1. Wouldn't life be great if life's little "interesting dilemmas" got resolved in 30 minutes like "Leave it to Beaver" and "Sweet Valley High"?! Mind ya, I guess it's these little interesting dilemmas that surely keep us on our toes and not dying of boredom. You just never know what's going to happen.... like today.
2. Today I had my day all mapped out. I had an early morning meeting with the Cheonan Trump, was going to go into training in the morning and then head off to Seoul in the afternoon to see a friend.
3. Woke up to my doorbell ringing... that's when my WHOLE day changed. I turned on my door camera but could only make out the shoulder of what I assumed was a man. Instantly I thought it was my silly neighbor who, after months, still mistakes my door for his. I put on my house coat and flung open the door, and, much to my surprise, stood Q in a suit and holding a dozen and a half red roses. My jaw dropped...!!!
4. He looked incredibly handsome. With roses in hand and a suit that made him look drop dead gorgeous, he dropped to his knees, grabbed my hand, and shed some tears. "Wow" I thought, "he must love me so much!!!" I've never had someone love me so much like this. I'm sure Q doesn't want me to write that he cried and I'm sure some of you will have your own comments on this, both bad and good, but to tell you the truth, Q nevered looked more beautiful than today when he looked up at me with his eyes swelled with tears. A man crying, whether it's on TV, in the movies, or whatnot, will always stir up my heart but seeing Q crying... wow. It was like a reality check to me. I was so stupid for thinking I could ever give him up. He's simply beautiful... much more beautiful than I could ever hope to be.
5. With Q dressed like a million bucks and me with my bedhead and over sized house coat, we made for quite the scene for early morning workers in my building heading off to work. Regardless, it made for quite the Cinderella ending... it was perfect.
6. Turns out he skipped out on work and took the day off so that we could deal with yesterday's drama. I raced off to see the Cheonan Trump but then met up with Q around noon.
7. Spent the afternoon lying around Q's house having quite the serious chat. Q wants us to get married anywhere between 8 months to one year and so this further complicates my summer hopes of visiting Canada. Should I hold off till winter and plan for Q to come with me to meet my parents?
8. Besides going to watch the movie "Indiana Jones" which, I must note here, was not worth the money but the leading evil woman was pretty cool, we didn't do much. Last night and this morning had drained us... emotionally and physically.
9. Q cooked me his famous kimchi jigga for a late dinner. He headed off to the grocery store while I showered and then he surprised me by picking up some ice cream.... ahhh, ice cream. Ice cream ALWAYS makes me smile!!!
10. It's funny how life is, you know. Just yesterday I was in tears and had it set in my mind that I would give up everything. Giving up only caused me to realize that I really do have everything. Ok, so I may not have the super kick-a$$ friends like those in Canada but I do have a pretty wicked job, a great house, my pup, and an amazing boyfriend. Yesterday I really hated Korea but today it's like I fell in love with it all over again. That's just how life is here on the flipside... so not what you expect!
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What the heck am I going to do with this plane ticket now?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
All marriages are mixed marriages.
-- Chantal Saperstein
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.

Awww, that is so sweet. When you said "dropped to his knees" I thought OMG he proposed! But...yeah, you talked about it, that's enough. Q seems like a big sweetheart, I hope you guys make it work.
What to do with the one way ticket?
Turn it into a return ticket, and buy a return ticket for Q as well... So your parents can meet him before you guys get married in 8 - 12 months *^^*
I can picture this happening in my head. Q certainly cares for you so much and it is pretty evident. I am so happy that you have been able to find LOVE again and open your heart to him. He seems like a really great person and I can't wait to the have the opportunity to meet him ;)
What do you and "Cheonan Trump" talk about at your meetings?
Yo Becca,
You and me, both!!! I thought he was going to propose too!
Thank you.
Yo, yo, yo Andy the man!!!
Hey dude... well, I was able to pull some strings and so the one-way ticket is no problem. Much thanks to certain "contacts" I have... hehehe.
Hey Jenn,
For sure.. he is definitely an awesome person. I know he would never intentionally hurt me... he's too sweet to do a thing like that.
Hi Bad Lieutenant,
So, you wanna know what me and the Cheonan Trump talk about at our meetings, well, considering he's my main sponsor, we talk a lot about training. He often ventures off the topic and talks about golf and why a girl like me would want to step in a ring to get my face mashed up... hehehe.
