1. It was 5:40am and I woke up to Snickers nudging me. He wanted to come say goodbye to me before he headed off to KBC in Seoul for his pre-game weigh-in. Later on, after his KBC visit in Seoul, he’ll be heading out to the game location and so we won’t be seeing each other until tomorrow, game time.
2. He had discovered my letter and box of chocolates earlier on and so he thanked me, scooped me up from my bedding and hugged me tight. “Ha nul man kum” he whispered to me (which, if I’m correct, translates to “the size of the sky” or “the extent of the sky”).
3. Had yet another tanning appointment and another rub-down by the tanning shop assistant as she yet again rubbed the bronzer on my back. You think I’d be somewhat more comfortable this time around but I wasn’t.
4. Trained alone at the boxing club today and so I plugged in my iPod, cranked up the tunes and then went to training. It’s hard training alone though, I need the energy of my teammates and Junior Mint. Today’s motivation came from repeating my opponent’s name over and over in my head. "Cookie [my opponent] is gonna crumble this Friday!" says my friend Jenny.
5. A little before 2pm Snickers called me to tell me that he made his weigh-in and that he was happily sitting in Seoul with a bloated belly from milk and cola he rewarded himself with after weigh-in. And good for him too but if it were me having to lose 12kgs (that’s about 26 pounds) for a game, I’d be indulging in some ice cream or cheese tak galbi!!!
6. Buff Boy the Original has been busy lately juggling his two girls, Girl A and Girl B, and as a result he overslept and missed our weekly chat time at Coffee Bean. No worries though, next time. I’m interested to hear who he picked though… hahaha. And he say’s I’m bad!
7. Tomorrow is going to be a really long day. I only work 4 hours but then I have a three hour drive out to Snickers’ and Panty Boy Jr’s fight. The show starts at 9pm and then after it’s all over I then have the three hour drive home. So, in anticipation of tomorrow night being a total right off for doing any kind of school prep work, today I made two Power Point lecture files, one for my reading class and the other for my listening and pronunciation class. Thankfully my days of making Power Points will be over temporarily soon with the fast arrival of final exams and the summer break… sweet.
8. I miss my "Nam pyun" (translates to "husband")... yes, we already have annoyingly cute nicknames for each other... hahaha.
9. With Snickers not attached at my hips for the evening (boo for that!!!), I was left home alone with my own thoughts and my own distractions. I had anticipated a lot of distracting text messages and phone calls from him but with Junior Mint in on our secret, text messages and calls were limited.
10. Kicked my butt into study mode and got quite a lot of Korean studying done. It would have been a lot more productive if it weren’t for Mi Nam drooling on my book and me having to write my answers all over again… hahaha.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Why are my weekends always the busiest?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
I think the next best thing to solving a problem is finding some humor in it.
-- Frank A. Clark
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.

Calling your boyfriend of less than two weeks "husband" and saying things like "With Snickers not attached at my hips for the evening (boo for that!!!)," does not strengthen your case that this is a healthy relationship. You sound more like a 13 year old girl every day.
(And with your diet, you look it, too... although I do realize that is for game day)
Stay tuned next week for the buying of the couple rings and the debating of the marriage/babies conundrum. ;)
And don't forget the 'I worked hard for my body and therefore he should be complimenting me on it more than he has been!!' argument. Followed by the ass-kissing responses like 'Ya, you rock Amy!! He should appreciate you more!! You go girl!!'
Hi Renee,
Calling me out on what I think is cute and sweet does not strengthen my acceptence of random people and their comments.
I look like a 13 year old girl?! How so.. because I don't have pertruding breasts?!
Grow up.
Hey Kristin,
Stay tuned for the couple rings and the tattoo of his name on my butt! Oh wait,... I was going to save my cheeks for your name... lol.
Hello Anonymous,
And don't forget the 'you're a total loser for not even signing your name to your homepage comment.' Followed by the 'I think you're a retard'
You folks skipped the "even though I don't want to be married or have kids or live in a house with a fence, I think using the word 'husband' with someone I haven't even slept with yet (because sex is icky) is OK because I'm a Pollack/Canadian depending on my mood" post.
I'm SO not in the mood to deal with you randomers.
Wow. A lot of hate. You'd think for every 5 negative comments there would be one positive? I guess that one is me =D
I have to admit, when I read your nickname for him was "husband" I was kind of surprised. I don't think its an "E-GAD!" moment or anything. It's probably way cuter in person, than being read on a blog. And Amy not wanting to get married/have kids/lead a boring life has nothing to do with calling someone "husband". I think you're trying to come up with things to say now.
The "attached at the hips (boo!)" was just a friendly, funny thing to say. Why is everyone taking everything so seriously?
Is it just me, or were the comments disabled for a while?
Keep it comin' sis =D

Hey Bman,
No hate, just frustrations. I was having a rotten day and coming home to some pretty lame comments was definitly not how I wanted to end my day.
Whether it's people calling me a Chinese boy, saying I look like a 13 year old or telling me I can't change my mind, it's all very annoying.
If there's one thing I hate it's people who have more crap coming out their mouth than their butt.
look in the mirror.
