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.

 After a super long busy day (that's not done yet), I then came home to this.  Found out why Balboa is struggling to learn to pee on his pee pad.  What you're looking at is one single pee pad ripped into a billion-trillion pieces thanks to Pyen Chi.
And no sooner do I come home, drop my stuff and clean up after my two little buddies, but it's out the door to boxing.  It's been a super long day -- Wednesdays are always brutal -- but the boxing club is filled with some of my favourite people in Korea so it's gives me a strong second wind.
This is kind of like our motivational wall at the club.  It's cluttered with pictures of my teammates and they even posted the newspaper article about Snickers and I (I had black hair back then).  And the sign above it all reads "Like the first time", a motto my coach always reminds me about.
Training late means helping with the cleaning.  I left the hard cleaning to the guys and I did the laundry.
