty late update.
479
My parents came.
480
They're currently cooking dinner and they finished the molding.
481
Let me just show you guys.
482
But you can see that they finished the molding all around.
483
We have agreed that what we wanted to do was
484
that the guy basically told me that we shouldn't add panels up
485
because my ceiling is not straight so adding it up be kind of weird
486
because there's different length everywhere
487
but tomorrow what they're gonna start working on is this entrance molding okay this entrance sort of thing
488
which i'm excited to see
489
and also i told you guys they're gonna do like a
490
knee wall here i think the lighting hitting in will be
491
better i think like the moment i've come in it's like it's nice for me to just see this
492
so they'll basically make a knee wall basically cutting this off
493
and just you can see everything plan out ordering some tiles for the living room
494
and y'all those tiles are expensive anyways
495
while they're cooking dinner i'm gonna go shower basically they said
496
that they also need like an additional week to finish like
497
additional two weeks after i leave for china like the people were really nice to be
498
so fair i have nothing valuable in this house like what
499
can they take i mean i have some cool ass bags
500
but i don't have any like vintage vintage ass bags that's like crazy i'm just gonna give them the keys
501
and have them do it and worst case scenario i come back i switch the locks
502
and everything because i'm gonna be away for a month
503
so it's nice to just have someone finish everything
504
and then they can also bring in my packages a win
505
is a win today is like day three we're also going to do the molding in the bathroom
506
which is going to look nice
507
but slowly it's coming together um we made a lot of
508
progress in the past three days i'm going to be here
509
for another week i'm going to see how much progress they can make before i head back to boston
510
and pack everything and then we're going straight to china i'm just gonna wash up
511
and then we're gonna have dinner i'll see you guys later okay I'm planning on making an empty bottle video, but this is what I use.
512
I went in with this already.
513
This is Dr. Althea 345 Mist.
514
I'm going to show you guys my next step.
515
This is what I like to use.
516
This is the Regeron Turnover Ampoule.
517
And this is pretty thick for the summer for me.
518
Oh my god.
519
Oh my god.
520
I literally wasted so much of the products.
521
Usually I just like to put this on in the summer.
522
Because it's like a very thick serum.
523
And it has like a lot of PBRM.
524
I don't like wasting any of it.
525
So I put it all over my body.
526
Because she's very thick.
527
So I rub her all around.
528
Okay.
529
And then for my body.
530
So you guys know, I love Thayer's Milky Toner.
531
This shit is so good.
532
I usually do it once I'm like, I'm just out on the baths.
533
I'm just having clothes on right now.
534
But I like to put a toner all over my body.
535
Because if it's a moisturizer, it's too thick for me to do.
536
Especially because I'm using laser on my knees now.
537
And lastly, sometimes I just want a bit of hydration.
538
I really like this one.
539
This is the Anwar one.
540
This was the Laneige Sleepy Mask.
541
Look at this thing.
542
I'll never run out of this thing.
543
Like, look at it.
544
Usually I will go in with a Dr. Grew in hair serum
545
That purple one that's like kind of pink
546
and yellowish I ran out of that But I would recommend
547
that to you guys If any of you guys want to like have thicker hair EverJPJs, I love them, they're so comfortable Okay, I think they're done with dinner Oh, they're so cooking
548
The taste is not strong enough so we're gonna add some stuff.
549
I'm just gonna add in some soy sauce and subsistence.
550
I haven't eaten tin fish in like the past week
551
because of my skin so we're gonna eat some tin fish right now.
552
Noodle is done.
553
I'm so excited.
554
I added some extra soy sauce and some sesame oil.
555
day four i don't think i've shown you guys what this looks like in the daytime
556
but panels are done in here
557
and we're slowly building the main entrance you can see like
558
the pole right here it's coming together i'm excited to see how this turns out we got a wayfair delivery
559
but then I realize this is way too tall.
560
Let me just show you guys.
561
It's way too tall.
562
So I'm going to have them pick this up on Sunday.
563
Because apparently for Wayfair, some items you can return and they just do pick up.
564
They're going to deduct like $150 from the return.
565
So yeah, you do have to pay a fee for them to come pick it up.
566
But I mean, it's nice, especially if you don't have anyone.
567
Because the shit's heavy.
568
I guess for the dressers, I probably would need to do Facebook Marketplace to just see the physical rather than ordering it online.
569
guys we got some new flowers in the family oh my god they smell
570
so good something literally pissed me off yesterday we had like
571
some long mowers i think one of them ran over my
572
little fucking tree bro look at this it's like slanted on
573
the side i'm like what the hell bro i don't know
574
if i can lift her up she was supposed to be
575
so much straighter now she's slanted and it makes me so sad hopefully she's okay maybe we should water her
576
i might just grab the hose and just water the entire place now
577
I'm gonna fill the bucket with water because this thing, it only extends up to there and it can't extend all the way down.
578
So I'm just going to fill the bucket.
579
Poor thing.
580
But I think she'll be okay.
581
I think she has strong roots.
582
Like, she'll be fine, hopefully.
583
It's splashing everywhere, but let's go.
584
I should probably just walk bare feet on this, honestly.
585
I don't even know if these trees need water, but we have a hose on the other side, and it's like a sprinkler.
586
This one is just kind of like, just, oh my gosh.
587
Oh my God.
588
My feet feels kind of nasty right now.
589
I'm just gonna leave her in here.
590
This is easier than I thought.
591
You just have to turn it.
592
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
593
Also, today, this morning, we woke up.
594
My parents wanted to make some shrimp dumplings, so we went to, like, the seafood place, and the guy was grabbing my shrimp
595
and my scallop with his bare hands with no gloves on
596
and then he touched my credit card
597
and i was like what the aren't you supposed to be
598
dealing with food with gloves all right we're back to my
599
little corner where we're gonna journal today is the 30th i haven't journaled in a hot moment
600
so so far we're on day four of molding
601
and i've been trying not to look at my phone
602
so much because i feel like i really just been getting into doom scrolling
603
which is really bad and i know it's kind of crazy
604
that i'm talking about this because you know i make content
605
but i'm still trying to have like a boundary
606
because you know it's just sometimes your life can't just exist on the internet you know
607
but the funny thing is that i consider youtube to not be part of
608
that you know youtube i consider more like a diary youtube just has a special place to me
609
because i guess i started on youtube so it just feels very personal
610
that i feel i can talk about a lot of different
611
things i kind of want to think about some questions
612
and i'm gonna talk about what makes me grateful having two
613
healthy parents for those who don't know my my parents are in their 60s.
614
They're not young because I feel like a lot of people that I speak to, like when I ask them about their parents' age, they usually say they're in their 50s, having my own space.
615
For those who don't know, I had a dream yesterday.
616
I think I just been thinking missing Boston in my college days.
617
When I first started my YouTube, like if you look at my first videos on YouTube, it was like my senior year of college.
618
So that I was living in a house near Tufts.
619
It was an off-campus house and I was on the first floor.
620
The first floor, there was five bedrooms.
621
They converted one of the living rooms to a bedroom.
622
So basically I was living with four other different strangers i remember during
623
that time it was just really weird i remember i'll just walk out five people sharing like a kitchen
624
and also there was two bathrooms thank god but i remember like during
625
that time i was like i just want my own space
626
and now being able to have my own freaking little bubble
627
where i can do whatever i want it's such a dream to me i'm like wow
628
and then having adult money trigger warning
629
if any of you guys deal with eating disorder
630
when i was back in high school i had a binge eating disorder
631
because i was really stressed about entering college going to like a fancy school you know all
632
that i was like eating
633
so much popeyes i ordered a bunch of delivery my parents will always nag me for ordering takeout
634
so that was cool
635
that i have my own adult money i can do whatever i want you know
636
and making content i always wanted to make content
637
but i would always be like like who would watch it
638
i think even now i still feel like the people who watch me like you guys do understand me
639
and i think that's something i'm very grateful for
640
because i feel sometimes with certain you know massive creators i feel sometimes they don't really know the creator
641
that well i would like to think that the people who watch me like you guys know I think making content, that's something that I've always wanted to do.
642
Like, I never thought that that would actually become like a full-time career.
643
I feel so grateful for that.
644
I want to say another thing
645
that i feel like a lot of us need to be more grateful for is
646
that having a healthy body sometimes i'm just like my body does
647
so much for me i'm so grateful
648
and privileged where i'm not sick i can move my body
649
around i can eat i can see i can hear i can feel i can move you know
650
because not everyone has
651
that oh the sun came out again i'm very grateful for
652
having nature around me literally have my own garden this is
653
so nice like i never thought
654
that i could have my own place being able to decorate
655
my home play with makeup dress up travel free time oh my god this one's going to be
656
so niche not having to go to school okay i hated school i liked learning
657
but i think at some point maybe the subject didn't interest me
658
that much and sometimes i'm just like what's the point
659
but i still recommend everyone to go to school wow i
660
came up with a lot of different things yeah also i'm
661
grateful for you guys as well yeah i think this is a very good exercise
662
if any of you guys are just like looking for something to journal talk about what you're grateful for
663
because i think there's a lot of things in life sometimes you truly just have to write it down
664
and then you're gonna be like oh wow i actually do have all these things
665
and it's actually really cool i booked my mom
666
and i a russian manny my mom oh my god like
667
i would have to force her to go to the nail
668
salon she just doesn't like spending money on herself i am trying to like have her like just know
669
that she can go treat herself she wanted to get her hair cut done in china i was like okay
670
that makes sense i guess so i bought like two hair dyes from amazon
671
and we're gonna dye her hair on sunday my nails are
672
still like do you see this they're still intact like this
673
is like one month shout out to deluxe russian manny on newberry in boston
674
that place is
675
so good like it's better than some of the ones i
676
went to new york for like these are the best i'm also trying to wear less makeup
677
which is really funny because i do a lot of beauty content
678
but these days i'm just trying to like just enjoy the nature
679
and just not wear makeup i'm just trying to embrace my bare face sometimes i feel like i restrict myself
680
or like i prevent myself from doing things everyone says in
681
life like your biggest obstacle is yourself we are the only ones stopping ourselves from doing a lot of things
682
and i just want to like just tell myself
683
that you don't need to wake up with feeling like about yourself like i can choose how to feel
684
when i wake up i've been trying to practice that recently like
685
when i wake up i just say out loud to myself
686
today's gonna be a good day today's gonna be an amazing day
687
because there's no reason for it not to be you know
688
it just doesn't benefit anyone doesn't benefit yourself to set yourself up for disappointment like what the is
689
that anyways today's thursday i'm excited to see what progress we get done today
690
and what progress we get done tomorrow so i'll keep you guys posted
691
and also i painted this mug myself i love jasmine i love chinese tea my dad gave me the tea
692
and he was like your mom is scared
693
that you're writing her into your diary
694
because i got into an argument with my mom i didn't
695
but i did lie i told her i did wait that's
696
so funny i remember my birthday last year i was in korea right i bought like a bunch of stickers
697
that i literally haven't finished
698
and i just grabbed a little stickers i like these bubble ones wait this little quote is so cute it It says, I am looking forward to being able to travel with you again.
699
Anyways, I'm going to head in.
700
And we're going to see what there is to do.
701
What are you guys making today?
702
They gave me tea because I'm recording.
703
Do you want to tell them what you're doing?
704
Make the dough unprofessional cooker for 30 years.
705
Really?
706
Yeah.
707
Yeah, my dad wants to start his own YouTube channel.
708
My mom's camera shy, but my dad isn't.
709
Okay, we're done with the dough.
710
Almost done.
711
How long have you been kneading the dough?
712
20 minutes.
713
You've been doing this for 20 minutes?
714
After 20 minutes, some physical and chemical change.
715
And then you'll make the...
716
Like my son.
717
How long have you been eating?
718
10 minutes.
719
They're very good at making dumplings.
720
My dad said that habit sit for like 20 minutes.
721
What else do you have to say?
722
He wants to start a YouTube channel.
723
Even if it was too hot to keep eating, I thought that it would work.
724
I thought it was better too.
725
I thought it was better than a secret to keep eating.
726
So it's the best to make the best eating the new meal.
727
It's supposed to be good.
728
I needed to make the meal.
729
The most hot eating thing is the best to eat.
730
We have scallops and shrimp in here.
731
It's so good.
732
My mom wanted to mention that she planted these chives at home in her garden.
733
It's so good.
734
parents are cooking let me give you a quick update on
735
the entire molding process they started building the entryway they're gonna put some like inside molding
736
which you see right here they're going to add this detail
737
all over literally this is still what my bedroom looks like nothing crazy we're not gonna do crown molding
738
because i think when you have the panels and
739
when you do crown it's going to make my ceiling look
740
shorter my bathroom as well we're gonna do panels now i'm
741
just kind of thinking what colors i think this is starting
742
to be my next issue first we're doing little samples
743
so we can get a taste of it because
744
if it's not salty enough then we'll put in more salt
745
into the filling i personally do not like steamed dumplings i
746
like pan fried i bought these like led lights it's like magnets
747
and just stick it on and it's rechargeable i bought this on tiktok shop
748
and i'm like i'm so intrigued like literally look at this it is
749
so freaking bright these are the magnet strips
750
and there's like different sort of settings you can set them mask this type of light this light
751
but i like the warm because it matches like the rest of the kitchen
752
and i don't have the right tool to get the dumpling so we're using whatever this is oh it's really good
753
i feel like pan fried would taste a lot better i
754
feel like my dad did a good job with the dough it's so good
755
This is flour mixed with water to make sure that the pan-fried dumplings is crispy on the bottom.
756
We're gonna pan-fry now and we're gonna put some oil.
757
She said that the pan is a little small.
758
Okay, now we wait.
759
I'm putting on more oil.
760
My mom said that this way it's more crispy Whoa Whoa
761
Whoa Wow, my money is so strong
762
and the dumplings are done look at how beautiful she is my parents usually have like their own vinegar
763
that they make but we don't have it here
764
so we're gonna have this seasoned mature vinegar i've never had
765
it look at the crispy bottom y'all time for a taste Oh my god Let's try it with the vinegar
766
Y'all this is a good ass vinegar I like how the
767
dough is really thick Like usually for me I like my
768
dumplings with thicker dough We're also making a second batch
769

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
