Noticed that Golden is on Facebook again - yay! I was going to ask him about it this weekend, but didn't. Jen also sent us an Evite to her drinks-themed birthday party, which is apparently only lasting an hour on Sunday... haha, NICE! I'll see what Eric says about it - guess I will have to call him before Thursday, or keep an eye on the replies! Of course, it is after the retreat, so I dunno. The Canucks eliminated the Kings 4-2, thanks to three comeback goals... now they face either Chicago or Nashville in the second round! WOOHOO!

Corey told me: "I just ate lunch, and I went to a class (just watching) this morning. There was an earthquake, too... it shook the building gently for about 20 seconds? I don't know if it was worse somewhere else, but it was incredibly mild for us... nothing moved around or anything. Wow, 6.9 earthquake - that's a lot bigger than I thought! :P But it was in the southeast. (we're in the northwest) Well, it said this happened in the northeast Philippines.. so a big earthquake, but it wasn't close to us here. But that means the earthquake shook the entire country and ocean, and probably a lot of the Philippines, too! :P So... I'm glad the center of it was somewhere else. :P

"On an unrelated note, I just had a whole mango. Mangoes are good... most of the ones we get are from the Philippines. They're a bit different in Taiwan (there are Philippines ones here too, though)... pretty good stuff. There's mango drinks and stuff too, which are also very good."
