1. Don't even get me started about that sports student from Friday who decided to continue our argument via email today, after he pulled a fast stunt today.. which I caught him in the act!!! He had pulled a fast one on me and I showed sympathy on him for his story about having a weekend job. But when I arrived to school this morning I spotted him, he didn't know that. So when I got an email from him (in ALL Korean) later on today, I was in no mood to listen to his Pinocchio story.
2. It's funny that some of my students fail to realize that I too, not so long ago either, was once a student and so I know all too well about the tricks they play... I played them too.
3. Because of the fact that that particular student had skipped class today, he had left his poor partner high and dry on presentation day. I felt bad for him and so I let him attend another class of mine today, giving him about 2 hours to come up with a presentation that I had given them 2 weeks to do and that was worth 10% of their final grade.
4. Monday mornings kill me, seriously... actually, correction there... my Monday morning sports students kill me. Today about half of the class showed up either late or unprepared for their presentations. It's hard to stay motivated with them and I try to stay positive but honestly, I feel like I'm holding my breath in that class, constantly watching the clock and standing with my fingers crosses, hoping for it to be over with.
5. My two other classes for the day helped to revive my spirits but I was still feeling exhausted, mentally, from my first class.
6. With energy levels in the minus column, after work I crashed on the coach and woke up to Q calling me. I really wanted to sleep the rest of my Monday away but I knew seeing him would be good for me... mind, body, and soul.
7. Off to LotteMart we went. Q is going fishing tomorrow morning at 2:10 with some of his coworkers and so we went to go pick up supplies.
8. Was blatantly told "You no size here" by the lingerie lady tonight when she spotted me looking at a bra... nice, thanks. Thanks but no thanks. I'm not a ten dollar bra-wearing kind of gal. I ship mine in from La Senza thank... hehehe. I couldn't help but be somewhat offended by her blunt comment and so I tried to joke about it by placing the bra on my knees, hinting that that they'd be perfect knee pads... hehehe.
9. Practically stalked a lady in the dog isle when a massive dog cushion caught my eye, and apparently her's too. She stood there contemplating if she wanted to get it. It was the last one left. Q went about shopping while I snuck around the isle and watched her.
10. Finally she walked away, actually, I think she went to go find her husband to ask him about it but nonetheless, I didn't care to stick around and find out her verdict. I spun around the end of the isle and scooped that bad boy up.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Just how old do my students think I am?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

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.
