Chronological order of events, sort of.
The great thing about uploading photos on to Facebook is that it keeps track of your series of events, even if your memory doesn’t remember it, Facebook will for you.
I started the year off a little on the rift-raft, I was still on board with the game show. Newspaper and TV stations were starting to pay close attention to our every move. Our show host fainted and I was starting to question my management ability in a foreign country. Everything was a little unstable for me. If I could recall correctly, I went out every night. The beginning of 2009 for me were a series of blurred events. To be honest, I don’t quite know where I’m going with this. My words are as unclear as my memory, let’s move on to the pictures.
Maybe my travel photos are better a montage:

Yep, that’s how Vietnam spells, pronounces and regurgitates my name.
Seriously, Brith-tha-nay? // BILA BILA, We were inseparable.

Day & Night view from my balcony in district 4. $450 for a 2 bedroom apartment, that’s a steal.

Landy & Isabelle were in town and life was amazing.

I took my first trip to the land of Chinese action films, Hong freakin’ Kong. Yep, amazing.


Vinyl toys are my favorite, very Asian yes. The toys above sits in my office, they fit in perfectly.

The hangover cure, Pho & Cafe Sua Da.

I met the Milk Brothers (Ly Van Sy boys & Catie) and I think we partied til the break of dawn.

Tet on Nguyen Hue st. extremely crowded & crazy friends & family fun.

I co-hosted a show with the awesome crew from Indonesia/Singapore for Channel News Asia, “After 12″ with Jamie Graham.

Put in countless hours at the Crea TV office & made great long lasting friendship beyond borders.
I had a drastic life changing crazy, amazing experience, S Film Pro. We’ll discuss this another day.

I visited Thailand for the water festival/ Thai New Years then and again for a business trip.
Another business trip to Singapore then back to Hong Kong. A trip with Isabelle to Busan, South Korea (as mentioned here)

Mui Ne/ Phan Thiet with Catie & Cuong. Slept overnight on the shores of Mui Ne.

My Mom came to visit so we took a trip out to central Vietnam. Hue, Quang Tri, etc.

I turned 23! Yes I am that young

I got into my first motorbike accident then mugged twice. Lost my passport and had to get it renewed.

I directed a music video for Mr. Ung Hoang Phuc (cangactrong.com)
Played in the rain and finally visited Hanoi.

Finally took a trip back home to Houston and it snowed! It never snows in Houston, ever.
I got my first ever tattoo.
Introduced secret santa to my staff, had dinner with amazing friends & what the hey, I had a hell of a year there’s no room for complaints around here!
I will sign off with this…
Let’s do it all again. Cheers to you 2010.
