| Helloooooo out there, music lovers!!!
It has been a very long
time since I've blogged, some of you may have wondered
whether or not I am still alive hahaha. Well, I've been laying low,
doing a lot of soul-searching, creative prep and writing some great new
material. My outlook and new music are lookin' up... I can't wait until
I can unleash it upon y'all!!!
For now, tidbits.
Did an interview & acoustic performance on VAN-TV's "The Kristine Sa Show" recently...

Up next, I'll be competing in a Battle of the Bands show on Saturday August 15th
at the Anaheim Convention Center in Cali (7,000+ seats!!!) against 6
other bands for a $10,000 GRAND PRIZE! Each band gets 25 minutes to
rock the stage... The winner is determined by none other than *you*,
the audience vote. So I'd love your support at this monstrous show!!!

| It is a fresh New Year!
All I gotta say is that it started off with a crazy bang.
Thank You to Angie for taking me to the most random, fun-filled NYE I've had in years.
So back in early November, I took a quick trip back to Cali to film a promo trailer for the beautiful indie movie, "Owl & The Sparrow." I saw it last April and well, pretty much everybody cries watching it. The good kind of crying.  Stephane, the director of the film, asked me and a bunch of other Vietnamese American celebrities (Dat Phan, Kristine Sa, Tila Tequila, Nhu Loan) to do short segments to help promote the film, which debuts in a bunch of small theaters around the states this month!
I have to say, when this promo trailer came out yesterday, I was pretty nervous. Put me behind a mic, I'll throw down baby. Behind a camera? Dude, I was dreading how I would look and act. And um, ACT. Add to it that I watched it with my parents. ARGHHH NERVES!!! Hahahaha.
So there it is! And there's Nhu Loan, very famous (and super damn gorgeous) singer in the Vietnamese community. It's not hard to act like an over-anxious teenage boy when you're working 2 inches away from such a hottie. Come out to support the movie when it debuts next Friday the 16th!

2008, you were wonderful and I learned a lot from you.
You made me take a real good, hard look at myself.
So hard, that I already began my resolutions for the New Year... months ago.
Feels good to get a head start on something for a change. 
I am SO ready to embrace the New Vu in the New Year!!
Have a safe, wild, whatever-you-want kind of New Year everyone!!!!!

I have this tendency. An achille's heel of sorts.
I do my best to avoid TV and movies, etc... I claim, oh I'm just so busy I don't have time.
But the truth? ARGHH.
It is like opening Pandora's box.
The unstoppable destruction that begins the moment I peek into the cracks.
I resist and escape unscathed...
But I do fall victim.
I'm the type to watch show "x", after avoiding this show "x" for months, even years of people talking about how they can't wait for season "y" of this amazing show "x".
"VU, did you see episode "z" yesterday? WHAT, you've never watched show "x"?? AT ALL!?"
WHY, you ask??Because unlike my handsome friend Edward Cullen, once I take that bite, I can't stop sucking. I won't go into too much detail (to preserve my dignity.) But for instance, I thought one night (long ago, before the loss of innocence), taking a break from work, it'd be a cool idea to see one episode of this popular show called "Heroes." I watched all of Season 1 AND Season 2 in one sitting. Didn't even leave my room to go to the bathroom. It was so PAINFUL. But it hurt so good. Soo... gooood.... And I'm only writing about this because last night, my friend told me to start watching Season 3 of Dexter.
The hunger, the cracked-out, just. One. MORE. All reason and human physiology designed to prevent my self-destruction... Suspended. Again. *Sob* Damn you, o-friend-of-mine-whose-name-I-shall-not-mention-but-want-to-strangle-and-hug-all-at-the-same-time. Dexter murdered me. And I loved it. All 12 non-stop, painfully delicious hours of it.
List of Shows I know will RUIN MY LIFE (but haven't yet.)
Lost
24
Gossip Girl
Bleach (Anime)
One Piece (Anime... Ok, I'm stopping.)
