1. Woke up and lost the status as "Lobster Girl"...sunburn turned into a suntan!
2. Did basically nothing but collect seashells, swim and suntain...and loved every minute of it too!
3. By the end of the day, I regained the title "Lobster Girl".
4. Repeatedly got in trouble by the life guard for swimming out too far. (I get the impression not a lot of Koreans know how to swim and so they're really cautious)
5. These two Korean boys latched on to Tasha and me while we were in the tubes. They thought we made good diving boards and so they repeatedly climbed over us and jumped into the water.
6. Made a promise to myself that when Paulo and I have a kid, I'm totally going to let them walk buck-naked on the beach. I'll be the proud mom taking pictures instead of being just an on-looker.
7. Thought it'd be funny to run with the Busan police as they trained on the beach...not so funny to them though.
8. Caught on camera some crazy dude stripping down to wash his pants in the salty ocean late at night...then I got caught by his buddies taking his picture. It's one of those 'you had to be there' situations.
9. Although I admit, it's not the wisest of decisions, given the situation, I am now the owner of a Korean baby......Daewoo. Mind you, he's got four legs and I bought him for $20 from a man on a beach!
10. Our plan flopped and so we had to smuggle Daewoo into the hostel and keep him a secret or risk being thrown out.
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.
