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.

Anniversary Date Night

This is how the day started -- everyone flopped out and passed out.
But I didn't let that go on for long before I kicked Snickers off the couch, told him to get dressed and insisted he take me out on a date.  Today we headed out to celebrate my parent's wedding anniversary.
Our date started off at a cute little lake side coffee shop.
It was just Snickers and me... and a beautiful scenic view for us to enjoy.
I ordered my beloved cappuccino and Snickers got a milk-ice treat.
No sooner were we about to leave but suddenly this was brought to our table.  Someone at the cafe had recognized who Snickers and I were and wanted to treat us.  I was flattered though found it rather amusing that someone who knew us as professional boxers would send over such a hard kill to our training and clean eating but, none the less, it's always the thought that counts.
And then, when we tried a second attempt to leave, someone started yelling out my name.  Who should it be but one of my best friends in Korea -- Buff Boy -- who has been MIA for some time now (aka, he got married and had a kid so our cool cat life as we knew it of training together and hanging out had to stop).  
A drive in the countryside after our cafe stop soon turned into a house-hunting party with us stumbling across this gorgeous house that had a patio to die for.
The house itself isn't nicer than my current one but the patio, come on... with a patio like that I probably would never be inside anyways!!! And look at the view it's got... woozers!!!
