1. Woke up with yet just enough time to blaze it to school. I tell ya, I am not a morning person. My original plan of waking up early and hitting the weights has crashed and burned, but I refuse to give up. I will wake up and hit the weights... some day.
2. In class this week we're discussing family relationship titles and describing people. I did the mistake by letting my students describe me. Many flattered me by saying I had a s-line and was young, while other students were definitely cruising for a bruising by calling me middle-aged. I'm not middle-aged... am I?! Oh gosh. I always thought middle-aged was 30-50. Mind ya, when I reach 30, I supposed my middle-aged category will continually move up. I'll forever be young.
3. Had a phone conversation that lasted exactly six minutes and twelve seconds with a lady who works at Arirang Korea (media company) who didn't speak a word of English. I was quite impressed with myself for understanding and being able to answer her million questions in Korean. However, the conversation left me feeling rather drained. Wow... hehehe.
4. Turns out Arirang called my university here in Korea. They refuse to leave me alone. Mind ya, now Arirang in Canada (Arirang Korea's sister company) has jumped in on the picture and is hunting me down. Today I got word that some lady from Arirang Canada has been repeatedly calling around about me. Arirang Canada wants to showcase me in one of their episodes. They are doing a show about Canadians and exchanging culture, and apparently they think I'll make quite an interesting feature.
5. After a couple of phone calls and an email, I agreed to let Arirang interview me. Next week I'll be meeting a lady from Arirang Korea and then arranging a day when their camera crew can follow me around. Should be interesting.
6. Amused onliners today with my helmet-head, ultra big sunglasses wearing singing and my silly Korean girly dress fashion show... hehehe.
7. And just when you thought growing older meant maturing, today I found myself reading a children's story titled, "The Teacher from the Black Lagoon", on uStream.tv... and if that wasn't funny enough playing around with various voices and getting into narrating the story, people on the other end, watching me, apparently enjoyed my storytelling... hehehe.
8. And just when I thought I had exhausted all means of posting myself on the web (I'm on YouTube, uStream.tv, Blogger, Facebook, and BodyBuilding.com), some random perverted freak on the Internet has linked my uStream.tv to his pathetically sad, super lame, sleazy site. Needless to say, I was disgusted and ticked. Ended up writing a note on his message board, saying that if he didn't remove my link than maybe he should contact his lawyer and arrange for his lawyer to discuss things with mine. I may not have a lawyer but I'm no dumb cookie... I know people that know people who know people... hehehe. Seriously though, if he thinks this is the last he's heard of me, I got news for him!!! Moreover, I by NO MEANS fit in with those 2 cent "interesting" women, if you'd even call them that.
9. Q picked me up for training and so we headed to the club together. Training with Q is kind of distracting, not cause I watch him cause I don't, but because I think Junior Mint treats him different when I am present. I know Junior Mint can be quite a tough coach, he's known to hit us when we train but I really respect him and know he knows where the line is between tough teaching and abuse. Tonight Q took a lot of beatings during pad work and so I cringed every time I heard Junior Mint's pad smack Q.
10. After training, Q and I headed out for a light late night dinner... tuna/rice soup. It's more like porridge actually. So delicious.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Since when did growing up mean we have to stop being silly?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Age mellows some people; others it makes rotten.
-- Heard in Arkansas
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.
