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.

Highlights of my Day... Saturday, April 28

1. Byung Hyuk didn't show up for lunch today. Little did I know, I was in for the shock of my life!
2. Just the other day Byung Hyuk told me, “Love is a gift from God” and yet today, because of this gift that I considered myself so blessed to have, he ended our friendship. He said it was wrong… I think he is wrong.
3. Byung Hyuk will never know how much he meant in my life. Maybe I was always just the girl he practiced English with but to me, I valued him like family.
4. And so I cried…. I cried because I will miss Byung Hyuk so much. I miss him already.
5. I respect Byung Hyuk for his incrediable strong beliefs but I don’t respect how he told me… by text message. We are friends! He couldn’t even tell me to my face and so, because I was advised not to text him back, I’m venting on my homepage.
6. They say whatever doesn’t break you, makes you stronger and I believe this to be true. My feelings for Pretty Boy are all that much more stronger because of all this drama. We're both going through crap because of friends we loved and always will love.
7. After such a stressful afternoon, I tried to breath again. Thankfully Pretty Boy was there to comfort me and so we ordered in food and I tried to make the best of the evening.
8. I love Korean food!!! Both our mouths and tongues were left numb from the super spicy chicken… I love it! I can’t seem to get enough of the hot spicy flavour! And to think, two years ago this would have made me sick for days!
9. Headed out for a bit with some friends and then watched them play pocketball. I think I’ve figured out this game but I’m still clueless as to how they do the scoring.
10. By the end of the night I was doing much better but none the less, still very hurt by Byung Hyuk totally ditching me today. I said a prayer for him today before I went to bed and hoped that tomorrow I’d wake up and this would all just be a bad dream.


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How could you call me your friend and then leave me like this?
