1. As if I wasn't already burning the candle at both ends of the stick, today I had plans with the Cheonan Trump. I was going on about 4 hours of sleep and so I was roughing it. Was definitely pushing the time and so I had to boot it down the street in my stiletto heels... hehehe.
2. Arrived with exactly one minute spare. Sat and waited for him. He never came, instead, one of his workers came and told me that the Cheonan Trump can't make it for our morning tea today because he was running late. Would have been nice to know this about 30 minutes ago but ok... at least he sent in his cutest workers to tell me.
3. Totally awkward moment at the elevator. There I stood with the Cheonan Trump's worker, a young successful man with cute glasses and one dimple, when he turned to me and randomly asked me for my number. With out even thinking I gave it to him but then, of course when it was too late, I started questioning why I ever gave him my number. Certainly a man at this level of success has numerous women after him or one on the go. The Cheonan Trump already knows my number... hmmm.... so strange. Whatever.
4. Gave my final exam today... the last one. And who better to give it to then my craft major students :( Oh the "joys" of my craft students. Getting them to talk and use English is like pulling teeth and quite frankly, I rather get all my teeth pulled.
5. Ok, ok, ok... so they're not THAT bad but they are my most stressed over class and I've never met a bigger group of lazier students.
6. Today one of my students thought it was funny to sleep through the listening part of the exam while all her friends giggled. I didn't find it too funny and, after trying to do some serious encouraging on my behalf and trying to help her along with the exam, I finally kicked her out. Oh, she didn't go out willingly, let me tell you that! She thought it was a joke until I opened the classroom door and told her she could either walk out or be carried out... and trust me, I HAVE carried out a student before... Tony from Eumbong Middle School. I took my heels off, scooped him up in my arms, kicked open the classroom door and literally threw him out dragging and whining.
7. Thankfully for HER sake, she decided to walk out. She tried to act all innocent and cute... doesn't work with me. I'm not into cute girls, nor am I into rude foolish students.
8. Am finally seeing the much anticipated light at the end of the tunnel... this time tomorrow I'll be done all my marking and interviews!!! Until then, I'm a slave to the marking... ahhhh.
9. Finally finished marking my student exams and presentations.... wow, it feels SO good to say that. I feel like I've overdosed on marking and am convinced that if I see another exam I'll be sick!
10. Four more days until I can breath.... crunch time baby!!!
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's that that I smell... is it my brain frying?
Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get.

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.
