1. Once my eyes and Snickers’ eyes met the TV screen we were mesmerized and lost in the excitement of the Olympics. Still haven’t seen any people from Togo or any Mexicans… hahaha.
2. What?! The Americans beat the Canadians in hockey?!!! Hockey is Canada’s sport, in their blood. Whether it’s ball hockey, field hockey, air hockey, street hockey, air hockey, or foot hockey, Canada loves it’s hockey, so why the heck did they lose? And to make matters worse, they lost to the Americans!!! Ahhh… it’s a black, black day in Canada.
3. For some silly reason I thought it funny to spontaneously spit a chocolate across the family room. Snickers didn’t share in my amusement and instead thought I was trying to prove a point. Not too sure on what point that was but I got told to clean it up immediately and he gave me quite the stern frown.
4. Snickers got asked to babysit his two nephews while his sister tended to her father-in-law in the hospital. I went along to help him and got to play Auntie Amy. I’ve got two nieces in Canada and two nephews in Korea. My two nephews, Hyun Jun and Su Sung, are only four years old but they’re super cute and super fun.
5. Hyun Jun has always been my favorite. He’s three minutes older than Su Sung but is like double his size. He always gives me kisses and sneaks peeks at me to see if I’m looking at him when he walks away. Today, however, it was Su Sung who bombarded me with attention and so Hyun Jun looked a bit jealous when I kissed Su Sung on the hand. He pouted and sat in the other room at one point so I went to go talk to him. He told me not to kiss Su Sung. “Don’t be sad” I told him, “I always save my best kisses for you!”
6. Playing with the twins is exhausting but fun. Snickers always throws them around and once you start horsing-around with the one, the other wants the same treatment. Next thing I knew it I was riding around on all fours with both of them on my back.
7. By the time we got finished looking after the twins we were too tired to do anything else.
8. I stayed home while Snickers headed off to his boxing club to sit down with his coach for a serious talk.
9. When Snickers returned home I was definitely curious about what the two had talked about. Turns out Snickers had told his coach that he wanted to leave him. He wants to break his contract with his coach as his manager and seek out a different manager. I am all in favor of this situation and think it’s long overdue.
10. As for the rest of the evening, we watched some more Olympics.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How cute can one kid get?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.
-- Dr. Haim Ginott
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.
