I’ve got love for my mini-Koreans, love for my husband, love for my family and friends – both 2-legged ones and 4-legged ones, love for Ggum Guum, love for my mini-Koreans and kick-a$$ coworkers, love for my boxing and weight training, love for the monsoon season, and I’ve even got love for the gangster wanna-be down the street who randomly follows me down the street in his car and winks.
This Friday I’m resigning from my daycare and finishing my contract with my part time academy job – both of which I have love for but also a love for the ending that’s coming. It’ll be a bittersweet parting, one that I’m sure will be array of mixed emotions and tears.
I have no idea what job I’ll take on next but I have a love for that fact too.
I got offered the writing job I went for but declined it because of the hours. Another offering came from one of my mini-Koreans at the daycare but I’m hesitant as to whether I’ll take it or not because it involves a lot of traveling outside of Korea. I’ve got some more offers too, one from someone off my homepage and others I applied for, but right now I’m in no real rush to sign any contract.
Right now my focus is on getting my Polish butt to Canada, seeing my ill mother and meeting my brother’s soon-to-be wife.
Yup, love is all around and for the spots in my life where it is sour, those spots are slowly but surely being pushed out.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Is love all around you?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
To love and be loved is to feel the sunshine on both sides.

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.
