“Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.” W

Wow. Beautiful style.

Today started a bit late for me as I took Chris to the one thing he didn't get a chance to see, which was the inside of the New York library, I was blown away by it as well, it was beautiful. We headed over and grabbed some street food, a hot dog - and it was the worst hot dog of my life. I think the guy boiled it instead of grilling it and I kind of got sick (what a way to start a week)

We grabbed some McDonalds afterwards and had a very lazy morning of just sitting in each other's company before I dropped him off to get on a plane. It was quite depressing actually (I won't sob about it here though). We'll just leave it at parting is not sweet sorrow. It is simply - sorrow. 

Inside is old school too.

Got into work a bit later but I still got to help out and do some other work. I didn't have lunch, but I snacked on some of the snacks in my cabinet drawer. It was a very lax day with not too, too much to do. 

When I headed out, I went home to change my shoes and then headed over to this great pub, 5th and Mad which was having this really cool Yelp Elite event! 

My friend that I had met a little while ago, during the Central Park tour, invited me today (and even though it was last minute, of course I had to say yes) and I very happily agreed. During the event, I received quite a few drink tickets to get any drink I wanted at the bar and on top of that, they were sampling different foods from the restaurant! I got to try lobster rolls, sliders, jerk chicken, chicken tenders and calamari. It was all delicious. I even got a pair of yelp gloves, haha

The Menu!

The idea of the Yelp Elite and having the Yelp Elite events to help promote new places or even places that have just renovated or want to have more coverage is an excellent idea. When the food first came, I saw everyone taking out their phones and snapping photos (my people) of the food before grabbing it. It's a great way to feed people and get feedback from people who are very active on review websites like yelp. It's pretty cool and I like to think that everybody wins.

Afterwards, I headed back home and worked a bit on the computer (on my yelp reviews to be honest) and just chilled out for a bit before heading to bed (especially after a week that was so jam packed with so much to do, I didn't even take out my computer once) before heading to sleep (seriously my body is so tired from the past week)
