1. Waking up sporting a massive ringing in my head meant I was a no-go for weight training.
2. I was also a no-go for first class too – and that was a first.
3. Laying on the floor and trying to stop my brain from spinning in my head was all I did for the first half of the day.
4. Showed up at my last period class, all swollen-eyed and beaten-up looking. They took one look at me and said, “boxing?” “Yup” I replied. “Oh the pains that go with pleasure!” Students continually think it’s funny when I show up for class sporting various boxing or training-related injuries. Whether it’s sore muscles from pushing it too hard at weight-training, or bruised and bloody knuckles from pounding away at boxing, students always given me the look-over for weekly injuries.
5. Continually waiting for Snickers to pop the BIG question is somewhat getting to me now as it has become a daily question asked to me by others. Everyone knows I’m waiting – Snickers knows I’m waiting.
6. Maybe I should just propose to Snickers myself. It’d sure make life easier, though I’m not too sure on how that’d work exactly. Would I have to give him an engagement ring, but don’t guys only wear the one band, the wedding band?! Hmmm… definitely something to look into.
7. Look out Molly Maid – Snickers and I just kicked your butt in our own super-duper, ultra-speedy, totally last minute clean sweep of Guum Ggum when K-Gere called us up and said he was heading over. We literally had but just a handful of minutes to work with and not only did we clean the joint up but I also cooked biscuits!
8. K-Gere walked into a bakery-smelling, beautiful-looking, clean Guum Ggum and was definitely impressed. We were sure to hide our rapidly beating hearts though… hahaha.
9. I like K-Gere, I really do. And despite the strange stalker-like behavior, as I often refer to it as, Snickers’ family often shows, I do like Snickers’ father a lot. I don’t really understand him or his ways often but nonetheless, he is very sweet to me. When I asked him tonight why he had bussed it all the way over to Guum Ggum, he replied with “Because I missed you.” So much for going boxing tonight, that’s okay. It was nice to have an unexpected visit from K-Gere and I’m sure I scored mad brownie points when he opened my fridge and showed a pleased smile at the sight of the packed-with-grade-A-goodies… hahaha.
10. No sooner did K-Gere leave but then we heard this massive explosion sound coming from outside. Snickers and I ran up to the rooftop and there before us was a massive show of fireworks on display. The Building Tool Husband and his son came up to join us watch the beautiful spectacle but Mi Nam was definitely not liking the added company. He continually barked at the two neighbors and I was so thrown off gaurd. Mi Nam never barks at anyone. It's no secret in my building that the Building Tool Husband abuses his dog. Often I hear him literally banging the mutt's head against the wall and I cringe with fear of saying anything on account that I don't want to put Mi Nam in jeopardy. But as the fireworks show came to an end and the four of us headed towards the stairwell, I let Snickers go first and then closed the door, blocking them from continuing down. "You touch my dog and I'll touch you!" I blurted out. I couldn't believe I had just said that, let alone whipped up my fist to make sure they got my point. I tell ya though, if they ever dare to even so much breath on my dog, they're going to have to round up quite the crew of people to pry me off them!!!
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Can you explain your own family?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
-- Bertrand Russell
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.

It's good that you like the father, what about the rest of the family? Aren't Korean's super close with their families? Well on the plus side you get to have two families one in Korea one in Canada!!
