Welcome to the one-post-per-year blog!  Apparently, I now only post on May 24th.

So what if one whole year went by?  Here’s the 2009 recap:

  1. Went to San Diego thrice.  Said goodbye.
  2. Went to Los Angeles thrice.  Saw Coco live.
  3. Drove 4 hours to go camping and had our van break down.  Swam with a tree.
  4. Visited Chicago for the first time.  Ate pizza.
  5. Went to Las Vegas twice.  Spontaneous sandwich tip FTW.
  6. Threw the 2nd annual Napa Wine Tour.  Almost died.
  7. Learned to ride a motorcycle.
  8. Went to Thailand.  Rode elephants.
  9. Went to Vietnam.  Rode scooters.
  10. Christmas in the Philippines.  Rode whale sharks.

That’s pretty much it.  You didn’t miss much.

On another note…got inspired by the HBO series “How to Make it in America”.  The intro is dope, so I decided to test my editing skills and see how close I could get to recreating it.  Here’s the original:

And here’s my version:

Thanks, and see you next year!!
