DDM 1047 - My dictation My EVC A weekend in Monte Verde with my girl had a way of slowing everything down. The town was wrapped in cold air and the soft scent of wood smoke, and every street seemed to invite us to slow down and enjoy the moment. We wandered through the little shops, tasted local cheese, and laughed over fondue as the evening lights came on. It was hard to break through the sentiment that trips have to be packed with big plans. By the end of it, I’d grown a taste for that calm rhythm, and it was really starting to reel in my attention in the best way. It couldn’t be more obvious that what we wanted wasn’t a complicated escape at all , and the old idea that a perfect weekend has to be expensive or elaborate is no longer the case. PS: True story...My girl and I went to a nice getaway called Monte Verde (Green Hill). It's located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. About 2:30 hours driving from where I live. I'm gonna share some pics so you guys can get to see a bit of Monte Verde ok? Just shared... Ok..she outshines me right? Lol @Shane Peterson

@Shane Peterson I appreciate it, my Liege!! Talking about food...check this next pic out...This is the real Minas food. We call it "Comida Mineira"

@Shane Peterson That’s how you cheat the Grim Reaper, right? Lol

@Evelyne Vincent Maybe you can get parole for good behavior. At least you bought yourself a few extra years Lol

DDM 1046: Dictation and AWS My EVC Storytelling: Learning English and staying consistent with my routine can sometimes feel like a nightmare, especially when technical challenges and personal goals intersect in a busy schedule. However, I never get tired of my PIRF and DDM lessons because I can actually feel my fluency improving. Even when I'm buried with work and have a mountain of tasks to finish, I stay focused 'cause I know that once I hit my goals for the day, I'm taking off to clear my head with a heavy workout.

Hey Jenny, Jenny! Stunning as usual..😁 That's awesome that you're working out. I'm also working out really hard. Weightlifting and Cardio. Every day. And eating healthy too...I'm getting "addicted " to this feeling "after workout". It's so great isn’t it?

@Jenny Yu totally! It's life style, right?

@Gulistan Asan Haha Pun Genius

@Gulistan Asan See? Who's the genius? You are!
