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...Tuesday September 27

1. Woke up early to dye my hair blacker than black..... blacker than most Korean's black hair!!! I love it.
2. Went into work later than usual just cause apparently it's accepted.
3. Oh the drama of the kindergarten students' moms. Today's episode consisted of Wisdom Johnny's mom complaining that Wisdom Charles kicks Johnny. First of all, Charles kicks like a girl and second of all, Johnny claims Charles kicks him while they're on the bus. BUT... they take separate buses. Learn your facts mom .... your son is a creative but bad storyteller.
4. Taught Dream class how to tell time and found it so interesting how important of a skill they think this is.... I still have trouble reading the clock!
5. Walked out of SLP school with the ladies at the front desk wondering where I was going at 4pm. I was going home, 2hrs early just because I work hard and deserve to once and awhile.
6. Went exploring on the mountain with Daewoo and realized that although he's definitely not the smartest of dogs, he is one of the strongest. At 2 1/2 months old I've got him going on 20min jogs!
7. Canceled my trip out to Seoul (boxing club) to have dinner with Young Un. Realizing that after this week our supper gatherings are over made me kind of sad.
8. My brother Robbie is in from New York and I realized that this year I won't see him.... kind of hit home that this year I'm totally out of the loop in terms of being there for my family, and friends. Uneasy feeling but I'll have to accept it.
9. Felt bad for Daewoo cause his daytime playmate (Paulo) is gone and so I took him outside after training to play with him. Was having running races with Daewoo in the back alley and when I picked him up he got all excited and so he fell. His head hit the ground, he laid there crying and I turned and puked. IT WAS AWFUL... we both sat there crying. He's okay now but now I know what being a mother is somewhat like.
10. Laid in bed for some time watching Daewoo and still freaking out over our little accident. He's no longer just a little dog to me and I realized this tonight.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
When you were a child, what did you dream of becoming..... are you that now?i8
