1. I saw you ... YOU know who you are!!!
2. I'm guessing that you occasionally check my homepage and so I just wanted to tell you that I saw you today. I don't think you knew I did, but I did. Actually, Mi Nam was the one that spotted first. As I stood at the lights near Kimbab Nala, his ears perked up and so I looked up; there you were. I eagerly awaited the light change because I wanted to say hi to you. I had so much I wanted to say to you cause I haven't seen you in so long! But, as I saw you cowardly rush away, hanging your head down low, below the street vendor's tent in hope that I wouldn't spot you, I instantly forgot all that I wanted to say. I felt embarrassed for you and was hurt. Your actions only proved to me that you're still immature. I am a grown woman; I am too young to be your mother and tell you how to act like a man. Which makes me wonder how many other times you saw me and ran away without me noticing.
3. Well as it seems, apparently the summer has arrived, or at least temporarily. Today it was so hot out and so after my walk, I hid-away in my apartment, cranked up the air condition and got out the ice coffee mix stashed in the cupboard.
4. I was suppose to go to Yong Chan's big golf tournament today but, considering there was no way I could get to Osan that early (cause of lack of transportation and it being 6am), I had to opt out. I felt bad cause I really wanted to show my support to him. I know we had our rocky start to our friendship but now we're good friends. He's always been there for me and he always goes out of his way to show me friendship.
5. Turns out something big went down at the tournament and so Yong Chan got rushed by ambulance to the hospital in Seoul. Lately he's been complaining about being under the weather and so I think today he just cracked under pressure. I'm not too sure what happened but his manager texted me throughout the day.
6. I'd hate to say this, and I'm totally sorry if I'm wrong, but honestly I thought it was some kind of sick joke he was playing. I say this cause of my initial run-in with Yong Chan was quite the dramatic scene. He was quite the Drama King... not quite as dramatic as Drama Boy though but none the less, very exaggerated. More so though, the fact that the text messages (that were supposedly from his manager) sounded just like Yong Chan's style of broken English, made me question it. They sounded too dramatic and a little bit far-fetched. I think a manager messaging random people "Oh my gosh..." is rather unprofessional and screams, "I want attention."
7. I didn't know what to think... was Yong Chan really not ok? Should I rush off to Seoul to see him? Well, I decided to stay put for the time being and so for the rest of the day I played phone tag with his manager.
8. On a different note, I found my much beloved and totally grieved over Anna Sui lip gloss that I thought I had lost... big smile there! Hehehe
9. Hit the gym and did a wicked arm work-out. Buff Boy was busy in the squash court but he was able to sneak away for a bit to talk to me. For the most part though, I was stuck training alone... correction, I was quite the sight for these two new girls who's eyes were apparently glued on me. What, haven't they seen a foreigner before or is it that they haven't seen a woman with muscle before?! Regardless, it made me so agitated. I could feel their stares burning a whole in the back of my head and Newbie caught on to this. I don't know what he said to them but then they blushed, bowed in my direction and then went along their way. After that, Newbie checked up on me a few times, watched my technique and offered some advice. I respect that. Thanks.
10. No credit given to Pretty Boy today for any smile that may have graced my face. If anything, today I give him all due credit for the stress winkle that sat on my forehead for the evening. He's got some nerve to call me up and tell me that he doesn't know love. Wow. Now if that doesn't make a girl feel awesome (and I'm totally being sarcastic here) than I don't know what does.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What are you thinking?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
It is worse still to be ignorant of your ignorance.
-- Saint Jerome
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.

I think we can all guess who the mystery person in #1 and 2 is. If I were you, I would simply forget he exists. You already gave the whole thing too much time, too much energy, too much grief. Some people are not in your life to stay; some are there just for a time, to help you learn something. If there is a chance for a friendship again, the next step is not yours. And about pretty boy, sorry to hear. Maybe he's confused? If he's never been in love before, he may truly don't understand his own feelings. This is something that only you can know, by his actions rather than his words. Whatever happens, don't give up on love. The right person is out there. SARAH
Yo Sarah,
Well, I couldn't forget that he existed, like I had hoped and instead I texted one of my friends to tell him that I missed my two former friends.
As for Pretty Boy, do you know the song, "You Jerk" by Cowboy Junkies, yup... I dedicate that to him today.
I'll tell you more later... this is a super fresh wound... like 1 minute ago.
