1. I may not be a ‘back seat driver’ but I do have a bit of ‘horn hog’ in me. While Snickers may satisfy his frustration with other drivers by muttering a couple words, I tend to not hesitate at reaching over his lap and giving the horn a good slap. Reaching for the scooter’s horn button isn’t as easy.
2. Met with my language group. They’re a great group of guys, so it’s awesome to go from the bed of my wickedly awesome man to the office of these hilariously sweet guys. Makes for a fun morning.
3. The other day a new guy joined my language group and my jaw just about dropped when he walked in the door. I blushed at the sight of him because, at first glance, he looked just like Snickers. Of course, the more I looked at him the more I could spot the physical differences. His face was wider, his cheekbones weren’t as defined, and he wasn’t as lean. Regardless, I had a good giggle at the situation and so did the guys when I filled them in on why I had gone from being a mature 29 year-old woman to that of a giggling preteen girl.
4. So much for getting down to business and do a long list of errands I had scribbled down in my agenda, it was lights out for me as soon as I arrived back at Ggum Guum from my morning meeting.
5. Afternoon nap time has been officially replaced with morning nap time.
6. Weigh-in for week three of Operation Phat and it’s been great to read the success stories – and even the not-so successful stories.
7. Today was day two for Snickers and his new job. I thought I’d be a sweet wife by cooking up a wickedly delicious Korean-style dinner, equipped with all the fixings, numerous side dishes (due credit to Lotte Mart there), and even candles and wine.
8. When Snickers got off work he called me to ask me to grab his boxing gear and to tell me he’d be by in ten minutes to pick me up for boxing. I tried to lure him in the house but it just didn’t work, so I blew out the candles, put all the side dished in the fridge, and left my cooked Korean beef on the table to get cold.
9. Two and a half hours later, after sweating our brains out at boxing, dinner was reserved.
10. And by 10pm he was out cold for the night, too exhausted to finish off the scary movie that was on TV. I, being like a horse with blinders on when my eyes make contact with a scary movie, couldn’t peel myself away though the movie scared the heck out of me.
QUESTION OF THE DAY…
Why do we like things, like movies and roller coasters, that scare us?
QUOTE OF THE DAY…
Feel the fear and do it anyway.
-- Susan Jeffers
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.
