In the early afternoon I took Pyen Chi out for a walk and, upon realizing just how sunny and toasty warm it was outside, I decided to take Balboa with us... and thankfully my camera too.
Besides his initial journey to his new home and his vet visits when he first joined us, Balboa hasn't really gone outside. He's never actually touched the outside ground, that is not until today!
Upon his four little feet touching Mother Nature's natural floor, he gave a little jump and instantly realized this was something new. Pyen Chi was quick to clue into this too so I had to watch her, making sure she didn't jump all over Balboa with excitement.
Reactions from people walking by the three of us were priceless. At first, there was the couple who didn't even see Balboa but freaked at the sight of Pyen Chi. Then there was the young girl who I'm pretty sure she mistook Balboa for some kind of street rat because she gave out a little scream and jumped back. The best though was the older guy who looked totally dazed and confused. I'm sure when we walked by he must have rubbed his eyes a couple of times because he stood there watching us for a good couple of minutes.
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.
