Highlights of my Day... Tuesday, September 30

1. The other day I bought this super sweet dress. It’s quite business-like and it’s definitely very flattering to the body… best $40 I’ve spent in a long time!!! Wearing it to school today got me tons of compliments and comments. Scored the title “s-line queen” from some of my first period students… hehehe.

2. As far as I am concerned, if you go on a date with someone than certain follow-up steps are a must unless you aren’t interested, so when three days had past and I hadn’t heard from Special K, I took as he wasn’t interested. “Another one bites the dust” I thought to myself, no worries. I liked him but didn’t feel that kind of spark, you know, like chemistry. Come to think of it, I think I bored him with my constant talking about training and dieting. I must admit, my health is my top priority.

3. I know it may sound a bit shallow of me but here me out, I can’t see myself with a man that’s not into exercising. Ok, so I like a fit man, fair enough, I’m a fit girl. But it goes beyond just the physical attraction, it’s a lifestyle for me. Treating me out to luxury dinning and showering me with candy and sweets will do nothing for you but guarantee I won’t be calling you for a second date. I don’t want to date someone that really drinks or smokes and he’s got to be hitting the gym a couple of times a week or at least be conscious of what he’s putting into his body (watches what he eats). My training schedule is hard but my diet is even harder, very restricting, and I’m not about to throw it away for some dude who thinks his cuteness will win me over. Cuteness fads in life but health will give you a longer happier life.

4. I had made the realization last night that while I was trying on different guys “for size” (as if they were shoes… hehehe) I had always had one that fit, Q. Ok, so he made me cry and ok, so he’s oblivious to what it’s like for me as a foreigner, but he makes me smile, he’s always quick to bombard me with kisses and brush my hair from my face, he’s honest and respected, and he makes me laugh… those things are important to me. I rather have a funny guy than a smart guy, a cute guy than a handsome guy, a silly guy than a serious guy, and I rather have someone I can trust over someone that leaves me guessing and questioning. That’s always been my problem with guys. It’s always been hard for a guy to earn my trust. I trust Q though.

5. And so, on that note, I called Q and all it took was one phone call and a giggle to get him to jump back into the picture. The picture may not be perfect but it is pretty cozy.

6. Showing up at boxing with Q walking in right after me raised many eyebrows considering last time we had this same situation, we were on bad terms and everyone felt our bad vibes. I thought it funny to play with them all for a bit and so when Q accidentally stepped on my rolled-out hand wrap, I yelled out “Ya!” to him. Junior Mint instantly stood up, thinking that we were about to scrap. Others stopped to watched. But when Q turned around, I added, “be careful, ok cutie?” and with that a huge laughter filled the club… hehehe.

7. Some university boys came to check out the club and so Junior Mint trained me like a mad man… I love it though. It’s one of those love-hate things. The training kills me and leaves me feeling extremely exhausted but then there’s my love of it, knowing that it totally worked my body past it’s potential point.

8. Ended up getting into an argument with Junior Mint and everyone watched it go down, I was quite embarrassed but I had to get it off my chest. I had asked him when my next fight is and he kind of brushed off my question, that is, until I mentioned that if he’s not willing to give me a fight than I know who will. Yes, that’s right… a little something for him to think about. He didn’t do much thinking about it though, although I’m not to sure on whether or not I’ve been approached by another boxing club owner, a man in Seoul, who wants to be my manager and is promising me another fight if I sign with him. My loyalty is to Junior Mint and I would never turn on him but I need another fight. It’s no longer whether or not I want one. Sponsors are getting anxious for another match and unless I can tell them a for sure date, they’ll move on to the next girl.

9. Junior Mint snapped back at me, telling me that it’s hard to schedule a fight when the fighters are female. “I know that but it’s YOUR job!” I said. He looked at me and I seriously thought he was going to give me a good beat to the head for talking so rudely, but he didn’t. Q jumped into the argument by telling Junior Mint that I’ve been talking about leaving Korea for good, this is true. I had told Q that I stayed in Korea for him and my boxing but with him and I on the rocks, I am now only here for my boxing… my boxing that hasn’t been giving me any fights. It’s so frustrating. Honestly, Junior Mint can’t afford to lose me to Canada, not right now at least. With Panty Boy Jr. out of the scene, the club’s main representative boxers are Black Skinny and me. Black Skinny is a Korean champion and I am the first and only foreign female professional boxer in this whole country. Between the two of us, we’ve created a lot of hype for the club and a lot of publicity for Junior Mint.

10. By the end of the argument we had come to a conclusion… Black Skinny won’t fight unless I am given a fight in the same tournament and vise verso with me fighting unless he has a fight.

QUESTION OF THE DAY…
Now days elementary kids have boy/girfriends, what ever happened to just being a kid?
