1. Find it odd how Daewoo mainly poops outside but mainly pees inside ... on my bed though at night!
2. Woke up to the first day of autumn and probably the most beautiful day I've ever seen in Korea so far.... this meant a blue clear sky!
3. Was disappointed that this beautiful blue clear sky didn't continue into the night so I still haven't seen a star in Korean.
4. At the end of everyday Wisdom class students ask me for candy and so I put a stop to it today by telling them "No more candy, Amy Teacher ate it all!!!" I thought it was funny but the looks on their face told me that they definitely didn't share in my amusement.
5. Ran into Mr and Mrs Park at the local store and got into a lengthy conversation about dog. They thought my dog was "Dae-Boo" which apparently means "gangster boss"...ironically my guy is the opposite. Conversation ended with me getting invited out to go eat dog! Despite my love for animals however, I've agreed to taste it someday soon.
6. Was totally confused about what to do about Daewoo peeing on that one spot of my bed until Louis told me to simply flip the mattress... I'm an educated woman, how come I never thought of that.
7. Made Jimmy cry again and then stop crying on command. What's up with this little kindergarten?! He tells everyone he loves me and yet I'm the only one that makes him cry, that's so bad!
8. Tried to flip the mattress and almost killed Daewoo in the process. The little dude jumped up on the bedframe as I was flipping it. Thankfully for him, I tried to save him last minute and so my head took the impact of the crashing mattress. Let's see how my head looks tomorrow morning!
9. Spent about 3 hours writing kindergarten report cards only to drop them off the desk and have Daewoo jump on them. Are they familiar with the phrase, "my dog ate my homework" in this country? Thankfully all he did was jump on them.
10. New friend..... Un Tak. Hoping that he'll teach me more Korean. In a country filled with Koreans, it's been so hard to find one that will teach me their language.
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Life on the planet is born of woman.
-- Adrienne Rich
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.
