Original plan for tonight -- Christmas Eve -- involved the following:
1. Rent an old skool Christmas movie.
2. Bake Christmas cookies with Snickers.
3. Make 2 cups of my home made secret recipe white hot chocolate.
4. Watch the movie while nipping on homemade cookies and sipping on hot chocolate.
That WAS the plan but this was what really went down:
1. Waited 4 hours for Snickers to remember we had a Christmas Eve date. Recently he started playing Starcraft -- a computer game that apparently is highly addicting -- and lost track of the time while out playing with friends.
2. He arrived home, totally forgot it was Christmas Eve and asked if we'd go grocery shopping so I threw the Emart bag at him.
3. Walked out, sat in the park and got teary-eyed. I had hyped up the evening so much in my head so I was incredibly disappointed.
4. Instead of trying to make anything out of the evening, I insisted I wanted to be left alone, then fell asleep at 9pm.
On a plus note, I'm anticipating that this will be my last Christmas Eve in Korea. The Christmas spirit doesn't live here in Korea and consequently I'm guessing Santa won't be visiting here tomorrow.
Bah Humbug.
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.
