1. With no real plans today... or ANY day for that matter... I gave my house a good scrub down. Everything from the walls, to the dishes, bedding, and even Mi Nam, got a good cleaning. Dang... I really need a new hobby... hehehe.
2. I'm convinced that I am a 26 year old senior citizen cause today, while at Coffee Bean, I realized just how laid back and relaxed my life has become. Mind ya, it's because it's summer time though. Let's see, my morning activities today included sitting at Coffee Bean for about an hour while I sipped on my coffee and watched everyone else rush off to work. Then I took a walk through the park, picked some flowers, and then brought back coffee for my building's security man.
3. No more messages from Bones McSkinny. You weak, weak man! I guess it's fair to say I won that argument. Having said that though, I am still curious as to who he really is. With Bones not sending me emails, I now have a new "fan"... great :( Random emails from "Signed Yours" started two days ago. Today he sent me 5 emails JUST to say, "I wanted you to know I think about you.... I thought about you.... I am thinking now of you.... I will think again of you". Can you say creeeeeeeeeepy?!
4. Did some online shopping on a Korean site Hannah showed me the other day. I had absolutely NO idea on what I was doing but was however able to figure out how to create an account. Ended up buying a cardio hip-hop dance workout DVD... cool.
5. I realized just how bored I was today when I found myself getting all excited about eating at Kimbab Chunkuk. I mean, I eat there practically everyday but today Yoon Jae had told me to go try this dish he recommended. He had me order saewoo bokeumbab, which is basically a massive plate of rice with chopped up ham, corn, onion, and shrimp pieces in it with an egg thrown on top. I wasn't impressed. I love in-your-face, fire in your mouth, tongue burning kind of food... spicy!!!
6. It's official, the Kimbab Chunkuk manager loves me... hehehe. Lunch was her treat today, wow, cool! I guess spending a good chunk of my paycheck at her place religiously scores me some royal treatment... hehehe.
7. We're smack dab in the middle of summer and yet I've seem to have caught a cold. Actually, only one side of my nose has. What's up with that?! No worries though. Nothing a bit of Vicks vapour rub from good old Toronto can't handle.
8. Today was a Korean holiday. It was Constitution Day and so many things were closed, my gym included. Mind ya, I didn't know until I got all ready and showed up to a dark gym. Hmmm... Hannah and I thought we'd use this as an opportunity to check out the gym that's directly across from my house. Wow... talk about super expensive. The trainer argued that it's because it is open late, open on ALL holidays and includes the bath house. Ya, like telling me I can prance around naked and bathe with my female students will really sell me on that deal. NO THANKS! I don't even let Mi Nam see me naked.
9. After checking out the gym, Hannah and I headed over to Coffee Bean, her treat... nice! I couldn't help but feel like I was on display though as I sat at the window seat table. Can you believe it, some guy walked by and actually stopped to come in to tell me that I had a small head?! What kind of line is that?! Hehehe.
10. Tonight, while all curled up on the couch, I had the most bizarre thought: I really want my parents to meet Mi Nam. I know it sounds kind of funny but, if you only knew why and what Mi Nam means to me, you'd understand. To sum it all up, Mi Nam was my self-prescribed remedy I gave myself for getting back on my feet after I crashed and burn from my previous relationship. When everyone had bombarded me with advice and yet failed to cure me of my broken heart, I found myself desperately needing some kind of distraction. Someone once told me that the way to get over a love is to fill your heart with new love... Mi Nam. However said you couldn't buy love obviously has never had a puppy lick their face... hehehe. Anyways, Mi Nam has become a huge part of my life and he has definitely changed it. I no longer live my life just for me. Now there's a four-legged little boy that depends on me and smothers me with unconditional love. I really want my parents to meet him; he's one cool dude.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Who is Bones?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Love me, love my dog.
-- Author Unknown.
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.

Yo J-Boy,
Ya, I have lots of love to spare for him... if he's deserving of it. We're still in the getting-to-know-you stage.
Don't worry about Yoon Jae, he is definitely "Mi Nam approved"... hehehe.
Hey Bman,
No, "Signed Yours" actually uses my direct email account. I've been using that account since university and so I'm sure a lot of people know it. Not to mention I think there's also a link to it on my homepage.
He's harmless I think though. I thought the picture was quite cute and his emails are not offensive or stalker-like.
