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...Thursday September 15

1. Wisdom class and me totally freaked out when Kevin and his HUGE nasal passages sneezed a handful of blood and nose goop!
2. Took Kevin to the boy's bathroom to clean him up and accidentally walked in on Steve (co-worker) at the urinal.... opps!
3. Two hours later, Steve walked in on me in the girl's bathroom....it was a close call too. Kind of confused why weird situations like this always seem to happen to me.
4. Played "doctor" again with Wisdom during snack time and Jinny punctured my hand with a piece of lego.
5. Another 20-some missed phone calls from Je Min during my working hours.... another 20-some after school too!
6. Jimmy cried again in class and so I told picked him up, placed him outside the classroom and told him to come back in when he is done crying.... didn't realize that he'd stay out there for practically the whole class.
7. Drama 101 at school today between two co-workers.... thought it PATHETIC how one simple conversation between two people could be blown-up to be such a dramatic situation that included me running down the street to track down one of my co-workers. Seriously questioning who's more mature...my students or my co-workers. At least with my students, they forgive and forget and don't bully up on each other, which is the least I can say about certain someones!
8. Was embarrassed to find out that everyone around me at training could tell I had been listening to the same song over and over...and over. Didn't realize this till I changed the song and Minsoo said something.
9. Thought it funny when Paulo and Daewoo picked me up at training and Daewoo came running in the gym towards me. Unfortunately, Young Un didn't share in my humour.
10. Tonight's wedding prep period with Paulo consisted of Toronto real estate shopping online.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What would make you stop crying and smarten up?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
