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 30

1. U.K. Teacher tells me 5mins before class that I'm leading gym class... I was totally not impressed.
2. Convinced U.K. to lead the stretching part of gym class but ended up taking over the role cause she had no idea what she was doing. Since public school I've never liked partner-work!
3. Sat in the staff room and watched Mr. Lee shoot Dave from 1 foot away with a student's toy pellet gun... that's got to hurt!!! He didn't know it was loaded but who points a gun at anyone?!
4. Was rough playing with my afternoon elementary Peace class and John hit me with my "magic pointer" (retrackable metal stick). He hit me so hard it snapped on my shoulder.
5. Gave a big test to Leo and Peace elementary classes and it felt so good to be on the giving end of the test. After all, it says in the Bible, "it is better to give than recieve" and boy where they right!
6. Had my last training sesson at my gym and so I treated myself to a hard shoulder workout. Mind you, spent most of the time joking around joking around with Young Un.
7. Ran into the gym's owner and by the look on my face he knew I wasn't impressed with his decision to close the gym. Felt bad for him though cause he must know he's the MOST unpopular or liked man around Cheonan. Left the gym all teary eyed.
8. Went out for good times with some of the people from the gym..... learned Mr. Park and Mrs. Park's full Korean names (Park Suk, Yu Young Oh) and learned that Korean wives do not like Tasha or me.... long story here involving a Korean bodybuilder's wife trying to track him down and then meeting us!
9. After filling our bellies with some yummies, we decided to hit a karokee room. Mr. Park's bodybuilder friend split his pants open and it only got more fun from there. Busted a move with my dance moves and tamberine.
10. Came home super late to Daewoo and a house full of swredded newspaper.... great.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Are you a jealous person?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
