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.

Birthday in the Boonies... Saturday, August 6

Headed out today to my family's annual Big Bere BBQ at my Uncle Albert's beautiful lakeside house.





All but my mom took the long drive up there. Everyone had fun relaxing in the sun, playing around with family members and spending time with new ones.

Snickers and I had cooked some Korean pancake treats -- they were a HUGE hit -- and I ate my once-a-year burger. Well, I almost ate it all. Snickers ended up going in for the kill on that one.


And what's a trip up to my uncle's house without getting out on the lake?!... Exactly. Took the paddle boat out for the spin, my younger cousins swam and went tubing, and many zipped along the lake on the boat.


Snickers was proud to represent Asia in our family of mostly Polacks.


But I was the only one representing the birthday crowd... happy birthday to me.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
If you picked your own family members would you pick the ones you actually have?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining.
