1. Was the talk of the gym at training today cause of my victory over Young Un with our push-up competition.
2. Got called a "beautiful strong woman" by none other than Cheonan's Mr. Gold bodybuilder who overheard Mrs. Park telling Minsoo about my victory. His compliment meant more to me than the actual win cause I felt so respected and honoured.
3. Had super with SLP foreign teachers and it was interesting to note the different perspectives at the table and how the dynamics of the group have changed since I got here.
4. Met up with school co-workers at the WA bar and thought it interesting to note how at LotteMart my dog has to be put into a locker but at the restaurant he's allowed to walk on the table. Only in Korea!
5. Went to Broke's going away party and noticed Louise brought her dog. Stayed too long and noticed Louise LOST her dog! I helped her search the streets but I knew we wouldn't find it. We're in a country where they love small dogs like her lost poodle, either as a pet to treat as a doll or their next meal.
6. Met this funny Korean girl named Katrina. We had this "interesting" conversation about men and beauty. My words of advice....don't date a foreign guy! I told her that if I wasn't engaged to Paulo, I'd never date a white guy again. I'd go Korean!
7. Just when I thought I met dumb, low and behold I meet dumber! Dumb and Dumber are surprisingly both Irish and their good friends too...they're perfect for each other. Should note here too that the other guy I had a run-in with on Friday night (bandana boy) was ALSO Irish!
8. Dumber and I had a huge argument about marriage and he proclaimed that in every marriage there's always someone that strays. I ended the argument with telling him that I feel sorry for him and he parted with trying to shake my hand and wishing me good luck. He told me I'll remember him in 10yrs when what he said comes true. My response, "don't flatter yourself. In 10 days I won't even remember you. You'll be another ignorant and sad person I had the unfortunate of meeting. And please don't wish me good luck, I have good luck...his name is Paulo!"
9. Had half the club wanting to punch the lights out of this guy but I told them, "trust me, if I wanted him to be beat up I'd do it myself but he's built up his own bad charma so he'll get what's due to him!"
10. Realized after 6 months that I still haven't learned to properly tell the taxi driver where I live...taxi ride home was interesting but frustrating.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Is it better to stoop to someone's low level to tell them how you HONESTLY feel about them or keep quiet and let them think they've got the last laugh?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
When scientists do discover the center of the universe, don't be disappointed when it's not you.

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.
