1. Met up with my language group in the morning and was greeted by my curious members all eager to ask me “Where were you yesterday?” Felt nice to be missed.
2. What feels even nicer is knowing that my beautiful husband is waiting outside for me. Snickers drove me work today and stuck around so that he could drive me home – isn’t that just so sweet?!!!
3. My days of being home and alone are on temporary leave on account that Snickers’ boss wants him to work full time, meaning that he’d work from 7:30am to 7:30pm. 7pm is boxing time for both Snickers and I, it’s a sacred time in our day (hahaha), so Snickers confidently refused the offer and quit. Yup, he quit his job – good for him. That job was sending him home every day with aches and pains, and not enough money to make up for such pains.
4. Daejon Immigration called Snickers today and Snickers said we had to head out there a.s.a.p. My initial thought was something was wrong, after all, why would we need a second interview?! Snickers definitely didn’t help by sporting a concerned look on his face; he’s almost never serious.
5. An hour or so later we showed up at Daejon. I nervously took a number and waited for them to call us. Snickers, on the other hand, went straight up to the immigration officer and started talking. He kept on turning back to look at me, so I really didn’t know what to think.
6. GOT MY F2 VISA!!!
7. Turns out me being told to come for yet another interview was a big hoax and that phone call Snickers had received earlier on today was then telling him to come pick it up. I screamed with excitement in the immigration office but then made sure to give him a good punch to the shoulder upon hearing that he had kept it a secret for almost an hour and a half.
8. With a F2 visa in my hand, a grin from ear-to-ear, a handsome hubby by my side, and absolutely nothing on my schedule today except for boxing, we decided to hit up Costco. Today’s visit marked our second visit in less than a week. We didn’t exactly go to town again on goodies but instead picked up some random things for us and granola bars for a former coworker. We decided to order lunch from Costco but I guess I should have been more specific when I told Snickers to buy pizza. He returned to our table with a large size cooked pizza, of which I could barely scarf down one slice!!!
9. Resumed our usual afternoon nap time and then woke up for boxing. Tonight marked Panty Boy Jr.’s last training session before his weigh-in tomorrow, so he was definitely under the pressure and Junior Mint was obviously sporting stress. It was nice to see Black Skinny back out at training; I think him showing up today helped take the pressure and focus off Panty Boy Jr.
10. Little Miss was also at boxing tonight and she was wearing quite a face full of make-up to which Snickers gave her a dirty look and talking to. He pulled me into the conversation by asking me what I thought of her wearing make-up at such an early age. I gave her a stern look and told her that wearing makeup at her age will do nothing but attract bad boys. I didn’t wear make-up until I was in my first year of university and it was basically only because I started a waitress job at a upscale French bistro.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Why do kids want to grow up so fast?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
-- John J. Plomp
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.

Of course he quit. I'm surprised he lasted more than a couple of days. Why work when you can support him and he can live the good life?
