1. Had my morning language meeting and yes, I am getting paid – legally that is now.
2. Was asked to manage the boxing club today and, seeing as Snickers quit his job (still, good for him on that), off to the boxing club both Snickers and I went. We were scheduled to be there from 10am to 5pm.
3. With a whole day ahead of us and no one but us in the club, boredom hit pretty early and we got a bit stir-crazy with it being so chilly in the club.
4. Had this great idea to make a video at the club seeing as we had way too much time on our hands and a club full of trouble we could get into. However, I did take some video but discovered that I have no kind of editing program on my new laptop to make anything of it.
5. ANYONE KNOW OF A GOOD FREE VIDEO EDITING PROGRAM?!!!
6. I tried to teach Snickers how to do a front handspring, despite not being so successful at it myself that is. He was all too eager to try and, even after he literally fell flat on his back, he got up and eagerly tried a second time. Watching him do this not once but twice left me both hysterically laughing and thinking I was going to cry. His back hitting the hard cold ground made quite the loud sound and I knew it had to hurt. He laughed though but did note that it hurt… a lot.
7. As for the rest of our day, after we left the boxing club we went home, showered, and then we headed out to see “Iron Man 2”. Snickers has been wanting to see this flick ever since he caught word that they’d be making a sequel. It was worth the wait too. Not my ideal movie but it was definitely cool.
8. Checked out a new local hot spot, a little bar tucked away on one of the side streets. We were attracted to it because of it’s modern design and massive front window. It was super cozy inside but I didn’t care much for overly smoky atmosphere. We stayed there just long enough to eat some chicken and salad, and save our lungs from giving out on us.
9. As for the rest of the evening, what little was left of it, Snickers headed out to see some long-time-no-see friends from back in the day while I stayed home and studied Korean. I knew he’d be having a couple of drinks with his friends but he assured me that they were meeting downtown and he would only have a little. I watched him walk out the door and down the street and as much as I hate drinking guys, I knew I had to trust Snickers on this and not push things with him. He very rarely drinks but it drives me bonkers on how big of a drinking society Korea is; it’s like they can’t get together with friends or even so much do business without drinking.
10. Tough love, that’s definitely what I’d call the love I have for Snickers. Tonight my tough love was at it’s fullest, it’s toughest, and this all came about when Snickers arrived home around 2:30am. I really don’t want to get into it again right now but instead will right about it in the next couple of days.
QUESTION OF THE DAY…
How tough is your love?
QUOTE OF THE DAY…
I never cease being dumbfounded by the unbelievable things people believe.

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.

Ah--this is bringing back memories of my hubby coming home at 3, 4, even 5 a.m. sometimes! I used to hate it, but no matter how much I explained my feelings or asked him to stop, cultural pressures won out over the wifely nagging. lol. Good luck!
Thanks GOD Sung Hyun doesn't drink. And at least Snickers only goes out every so often ;)
