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.

Shopping Tour of Cheonan... Saturday, May 31

I went shopping today, shopping for something other than food that is. I was supposed to buy a dress for tomorrow's Hulk's Boxing special dinner party but this is what I bought: 
  1. a pair of 3/4 length black pants 
  2. a white tank top 
  3. a tank top dress 
  4. a pencil case 
  5. black high heels 
  6. black leather sandals 
  7. seven grain bread 
  8. garlic 
  9. hot peppers 
  10. bananas 
I bought all this for just under $86 (shhhhh, don't tell Snickers!!!) but I must note that I pretty much trekked all over Cheonan to get the great deals I did, like $9 pants! I also must note that despite all that I had purchased that I hadn't bought a dress for tomorrow... oops. All these items I had spotted at specific places, all very-much separated places, but today with Snickers out of town and me really having nothing on my plate, I put my runners on and searched them out. Technically yes I did buy a dress but no a tank top dress is by no means an appropriate dress to wear to tomorrow's restaurant, La Cubo. 

I think my biggest score was with the black pair of 3/4 length pants and the high heels. I've found a super hole-in-the-wall kind of shop that sells surprisingly high quality pants, amongst with it's more ghetto-fitting clothes that is. They're the same material composition as a pair I bought in Canada over 12 years ago that I still wear. They have remained as shape-fitting and classy looking as ever. Today's pants are just like them but a little bit tighter and of course shorter, 3/4 length. They hug my body like no other pants has ever hand permission to and I am very much in love with them. As for the high heels, well, I through out all my heels with our recent move. My heels were so very used and abused; the glue holding them together glue holding the glue together, that's how used and abused they were. But the black high heels I purchased today, wow, they're flat out sexy. Definitely not my style now that I'm all "sporty-spice" and I much rather wear my runners than shoes that leave me walking on my toes and hoping not to fall but they're hot. Every gal needs a pair of heels that make her feel like her legs go on for miles -- shoes that make her feel lethal. I feel lethal in this killer heels.

...now if only I had a dress to match these shoes!!!
