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.

It Must be a Guy Thing... Thursday, March 12

I'm convinced that based on solely the stupid things guys do, women are the stronger sex and the smarter sex.  I can't tell you the amount of "you-wouldn't-believe-what-I-saw" moments I've had with my K-guy pals and the ones I've had here at Hulk's with our male Hulkies.  I just don't see nearly as many females doing as many silly things as I have the guys do. Take today for example.  Snickers had this "great" idea to most randomly wrap a peanut in tinfoil and then shoot Kato square in the butt using a sling shot.  He vouched that he had wrapped it in tinfoil so that he could use it again.  "So you plan on shooting more people then?" I asked him.  Of course he wanted to shoot more people, to just try out this painful experiment would be silly and a waste of such effort.  

Kato was stretching in the ring when Snickers most unexpectedly shot him in the butt and while most everyone busted out in laughter, I tried to defend Kato.  Sure I thought it was funny but I also knew it was painful and thus mean.  I told him it was only fair he then allowed Kato to take a free shot at him, a revenge shot.  Kato tried but missed.  Then Sharkie volunteered to be a target.  "You're volunteering?!" I blurted out.  Leave it to a guy to volunteer for such a painful experience.  Sharkie stood up, walked to the middle of the training floor area and then waited for Snickers to shoot him right it the butt.  And that's exactly what Snickers did.  That peanut went whipping through the air and hit Sharkie's right butt cheek like it was nobody's business.  Everyone laughed.  Us gals looked at each other and shook our heads.  "You'd never catch one of us doing that!", one said.  "Exactly", I told her.  Boys will be boys.
