Makes you feel good to see that these idiots get what they deserve.

Some of you have probably heard this on the news. After the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals yesterday. A few fans in Vancouver started a riot and burned two police cars and smashed the windows of several banks and department stores. Here's a video I found taken by a spectator. Here are some photos taken by friends. Frankly, I'm amazed at how stupid some people can be. They will use any excuse to start a riot. This is the reason why the Canucks will never will the Stanley Cup. By the way, most of these photos have been circulated on Facebook and some are even bragging on Facebook that they were the ones who burned the cars on Facebook. Just make it easier for the cops to arrest them. Here are some photos of the aftermath. Clearly, some people need to get a life. It's just a hockey game. And finally, a guy standing up for what's right. People signing the wall outside The Bay - we're sorry.

This is pretty cool. =================== Amanda Evora, a Filipino-American woman, together with partner Mark Ladwig, competed in the figure skating pairs competition in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. They didn’t win a medal but came up with personal bests in their first ever Olympic Games. The 25-year-old Filipina who trains in Florida and Ladwig posted a personal best score during the competition. Their score of 114.06 points, based on difficulty of elements and grades of execution, was their best of the season by more than 15 points. Combined with their personal best in the short program Sunday, their total score of 171.92 points put them in 10th place. The gold medal went to Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo of China, who ended a string of dominance by Soviet and Russian skaters dating back to the 1960s. Pang Qing and Tong Jian of China won the silver and Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany the bronze. Evora is considered to be the first person of full Filipino ancestr...

I went to Goldilocks with my wife today to try out the food. I've been in Vancouver for over 8 years now but have never been to Goldilocks here. It's located at Broadway and Fir. Anyway, we just came from a school activity and my wife suggested we go to Goldilocks. I didn't really want to go but since this is one of the few times I was with my wife during the morning, I said ok. One of the reason I didn't want to go was that I had to pay parking just to eat there. It cost CAD$2.00 for one hour of street parking. But that is not the reason I'm writing. As we ordered our meal, I was sitting at a table about 20 feet away from the counter while my wife was ordering our food. As this is our first time there, we really don't know what to order. The last time I went to Goldilocks was in the Philippines over 10 years ago. While my wife was trying to decide what to eat, she asked the lady at taking her order "Anong masarap na pancit". Do you know what the...
