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.

Lots of Reasons to Smile Today

I was still in bed when suddenly I heard Snickers talking to someone so I put on whatever I was working in last night and stepped out of the bedroom.  Snickers was talking to this man, the marking and sale representative from Adidas Korea.  He gave me a big smile on the back and an extra big smile for being completely dressed from head to toe in only Adidas.
"Does anyone still train here?", I asked.  Our Hulkies are absolutely loving the newest addition to our boxing club but I must admit that this ping-pong table is distracting.  Members come early to play before training, stay long after training to play, and some don't even train at all but instead come just to play.
 I vouch that our female Hulkies train the hardest.  Because while the male Hulkies were all laundering around the ping-pong table, us girls were bustin' a sweat with a rough and tough crossfit class. 
Am back to trying to cook up new things and I've been more hit than miss with my recent creations.
The other day I served up numerous plates of my sweet carb potato slices, members liked those, but it was today's creation that really got our members talking.  
It's a casserole but not just any casserole.  
It's a highly rated casserole that's laced with oatmeal and is so spicy it'll burn a hole in your big girl panties.  Members are pushing me to put it on the juice bar menu but I don't know what price I'd charge for it and it takes way too long for me to be making every day.
 After a long day of training hard, playing hard and eating clean, it was nice to kick back and enjoy a late night cheat meal date with Snickers... and of course our four-legged friends too.  
Snickers says he doesn't know if they're my bodyguards or my gang... hahaha.
