1. All our plans, and by “our” I mean Snickers and I, for the day were centered around watching boxing today, in particular, the “Pretty Boy”, “Money” Mayweather fight.
2. Loaded up on groceries.
3. I’d say on average I eat pizza about 4-5 times a year and today was one of those times. Snickers dashed out of Guum Ggum right before the boxing fights started on TV and returned with a pizza loaded to the brim with grade A goodness and a ton of calories…. sausages, sweet potato, cheese-filled crust, and dough that left you with sore gums from having to chew it so much. It tasted good, don’t get me wrong, but I knew full well that I’d be paying the price for it later.
4. Snickers hand is still about three times its’ normal size. He refused to go to the hospital but I convinced him to go tomorrow, once some of the swelling has gone down. He’s able to move his fingers and says it doesn’t hurt, but nothing is natural about his balloon hand.
5. Checked out the Mayweather fight. He hasn’t stepped into the ring for a fight for 21 months, almost two years, and so it was quite the fight, although I’m curious to know why he didn’t have any sponsor names or even so much as his own name on his game trunks.
6. Watched a total of three hours of boxing, followed by about two hours of ultimate fighting.
7. Met up with K-Gere for a late evening dinner and started our little dinner double-date off by totally embarrassing myself with what I’d like to call “The air born splat”… hahaha. Snickers and I had gone over to his father K-Gere’s house and so I was all eager to see his two dogs, Chumchi and Tuna. They were in the backyard but in order to get to the backyard you have to go through the bathroom, the bathroom which, I hadn’t noticed, was sporting quite the wet floor. Ya, I’m pretty sure you can guess as to what happened when my racing feet and the wet floor made contact… “SPLAT”. I knew K-Gere, his girlfriend, and Snickers had all seen and heard my air born splat and so I put my head back and laughed at myself.
8. It wasn’t until about three hours later when I couldn’t take the pain anymore that I admitted to Snickers that I had really messed up my left elbow.
9. Our dinner date was set at a restaurant way in the middle of nowhere in Cheonan but it was nice. It was followed by the two of us couples taking a nice leisurely stroll down a country road and then returning back to downtown Cheonan.
10. Snickers studying English tonight consisted of him cooking up some sausages and making fried eggs. He argued that he couldn’t do the homework I had made for him on account that his hand was swollen but I found it rather convenient that he couldn’t use a pencil but he had no problem using chopsticks or a cooking spatula.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Who is the gardener of your soul?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
-- Marcel Proust
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.

Hi Vbuuren,
I know... I really could have hurt myself. My elbow still hurts a bit and it's been a little under a week now.
