1. Everyone that knows me knows I get bored very easily with my hair and I’m notoriously known for changing it. Yesterday I got bored with my hair so today I ventured over to She Ann’s hair salon for some change.
2. Turns out the change I suggested and She Ann’s expertise on hair care and whatnot, don’t match. I admit it, my hair has been used and abused but it’s not that bad, or is it?! She Ann’s English isn’t really good and so she jumped on the phone and called up some people to interpret for us.
3. First we talked to Colin and then She Ann called up some lady who I’m pretty sure was her English hagwan teacher… oh my gosh! I don’t know how much more we could have circled around the conversation but I wasn’t impressed. I felt bad for She Ann cause this is who is teaching her English! That lady may speak great English but either she doesn’t know what the heck she’s saying or has the IQ of a piece of kimchi, seriously! An hour later we finally started on my hair.
4. Ryan’s going to kill me… I’m convinced of that! He told me not to change my hair. I changed it; I definitely changed it but am confused as to if I like it. Oh my gosh!
5. My original desk was Ryan’s but now it’s gone. Today my new desk arrived. It was accompanied by these two funny Korean dudes who were overly fascinated by all the food on my shelves and the fact that I date Korean men.
6. Their work only required a few minutes work but they ended up joining me on the floor for some chat time. Their English was brutal but that only added humour to the conversation.
7. I don’t consider myself an overly nice person but I do have manners. The dudes had brought the correct desk but wrong drawers, a chair that was blue instead of black and a shelf unit that didn’t stand straight but I didn’t say anything. I didn’t want to say anything. They were so sweet to me and we were having a fun time talking. I guess I didn’t want to spoil the fun.
8. Got all dressed and ready to hit the gym. Took one look out the window and then changed back into my cozy clothes. It looked way too cold. I may be Canadian born but that doesn’t mean I can hack the cold…ㅋㅋㅋ.
9. Visited the sea with Kim Tae. A late night drive sounded like a sweet idea until we got there and it had started to snow. We took refuge in the restaurant cafeteria, had a Koreanized hotdog (hotdog on a stick… ㅋㅋㅋ) and then headed back to Cheonan. I got a free side order of winks from the old men…ㅋㅋㅋ.
10. With less than 2 weeks till the big staff overnight trip and last day of school, I picked another song to present at our outing. We’ll be going to a karaoke bar and so pressure is definitely on but I don’t plan to do anything that go for shock value and leave them with their jaws on the floor…ㅋㅋㅋ.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Why do you ask?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If you love someone, let them go. If they return to you, it was meant to be. If they don't, their love was never yours to begin with..
-- Unknown
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.
