1. Marriage is bliss… well, my marriage with Snickers certainly is! We continue to be big active advocates of PDA (public display of affection) and clearly our honeymoon has yet to come to any end. Nor does it look like it will be doing so any time soon. Today I woke up to Snickers all snuggled up on what tiny weenie part of the floor mat I hadn’t taken over. I couldn’t help but give a little giggle. My giggle woke him up whereupon he looked at me, smiled, kissed me on my nose, and then went back to sleep. This IS the good life!
2. A year ago one of my friends left to go study English in America with her boyfriend. They’ve returned, yah for that!!! It’s been but only a year since we’ve last seen each other but boy has a lot changed for me in that one year. Am looking forward to catching up with her for some much anticipated catch-up girl talk.
3. Speaking of catching up on days passed, today on MSN I was able to get caught up to date with one of my cousins who’s going through quite a difficult time, which is apparently quite the understatement.
4. News from my cousin weighed heavy on me today and I laid back to ponder it all. My plans were to go to training but I ditched that idea and instead got lost in thoughts regarding my cousin.
5. MSN is like a big tease for me. It lets me connect with those I love but it is quick to remind me that I can look but I can’t touch. I feel like some kind of viewer, listening and watching from the outside but unable to get fully involved in the picture. That’s rough.
6. Snickers arrived home early from training and walked into a dark house. I was sitting in the middle of the floor, exactly where I had sat down two hours ago, and all the lights were off. I had totally zoned out.
7. Zoned back into it with the arrival of Snickers.
8. Picked up the pictures from our honeymoon. We had bought an underwater camera while in Bali and had fun playing around with it in the pool though we doubted whether it was actually capturing our shots. I posted two of the photos in yesterday’s posting and included two more in today’s posting.
9. Went on a date with a married man – my married man… hahaha. Our date started off with dinner at Mainz and it was supposed to be followed by a late night walk with hot chocolate around Dankook University’s lake. However, when we returned home after dinner, Snickers turned on the tube while I changed clothes and on TV “Dragon Boy” (I think that’s what it’s called). It’s a Japanese animation show that he is crazy about. Well, the walk never did happen but I did score a back massage for him skipping out on me… hahaha.
10. Taught the word “discrimination” and “spoiled” the other day to Snickers and tonight he tried them out when we were watching the Olympics. “Canada is spoiled discrimination. No Togo people or Mexicans are in their Olympics!” Instantly I blurted out laughing. Snickers only of Togo because of the fact that Korea played them in the World Cup and he’s only interested in Mexico because they have some famous boxers he favors. I knew he was only joking with his sentence, and poor use of those two words, but it was hilarious. “Nice try there smarty pants but how are they supposed to train? They have no snow” I told him. “That’s not the point… there’s still no Togo people or Mexicans!”
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Where's all the Togoians?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If an idea's worth having once, it's worth having twice.
-- Tom Stoppard
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.
