It better be better than chowking,,,, i hate that place

I like chowking.. at least they have food I can eat, unlike Jollibee. Although if you order fries, scrape the cheese off a jolly hot dog, and use the gravy from the chicken joy, you can make your own poutine in the car. Our dog always has a chicken joy to herself. Hope she likes her new life.. in the cage in the province

I still have the old one, but i cant use that anymore, the officers punched 2 holes, as an indicator that its not good anymore. And no, i cant have another one, if i tell them its lost, they'd ask for a police report. You see, its always never easy dealing with philippine govt people ;D

If anyone has info about Pinoy stuff in Vancouver, I would love to hear it! I just realized through FB that there's a Max's Chicken in Vancouver? I never heard of that place but the food looks like Chowking only better. They have Crispy Pata too!

I gave my wife a virtual tour of the neighborhood and all the Filipino stores around here. The Street View came in really handy. Couldn't get many good waterfront shots though because you are road bound.

Apparently now they say "Application Received"!

 

[scos]

Ah ha! A change! I decided to check ECAS again for the halibut...

Status is...

"Application Received"! :'(

BUT!

There was my address there before, now it is her address! So I guess they finally opened the package she dropped off over 3 weeks ago and updated the mailing address. So a minor "yay" is warranted...

yay

Hmmm, maybe a smiley is warranted as well...

[Steph C]

Good think you check ECAS every hour, or you would have missed it!

 

[Steph C]

Wait, the address changed from a Canadian address to a Phil address? Still any news is good news Who knows, maybe an Application Received tomorrow?
