HAD ONE OF THE MOST STRESSFUL DAYS POSSIBLE BECAUSE.....
1. Woke up and didn't have a clue where I was, thought I was back in highschool.
2. Woke up with a coldsore cause of lack of sleep.
3. Two of my kindergarten students went missing and pure panic and fear swept over me cause I thought someone took them....several of us searched the whole building only to find that they were hiding in another classroom.
4. Spent the rest of the day with a huge headache cause of John and Joel hiding but also spent the rest of the day being the source of the helper teachers' joke. "Amy Teacher....no Amy Mother." It was funny to a certain extent but it didn't help my headache.
5. After spending so much time on Thursday preparing a letter for the speech contest, 20mins left to class I decided I wanted to totally change it and there were errors....saw the perfectionist in me with work come out.
6. Was told yesterday that I should have prepared vacation homework for my kindergarten and found out today that they weren't joking. Who gives a 3yr old homework, mind you, who sends a 3yr old to school?!
7. Despite my headache, I went out to "Zed Rock" for co-worker Jay's going-away party and totally didn't really that "Zed Rock" meant overly-loud, annoying rock music....and they had an in-your-face band to top it all off, perfect!!!
8. Missed two late calls from Paulo and so now I'm sure to be labeled "the bad fiancee".
9. Regardless of the innocence of the situation, bound to be the source of some office gossip cause I let my co-workers leave in a taxi with me standing there with Mook at 2am.
10. Came home so late and was so hungry. Had no food in my house so I ended up eating kimchi on crackers....you know you're turning Korean when you satisfying with late night kimchi!
BUT...the main highlight of my day is that today I start my much-needed vacation!!!
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.
