21
So, while I was working on the last video, I realized...
22
You know, I made a lot of videos about my family and what they did to me when I was a kid,
23
but I haven't really made a video about the stupid and annoying things I did to them when I was a kid.
24
I'm gonna make a video about it.
25
I was a stupid and annoying kid.
26
It's my reputation in our family.
27
I drop a lot.
28
I forget a lot.
29
Made mistakes a lot.
30
But most of the stuff I did, I've already forgotten, so I had to do some research.
31
And of course, the only person who has all of the stupid and annoying things I did recorded is my mother.
32
She said I had the funniest childhood out of all her children.
33
but when I asked her what are the stuff I destroyed when I was a kid, she replied, So when I was a kid,
34
every Sunday we would go to a Jollibee for family day, and I always order Chicken Joy.
35
But this time I thought, let's be unpredictable.
36
I'm gonna get Chicken Joy with sweet spaghetti.
37
I was around 7, so I was already a pro with spoon and fork, and I didn't mind using them.
38
But then I saw the poster on the window.
39
The guy was eating the chicken with his bare hands.
40
So of course I thought, well, I didn't know you could do that.
41
For me, it made so much sense.
42
I don't have to use the spoon and fork that were way too flimsy.
43
And I can really get in there and clean that bone up.
44
So I asked my mom, ma, can I use my hands to eat this chicken?
45
Of course, just wash your hands first.
46
So I went to the restroom, washed my hands.
47
Did you use soap?
48
I went back to the restroom, washed my hands again, stood there for a bit longer.
49
Now, can I eat?
50
Yep, just make sure not to drop your chin.
51
I know I was stupid, but I was also a very curious kid, especially during traveling.
52
That's why I was a nightmare to travel with, because I got no chill.
53
My sister on the other hand, she was a sleeper.
54
Me, I like to observe things.
55
I like to ask a lot of questions.
56
Are we there yet?
57
How far are we?
58
Are we there yet?
59
And there was this phase in my life when I thought our city was always on fire.
60
Let me explain.
61
It started when we were on our way home and I experienced heavy traffic for the first time.
62
And of course, it freaked me out
63
because a five-year-old me was trying to make sense of how it's possible
64
that a never-ending road can be filled with cars so close together, barely moving.
65
And what freaked me out the most was it looked like while we were driving into our city,
66
everyone else was trying to get out from our city.
67
And out of all the possible explanation for this to happen, my brain came up with this.
68
Our city is on fire!
69
Why are you still driving?
70
Let's go back with everyone!
71
The city is on fire!
72
Speaking of first times, when we went to the cinema for the first time, I don't really know how it worked.
73
All I knew was the screen was so much bigger than our TV and I could get to watch with other people.
74
Plus popcorn
75
I love popcorn
76
So after the movie we went out And
77
while we were at the hall going out I saw a bunch of people coming in And I thought Oh,
78
this poor people They just missed the movie All that's left are the words going up
79
So I thought to myself As a good citizen I have to do what's right Hey, the movie is over It's over,
80
you're too late, go home It's done, the movie is over You just missed it people.
81
Oh my gosh.
82
Well at least I'm not the kid who was screaming Spider-Man died.
83
I hate that kid.
84
I also had this face when I told stupid lies to other people.
85
We were at the bank and I saw the guard looking at me.
86
And I thought, why is he looking at me?
87
Is he trying to scare me?
88
Is he trying to scare me with his guns?
89
Well, well, well.
90
Hey, we have guns too, you know.
91
so many guns like 10 bigger and longer guns.
92
Of course we didn't.
93
We didn't have guns.
94
We never had guns.
95
But nothing confused me more than action movies because I thought whenever a guy dies,
96
he is really dead in real life.
97
As if he gave his life for the movie.
98
I also did the typical stupid things that most of us did as a kid.
99
You know you did this.
100
Like, I thought I was an airbender.
101
I controlled the wind by whistling and airbender moves.
102
I tried moving stuff by looking at it.
103
I tried making Powerpuff Girls, you know, sugar, spice, and everything nice.
104
Well, that's it.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
