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.

Just a Brief Word... Thursday, July 14

On July 27th I'm off to Canada with a brief stop in Tibet. And no, the visit to Tibet isn't to see where my "adopted little one", aka Pyen Chi the Pee Master Beast of Fur is from. I may have adopted her but come on, lets not get silly with that... hahaha.

I'll be in Canada for just over a week, just long enough for me to have to cancel my upcoming muchly anticipated fight.... dang on having to make that call.

Snickers has a fight scheduled for late August so our trip to Canada will be filled with early morning runs and weight training, though I think Snickers might end up trying to use my brother's kids for weight training -- squats with the two little girls on his back, bicep curls with one hanging off each of his arms, that kind of thing... hahaha.

I'll be meeting my brother's fiancee for the first time when we arrive in Canada so that'll be both very weird and very cool. My parents have already met her and they really like her but I'm dying to meet the girl that's tamed my brother. I suppose it'll be no more stranger than showing up after all these years and introducing a total stranger to them as my husband... hahaha.

Life is weird but that's the beauty of it.
