1. Brought a well-earned special treat (ice cream drumsticks) for my Wisdom class and ending up eating 2 1/2 cause some students couldn't finish them....didn't want to waste any valuable ice cream, heaven forbid!
2. In Toronto we've got kids having kids. In Korea we've got kids teaching kids (or at least their maturity level points to this level) .... what's worse?!
3. After a rude run-in with a co-worker I've decided that I'll no longer be providing back-up. It's one thing to make a public spectacle, but it's another thing to bite off the MAIN hand that has ALWAYS helped hold you up.
4. Now I know this time it totally wasn't my fault...Came into Dream class after the staff meeting and Jimmy started crying cause Minseo put his name under the red stop sign face (means he was either being bad during lunch or speaking too much Korean). It's like he was waiting and my entrance was the cue! So I've officially have accepted Jimmy's crying as apart of my daily routine, like eating kimchi and rice everyday so too do I expect now to get my daily dose of Jimmy's tears!
5. How lazy can we get.... at the press of one button we have instant hot water, at the rip of one package we've got cream, coffee and sugar all in one and yet we're still not happy. Now we're insisting on a coffee machine,...umm, isn't that going backwards?!
6. After work I did some cleaning and found any and all things I thought I had lost, under the couch. Daewoo is a notorious kleptomaniac and has been stashing countless things under my couch. His collection that I busted him for consisted of...
2 pairs of sandals
1 hat
1 piece of tuperware
1 bra
1 belt
1 alarm clock
1 empty yogurt container
1 chopstick
1 stuffed monkey
5 dog bones
3 socks
1 shirt
and 1 dead worm!
7. Thought I'd try cooking an actual meal. It didn't taste too good but I had used up so much of my groceries and so I didn't want to waste it. Here's what was in my special dish:
thin Chinese noodles
tomatoes
tomato sauce
carrots
sausages
ketup
carrots
milk
corn
and a can of tuna
8. A woman I talk to once in awhile approached me and told me she saw my "boyfriend" earlier. She wanted to know why we didn't train together today, I wanted to know who my boyfriend supposedly was.....found out who, Minsoo. Cause we're gym buddies and sometimes he wears the same hat as me, she mistook this as a "couple hat". "Couple" clothes are popular in Korea!
9. Got forewarned my Young Un that I should prepare myself for our night out with the guys...what does that mean?!
10. Registered Paulo and me for the 10km Terry Fox run on September 10th in Seoul.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How far would you go for a friend?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light.
-- Jennie Jerome Churchill
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.

In response to your question of the day -- I'd do pretty much anything for a friend but I'd definitely have to put eating your cooked so-called meals as definitely riding on borderline!
Amy you rock. I laugh everytime I read your posts. I adore your sarcastic quick whit about everyday things we do here in K-Land. Work it girl!!!
