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.

There IS One More Thing... Sunday, May 18

I was wrong. I was wrong in the above statement, the one below my bottom picture.

There may not be a need for anything more but there is surely a WANT for more and that more is a goat.  Laugh as you may, and trust me you're not the only one who has laughed at me over it, but I love goats.  And I've always told my friends that I would love to get a pet goat. Snickers thought if funny enough to mock me with his goat-making noises but the truth of the matter is goats are awesome.  

Did you know that goats are actually the discoverers of the coffee bean?!  Yup, you can thank your local goat for your morning cup of coffee.

Goats are very trainable because they're very intelligent and they live 15 to 18 years of age with some goats living a solid 24 years.  The fact that they basically outlive most dogs and cats surely interests me because I would absolutely love to grow old and gray with my pets, well as long as it's possible that is.

I want a goat.  I've wanted a goat for some time.  I kind of had a goat for a while, a little goat at Granny Kim's but then he got served on the dinner table.

Guess who's got a goat.  Guess who's not laughing at my want for a pet goat anymore. Not me, that's who but someone did get a goat today.

... Mouse Doctor.

Mouse Doctor bought a goat.  I don't yet know the details on how this all came about but the fact he has one surely out beats any and all stories about today I had to share.  I can't believe he has a goat.  I joked with Snickers and said that all that was needed now was for someone at my club to beat me to getting those Adipower boxing boots and becoming the next champion boxer and then I'll have to come up with something new.  I don't want to settle for anything less than I want but I surely don't want to be the second person to get what it is I want.

Perhaps I should have said something ridiculous, like I wanted a pet pig.  I could have said I wanted a pet skunk but that was always my brother Bobby-B's "dream pet".  Nah, forget the pig, he can jump on my dinner plate.  I still want a goat.
