I also wrote a birthday speech which I never got to read so here's an excerpt:

"As most of you know, this year has been full of ups and slight downs. On the good and only the good, I got to travel to a few countries that I’ve never thought of going to before like Pakistan where I got to smoke a cigarette inside the airport while waiting for my luggage and for some people, a sofa.

I also got to say “I love you” again which was to a person but now it’s to every bowl of ramen I eat and every vending machine can of corned soup at four in the morning.

I’m so lucky to be filled with so much warmth which is probably due to the sake, but for arguments sake I’m going to say it’s because of you guys… who have fed me too much sake. All of you come from various paths of my life and knows me entirely different from one another. I’m Johnny Famous to some, just Johnny to others, or that Pilipino waiter to everyone in Dubai.

As I move towards the next chapter of my life and whether that’s falling in love with techno in Berlin, motorbiking it across Vietnam solo, or getting plastic surgery in Seoul, you’ve got this guy, me, for life.

Alas, bon apetit, c’est la vie, and god speed. I love you all and let’s wake up tomorrow regretting nothing. Boom."
