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.

Highlights of my Day... Thursday, November 20

1. Had fried eggs for breakfast and then became one big fried Pollack when I accidentally leaned on some mysterious pipe in my classroom. Instantly I yelled out and so some students jumped out of their seat to assist me. My arm had only touched it for a split second but that split second was long enough for it to leave me with a quarter-sized burn. It stung like a mofo!!!

2. Got props and tons of comments from my students for my fox-fir trimmed leather coat. See, I was right… this coat is DEFINITELY paying for itself… hehehe.

3. Ending my stressful week off with my all-boys class was awesome. They’re awesome.

4. Was treated out for lunch at a local Italian restaurant, probably the only one around where they understand and know how to make real Italian pasta, none of this ketchup business with the pasta sauce. I use to always come here with my ex, The Big Ex, and so I haven’t been here for about 2 years. Surprisingly enough, the manager remembered me and so he came to my table to chat with me. Mind ya, he knew he didn’t recognize the guy I was there with and so he gave him quite the strange look… hehehe. He use to joke with me, telling me that I must let him cook for our wedding. I guess that’s not going to happen now, oops.

5. My Man Friend has unofficially left my homepage. No more writing of him. Being attacked about issues regarding him is not a hobby I want to pursue or be pushed into, thanks. Your privilages have been used, abused... and now they're gone.

7. You know you don’t get out much for fun when your boxing coach stops you in mid-training and ask you if you want to drink soju.

8. Calling myself a wangtta at training scored me an unexpected punch to the head by Black Skinny and let me tell you this, getting a punch any where on the body from the Korean champion is DEFINITELY felt… ouch!

9. Did the unthinkable, I called someone on my phone… hehehe. Besides the random calls I make to the Original Buff Boy in Australia and Italiano in Canada, I very, very, very rarely call anyone. I hardly answer my calls too for that matter. I’m all about text messaging. I am the text message queen… hehehe. Anyways, I gave Side Salad a call tonight to wish him all the best with his concert. He was opening up for Drunken Tiger tonight out in Seoul and so I caught him in the VIP room before he went on.

10. Did what wangtta’s do best, hibernated at home for the evening with no one but Mi Nam. Was in bed by 10:30pm.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Who's pointing the finger at you?
