1. Last quiz show with my elementary classes today. It was entitled “A Year in Review – the Ultimate Show-Down”. It was a super long, super intense quiz show. The kids loved it! They didn’t even want to have free time and so the quiz game ran for 90 minutes straight. Winning team got choco pies.
2. A huge part of the success of my quiz show had to do with the fact that in order to be able to answer a question, you had to be the first to grab the plastic hammer. When you got a question correct, you then got to bang the hammer on the floor. The hammer made super silly squeaking sounds and so it never failed to make all the students giggle…ㅋㅋㅋ.
3. It seems like many of the younger elementary students are fascinated with me (ㅋㅋㅋ). Today they asked me for my signature and so I humoured them with signing in Korean and then kissing the paper with my ultra glossy lips…ㅋㅋㅋ.
4. Got taught how to peel an orange “grade 3 style”…ㅋㅋㅋ. First you stick your finger straight into the middle of the orange, smack it, and then rip it apart…ㅋㅋㅋ. Be sure to catch the orange pieces as they go flying into the air!
5. In the afternoon all the staff at Eumbong Middle School and I went bowling. We split into two teams and played two games.
6. Turns out Mr. Science Guy is a secret pro-bowler, Mr. PE Teacher has super hilarious Action-Man poses when he bowls, and the man from the office almost hit down more pins in my lane than in the lane he was actually bowling in…ㅋㅋㅋ.
7. My name has officially been changed from “Princess Smelly Feet” to “Ace” after I filled the game scoreboard with 4 strikes and 4 spares in one game! Out of 15 staff members competing, I came in 4th! I don’t think the men were too impressed that they got beat by a 5ft 2” little Western gal… ㅋㅋㅋ. Mr. PE Teacher called me “Action Girl” and I thought that was cute cause his nickname is “Action Man”. We’re the “Dynamic Action Duo”…ㅋㅋㅋ.
8. All us staff then headed to a local restaurant for octopus (yuck), fish (yuck) and more seafood creatures (yuck, yuck, yuck). Thankfully all the food was dead this time and so I didn’t have to venture in eating any live octopus again. Mind you, Mrs. Jeong fed me some kind of shellfish and, had it not been in a shell, I would have swore it was a human finger.
9. Almost got a ticket for j-walking. I had just stepped off the curb when I spotted a police car creeping up on me. They circled me twice and then I jetted it across the street…ㅋㅋㅋ.
10. Watched “Love Actually” for the third time this week. My favourite line, “You saucy minx.”
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How am I suppose to eat this?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
My mother's menu consisted of two things: take it or leave it.
-- Buddy Hackett
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.
