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.

The before and after shots of waiting almost 5 months to get my hair cut and dyed.
This was the me today, sporting a tank top and cut off pants, but I fear coming tomorrow a whole new Amy is going to start to evolve.
Come tomorrow I'll be spending countless hours at our new boxing club, monitoring our renovation crew and ordering them around.  I'm going to turn into a frozen Polish popsicle, desparately needing coffee because of their early-bird crazy schedule planned. 
 It's going to be awesome, don't get me wrong, but my creativity has been already keeping me up till the wee hours.  I can only imagine what seeing it all come together is going to do for me wanting to push my creativity even more. 
 And I so see this becoming me too, not willingly walking around in what looks like booty shorts but forgetting to do obvious things, like put on pants.  And I can definitely see myself pulling a stunt like this, not going crazy but doing something drastic with my looks, like sporting cornrolls for work or getting a sleave tattoo.
Tomorrow everything changes and I have to tell myself that no matter what changes come, I have to put my big girl panties on and deal with it.  Thanks Jack Black, I'll be needing those now.
