[@soph_k]

Dang, I can't even imagine doing everything you do on TOP of dealing with your injury- I just know that everyone who knows and loves you is so proud of you, and as a fan and viewer for years, I am also very proud of you. It is definitely a blessing you're still alive, but take it easy and don't forget resting is very important too!

[@JeffreyChang]

this means the world ty sophie!

[@cierragallarza]

All I could think about the whole time was how much time and effort it must take to shoot your videos… it looks so simple when you watch casually but I realized how many different angles you set up for the same scene and it just elevates your video so much. Thanks for the effort, keep it up!

[@sweett1973]

Wow...your cooking skills are really good. I learn something new every time I watch you. Sorry to hear you got injured recently. Glad to hear your healing up well. Stay positive it's a process to recover. Being young can have some advantages to. Your recovery time is alot faster now then when your older. My favorite food, European food, Greek, Chinese, Italian etc.. Have a blessed week.

[@JeffreyChang]

tysm im still learning hehe

[@teaminniti600]

I'm so sorry about your injuries, hope you're feeling a bit better now! Just wanted to say that I admire so so much how you keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, you're such an inspiration! Just don't be too hard on yourself, I'm sure you're doing the best you can (and even more)💞

[@minesas4830]

I remember the day you posted a picture with the caption “Everything happens for a reason. Everything happens in due time.” You probably know which one I mean. I was going through a hard time back then and even though I also believe and know this your post gave me so much comfort. Hearing you say it in this video made me remember those days and how thankful I’m for everything you do. Take care of yourself and keep being optimistic and strong. I’m so proud of you.

[@heykayrenee_]

When you mentioned feeling like a burden, I realized I’m STILL trying to learn how to ask for help when everything becomes too much. I’m 26 and it’s pathetic. 😭 (And my favorite meal is chicken Alfredo. If I could have it everyday, I would. 😭)

[@JeffreyChang]

the struggles!!! ure not pathetic!! We are... jk were trying! ... Oug i have to try chicken alfredo!!

[@miadasilva1636]

Please allow your chia seeds to absorb whatever liquid is around it before eating them, they should be a jelly like texture with a little crunch afterwards because it’s a seed. It doesn’t change the flavour at all, it just makes it so you don’t get dehydrated from them !

[@jin_sung_]

YOUR VIDEOS ALWAYS LIGHT UP MY WEEK NO JOKE 😃

[@JeffreyChang]

U LIGHT ME UP NO JOKE! tysm!

[@jin_sung_]

@@JeffreyChang omg i love you. Keep going strong.Here to support you ❤️

[@melaniecruz4129]

I hope you will recover, Jeffrey! That's really scary that you went through that, and I'm glad that you're okay. Today has not been great for me, and I feel a bit better after watching your video. Your videos where you just talk about your experiences are just so relatable and comforting. You make people feel less alone in their journey. Thank you!

[@raza834]

Is it just me...or does everything you cook just look amazing! I can honestly say I'm told by loved ones that I'm a great cook (thats me slaving away for hours preping meals😂) but you make it look so effortless! even the way you fold your clothes!!😆

[@JeffreyChang]

ahaha it’s tough but tysm!! im trying to improve !!

[@mosthi100]

Glad you’re healing and I absolutely love watching you cook! It’s relaxing and motivating.

[@linaaanah]

I can totally relate with the feeling like a burden when asking for help. When I do ask for help, I either feel like I asked too much, not well enough or I do end up asking for too much. I realized that it’s okay to ask for help from somebody. It’s how much that person is willing to help out and how much I’m okay with receiving that makes a difference (: I guess it’s all about balance in the end just like most things in life hehe Hope you’re recovering well! 💖😊

[@JeffreyChang]

thanks for sharing lina

[@laniiwfaith]

BYE BC I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS 😭 from you going into detail about things, you cooking made it so pleasing and calming for me to watch, from you and your mom speaking different languages!! (I’m currently trying to learn multiple, I found it inspiring, also you watching a kdrama (such a mood, was it thirty-nine?) thank you for sharing your week and I hope you feel better 🥰❤️ much love from NC!

[@RikasEnglishCafe]

I'm so happy I found your channel! Food looks amazing and I really love the way you think about life.

[@bellaillu]

There is something to your videos that is just so calming... Take care

[@JeffreyChang]

thanks bella!!!

[@Livel1]

I cry a lot, and i feel like it helps purge whatever overwhelming emotion is inside (sadness, anger and even happiness). I'm glad you are doing ok and are en route to recovery. It's definitely traumatic so physical+mental recovery is probably what's going on. Also you have a great perspective on the challenges you're going through. Take care

[@mitakomes9209]

If only Mr Jeffrey could make a video in french i love hearing he's Canadian accent

[@patmisc]

I can totally relate with you about the asking for help part. Definitely don't like burdening people around me, but I have gotten better at asking for help. Also, I always find your cooking portions in the video to be relaxing in some way. Hope you feel much better! Thanks for uploading. 😊

[@CristinaFilms]

Good recovery! Enjoyed the vlog a lot! Really well filmed.

[@JeffreyChang]

tysm christina!!

[@jujuinutopia5673]

Thank god the injuries are not serious! I’m glad to hear that you’re recovering well! I hope you feel better really soon! Also all the food you made looks so so good!! I’m fasting right now since it’s Ramadan and seeing all the delicious food made me so hungry now 😩😩 You’re becoming a better cook day by day! Proud of you

[@celine_nguyennn]

This video made my day :) After having a busy chaotic day that put me in a bad mood I saw you uploaded a new video and I feel a lot better!!!

[@edwardlin]

These videos are so soothing, feel better soon Jeffrey!

[@JeffreyChang]

appreciate it ed!!

[@nikkima56]

Hey man, just wanted to say you’re doing your best out there living on ur own! Absolutely love that you continue to reflect thru these experiences of ups and downs and it’s great to see u grow from them. It’s really nice to be able to learn and relate thru ur journey as well! Reaching out to friends for help (and striving to not be lazyy) is something i find hard at times as well and it’s defs a work in progress. Hope u have a speedy recovery and take care :)

[@MaryanaDiscutido]

Every time I see a new video I swear you level up on your cooking 🤯 ! The variety is awesome! 10/10 would eat lol. Also so glad you’re recovering Jeffrey! As for what you said, I have a hard time asking for help, thinking I can do everything myself… until i burn out. The love and support of fam and friends is so necessary and uplifting. As always thank you for the tranquil vibes. 🙏

[@JeffreyChang]

tysm m!

[@diiamnds]

I totally understand the not wanting to be a burden on others and asking for help, it's something I have to work on too. All the food you make looks soo good!😫 I hope you recover fast!

[@enTeratainment]

I always looking forward to your videos, Jeffrey! This whole new version of you motivates me to do better for myself. Thank you for being You!!! 💕💕💕💕

[@xiquai]

I would totally watch you cook more / share recipes. I am learning over here !

[@ryanputrantwo]

Going through the same realization you had at the end. Taking care of another person is no easy task, no less yourself. Took so much for granted, but luckily in a position to still be grateful for those things whenever I visit/live with family.

[@manonk4888]

Quand tu as parlé français avec le petit accent, si mignon When he's talking French, adorable

[@HopefulHope]

Something about your videos makes me feel so refreshed after watching them 💛 keep up the great work Jeffrey!

[@cristinaberthod8788]

J’adore tes vidéos . Si posé et calme avec un mental en perpétuel questionnement 😉 Prends bien soin de toi 🥰🥰

[@yee2minty]

Oh my, sorry to hear about your injury and I hope you recover. You fed us so well with all the meals you cooked. I love watching you put up new furniture or pieces around your place. Your calls to your mom and the many different languages is always such a sweet moment. I am glad you are not afraid to cry because it is a healthy expression and everyone should do it when needed. :)

[@tracymcintyre6199]

Favorite foods: Roti and Doubles but you might not know what that is...Adulting is not easy; stay optimistic and be careful. We are cheering you on. Feel better soon.🌺

[@JeffreyChang]

ouhh

[@jeymileal-lovessora]

Jeffery I’m wishing you the best recovery and also keep it evaluated and healthy and cool also my cap and gown for my college graduation it arrived this morning but I love you so much stay safe and warm

[@JeffreyChang]

tysm jeymi!! I see you supporting so much it means a lot !!!!

[@medina7621]

Your videos are so comforting

[@carmellac.5997]

glad that you're feeling better now, take care always!

[@carmellac.5997]

your vids are so relaxing, i really love it ♡

[@caitlyngoss177]

0:00 you’re injured! Oh no! 0:19 that looks like a yummy breakfast 0:28 😱🚘 2:13 that blue cardigan looks good on you and so do the glasses. 4:23 yeah, I understand that feeling of not wanting to inconvenience your friends. Lovely vlog as always :-) keep up the good work

[@HeidiRiveraa]

lowkey those dishes remind me of ones i see on some korean vlogs ive seen look so good!!!

[@xmangoxtangox]

I love how you speak in french and cantonese with your mum😅 normally its cantonese and english that id hear from bilingual people. Rarely french and cantonese! Hope you get well soon!

[@afreakanigga]

I'm the one scolding people to not ask for help because I tend to volunteer easily, but it's hard for me to ask for help so yep, I understand your situation 100%. Navigating through life is a hustle itself but hopefully we'll make it right 💪🏿 & Don't push yourself too much to recover properly. Pleins de bisous de Paris 🇨🇵

[@abigirlll]

Awe friend! I'm so sorry to hear about the accident and how you're feeling. I can relate a lot to what you're going through though. I've been dealing with chronic illness for 5 years and the whole time have been living on my own. It's hard for me to ask friends for help as well, but I've gotten better at asking for help over the years. Even more so as my health declines. I agree with you that everything happens for a reason even though we may never know why. Keep your chin up! You're doing amazing 🤍

[@i_am_b1anca_207]

Omg get well soon Jeffrey!! Hope you heal fast and be receptive to help. this was like me listening to myself lol. Asking for help and receiving help ❤️ thank you for sharing your life. Makes the living alone experience seem more… normal.

[@adithighegde]

"everything happens for a reason and life always has a way to bring things back to full circle", I really needed hear those words :') Really enjoyed watching you cook! You look super amazing and all the dishes look yum 😍 Stay safe, Jeffrey ~ 🤍 xx

[@luvopuppy]

Awww hope you a speedy recovery soon ❤️‍🩹 but everything you cook looks so yummy 🤤

[@sdiep2]

First time watching and I was shocked when y'all switched korean, french and canto in one convo hahaha! Found that super cool. I wish Australia had French Culture. Hope you recover soon, God bless xx

[@etriwijayanti9656]

I am so proud of u Jeff! Goodluck with everything!

[@maricabaggio]

Hi Jeffrey! I just wanted to say that watching you learn to cook new recipes, living on your own and dealing with struggles is so inspiring! I'm so happy you're doing well after the incident! You're so much stronger than you think you are! As you said crying is not a sign of weakness and remember that neither is asking for help, especially when it's offered to you by your friends 😁 I'm trying to get better at it, too lol Keep going Jeffrey, your Jeffreaks will be here cheering for you 🤗

[@mishmasho]

Jeffrey, can you please link the recipes to the meals you've made?? I'm trying to expand my home cooking catalogue haha

[@elliotchiu5962]

please do remember to take care of yourself 🥺 i started cooking on my own when i moved to off campus housing during my junior year of uni in the US, and i've kept it up till this day even after moving bk to my home country in HK still living on my own cuz my parents are overseas but yea, it's definitely not easy maintaining everything alone, especially with an injury btw my fav food: cantonese bbq, char siu and si yau gi hehe take care jeffrey!!

[@KareemahIconic]

Just found your channel no I love it 😻 your editing is so good as well

[@faith318]

hi jeffrey! hope you're doing well :) i clicked on this video out of curiosity and was surprised to hear about your accident cause the same thing happened to me a while ago! luckily i had family around to take care of me but i really understand how you're feeling plus the trauma of seeing cars after the accident :( i still get nervous but it's gotten better and i'm sure it will be the same for you! i hope your injury heals quickly!! also all the food you made looked delicious! wishing you a lovely week/weekend :)

[@lb4397]

Sending speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 wishes your way.

[@Mukbangstephy]

Take it easy and speedy recovery!

[@deniseleong23]

i really really enjoy watching you cook - everything looks so gourmet!!

[@JeffreyChang]

tysm !!

[@claudettesmith7540]

Thankfully you are recovering well, quickly (semi, lol!) Sorry to hear about back situation/healing. PT does definitely help, been there. Maintaining is key. Good luck! You can do it! Go Jeffrey, Go Jeffrey! ( cheering fo ya) 😁 I admire that you are so open with your family. Personally, I'm more open with friends. How weird is that?!

[@JeffreyChang]

thanks so much claudette

[@marimarlotus7413]

Hi Jeffrey! Greetings from Greece!! Love the new video especially the music tango of the intro!! I am so happy you have recover, I love watching you cook it's so relaxing! The sunglasses look amazing on you! Regarding about asking for help I was like you some years ago it was very difficult for me but after a serious incident in my life I had no choice but to ask for help and my wrong perception changed to positive and now I am always open to do that. Like you said everything happens for a reason and yes it's so truth that things can turn to be a blessing in Disguise ❤️❤️ favorite is a Greek dish tomatoes and peppers stuffed with rice but also love fried potatoes!!! Love and hugs ❤️❤️💜fighting 🤗🤗💕💕

[@medinamaurice6894]

Omg when you said everything happens for a reason , it reminded me of a book I’ve been writing 😭 and haven’t touched in months . Suddenly feels like a sign I should write more of it XD hope your feeling better . ✨🥺

[@kendilovely]

I hope u recover soon,I'm impressed by how frequently u cook for urself considering u live alone.

[@tomfu6540]

I have followed you for about 8 yrs.Very nice to watch your video, looking forward to your new video!❤️

[@majat93]

Glad that you are okay and feeling a bit better! 🙂 Just take it easy and take care of yourself, Jeff! Wish you all the best and rest well! 😊 x

[@Feibybaby]

Jeffrey’s videos are just *chefs kiss* and I bet his cooking is too 😋 seriously how do you make such pretty food

[@TaffyDChanny]

Really hoping your recovery journey is on the up! Just wanna say that this video really resonated with me and I’m sure with a lot of other people too! Being vulnerable is so hard 😔

[@Th30fficalK1a]

Glad to hear that you’re okay! Sometimes shit happens and it makes us feel even worse but hang in there, keep yourself busy! 💕

[@joo6494]

I look up to you a lot jeff. I feel inspired watching you live your life everyday independently. Soon I'll be moving to Canada by myself and hope that I can endure everything as much as you do. Hoping atleast I become half as good as you are in managing your day to day. It's not easy to be an adult but the fact that you're trying to be better is so commendable. Keep inspiring!

[@sharonyang8822]

Wait I loved the format of this video and just hearing you talk. And well, also food. -hugs- I hope you’re near full recovery!! It also made me think about ppl in my life who might need help but are too afraid to ask for it. It’s like well, I wouldn’t know but I would really hope they would let me know. Is helping anyways intrusive sometimes? Anyways, just me thinking out loud LOL.

[@mars_9218]

Okay right off the bat, Jeff, I'm so relieved that that accident wasn't anything more. Take care of yourself and please look both ways when crossing! I don't know if you feel this way as well but after a good cry, I just feel like a weight has been taken off. I hope you are able to cry more! Getting I'm touch with your feelings is not meant to be easy. I wish you well and I love you! Please take care if not for us then for yourself. PLEASE, JEFF. PLEASE! ❤

[@Irene30SF]

Your family should be proud of you 💓 Your cooking skill are getting better and better 😋

[@aiyana2630]

I love all the language switches in the phone call with your mom 😭

[@maytebarrera1252]

Wow! It feels nice to watch your videos and know I’m not the only one who feels that way. When I need help I always go to my parents. Even though I have friends who don’t mind to help but I always say, “No, I’m good”. I have to work on myself too. 😐

[@thtvo5745]

I don’t know if watching Thirty-Nine is such a great way to relax but definitely help bring out the waterworks 👍🏼

[@dianedraw]

J'aime beaucoup t'entendre parler avec ta maman en français, comme d'habitude la vidéo était très intéressant j'ai l'impression qu'elle est passée très vite

[@viktoriakarelova2286]

thank you, this was honestly sooo satisfying🤍

[@lovemusic1842]

Just 30 seconds in the video, but i just want to say I really like your little cooking montage. As someone who's trying to cook more, i actually try to replicate some of the food you make. (Not always successfully) 😅

[@themanav7]

Your videos are the best! Also how are you so good at cooking :0

[@KA-cm5mb]

You looked really good in all 4 glasses. I guess Portrait picked them out for different events and possibly looks but to fit your face specifically. They all looked great . My personal favorite was the second, it had thinner frames, it was nicely cut and gave good angles, the 3rd had such Coachella vibes. The first and fourth are classic looking with more bogus frames. Can you consider adding your recipes in the video or to the description of the video beneath (if it would mess with the aesthetic of the video) ? They look great and I know I am not the only one who would definitely save them to try later but it’s hard to know all ingredients especially the powders and the ones with unfamiliar packaging . It’s good news that you had such an accident and it didn’t have much more of a negative impact on you. Thankfully you are healing fine but hearing of the permanent damage to your spine made me think you didn’t get away so unscathed. I wish you a quick full recovery . Take care of yourself Jeff .

[@dareliciouz]

I was watching your IG live. Nice work on editing your videos. I like how u edit the cooking/preparing food parts. Makes me wanna cook haha. Hope you have a speedy recovery and take care Jeffrey :)

Fast Recovery!! Don’t push yourself too hard. Take it easy! Wishing you best!! 💛💛

[@michellehenriques9164]

I’m sorry to hear you were in an accident, however I’m glad to see you’re on the mend! I’m really enjoying these vlogs especially the cooking. I’m humbly requesting a recipe book because I’d like to learn how to cook the same dishes and I’m always very hungry after watching these vlogs! Oy, must, find, food!!!!!

[@priyashreiya1080]

3:00 I feel you 🥺. I was hit by a bus when i was little, but it's been years now and i still am scared to death if i see a bus, even if it's miles away 😬. I am binge watching your videos. You are doing a great job. Keep smashing ! Lots of love ❤️

[@jssberry]

Me over here noting how to properly cook noodles... 😅 and everything else... 😭 You can DICE AND MINCE?! I'm on some struggle life in the kitchen over here! Honestly I'm glad you're okay. Like you said, we go through seasons where it feels like life is beating us up. But the way I've learned to see it is that if I go through a season of "one thing after another" it's because I'm being prepared for something unexpectedly great. It sucks, but you're ALIVE. And you have people willing to help you--so let them help you, Jeffrey. Praying for a speedy recovery and better days ahead! 🙏🏾

[@TAlzie]

you look always nice on glasses ❤ hope you feel and be better soon. Jeff

[@marcopolesine1584]

[@JeffreyChang]

appreciate it

[@studytoreachsuccess]

Looks so yummy 🤤 Asking for help is always a struggle for me, feels so wrong although it is not. We are proud of how you handle everything :)

[@catsup27]

Everything you cook looks delicious 💕

Get well soon Jeffrey!!❤️❤️

[@aleyahmalone5012]

Candle habit of lighting a candle before bed. But the part where you said that you may need to ask for help. People may need you to need them to feel a part of you. I learned that myself

[@gandg.6830]

100% agree food tastes better when made for you by a loved one than when you make it for yourself

[@yonit321]

wow, Jeffrey when you said you had an accident I was in shock! Then I went back to the video to hear the details again. You must have been terrified, I'm glad you're alive and no significant damage has been done to you. I hope you overcome this quickly and this trauma from the accident will disappear. Lots of love and support from Israel ♥

[@anhsdiary602]

The accident sounds scary. I'm really really glad nothing bad happened. Please stay safe!!! 💚 I, too, want to cry sometimes when I feel stressed but can't. I sometimes try to cry by watching a sad movie (I highly recommend you see this Korean movie called "The Miracle in Cell No.7" if you haven't) Thanks for the food ideas, can't wait to try them out 😋

Having able to have friends that willing to help you it’s a luxury; so don’t overthink. If I have those days that I’m struggling/lazy day, I keep reminding myself that “the years of struggle it will strike as the most beautiful years.” 一条斗争之路是通往的路伪装的祝福. Sorry, American language it’s challenging for me. Hope you understand. Glad your okay and I enjoy watching your channel. Your very 真实的:)

[@AshleyJaay]

IM GLAD YOURE ALIVE! I was at work when you posted about the accident and I literally yelled “WHAT?” lol btw shoutout to your friend that got you soup 👏🏾 I like these videos when you show what you’re cooking! and are you open to video ideas?😅 maybe a jewelry collection vid? Idk if you have a lot but i noticed you wear rings and necklaces. Okay have a great week byeeeee
