1. Woke up at 4:30am to Daewoo using my ear as a chew toy. Took him for a walk and then had to get ready for the DMZ tour.
2. Was so excited about the tour only to find out that the tour company made a mistake and so we were on the wrong tour....still went with them though. Just didn't get the expected boat ride.
3. Got yelled at, repeatedly, by numerous soldiers in the DMZ for taking their picture....took their picture anyway.
4. Almost peed my pants when one of the soldiers yelled at me and then appeared to be coming towards me. I'd be in trouble if he caught me.
5. Got to see something so beautiful, so natural and so untouched.....the DMZ land that's infested with approximately 70,000 sky-dropped land mines. It was scary to comprehend all those mines but the land looked so lush and beautiful.
6. Traveled down the infratration tunnel #3 and that was pretty cool to see this once top secret tunnel to North Korea.
7. Took a lot of pictures that I know I wasn't allowed to take and got a huge adrenaline rush over it. Felt sad looking at the pictures later cause of the seriousness of the matter.
8. Came home to my own battlefield filled with Daewoo's little "land mines"...I think he was mad I had left him there.
9. Young-Un (guy who's taking over Mook's job) introduced me to some young guy at the gym and so I was bombarded by three young guys when I exited the gym. I called one of them "Adidas boy" cause him and I both wear Adidas hats...they had lots of giggles over that one. I think I may have a fan club now.
10. Mook's last shift at the gym...felt bad for him because his boss dropped by and instead of saying good-bye he totally picked on Mook's cleaning.
10. Was suppose to go out and celebrate Dave's 40th birthday but he crashed early and so I went out with Tasha to cheer myself up cause I'll really miss Mook at the gym.
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.
