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.

Today was a hard day and the physical demands of the work we were doing definitely didn't help to make it any easier.  We continued to slave over this silly floor and I've got two hands covered in floor adhesive to prove it. I've also got spray paint in my hair (and lungs too I'm sure) to account for us spray painting parts of the ceiling where the old light fixtures were.
 With tomorrow being our Day At the Races, we ended up having a bit of a freak-out with the t-shirt company when noon arrived and our race day shirts had yet to arrive.  Ended up taking it upon ourselves to search them out and our search took us to the most sketchy of warehouses.
We drove our van right into this massive warehouse area where boxes upon boxes were staked, stored and sitting around in what appeared to be an unprotected mess.  Then we went through them, searching out our delivery.  It was only when we approached their office that someone came out to help us.
My faith in Korean mail is officially on its death bed!!!
Finally found our box of t-shirts and they're awesome!!!  The green isn't the exact green that we wanted, wanted a more lime green, but I am definitely liking this green.  It's more "foreign-friendly" on our skin tones because, unlike Koreans who can wear any colour under the sun and look fabulous, us foreigners can't.  This green shade though is very suitable for all!!!
