1. It was a Saturday morning and I was strolling into weight training at 6am… what’s wrong with this picture?! Did my usual ten minute run, followed up with an intense leg workout, and then wobbled my way home looking like I just got off a horse… hahaha.
2. Weight training was the only training I had on my schedule today but I did head into Snickers’ boxing club to watch him spar. He was scheduled to spar at 1pm with both Black Skinny and Panty Boy Jr. from my boxing club.
3. Junior Mint was suppose to show but turned out to be a no-show. I miss him.
4. For the most part watching Snickers spar means me feeling like my stomach is about to come out my mouth but today it was different. I’m not too sure if his opponents were having a bad day or if it was Snickers that had upgraded, but Snickers clearly won his sparring sessions. Black Skinny is about 3 or 4 weight classes above Snickers and so his higher weight is a huge advantage to him in the ring and usually means he’s pushing Snickers around a lot, not today however. And as for Panty Boy Jr. he’s a bit bigger than Snickers but his strength is in his speed. He’s very fast with not only his hands but with his feet, and his whole body for that matter. Today however, Snickers was much faster.
5. No sparring session is quite complete with at least one boxer getting injured. Black Skinny stepped out of the ring with a nose that is sure to be bruised within a couple of hours, Panty Boy Jr. scored a bit of a black eye, and Snickers scored a bloody nose and bloody lip.
6. I couldn’t stick around to watch the rest of their training as I had coffee plans with Buff Boy the Original at 2pm. So off I raced to Coffee Bean to see him. It’s been about a month since I’ve seen him, too long, and so we had a lot of stuff to catch up on. Turns out he and his girlfriend are thinking about taking my Monday writing class at Dankook and so he joked about wanting an A+. I consider myself a fair professor but I must admit that I don’t give out many A+s in my classes. Among my last year’s register of 300 some students, I think I only gave out 12 A+s, if even that.
7. Buff Boy the Original and Snickers, after months of me talking about them to each other, finally met in person.
8. Snickers’ grandfather collapsed the other day and so ever since then his family has been counting their days with him. As a result, Snickers and his family traveled out to see his grandfather today. The plan was for him to return tomorrow but once he got word that I was going to Little America, he decided to come back tonight. Ever since I took him to Little America and he got a small dose of the “interesting” scene there, it’s obvious he’s not a fan of me associating myself with that place. I go there for the Western goodies (ie. Protein mix and tuna packed in water) Pro Star can get me on the Air Force Base that I can’t get here in Cheonan but Snickers rather I not. I can’t really get mad at him though considering what went down the one time he went there with me for dinner. I think he used the word “vulture” to describe the behavior of the American soldiers there.
9. With my plans to Little America being a total flop, I called up Kitty Cat and asked her if she wanted to do some baking with me. "Oh gosh" I thought to myself, "I'm 29 and I'm so thrilled to be baking on a Satuday night, what's wrong with me?!" Anyway, we swung by Lotte Mart and loaded up on cooking supplies and then got straight to business with our baking. Turns out my oven only has top heat and so cooking or baking anything thick, like the muffins we so killed tonight, is a no-go. Regardless of the fact that our muffins failed miserably, we did make some pretty decent rice-bread-thing-a-ma-jiggees. I ended up eating one of the top-only-cooked muffins and no sooner had it reached my tummy but then my tummy started to send out “I-hate-you-now” signals. Sporting a huge tummy ache for the rest of the evening wasn’t fun.
10. Snickers returned earlier than scheduled and sicker as expected too. I knew he wasn’t feeling so good earlier on but I thought he just hadn’t slept well. No sooner did Kitty Cat leave Guum Ggum but I turned and there was Snickers totally flaked out in the middle of the family room floor.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Where is my sofa already?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Pleasure is the bait of sin.
-- Plato
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.
