1. More student meetings meant more begging students, more bribes and yet, more marks that I wasn’t about to change. “You didn’t do the homework, you didn’t do the midterm or the final exam, and you didn’t do the in-class presentation, so give me one good reason why I shouldn’t fail you.” I said.
2. “… because I am cute” was what she replied with and on that note I shook my head, gave a giggle and asked her to leave.
3. Slaved away yesterday at my professional portfolio only to forget it at home today… nuts! Nuts, nuts, nuts!!! This means I’ll have to come back on Monday to drop it off.
4. Professional portfolio: course syllabus, lecture notes, Power Point screens printed out (6 screens per page), quizzes, copies of the midterm and final exam, extra handouts, and the in-class presentation outline… A hundred and thirty pages that shows exactly what I did in class this last semester (past 16 weeks).
5. And to think, I have to do this all over next semester. Every semester a new course so every semester another portfolio.
6. The boxing club was booming today with high school students and numerous other amateur boxers. Little Miss Sunshine was there and so I got my usual back massage and thumbs up from her… hehehe.
7. Ahhh… gotta love the high school boys for their naive and gullible thinking. Apparently all it takes is ice cream (which costs about 50 cents at the local GS store) to get them whaling away at each other round after round in the ring…. Hehehe.
8. Tonight Q was double-booked for the evening. He was expected to show up at his work’s dinner party and our club’s boxing dinner party. He promised he’d only be an hour with his coworkers but one hour turned into two… and then almost three. I was ready for 9pm, like he had promised, but then I lost interest around 10:30pm and so I went out for a walk with Mi Nam.
9. Met the biggest dog I have seen on this side of the globe… he looked like a horse!!! I think he’s a bull mastiff and with a head quite larger than mine, a drooling mouth, and his strong physic, I felt quite intimidated when I turned the corner and there he stood, looking at us. I’ve been living down the street for him for years but have never seen or heard him but there he was. Turns out he’s the guard dog for one of the local hotel’s parking lot. Mi Nam was spooked at the sight of him. He jumped up and down, barked and his hair stood on end. As for the other dog, the massive mastiff, he could care less about Mi Nam. I think it’s cause he out sized Mi Nam like a hundred times… hehehe.
10. Finally Q showed up but by then I was more interested in going back to see the mastiff then trek off to a dinner party that I was now three hours late for. We ended up doing both but on our way to meet some of our team mates we ran into Junior Mint… yikes. Q took a public beating for making me so late and for making us miss the dinner. By the time we met up with Black Skinny and some of the other boxers, I was tired and so I made Q promise me we’d only be there 30 minutes. The deal was that if we stayed longer than 30 minutes he’d have to give me a back massage. We stayed EXACTLY thirty minutes… but, I still got my massage ;)
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
If common sense isn't so common, then what can we call it?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Stupid is forever, ignorance can be fixed.
-- Don Wood
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.
