1. Well, considering I went to bed around 10am... or was that 11am?... I was in no shape to get up and see the day and so I woke up at 5pm.
2. Woke up dazed, confused and choking on a super nasty smell. Turns out Mi Nam was having some major gas issues. I can just see it now, "Girl dies of gas poisoning from an 9-month-old puppy". I know, I know... kind of nasty to hear about this and it's a little too much info, but, it was just SO bad. I think it was the kimchi he ate. Regardless, he was a walking stink bomb today. Even when I took him for a walk, he let one loose and some random guy petting him commented on the smell... how embarrassing is that!!! Mi Nam, on the other hand, plays the innocent cute card very well and could careless.
3. It's funny how one little change in action changes the whole course of things. Today Hannah was supposed to meet up with me at 6:30pm. But, like always, she was late. She showed up at 7pm and so by then all the ear specialists were closed. I couldn't wait another day though. I was in a lot of pain.
4. Ended up being taken into emergency where I was then questioned over and over again about my right ear and health. Honestly, it was rather frustrating. I'm ok with them talking in Korean even if I'm not fluent but the problem was I couldn't even hear them in the first place. I had woken up today with absolutely no hearing in my right ear. Apparently I nailed it right on the head the other day when I self-diagnosed myself as having "otitis media". Am I good, or am I good?!
5. Was treated by a doctor who reassured me that everything would be ok and "this won't hurt a thing".... ya, ok. Like I believe that. He then placed this long metal tube into my ear to suck out the liquid and as soon as I caught glimpse of it, my knees began to knock. I clutched the chair arm rests as tight as I could, tried to stop my knees from shaking, and tried to endure the intense pain as he continued. I wanted to yell out "stop" but didn't. Instead, tears filled up my eyes and I bit down on my tongue.
6. About an hour later they let me leave the hospital. They sent me home with some ear drops, pills, a scheduled specialist appointment for tomorrow, and a wack of tissue for my tongue that I just brutally mashed up.
7. Hannah thought it'd be fun to have her friend meet up with us and then all go to dinner but as soon as she told me it was the drunk punk from Saturday, I was outta there. I grabbed a cab and left. Mind ya, I didn't exactly go quietly and instead gave her a bit of a lecture about the whole situation. I'm just not cool with some dude risking my life and then expecting me to give him a pity party for getting a fine. Honestly, I really think he has some nerve to show his face around us again and I don't understand why he's not embarrassed.
8. Ended up eating dinner alone and so I went to Kimbab Chunkuk. My order was simple, one chumchi kimbab. The manager however, took it upon herself to prepare a feast for me and so she treated me to some cold noodle, egg, and Korean pizza. I love Kimbab Chunkuk and apparently it loves me too... hehehe.
9. Mi Nam has started this new bizarre sleeping habit. Due to my ear infection, I can't sleep on my side for the time being and so I've been sleeping on my back. Straight like a pencil. Anyways, tonight while I was asleep I was suddenly awoken by what I thought was some rapist attacking me... seriously. It scared the heck out of me. Turns out it was Mi Nam. As I tried to return to sleep, he did it again. I woke and just laid there as he stepped up unto my tummy, stretched out his body and then fell asleep.
10. Laid in bed for about an hour before Mi Nam sleeping stretched out on my chest got rather uncomfortable, I mean, he's not exactly light.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Can you forgive and really forget?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If you trust Google more than your doctor then maybe it's time to switch doctors.
-- Jadelr and Cristina Cordova
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.
