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.

Lazy Day Saturday and I Love It... Saturday, May 3

Saturdays are always lazy days for Snickers and I, and today was no exception.  By lazy, I mean we usually don't get out of bed till the afternoon, don't comb our hair or shower till about evening, and don't actually leave our house till mid evening.  

... and today was no exception.

I managed to convince myself to get out of the house and grab some hair dye in the late afternoon.  I camouflaged my massive bedhead hair and pillow lines still on my face with an over sized hooded sweater and a baseball cap.  But once I arrived home, it was back to leggings, a tank top and free-flowing, crazy-moving bedhead hair.  

Today was an exceptionally lazy day... and I loved it.

Later in the evening we had a business meeting and then we went out for dinner with WOW President, so it wasn't totally an all no work and no play kind of lazy day.  We did get down to business around 8pm and then we returned home around 11pm.

I spend my entire week feeling like I have just enough time in between training and clocking out at Hulk's to catch a breath and shower before I have to do it all over again.  Our flyers have been circulating around Cheonan so people call at all hours of the day, and night too for that matter.  Sponsors continually check in with us, members repetively ask us to visit their businesses or let them treat us to dinner, but with us working 2pm to midnight it means we either spend our morning playing catch up and running errands or leaving it till after work.  Last week the earliest we closed Hulk's was 12:13am, the latest was 1:05am, so the work days have been long but the extra work and additional errands have made it expecptionally all that much longer.  I can't say I am complaining though nor can I really complain -- I do what I love and I love what I do.  Having said this though, often our days blend into each other and we don't even realize it's already Friday.  Time is just going by so fast -- too fast -- but we definitely don't feel bad for our lazy Saturdays.  They are a much needed break from the non-stop life of boxing we live.
