ONLY 4 MORE DAYS TIL CALI!
And ONLY 28 MORE DAYS TIL VEGAS!

GET ME OUTTA HERE already!!!!

mission accomplished!

I've been on a mission - TO NOT BE HERE for my birthday.

As I get older, birthdays aren't the same anymore. For the past few years, I haven't been in the mood to celebrate. Each birthday I tend to assess my life. I don't do this on purpose, it's just a natural thing to do since it's the day I grow older.

And turning (OMG!) 33 this year is pretty sad. I have no full-time job, no husband and therefore no children (I'm so far from having a bf), no home owner status and I'm just plain old. Here I am turning 33 and basically at the same position I was when I graduated high school - I graduated 15 years ago! Bottom line is it's 15 years later and I've had no progression in life.

So to balance my pathetic life with some happiness, I didn't want to be here for July. This way when the 10th hits, I can say "Boo, I have no job, no bf/hubby, no house but hey, at least I'm traveling and exploring the riches of a different city."

My MISSION is ACCOMPLISHED! I'll be in Cali from July 2nd to 12th and Vegas July 26th to August 2nd. So now when I remember the things I don't have in life, I simply remember my travel plans and I can't help but smile.

Wine to Raise Spirits

Today, Toronto Yelp Elites had the opportunity to snag a pair of limited tickets to the Wine and Spirit Festival which is happening next weekend at the Distillery District. And lucky me! I scored a pair. YAY!

So sweetmre is going to be my pseudo date as I drown my sorrows next Saturday. Hopefully, the weather will be kick-a$$ too! Enjoying food and wine outside in nice weather is exactly what I need!

Being Yelp's Elite is already paying off. Thanks Yelp for hookin us up!!!

Eliteness!

Apparently I have what it takes to rock the cradle of Yelp Eliteness. The Yelp Toronto Community Manager sent me a message last week saying so. Even though I'd rather have her job (she probably doesn't know I was a candidate for her position. She beat me in the last round), I was still flattered that she approached me.

And yesterday, in my Yelp inbox came an "the" invitation. Being part of the Yelp Elite squad means, I'll get hooked up to exclusive parties and cool stuff. Who doesn't like getting hooked up?

So I accepted their offer. And now I have a '09 red elite badge on my profile. Check it out when you get a sec http://mohka.yelp.ca. You'll see my suggestions and opinions on local businesses plus you'll be updated on what's hot and happening around GTA or any other city you're interested in learning more about.
