1. Swam in the ocean for my first time....ended up with a sore throat from drinking too much of the ocean!
2. Got painted from head to toe in mud by co-workers.
3. Was the focus of numerous pauperizes for about 5 minutes while I mud wrestled a guy twice my height.
4. Mud wrestling was great until I realized I just exfoliated and peeled off about five layers of skin from my legs!
5. Surprised myself by walking away from a possible fight with an anorexic-looking, drunk guy who was egging me on to fight him by throwing bad punches and sand in my face.
6. What was planned as a simple picnic turned into a full fledge cook-out with a garbage bag worth of raw meat, a tent, a fire pit, and way too much food!
7. Was embarrassed by the beach infestation of all the sloppy bodies in bikinis who I was automatically associated with cause of the fact that we're foreigners.
8. Seriously considered writing a letter to whom ever makes bikinis and telling them that it should be illegal to make bikinis after a certain size!!!
9. Twenty-minutes into the 2hr drive home my mp3 batteries died. Pretended to be listening to it and somewhat sleeping so to ignore the rowdy conversations of soju-drinking co-workers.
10. Spent the evening pouting cause I got home right when the gym closed.
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.
