1. Woke up and realized that a gang of mosquitos had apparently had a field day on my legs while I slept... oh my gosh! Soooooooooooo ichy!
2. In a country infested with over 60 million people, how is it possible that Yong Chan is so easily able to track me down?! I slept over in Songtan and as I walked towards the taxi stand this morning, there stood Yong Chan. He had brought me breakfast and well, despite his stalker behaviour, that was pretty sweet.
3. Gave Yong Chan the benefit of a doubt and agreed to go for a walk in the park while we ate the fruit he had brought. Oh gosh... more golf talk. He asked me if we could met again and I said maybe... well, that glimmer of hope caused him to jump the gun and talk about us traveling the world together... no thanks!
4. I'm convinced that Yong Chan doesn't need a friend or even a girlfriend (he'd talk her to death). What he needs is a dog... a deaf dog who'll loyally follow him and won't go crazy with all his rambling!
5. Showed up at home totally exhusted. Updated my homepage and than fell asleep in a bathtub filled to the rim with bubbles. Don't worry... I woke up after inhaling only half the tub of water. I guess that's one way of emptying the tub... Dang!
6. Kim Tae showed up fashionably late for supper, as always... ha, ha, ha. (It's ok Kim Tae, really). Turns out Kim Tae is even younger than I had originally thought... he's 23 (=22 Western). Wow... he's a baby and yet he philosophies so much about relationships and marriage. Mind ya, he's single but I suppose that's the best testimony with regards to my point of view on relationships... they're not for everyone! They're for the foolish at heart. Kim Tae, you're so lucky.
7. The only problem with Korean restaurants is that you always leave smelling like fire and the meat you just ate... Kim Tae, you smelt worse than my feet! Ha, ha, ha. (Ok... so I'm not exactly helping kill the whole "Princess Smelly Feet" label... ha, ha, ha).
8. Ice cream with Kim Tae in the park. Couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable as we ventured into the park that's notoriously regarded by many foreign women (including me) as "Pervert's Park".
9. Although I don't like people who swear, I had asked Kim Tae what English swear words he knew. It was so funny to hear what words he has picked up on! Oh my gosh... ha, ha, ha... he didn't understand the words though. Ha, ha, ha... that's what an American TV education will give you! Babo! Ha, ha, ha.
10. Came to the realization of just how bad my English is becoming... seriously! I use to be very quick with my words but now I talk somewhat like I'm a foreigner to English! Thankfully I'm still able to catch most of mistakes, mind ya, it's after I've already said my comment.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What smells... is that you Kim Tae?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So each is inevitably disappointed.
-- Albert Einstein
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.

I SO love reading your blog. I always find something I connect with. On this post it was your loss of English skills. It took me at least a couple of years of being back in the U.S. before I felt I could speak English fluently again. I simplified my language so much, I lost some of it over there! Have no fear though; it does come back to you-- assuming you come back to North America, that is!
