Two for One Deal... Tuesday, January 10

Monday – Blood, Sweat and almost Tears

With the Cheonan Bulldog’s fight suddenly being canceled, he’s been a no-go lately for sparring with me so today I stepped into the ring to spar with my coach – Junior Mint. It was a weighted sparring session, which meant he couldn’t use his full force when punching me, obviously cause he’s like 80kg. Despite him not hitting me with full force it was a hard sparring session. When he was in his prime, Junior Mint was a Korean champion boxer so he knows his stuff. Moreover, because he’s been my sole trainer while here in Korea, he knows all my weaknesses, strengths… and dirty moves. A lot of dirty moves were pulled, a lot of punches we thrown and, oddly enough, a lot of head-butting occurred. At the end of our four round sparring session Junior Mint’s head was already forming a huge bump and my lip had been split open and was starting to swell.


Tuesday – Went Back to Being the Dark-Haired Villain

I made the mistake of listening to someone and heading off to Seoul blindly for a hair appointment I hadn’t yet made but was told I could simply show up and get. Well, that was a no-go and I wasn’t impressed. It took me over two hours to come to the conclusion that I should have just gone to Sunny’s in Cheonan. Initially I had ventured out to Seoul to check out a hair salon that had been getting rave reviews from various friends – various friends who have all got anything but mainstream hair dye jobs. Whether it was the one friend’s hair that had been dyed in chunks, another who got wickedly multi-tone low lights, or a friend who got a vibrant ash brown dye job that perfectly matched her natural hair color, I was eager to test out their stylist. I wanted a darker shade with darker toned low lights and chunks of highlights at the front.
Ended up heading over to Sunny’s and darker toned low lights and chunks of highlights at the front was exactly what I got, plus I scored some 20% off discount cards for my boxercise girls…. sweet!
