1. Raced off to Korean class in record timing and was super pumped about class. Having seriously studied this week and having made my own personal pocket dictionary/grammar rule book, I was totally ready.
2. After a successful class that proved my studying to be very productive, I did what most girls would do in a time like this... I treated myself. I know I should treat myself ever now and then but lately it's been becoming a habit, hmmm. I couldn't resist though. I treated myself to a whole whack of MAC cosmetics. Didn't I do this last though?!
3. Caught a glimpse of my butt in my reflection on the bus terminal door.. I didn't like what I saw. I use to have a "bubble butt", or "ghetto butt" as my customers at the club where I worked used to call it. I thought I had officially parted with it when I started boxing. Bubble bums are not exactly the in thing here in Korea and given the fact that Korean pants seriously are missing room in the back, my butt had a hard time here... hehehe. Apparently my butt has come back. Time to get back to running.
4. I admit it, my diet crashed and burned after my game but I was happy for that. I seriously wanted to binge and overdose on all the nasty food I could and then get back on track again. Mind ya, I have recovered from my binge session. I thought that all that nasty food and whatnot was behind me... apparently it literally was. For some reason my butt doesn't want to let go.
5. Literally kicked my own butt at training today. I couldn't stop staring at my butt... hehehe.
6. Lately Junior Mint has been acting really silly. I told him the other day that I asked Q, "How much do you love me?" Q replied with "500 won"... that's about 50 cents Canadian. It was so funny and so that's now our inside joke. Junior Mint jumped all over that joke tonight when he blurted out "I love you Amy!" during pad work. I laughed and then asked him, "How much?" He replied with "500,000!" ($500) ... wow, that's some expensive love!!! Hehehe.... gotta love a coach who hits ya on the head for messing up a punch and sends ya home with bruises, but then yells out "I love you" at the top of his lungs... so funny!!!
7. One of my little buddies came to boxing tonight, Ju Hyun. She's a tiny elementary student who comes with her brother. My gloves are like the size of her head and she always is eager to show me some new flip or cartwheel she's learned. Not sure where she picks these strange skills up from but tonight she tried to walk upside down on her hands. She wasn't so successful but everyone stopped to watch her and we all had a great giggle.
8. I think Junior Mint has glued into the fact that my sparring partner and Sung Min always "coincidentally'' show up for training at the same time. I thought I'd throw him off these thoughts by walking to the stairwell with my sparring partner when Sung Min left and acting like a look-out as they said good-bye to each other. They are so cute!!!
9. Sweet... not only does $14 get me 4 shirts, 2 skirts and a pair of short-pants dry cleaned and ironed, but tonight my dry cleaning man even brought them to my apartment door and threw in "Here pretty" for bonus... nice!
10. Mi Nam thought he'd help me with my load of dry cleaning by eating the plastic... thanks but no thanks.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What much do you love?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.
-- Charles Caleb Colton
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.

I know this is a late comment, but I have to say...I laughed HARD after I read what Q said. Hehehe. That's silly.
Yo Becca,
No worries... better late than never, right?! Hehehe.
Ya, I still laugh at his joke. It's kind of like an ongoing joke we have and so it's still just as funny when he says it now.
