1. The other day Q and I went to the bookstore and I happened to buy a book... a book like no other! A book I am now seriously addicted to reading. It's titled, "Why do Men have Nipples?" and as funny as that title sounds, you should take a gander of what's inside... hehehe. Basically, the book addresses all different kinds of questions and old wives tales that you probably once pondered on but didn't really know who to ask.
2. Other questions include:
* Why are yawns contagious?
* Can you drink your own urine?
* Why do beans give you gas?
* Can you get scared to death?
* Can you really explode from eating too much?
* Can you swallow your own tongue?
* Why do you laugh when tickled?
* Does coffe stunt your growth?
3. Ok, so maybe I've never pondered over the whole drinking urine question but needless to say, the book is super interesting and I'm happy to note that NO, it doesn't take 7 years for swallowed gum to be digested... like everyone around me says. I'm notorious for swallowing my gum and here in Korea, that habit has only got worse due to the fact that garbage cans are next to impossible to find!
4. Day 3 of exams and it's really begining to bore me. I have the listening exam script practically memorized.
5. Marking the exams, well, that's another situation. The first half of the exam includes a multiple choice section and marking that started off as tedious and frustration... that is, until I discovered a genious way of marking it!!!
6. "Come c drunk dave balance cute cats, bouncy balls, dolls, and cold beer." That my friends, is my solution to marking the multiple choice. I made a sentence out of it. So, question 1 = c, #2 = 2, #3 = d, #4 = d, #5 = b... and so on.
7. Itching my nose like a mofo today and it's annoying the heck out of me. The yellow sand from China's desert hasn't officially hit Korea yet but I can feel it already. What's brutal is the fact that so many people here are use to it, that's not normal if you ask me. Nothing is normal about mounds of sand blowing in the wind, stinging my eyes, passing through my nose, and filling up my lungs. I miss Canada's clean air.
8. I guess I shouldn't really complain about Korea's spring cause well, Canada doesn't get much of a spring cause their winter is way too long. After the yellow sand season (aka spring) comes monsoon season (aka summer) and that's not much better.
9. Got my butt kicked at boxing... literally, and am sure to wake up tomorrow with a mother-of-a-bruise on it!!!
10. Watching Q spar tonight was awesome. He and another one of my team mates went at it in the ring for about 5 rounds. In the end, both were left all sweaty and exhusted. They were both wearing head gear but Q's face got a bit cut up.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What would you like to know?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
There are two sides to every question.
-- Protagoras
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.

Oh, that's funny. I was just looking at Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex? (the follow-up book to the one you have) the other day at the bookstore. I almost bought it; it looked so interesting.
All the best grading your midterms; it sounds so tedious!
It looks a verry intrested book!!
