1. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO PRETTY BOY AND ME!!! Today we celebrate our one month anniversary. I know that may not be important to some but it’s important to me and so, in anticipation of him coming home on Tuesday, I went out and bought a cake. We’re going to do it up Korean style baby! Mind ya, the side order of major kisses is my Canadian touch I’ll be adding… hehehe.
2. After what felt like only a few hours sleep, I then had to wake up. I can’t stand waking up early on the weekend and I’m sure there’s got to be some rule that protects me against this. None the less, my little sister Jenny was coming to see me today and so I had to get up.
3. You see, the thing with Jenny is that she’s not really my little sister; we’re not related at all (as you probably already guessed). She’s my former co-worker’s 15-year-old daughter who is extremely bright and interested in English but has no native English speaker at school to practice with, and so, I agreed to spend time with her. We meet once a month for about 4-5 hours. We have lunch together, play games, go shopping… you know, girl stuff.
4. Today I took Jenny to the fish restaurant that Carmen had brought me on Friday. The lady there was happy to see me again and gave me back my bracelet that I didn’t even realize I had lost… hehehe. (See, that’s Korea for you… honest people!!!)
5. After filling our tummies with fish and veggies, we then shared ice cream in the park. It’s funny cause sometimes when I talk to Jenny, I seem to forget that she’s only 15.
6. But then it hit me, she is still a kid… and so on that note I took her to the Game Plex at Yawoori and challenged her to a game of air hockey, car racing and various other arcade games. I was embarrassed to lose at air hockey considering that’s the only thing us Canadians seem to have. That’s OUR sport!
7. After spending all my change at the Game Plex, we then went back to my house. Jenny totally adores Mi Nam. She lets him jump all over her, lick her face, bite her toes…. BUT, it was all fun and games until Mi Nam did the unthinkable… he tooted! Oh ya… he just let one rip! Yup, out of that cute little doggie came the biggest of big and nastiest of nasty smells!!! I laughed it off cause well, I’m no stranger to the nastiness of Mi Nam’s toots. Jenny, on the other hand, she must have used like half the can of air freshener to try to kill the smell but it left us both choking on the air spray… yikes!
8. I had met up with Jenny at 11am and by 3:30pm she was gone. I was exhausted and so by 4pm I was back in bed.
9. Woke up around 7:30pm only to roll over in bed into a puddle of pee!!! Wow… Mi Nam’s just totally scoring mad brownie points today… damn!!! Mind ya, I didn’t realize I was going to sleep for so long and so poor Mi Nam couldn’t climb down the stairs to his toilet papers.
10. Well, they don’t call me the Queen Procrastinator for nothing! I had all week to mark quizzes and plan tomorrow’s lesson but noooooooooooooooo, I HAD to leave it till midnight tonight. Anything else just wouldn’t be my style I suppose. Hehehe.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What should I do my next video on?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.
-- Dave Barry
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.
