So Snickers and I made quite the decision the other day… I’m staying in Canada until September 9th.
Originally Snickers and I were supposed to leave this past Sunday but we changed our tickets to this Wednesday. Then, with the sudden drop in my mom’s condition and the doctor saying it’ll only be a week or so, if not days, we both agreed that I should stay longer.
We both wanted to stay but with Snickers being scheduled a September fight he has to buckle down and train for and the two dogs – Mi Nam being ok but Pyen Chi giving Snickers’ friend a hard time – it’s best he return.
Plans to get an early 3am ride into Toronto with one of my brother’s was a bust when he shot his mouth off at the hospital and I snapped at him. He made a sarcastic remark about my other brother, claiming that he wasn’t doing anything to support mom when we [the rest of us in the family] dropped everything to be here with mom. I really didn’t appreciate his comment and found it very disrespectful to my older brother.
“Don’t start” I warned him. “You didn’t drop anything. You came here, went to Montreal and then ate all the food I bought and I cooked…. Dropped everything?! I’m about to drop you!” I added, and with that my father and Snickers told me to stop.
I was so ticked off and couldn’t believe how ignorant he could be to his own lack of involvement. I wasn’t about to have my last remaining hours with Snickers be in the back seat of my brother’s car, sitting there in awkward silence, so I told them We’d find our own way to the airport.
And that’s exactly what we did. Considering what time the flight was, we ended up having to leave tonight because a morning train in wouldn’t get us there in time. So we took the GO Train to Toronto, jumped on the subway and then switched to a bus that then took us straight to the airport.
Arrived just after midnight. Flight is at 7am Wednesday.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What are you ignorant to?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

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.
