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.

... because someone asked, "Amy, are you ever sad?"...

Yes, I get sad, not often but I do.
It's 12:23am and I am sad.

I'm sad because today someone who shouldn't have had but did, forgot me.
My solution, keep saving those pennies, or wons as it is in Korea.
I figure at the rate that science is going with advances in technology and cloning, that I'll be able to gather up all my saved coins and buy my own petre dish-made man. Either that or be able to forget and let go all memories of what it means to actually be some one's "Someone".
Dang... I better go to bed now.
This message will be erased tomorrow when my mood changes.

Something we all know deep down, but should be reminded of is that its ok to be sad. Dont delete this post. Every post is something to be remembered and learned from. Dont try to repress anything. I wish i could come visit you and just hangout. Help you when you needed to grade some papers, walk Mi Nam, and occasionally be there for you when you're sad. I give pretty good hugs =)

Hello Anonymous,
Thanks. Thankfully I'm not sad too often. I'm pretty good at bouncing back from it and stopping myself from giving sadness too much of my time.
That'd be nice if we could hang out too. I could give you the grand tour of Cheonan... hehehe.
Thanks for the sweet words of encouragement. I woke up today feeling still sad about yesterday's turn of events.. and lack there of them,.. and so it was nice to read your note. Thank you.
