With all this excess time on my hands now that I'm confined to a hosptial bed and can't even get up to walk around because I've got an iv bag/pole to tag along and nothing but socks on my feet, I've been killing time in the weirdest of ways.
I've got no computer, no pens or writing devices of any nature, no book besides the one my insurance man gave me, and nothing really that's mine beside the clothes I walked in with and my cell phone. Thankfully I've got a cell phone charger with me so I've been doing a lot of Internet stuff via my phone.
I'm temporarily, or so I hope, addicted to "Words with Friends", a scrabble phone application game.
I've done a lot of four-legged friend searching and inquiring online, to which I'm sad to note that Jacob, the little dog I wanted to adopt, is being adopted by his foster mom. I'm happy that he's got a perminant home but a bit sad it's not with me. The other little doggie I was interested in is having health problems and I don't want to have that complicate things with Pyen Chi.
I'm not a big fan of TV unless it's to watch boxing, strong man competitions or UFC but both my roommates are freaked out about me being a boxing so I'm sure they won't be into watching it on TV. They seem addicted to any and every drama show that has yelling men and crying women in it so it's been quite annoying having the TV on all day.
I've started reading the book my insurance man gave me, it's titled "The 5 Languages of Love", and it's quite interesting -- a bit cheesy but interesting.
So besides using my cell phone I've pretty much have stuck to sleeping. I refuse to let any of Snickers friends or family come visit me on account that I haven't showered since Tuesday morning and I don't want them to see me looking so multi-coloured. I really don't want their pity looks because I don't feel there's anything to pity about my situation. A part of me doesn't want to see Snickers' family because I think them seeing me like this will only encourage and reinforce their dissatisifaction with me boxing. It'd be a kind of "I-told-you-so, I-told-you-no" situation if you know what I mean. Maybe I'm wrong but why test it out and find out I'm not.
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.
