Had a near-death experience today when I woke up to what felt like someone trying to snuff me out with a pillow. My instant reaction was to try to grab whatever was pushing down so incredibly hard on my head, only to realize that it was Pyen Chi. Pyen Chi had flopped herself down on my head. It was actually quite scary because my arms were crossed behind my head so both my arms were pinned by the weight of her massive body. I was home alone too, to make matters even worse, so screaming for help was pointless and there was no Snickers to help me. I had no choice but to bite her. Yup, I bit her. At first she didn’t react. I had a mouthful of fur and skin but not of air and freedom, so I bit harder. Finally she reacted. She got up, swung her head into my face and bit my nose. Served me right I guess but my options were definitely limited.
This isn’t the first time Pyen Chi’s flopped down on me but this was definitely the first time she’s flopped down on my head. Every morning, usually around 5 or 6am, she does this. She tries to lay her whole body down on mine. It was fine when she was a pup, quite adorable actually, but now’s she is 37kgs and it’s just down-right scary at times. I have to do the whole tap-out like in UFC, banging on the floor to get Snickers attention and to get him to help get her off me.
Snickers shows Pyen Chi tough love whereas I bombard her with kisses, hugs and always cuddle with her. She’s become this massive walking-talking teddy bear and yes, I said talking. Trust me, if you don’t feed her in the morning when she’s hungry or if she needs to go outside for a bathroom break, she’s gets very verbal – no barking, just a lot of moaning and groaning. We try to initiate it a lot but we end up looking like fools and laughing at each other. I’m sure she thinks we’re a bit nuts but that’s ok by me.
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.
