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.

Highlights of my day...Friday September 16

1. Celebrated Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) with all the kindergarten students and so I wore a traditional Korean dress.... it was so beautiful.
2. Made claim after seeing 39 kindergartens dressed in beautiful traditional dresses and pants that Korean children have to be the most beautiful children I've EVER seen!
3. Made these traditional rice cakes (can't remember the name) with Wisdom class and surprised myself by eating some even after I saw how Joel got "creative" with making his ones!
4. Cause of the special holiday, I got some gifts from my kindergarten students. The best was the card that Wisdom Jinny wrote. It was simple but because I knew it took her a long time to write it, it meant alot to me. Thanks sweety!
5. Found out the gym is closed cause of the holidays and so tonight I wasn't able to train.
6. Got voted the worlds' worse fiance when I freaked out about misplacing a bracelet given to me by a male friend (Mook) but not concerning myself with wearing my engagement ring. "I know where my ring is,..it's on my toothbrush."... I don't think this comment amused him!

7. Went out with Tasha, Woo, and Paulo to MBar and didn't realize that Paulo would be our main source for entertainment.
8. Thought it funny to watch Je Min give Paulo the stare down and then have Tasha tried to convince Paulo not to punch him....got to love testosterone. It's effects seem to be universal.
9. Out of all the people that could have talked to us, the ugly white man and the ugly white woman had to be the ones to approach us. I love it when foreigners automatically approach me cause I'm white....Sarcastically speaking that is.
10. Watched in pure disbelief as my fiance Paulo shook his booty in front of EVERYONE on top of our table!!! The manager at the place totally loved Paulo...mind you, she loves all white men.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Do dogs think beyond the basic level of thought?
