For the next five days, I'm only going to be eating Jollibee, but with a twist.

I'm 10xing my calories every single day, starting at one calorie.

Hello, hello, hello.

Today is day one of the Jollibee challenge, and we're going to be starting with one calorie.

This is all I'm going to be eating for the rest of the day.

One calorie.

Wow, it tastes so good.

This is absolutely disgusting.

But I do have a hack.

Zero calorie drinks.

A lot of fast food have zero calorie drinks like Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke.

And Jollibee does.

So I did get a Diet Pepsi.

Because they don't have Diet Coke.

At least the one I went to.

That was kind of a huge mistake.

Because even though the air in the soda was filling.

It made me even more hungry.

It was only a temporary relief.

So I'm gonna be surviving on this basically the entire day, and I think I'm gonna keep this cup so I can carry this throughout the day,

and if I do, if I get hungry, I'm gonna go to a Jollibee and just refill it.

Now this was the entire meal.

I get to eat only one grain of rice.

This is gonna be rough.

Day one might as well just be me fasting.

All right, today is day two, and that means we're gonna 10x our calories.

I don't even know how this challenge is gonna go.

My stomach, it's hurting in the morning.

Probably because I'm so hungry.

This is so bad.

I tried to go into the toilet, nothing came out.

This might be TMI to be honest.

My plan today is survive through water and Diet Coke.

I can just go to Dollybee and get them.

Yesterday was really horrendous.

Hopefully it's worth it at the end because this challenge is horrendous right now.

It feels so bad.

So I got this cup of rice from Jollibee.

Obviously I can't eat all of it.

So I'm just gonna eye 10 calories.

I don't know for sure but it should be like around here I'm guessing.

This is all I can eat for today.

Oh, I just dropped like two calories.

I never noticed how bad rice tastes if it's just alone.

Can't waste your calories.

But I wonder what happens if I just survive on water and die cold for two days.

Let me stretch it up.

Headache, especially from dehydration.

Fatigue, I already have that.

Dizziness, I did get that in the morning.

Brain frog, I think I have that.

I do have stomach discomfort, constipation, bad breath, poor sleep, low blood sugar.

I feel like I have a lot of those already, but I don't think I'm dehydrated.

I've just been drinking water and Diet Coke.

I thought I should drink more water, huh?

On day two, I thought it was gonna get better.

It did not, but I did get to meet my friends to hang out with them

and we did some cool activities that helped me distract my starvation.

Now, I also went to a Bruno Mars concert.

The concert was so fire, the fans were so passionate, they were singing along so loudly I can barely hear Bruno sing.

And also, there was a surprise proposal during that concert, so shout out to them.

You know, now that I think about it, do not do this at home.

And don't forget, at day five, I have to eat 10 ,000 calories worth of Jollibee.

And fun fact, I've never tried Jollibee's before.

This is my first time, so this better be good.

Because at day five, if Jollibee is trash, I'm gonna be mad.

On day three, I start to get a little bit better because guess what?

We can eat 100 calories worth of food.

Now, you might be thinking, what can I get on Jollibee's for 100 calories?

And that is the mashed potatoes.

That's not really a lot because if you compare those two, an apple is 95 calories.

It's not that big of a deal.

A normal human of my size eats about 1 ,800 to 2 ,100 calories.

I don't know why I'm doing all these hand motions.

I hope I'm going to articulate myself.

Ooh, big word.

All right, today is day three.

That means we get to eat 100 calories worth of Jolly Beep.

And guess what?

Only the mashed potato.

fits that criteria also i'm using a new mic by the way

so let me know how this new mic goes

but you know what else i got i ordered a small diet uh zero calorie

that coke and they gave me this i thought it was supposed to be like the jollybee cup

but they gave me this

but i can't wait for tomorrow bruh these past few days

has been a real struggle okay let's try the mashed potatoes Okay, it's kinda like thicker.

Okay, this is low -key not bad.

Too bad this is the only thing I can survive off of, but...

Low -key, if I really am hungry, I'm thinking of I can just keep going to Jolli Peas and keep getting a Diet Coke or Coke Zero.

Now, would that harm my body?

Actually, would that harm my body?

I feel like that would be bad, no?

But later on in this video, the doctor would tell me something I never want to hear.

So you have a stomach pain?

Yeah, like discomfort.

Not pain?

Where is it though?

Like here.

100

Okay, for how long?

101

Uh, four to five days.

102

It's like, like when you eat a lot and your stomach is full, it's that feeling.

103

Alright, black skin means you're bleeding from the stomach.

104

And if you watched until the video so far, hit that sub button.

105

I'm trying to reach out 250 ,000 subs by the end of the year.

106

And if we do, I'll be really grateful.

107

And I want to give away Nintendo Switch 2 to one of you guys.

108

So hit that sub button, would you?

109

Day 4 is where it got different.

110

I get to eat 1 ,000 calories of Jollibee.

111

This is the first time I get to see the Jollibee experience.

112

I'm so excited.

113

Now I've already planned this out for like a few days now because a thousand calories

114

it's not that much for a normal human but it's it's it's probably enough for me okay.

115

So um for our first meal I got the Jolly Spaghetti

116

if I recall as a best name and I brought it to a park because it's a good day.

117

I'm excited for food.

118

Holy cow, this is amazing.

119

Maybe it was because I didn't eat that well for the past few days, but This is one of the best fast food Dishes I've had.

120

Hear me out.

121

Hot take.

122

This is the best fast food Insert meme like the moment I tried the spaghetti It was so delicious.

123

You do not understand how good it tastes.

124

I'm thinking about it right now brings a tear down my face.

125

This is so good.

126

I thought I'd tell you guys, this is 610 calories, which perfectly fits our budget.

127

because this is so unbelievably good.

128

If you've never had Jolli -Vee's before you should definitely get the spaghetti.

129

Holy crap.

130

Especially I was eating at the park but like the area was so nice.

131

The burgers chirping, there was greens, there were people laughing, there were people talking, there was good food.

132

You cannot ask for more!

133

Now, the spaghetti.

134

I got into the environment.

135

Now let me get into the spaghetti.

136

The spaghetti.

137

Oh my god let me tell you why.

138

It's one of the best fast food invented.

139

There was cheese, there was tomato, there was sausage, there was noodle.

140

Oh my god, it had everything and once you like, guess what, and once you mix it, I'm telling you it is one of the best things ever.

141

It was like, it was cheesy, it was savory, it was sweet, it has like the bounciness of the noodle, they have some protein in the sausage.

142

The sausage, I wouldn't say is that healthy, but oh my god.

143

I am speechless as how good this is.

144

It's cheesy.

145

I love the sauce The spaghetti was really done well.

146

The sauce is really compliments the noodles.

147

Wow You have to try if you've never tried Jollibee.

148

This is my first time trying Jollibee and it was fantastic.

149

Jollibee right now It's like my top three fast food.

150

It was fantastic.

151

For dinner, I got the cheeseburger I forgot the name of the cheeseburger, but it's a cheeseburger But this is the most looking cheeseburger cheeseburger I've ever cheeseburger.

152

It looked like you can get it from a commercial.

153

It looks so perfect, I could frame it on my wall.

154

And I went to my school library because it is a quiet place

155

so I can record without people looking at me, you know.

156

There's actually nobody in the library because it's summer.

157

And I tried the cheeseburger.

158

Oh my god.

159

The cheeseburger was so good.

160

Have I really been missing out Jollibee this entire time?

161

No way.

162

Jollibee is this good?

163

No way.

164

Great dinner.

165

This could be the representation of a Krabby Patty.

166

That cheese, the hamburger was so good.

167

It was juicy and you can see it oozing out.

168

Follibee right now made this whole challenge worth it.

169

For day five, we're eating 10 ,000 calories.

170

I like normally on other challenges, I'll be so dead right now because I've been eating so much for the prior days, but day five, 10 ,000 calories?

171

That sounds so good right now.

172

You cannot imagine.

173

I pray for times like this.

174

So when I woke up, I got myself a Jollibee immediately.

175

Now, today is a really good day because it's day five, and I get to eat 10 ,000 calories of Jollibee.

176

Day four, it was really good.

177

I ate the spaghetti.

178

It really blew my mind.

179

Today, I get to eat 10 ,000 calories, and I've never been more excited to eat 10 ,000 calories in a challenge ever.

180

I got the, I think the A -Pack or whatever it's called, which included a spaghetti.

181

I think this is gravy french fries.

182

I also got a diet Pepsi or diet coke.

183

I forgot I mean they both taste the same anyways.

184

This total I think is about 3 ,000 calories I don't know I'll put the correct measurement somewhere below.

185

I'm so hungry I'm so excited to freaking eat food.

186

Oh my god.

187

Let's try the fried chicken

188

Wow

189

Oh my god

190

I've been told the fried chicken in Jollibee was so good

191

And let me tell you It was the best fast food

192

fried chicken I've had I don't care what other fast food you said Like it was

193

so It was better than Dave's hot chicken And I love Dave's hot chicken But Jollibee's?

194

They're two different names The chicken is so good I don't know

195

if it's because I haven't eaten in a while But this is like a real Jollibee experience Oh wait Mmm

196

Did you hear that crunch?

197

Wow.

198

I got the treat A, the bucket treat A.

199

I don't know if that's a real name.

200

Comes six pieces of fried chicken.

201

I got a half spicy, half original.

202

Total was 3 ,032 calories, but I could've eaten more.

203

Jollibee might be my favorite fried chicken fast food.

204

Jollibee is in my top three right now.

205

Actually, let's wash it down with some, I think it's either Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi.

206

I low -key forgot.

207

This fried chicken, I'm gonna give this a 9 out of 10.

208

Oh my god, look, it fell off the bone.

209

Wow.

210

I know you're watching this right now.

211

You're probably eating Jollibee with me.

212

This is so good.

213

Let me tell you about the freaking chicken.

214

The chicken was so crispy.

215

The meat was so juicy.

216

You can see the meat fall off the bone.

217

And when you dip it into the gravy, something is wrong with Jollibee's gravy.

218

They probably put some addictive drugs in there.

219

Don't sue me.

220

This is just for content purposes, Jollibee.

221

I'm not making a claim.

222

This is just for fun.

223

Another one down.

224

I should probably try something else.

225

I can't keep eating the fried chicken.

226

All right, let's try the fries.

227

Can I dip this in gravy?

228

Let's dip this in gravy.

229

Dipping this in gravy?

230

Oh my god.

231

Yo, Jollibee?

232

Jollibee, whatever you guys did to the gravy needs to be studied.

233

This is like KFC's super recipe holy crap the fries are good

234

but who cares the spaghetti is phenomenal the gravy is phenomenal

235

you can be bad at something next let's try the jolly well we really tried it yesterday

236

but it looks so good you are my top three right now this is so good

237

Usually when I eat 10 ,000 calories, I would hate it, but oh my god today, today is a new day, buddy.

238

I deserve this reward.

239

I'm gonna eat everything, but that gravy was, oh my god, was like, like, it's so addicting.

240

It's better than other gravies I've had probably in my life.

241

The fried chicken was crunchy juicy

242

and it was just for lunch this is a doozy stick with me now i've gotten

243

Everything I haven't tried before that I wanted to try

244

and I wanted to like relive that moment

245

when I first ate the spaghetti I went to another local park

246

and I just sat there to eat it Oh my god

247

Editor show the footage Alright let's try the burger first Or should I say chicken sandwich?

248

I think I said it wrong Wow this is so good Wow,

249

the chicken sandwich is phenomenal.

250

Chicken sandwich was not the best I've ever had, but it was good.

251

I think the best I've ever had was Wendy's when it first came out, but this chicken sandwich is more chickening sandwich, if you know what I mean.

252

Like, I could offer up my kid.

253

Probably not.

254

I'm just saying stuff.

255

But that chicken sandwich was amazing.

256

Next, we got the 8 -piece nugget.

257

Now, I love my chicken nuggets, okay?

258

I think McDonald have the best fried chicken nuggets.

259

So let's try Jolli Peas.

260

I got the cheese sauce, I got soacha mayo, and something else.

261

Let's see how it tastes.

262

Not bad. So crunchy.

263

That chicken nugget was pretty good.

264

It was pretty special enough where it's like the texture

265

and taste was different from any other chicken nugget from mcdonald

266

burger king you name it it was special that's what i

267

gave it it was really good today is such a good day i don't have a star with myself anymore

268

and then i tried the chamoy refresher i didn't know the chamoy was like spicy

269

because it was like i think i think the name of

270

it was pineapple chamoy refresher i forgot the full name

271

but it was as the sweetness of a pineapple

272

and a little bit of spiciness i don't like the combination but it was Pretty good.

273

This pineapple quencher is not bad.

274

I think it's a little spicy on the bottom.

275

I think it's called chamoy.

276

But not bad.

277

Next time I'm going to try one of the desserts.

278

I got the mango pie and the taro pie.

279

And I'm so excited to try it.

280

Oh, this is ube, not taro.

281

My bad.

282

Wow, this is delicious.

283

Mmm.

284

They might have done pies better than McDonald's.

285

I like the tartness of the ube and it's like a little sweet.

286

But not too sweet.

287

This one is more yellowy.

288

I don't taste the mango yet.

289

Is it a mango pie or apple pie?

290

Oh, it is mango pie.

291

Why do I taste so much apple?

292

It kind of tastes like apple pie to me.

293

I don't know why.

294

I taste more apple than mango.

295

I like the ooey one the most.

296

I mean, I think I've tried enough of the spaghetti now where I think it's freaking fire, but I wouldn't mind eating it again.

297

And lastly, I saved the main course, which is the fried chicken nugget and the spaghetti.

298

Now I've already reviewed these two.

299

Hands down my favorite items from Jollibee.

300

This combo is immaculate.

301

If you're gonna try anything from Jollibee, try this combo.

302

The fried chicken, oh my God.

303

It fell off the bone of 10 minutes.

304

That's how good it was.

305

The meat fell off the bottom, you dip on the gravy and then you dip and you mix it with spaghetti

306

Let's try the chicken first Oh my god,

307

the drum is peeling off Oh my god Mmm

308

This is delicious This is a phenomenal meal.

309

Jollibee is definitely my top three but I'm so excited for dinner.

310

The total was 2 ,994 calories.

311

It's a little bit off of what we needed to do but hey, I'm not complaining.

312

I'm definitely, I'm definitely willing to eat more in Jollibee.

313

For dinner, our last meal we have to eat about like 4 000 calories

314

but at this point i was kind of full

315

because i ate a lot for breakfast and lunch i didn't feel like eating

316

that much but the thought of just thinking about joliby makes me hungry

317

so i got the 10 piece fried chicken bucket

318

that alone is like 3 000 calories by the way that's

319

kind of crazy i also got the mango pie the ube pie because I'm a sucker for good desserts.

320

You know what I'm saying?

321

I also got a coconut drink.

322

I forgot what it's called.

323

I'm so sorry.

324

But spoiler alert, that thing changed my life.

325

It is dinner time.

326

Now, we still have about 4 ,000 calories left.

327

I went on the Jollibee app.

328

If I eat all 10 pieces of this,

329

of the fried chicken, along with the mango pies, this coconut refresher.

330

Jollibee is so delicious.

331

I'm so excited to try this.

332

Now, like, I kind of feel a little hungry.

333

Even though I don't feel hungry, but like looking at this makes it so appetizing.

334

Okay, let's try this coconut drink because I think it's starting to melt.

335

This is the best drink I've had in any fast food.

336

Holy crap.

337

You know what?

338

I'm declaring Jollibee in my top three fast food.

339

It's Jollibee, Dave's Hot Chicken, and McDonald's in no particular order.

340

I'm so glad I'm trying these new fast food restaurants I've never tried before.

341

Mmm.

342

Wow.

343

Oh, look at this.

344

I don't know if this is a hot take, but I think Jollibee is better than every fried chicken chain like KFC and Popeye.

345

I think Jollibee is better.

346

Mmm.

347

You hear that crunch?

348

Oh, look at how big this is.

349

That's the only comparison I can do with my head.

350

Oh my god, look at this.

351

Oh my god, bro.

352

Okay, let's dip this part the gravy and And look the gravy and Jollibee is so good

353

I don't know how I do it They made the chicken so juicy.

354

Let me stop for now

355

because I want to try the other the mango pie I'm gonna eat the other mango pie

356

or else I'm gonna eat

357

Or else I'm just gonna devour the entire bucket The reason

358

I got these pies again was just to fill the calorie quota.

359

This little thing is packed full of calories and...

360

Oh my god, it squirted on my face.

361

Oh my god.

362

Wait.

363

Look at this.

364

Oh my god, it fell apart.

365

366

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.
