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.

And We're OUT!!!

We all were suffering a total lack of sleep but poor little Pac and Balboa struggled to sleep when the movers arrived and they were told to stay in on of our bathrooms.
Oh beautiful Pac, don't you worry my four-legged handsome friend.  We're going to take you to a better home that has plenty of room for you to run and jump around in.
A crew of five movers quickly and eagerly packed up all our things.
They didn't really talk to each other; each member had their own task to take care.
And no sooner had they arrived and started packing up our home, but it was being sent out the window from our third floor apartment, loaded on to the trolley, and then packed into the moving truck.
Down went all our stuff -- I mean ALL our stuff.
Many of it went into the moving truck and much of it went to some locals we had contacted, like the man in the picture on the right.  I gave him all the clothes I had thrown out, about 70% of my entire wardrobe. 
The only thing left in our house right now is a vacuum cleaner and toilet paper. 
Pacquiao and Balboa will be living here for the next day or two, until we set up Hulk's for them.
We brought Pyen Chi to the club.  She had a sweet little reunion with her much loved man friend -- WOW.
Pyen Chi also helped us test out this smarty-pants Snickers created -- a metal fence with a gate. 
A very HUGE thank you to a special Hulkie who knew I was moving today and took it upon himself to buy me a much-needed cappuccino with an extra shot.  And a huge thank you to many others who dropped by with house-warming gifts and to those who randomly threw me a BREAD PARTY!!!

Renovation makeover of the day -- our old office/new bedroom.
I snapped this picture today right before I started to work on our new bedroom.
And here it is right before we went to bed, well before I went to bed.
It's not entirely finished, still a work in progress.  We still have to cover the glass wall behind me, where most but not all of it is covered by the massive clothes cabinet we installed. but I absolutely love, love, LOVE it.
I love it soooooooooooooooo much more than my apartment bedroom.  It's super cozy!!!
