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.

Struggling to Let Them Go... Thursday, June 11

The inevitable has started to happen -- people have started to claim which puppy they want to take home when it comes time to do so.

Most people favor the all black pup who has grey eyebrows, while others favor the two light fur pups, and one person really likes the dark salt and pepper pup.  But the black pup is Baby #2, I saw him get delivered with no problem and after experiencing the struggle and shock that came with delivering the first pup, Baby #2's easy-breezy delivery was very exciting and a relief.  As for the light fur pups, one of them was the first pup to be born so I also have a bias towards him. I watched as Snickers' broke open the sack he was in and then I watched as Snickers' cut his embilical cord.  And the dark salt and pepper pup, that's Hulk Jr., the last pup born and the only pup born on our club's actual birthday.  

So far no one is interested in Ali, Baby #3 who almost died in my arms.  He is the smallest but, as I discovered today, he has the extra side claw on his back two legs that is a characteristic of the older breed of Tibetan Mastiff, very cool.  Pyen Chi has an extra side claw on her hind legs as do four of her pups.  Ali is one of these pups!

I fear the worst is going to happen because signs of it are starting... I fear not being able to give these pups up.  I should have known better than to start naming them, seriously, that was my first mistake!!!  I'm a sucker for four-legged cuties, yes I am.
