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.

Visited Pyen Chi today and came with treats for all four-legged friends.
Khan looked soooo cute trying to find the milk bone I brought him.  With all his excessive hair and big droopy face, it was hard for him to find it.
Some of my buddies came along with me but they didn't care to get too close.  
The big black beast in this picture is actually another female Tibet Mastiff, just like Pyen Chi, but her fur is so much longer.
As for this, dare I say it for sake you don't believe me, puppy, he's a Russian Ovcharka and he and his sibling are expected to reach about 100-120kgs in weight... woozers!  I remember once visiting my friend's dog farm out in Chungju. He raises Ovcharkas and let me tell you, you DON'T walk one.  You let it walk itself!
And if you haven't noticed, this dog has NO EARS, yup, it's a thing breeders do with this particular breed.  I think it's quite nasty and looks like exposed brain if you ask me.
I really do miss Pyen Chi and obviously so do Snickers... she clearly missed us too as evident by the fact she barked her head off when we left.
Snickers is convinced she will never get pregnant (and that's alright by me).  I'm really not interested in her having babies though I know many of my friends who have given it considerable thought are eager to have one.  Pyen Chi's overly stubborn ways and get-me-pregnant-and-die mentality is right in line with how I think.  Snickers joked the other day and said if she had a baby she wouldn't be so stressed.  I'm sure he was joking but I gave him a nasty look and blurted out "Ya, like a baby solves stress.  This is why men aren't allowed to get pregnant, and amen to that!!!"
I joke about Snickers being my wife but seriously, can you imagine if in reality he was the wife and I was physically the husband?!  He'd be pregnant left-right-and-center, hoping to pop out kids like big boy Khan.  Mind ya, perhaps him being the pregnant one would bring an end to this baby talk.  I'm sure popping out a baby Khan would have him chewing on his words and begging me not to touch him again.

I can't believe you're doing this to a dog you say you love... Actually, reading your blog, I do believe it.

Hahahaha... sorry Anonymous, but I just had to laugh at the nonsense of that comment. I won't even get into it really but will note this, of course I love my dog and that's why I'm doing it, because the people in my life that I ALSO love want a dog and I want them to get one that they can trust in and know it's from a good home. Sorry if I'm not supporting my friends to go to puppy mills.

Pyen's man is huge, damn girl!
You really know how to pick the men.
I hope she gets pregnant and that all this hope and effort isn't wasted.

GET PREGNANT PYEN!

I took great offense when I read the first person's ill-mannered comment because I am one of Amy's friends who had asked her about breeding Pyen Chi. I took in a shelter dog originally but after it lashed out at my daughter I refused to let it back in the house. It has since gone to live with someone else. I want a large dog but I can not have a large dog with issues like many of the shelter dogs do. I have a mentally challenged daughter who doesn't understand things like many other children do and I refuse to put her safety and healthy in jeopardy. I know Amy and her husband personally and I know that they are very good to all their dogs. She's agreed to help me train our puppy if Pyen Chi has any and I really respect and am honored that she'd even consider breeding her dog for me. I think what she is doing is incredibly sweet and quite the testimony to our friendship. So reading someone lash out with such a comment that couldn't possibly be further than the truth to the situation, I really can only shake my head and feel disgusted. You should be disgusted in yourself.
