1. Woke up and was clueless as to where I was... oh ya, I was at Andi's house. They had all waken up around 9am. I strolled down the stairs after 11am.
2. Tim Hortons for breakfast... beautiful!
3. Robbie came home!!! I was so glad to see him cause being here in Whitby is incredibly boring.
4. My brother and his little family came by today and so I got to play with my little niece, Elizabeth. She's a cute little blond girl. I thought she'd get a good laugh out of me tossing her up in the air but she wouldn't let me stop and so I ended up getting a wicked arm workout.. ha, ha, ha.
5. For dinner my brother Rob surprised us all and treated us to dinner at Teddy's Restaurant. It's our family's hot spot where we're notoriously known by all the waitresses. Food always tastes better when it's not me paying for it... ha, ha, ha. Elizabeth on the other hand, she didn't get to eat any of Teddy's food and so she showed her frustration by spitting out her food. Props to Cara for the awesome catch! Ha, ha, ha.
6. After dinner boredom set in for Robbie and me. We were desperate to escape Whitby. Our parents wouldn't let us use the car and so I jumped on the phone to try to convince friends to "save" us. We were trapped.
7. At coffee time I handed out my Christmas presents to everyone. I scored major points with the parents for my photo album/story I had created for them. It took me way too long to make it but they loved it and were all smiles.
8. Well coffee time took up about 30 minutes and then Robbie and I were bored again. I jumped on the phone again to call out friends and who should I call but Paulo... yup, the ex fiance. Actually, I had called him by fluke, his number is one digit away from the friend I was trying to call. Regardless though, I instantly recognized his voice and ended up chatting up a storm with him. We chatted about a lot of stuff. He seemed really excited to talk to me again but he never asked questions that I thought he'd for sure ask. Found it rather ironic though that there we were, rambling on about various things and yet when we were engaged and I lived in Korea, we were speechless on the phone. I didn't feel uncomfortable or weirded out talking to him like I thought I would. Instead, we talked as if we've never been engaged. It was like we were buddies instead of once lovers.
9. I haven't talked to Paulo for such a long time and yet out of all days to stumble across his number I did it today... his birthday. Happy birthday Paulo.
10. After a phone call like that, I was kind of in a weird mood and didn't know what to think. Robbie was busy watching random video tapes and so I joined him for a bit on the couch. Nothing too exciting... then again, it's Whitby. Nothing ever really happens here.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Aren't you curious?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
-- Yogi Berra
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.
