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.

My Valentine's Day Date Box... Saturday, February 14

With it being Valentine's Day and Snickers off in Suwon to tend to a friend in need, I took the opportunity to leave the club and head downtown.  I've been saving up all my $1 bills since November so today I spent them on a gift for Snickers.  I had written up a little checklist of things I wanted to get and places where I thought best to get them.  My gift was a Date Box, a box that would have all the contents for a given date I had created in my mind and wanted to personally share with him.  The date would be on any given night of Snickers' choosing and it'd take place at Hulk's, with the coal heater being where we'd sit and enjoy the evening together.  It'd be a romantic, intimate date with candles lit on the juice bar and two larger candles on the little table by the coal heater.  I'd teach him how to make my version of the perfect coal-roasted s'more, make him a special cocktail for him to sip on and we'd share lots of flirtatious giggles as we did the couple's quiz and couple's interview question sheet I found online.   
The contents of my Date Box:
...for my version of the perfect coal-roasted 5 star s'more:
  • 1 bag of assorted, hand-picked chocolates
  • 2 boxes of chocolate truffles
  • 2 bags of marsh mellows
  • 1 bag of strawberry-filled marsh mellows
  • 1 container of cookies
...to accompany my version of the perfect coal-roasted 5 star s'more: 
  • 1 bottle of Kahlua
  • 1 bottle of vodka
  • 2 Starbucks bottled coffees
  • 2 Cognac glasses
...for the entertainment part of the date:
  • 1 couple's quiz
  • 1 couple's interview
  • 2 candles
...for the continuation of the date after the actual date:
  • 1 picture frame
  • 1 dry erase pen
  • 1 pair of boxer briefs
