1. Ate my last scoop of oatmeal… so sad but so delish. And no sooner did I finish my last scoop of oatmeal but then I got on my phone and text messaged a whack of people in hopes of them "hooking a sister-of-another-mister up"... hahaha. The other day I had posted about needing oatmeal and, as much as I was entertained by several people emailing me in response to it, I was relieved to hear that I could pick up a bag of oatmeal tomorrow with no strings attached. Having said that, thank you to those of you who took the time to email me regarding it but no, I'm not interested in exchanging a bag of oatmeal for a pair of my panties or a lock of my hair. I will, however, happily send a signed pair of hand wraps to you, a Mr. Grin in Memphis, Texas for free -- no need to send me oatmeal for that.
2. On account of the drizzling rain, Snickers’ and my drive to the beach was postponed.
3. Snickers got asked to look after the twins, my nephews, and I knew full well that it wouldn’t be just an hour or two so I opted not to go.
4. Not going meant I ended up having to stick around the house because he left his keys at home. He does this a lot, actually, we both do it. I guess we do it cause it’s nice to know that someone’s at home waiting for us but sometimes it doesn’t quite work out so nice, like tonight.
5. At boxing I ran into one of my High School kiddies who occasionally spars with me. I haven’t seen him for awhile because of my change in training schedule. Ever since he called me pretty, which was way back in the day now, Junior Mint has always made a point of teasing him about it. Today Junior Mint yelled out to him and told him that I was now a married woman. His eyes bulged out and Junior Mint joked that he looked heartbroken. I’m sure he wasn’t heartbroken but instead was impressed to hear that my husband is a younger guy. “Congratulations Amy!!!” he told me. I think the congrats was for snagging a young pup… hahaha.
6. Taking Mi Nam out to play in the rain sounded like a good idea that is until he decided he’d jump in the river. The river isn’t frozen anymore and it hasn’t been for some time not but it’s certainly not warm water yet. He got a standing ovation from the chicken delivery boy who was sitting on his scooter across the street.
7. Was initially going to attend the monthly dinner party group gathering but I didn’t know what time Snickers would be coming home and so I decided to stick around the area.
8. Met up with a buddy who then had other buddies join us. Talk of the table was “Korean verses foreigners” with regards to dating. On my side of the table sat me and two Korean guys. Across from us sat two Western guys (from America?). “Once you go Asian, you never go Caucasian” was my motto… hahaha.
9. Speaking of Asia, along walked in Snickers. He had left the house before 1pm and it was about 8pm when he returned. So much for “just an hour or two”.
10. As for the rest of the evening, Snickers did a miserable attempt at studying English and no sooner had he opened his books but then he was distracted and tempted to join me while I painted my nails. We watched some of the Olympics and then it was an early lights out.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Who's your favourite person?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
-- Albert Schweitzer
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.
