1. As I stood there waiting for Mr. PE Teacher, I was approached by my new building's hottie... the guy I told off in the elevator just the other day. Not only did I find out though that what I said was rude but, based on Hottie's reaction, he seems to had liked it. He leaned over my shoulder and said hi to me this morning. Now I'm definitely confused about this guy. Ha, ha, ha.
2. Today’s elementary grade 6 class focused on comparisons and opposites and so we did all these silly things to compare taller, shorter, etc. My demonstration of stronger turned into a whole class arm-wrestling competition. And guess who was the winner…. me! There’s was NO way on God’s green earth that I was going to loss to a bunch of 13 year olds!!!
3. My grade 5 elementary kids love doing mini dramas and so today I had written up a short play for each group to perform. Best actor award went to Brent for improvising the script and adding some hilarious Konglish. Best supporting actor went to Joe for his totally exaggerated lines.
4. After teaching four straight elementary classes I then had to load the bus up with all the kids, deal with their hyper-activeness and then rush back for class at my middle school. I’m curious as to who made this “beautiful” schedule cause I’ll be sure to NOT give them a Christmas card this year! This is brutal.
5. Murphy’s law… not only was the bus running late, as I rushed up the school’s driveway, I was greeted by one of my student’s parents who is also in my parent’s English class. Her other daughter takes the bus with me on Wednesdays and she wanted to introduce me to her husband. Showed up for class 15 minutes late.
6. The homework topic for my middle school level 3 students yesterday was who they’d want to be. Today some students handed in their homework early. One girl wrote my name down as her answer. I definitely flattered with her answer and reasoning but personally, I rather be a house cat… ha, ha, ha.
7. A turn of events and a surprisingly rude parting with “him” turned me sour and made me show up at the gym all annoyed. Mind ya, this just worked to fuel my workout and so I’m sure to wake up tomorrow with incredibly sore shoulders.
8. Turns out that not only can I kick Byung Hyuk’s Korean butt at bowling but I also got him with arm wrestling tonight at training. However, I should also mention I also tricked him with my “tag team” move… ha, ha, ha. Rematch for bowling was officially set tonight for this Friday... bring it on boy!
9. Ventured over to the movie store and picked out the cheesiest romantic comedy. Besides paying attention to the interesting and fashionable clothes on the leading actress, I paid little attention to the movie. That was two hours of my life I’ll never get back.
10. Late, late night text messages from the notorious “Trouble Boy”… he’s back! He’s now so incredibly intensive with his messages and now claims he loves me. Dude… you don’t even know my last name!
QUESTION OF THE DAY…
Are all boys this stubborn?
QUOTE OF THE DAY…
Decide on what you think is right, and stick to it.-
- George Eliot
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.
