1. Woke up totally confused as to what day it was. I left for school with pillow lines on my face, sleep still in my eyes, and totally craving coffee.
2. It all started when I took a taxi to work. The driver was speaking a mile a minute and so instead of trying to dissect what he was saying, I just played dumb. I was half asleep and not in the mood to deal with some smelly-breath man. He thought I was cute and so he gave me a discount… I guess that makes up for the smell…ㅋㅋㅋ.
3. Cleaned out most of my desk at school today and so this meant I had a super heavy, overly loaded bag of books (and junk) to carry home. I bribed my students with money and ended up dishing out a mere 2,000 won ($2) for them to carry it. Talk about cheap child labor…ㅋㅋㅋ.
4. Reached Cheonan, stepped off the bus and nearly killed my shoulder trying to carry my bag home. As luck would have it, a local schoolboy I run into often in the street, noticed me. He and his friend offered to carry my bag home and so that was soooo sweet!
5. Mi-Nam has officially mastered doing all “his duties” on the paper, the command for “give me a kiss”, “no”, “come here” and is considering competing for Korea’s loudest snorer…ㅋㅋㅋ. I love this little guy!
6. Rushed out of my building late for my meeting and low and behold, who should I run into?...Playboy (the taxi driver I met a few weeks ago, the one with the pimpin’ taxi). He stood there in his suit and offered to drive me. Had I not been in a rush, I would have declined but I was running late.
7. Playboy refused my money and instead insisted that I let him pick me up later. I made up a white lie and told him my friend was coming to get me later.
8. Got caught… as I stood there clearly looking for a taxi, Playboy came cruising by. “Ah… no friend come, yes?” Dang! He ended up driving me home and so that meant I scored two free rides today, cool.
9. After a full day of weird encounters with even weirder men, I went to the gym. No sooner had I started lifting the weights than some young guy came to check me out. After the 3rd circle around me it was clear he was checking out my training. I think he liked my pipes (ha, ha, ha). At first I thought he was a new trainer but then I noticed the old trainer was still there… who was this guy? He approached me three times but he never talked to me. So strange.
10. Oh la la… I have a movie date this Thursday!
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How much more lazier could you possibly get?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Men weren't really the enemy; they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill.
-- Betty Friedan
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.
