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.

Pulling My Trick... Thursday, April 30

When I was younger my youngest brother and I both found out pretty quickly how to weasel our way out of having to do certain chores.  I milked my weak arms and got out of having to do vacuuming because I wasn't strong enough to lug around the vacuum.  But them my parents installed central vacuuming into the house and then I was back on it, but only temporary.  That is until my brother Bobby-B found amusement in it and then "suddenly; started dropping things while on dust-duty.  The result, he got to vacuum and I had to dust. 

I feel Snickers pulled the same move today.  He weaselled out of having to do dishes and having to cook both in one smooth move -- he cooked a plate.  Yup, you read correctly.  Snickers put some smelly fish snack on a plate and zapped it in the microwave and boy did it snap, crackle and pop!!!  He completely fried the plate, to the point where slices of it flew off in the microwave and members sitting by the juice bar jumped. 

"This is why I don't cook", he said later on to me.  "No, this is why someone should have taught you how to cook", I added.

...and so the debate about his lack of cooking continues.  I refuse to let him pull a stunt like this, I created this method of getting out of chores like back when I knee high and sporting the days of the week printed on my underwear because I sucked at spelling and my mom thought it was fun.
