🧡 Personal Milestones.

🇪🇸 Another TECLA reunion! ❤️ I was with MaLau from September 24th to the 26th. She hosted me, and she's so lovely! I stayed at her house for 2 nights, and she cared for me since I felt a bit under the weather. However, one of the days, we went out for lunch at a delightful place. Afterward, we did a cake tasting to choose MaLau's birthday cake flavor. We walked around Madrid and went into Zara, looking for MaLau's birthday outfit. She made breakfast for me, and spending those 3 days with her was wonderful.

🇹🇷🇬🇷🇳🇱 Vero shares some pictures of her trip! We went on a trip to Turkey, Greece, and the Netherlands. We met up with friends, ate delicious food, and experienced a lot of local culture.

🇵🇪 Emms went on a road trip in Peru as the driver! I went on a birthday road trip to Catarata Antankallo. It was a trip of many firsts: my first time road-tripping Peru as the driver (I've been driving for almost 9 years, I love it but never done it before, so it was about time!!), my first trekking, my first time seeing a waterfall! (I documented the whole experience on my TikTok, hehe).

🇵🇪 Luis traveled alone for the first time and went to Arequipa! I traveled alone for the first time and met incredible people, fell in love, got intoxicated, got lost, but it was the best experience.

Meet Emms' pets, Mugicha 🐕 (A Yorkie who never asks for food) and Yuki 🐩 (The bichon frise that is always hungry)!

Here are some fun facts that Emms shared about them:

Mugicha: My girls are total opposites 😂. Mugi never asks for food; she waits for someone to remember to feed her (and there have been times when I'm alone with Mugi, I forget her feeding time because she doesn't remind me, and I only remember when I get up to eat 😅).

Yuki: On the other hand, Yuki has her internal clock and demands her breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner right on time. And by "demand," I mean she barks, scratches you, whines, and does everything to get you to feed her. After her meal, she always wants dessert, her biscuit. She won't stop staring and crying until you give it to her.

🐶 My girls eat four times a day (breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner) just like their human mom, and they always have dessert (their biscuit) after their meal... just like their human mom.

💡 INSPIRATION: Martin Lindstrom's book called Small Data, it's about the tiny clues that uncover huge trends and how to apply them to your business or personal brand.

📽️ WATCH: One of the latest productions from A24 films "Pearl". If you are a fan of psychological horror films, it was released on HBO Max a few days ago.

⛰️ VISIT: Salar de Uyuni, located southwest of Bolivia 🇧🇴, is the world's largest salt flat. I was there a few years ago. Getting there was a long adventure because you travel by train for many hours. I was very impressed when I arrived; it's like walking on clouds.
