1. Like they say, when in Rome, do like the Romans (or something like that). So, being still out in W-Town with my parents, I did like the W-towners… lounged around in the backyard. This town is too quiet for me.
2. Did some much anticipated shopping… cool… and my eyes lit up like a Christmas tree at the “buy 1 get 2 free sale” sign at one of the shoe stores. Now how could I possibly ignore that?!! Like seriously people, we’re talking about calf crunching, toe straining, higher than high juicy high heels that I’m sure will leave me with blisters but ohhhhhhh do they look so good! I bought a pair of black open toe heeled sandals, and than pointing toe heels in white and hot pink. Sweet!
3. I had waited over a year and a half to be able to step into La Senza to do some bra shopping and upon stepping foot into their store, I totally cracked under pressure. My mom tried to encourage me to go back, get sized and then pick out some stuff but I just couldn’t bring myself to let some woman measure me. The thought of some random stranger putting their hands near my “sisters” freaked me out and so I went home empty handed.
4. Headed back over to that gym I trained at yesterday and low and behold but who should be there but the dude who asked me out to the movies yesterday. “I thought you said you wouldn’t be coming here till 5 cause of work” I commented to him. “I thought you’d be here at 2pm. It’s now 3” he responded. Turns out buddy-boy changed his plans so that we’d coincidentally, well not so coincidentally that is, run into each other again. “I’m persistent, you know” he added. “Ya, I see. So are stalkers!”
5. Yesterday I had spotted a heavy bag in the gym and so today I brought along my hand wraps and pounded away at the bag. Ahhhh... I miss my boxing club and team mates!!!
6. My evening pretty much consisted of me phoning non-stop to LG about my roaming phone, which I should mention here is a piece of junk, seriously. Calling my friends in Toronto adds local charges to my bills but it’s long distance for them, I can understand that point but what I don’t understand is the text messaging. I’m able to get text messages from Korea and Canada but aren’t able to text back like they said I could. And so today I spent way too much time dealing with LG and their silly manager with his no-answers and “I’ll call you back” but didn’t.
7. Note to self: switch phone servers when I get back to Korea!!!
8. Note to friends: LG is bunk!
9. Note to LG: I got news for you, I'm Polish and we're as stubborn as they get so this ain't over!!!
10. The rest of the evening was spent pretty much like my morning, lounging around the house. I did however sit down and watch some English-speaking TV shows, that was great. My parents don’t have cable and so the channels are limited. I don’t have cable either in Korea.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Why would you give me a phone that doesn't work?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Energy and persistence conquer all things.
-- Benjamin Franklin
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.
