Highlights of my Day... Sunday, February 28

1. Had anticipated traveling out to Seoul today to watch some amateur boxing matches but once I got word that Homeboy-C (Snickers’ now former coach) would be in attendance, I thought it best to leave the fighting to the amateur boxers instead. Stayed home and missed the bouts.

2. Sundays are my only day off for training but they are by no means boxing-free. Usually my Sunday mornings are marked with countless hours of watching boxing bouts on TV but with Snickers not yet back from Granny-Kim’s house, I slept the morning away.

3. I’ve been contemplating heading off to Japan for a month of training with Mr. Seiki, the coach of my Japan opponent. I really want to change up my training and am hoping to add pad work with Snickers into my weekly boxing routine.

4. May have scored a fight in Japan for Snickers in May. My Japan Promoter contacted me today and advised us to go there early and train at a local club so that when he’s introduced at the fight they’ll introduce him as a Korean boxer training in Japan.

5. K-Gere and Junior Mint had a serious talk on the phone regarding Snickers’ boxing and what Junior Mint plans to offer Snickers if he signs with him. Turns out what he’s offering is a fight on the first of May which apparently doesn’t work if Snickers accepts the fight in Japan. Regardless, I’m happy to note that it looks like Snickers will be signing with UP Boxing… awesome!!!

6. An overly-smiley and ecstatic Snickers bounced home today and came bearing gifts… an excessive amount of kisses and a hug that I swore was going to pop my head off and a chicken wrap! Delish!!!

7. Our boxing-free morning was substituted with a boxing-full afternoon. After Snickers proudly kicked butt at Play Station2 boxing, he then thought it funny to play wrestle with me. Mind ya, he caught me off guard and I ended up accidentally giving him a good jab to the mouth. Now to a regular couple this would be quite the case of domestic abuse but to a couple like Snickers and I, it’s kind of foreplay for us… hahaha.

8. The plan was to have a date night with Snickers tonight but the date was cut short because he apparently seemed to have some kind of flu bug. We refunded our movie tickets and back home we went. I loaded him up with blankets, cranked up the floor heat, and played “Doctor Amy” – I’m not down with being “Nurse Amy”… hahaha.

9. We laid on the floor chatting about his time at his grandmother’s house. Today his father and him were cleaning out the house of his grandfather’s stuff when his father, K-Gere, stumbled upon a book; it was a diary. It was a diary Grandpa-Kim had kept a secret and had written in it for about 5 years. In it he had drawn cute cartoon strips and random notes about his day. In it he had also hidden a note that he had written two years ago. The note was addressed to his children and upon discovering it, K-Gere “cried like a child”, Snickers told me.

10. One minute Snickers was super cold, the next minute he was sweating like a fat kid. I tried to keep his temperature down by continually blotting his face with a wet towel but it was the NyQuil that put him to rest. One dose of that and it was lights out for Snickers.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How will you be remembered?

In life we don’t get what we want, we get in life what we are. If we want more we have to be able to be more, in order to be more you have to face rejection.
