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.

Some Encouragement Before I Touch Down in K-Country

In addition to the chocolates I scored at the Toronto airport, I recieved another sweet gift at the airport in Hong Kong, two gifts actually.  I recieved a necklace full of happiness and a fighting fist of encouragement by non other than Canada's former heavy weight champ, George Chuvalo.
Then it was time for me to leave Hong Kong and board my last flight, destination Kimchi country -- Korea. 
This must be what Heaven is like, so peaceful and so disconnected from the stress and worries of reality... hopefully they have better playlists though.  God better have some happy music! 
Walked out of the airport gates and was instantly surprised by the arrival of these two dudes -- Snickers and my main sponsor, Wow.
 And no sooner did I jump off the plane and leave the airport but then it was off to Seoul to check out some new equipement and get Snickers some new boxing boots.
Finally arrived back at the club, no comment there about the mess and whatnot, but it was so good to see my four-legged babies again.  I bombarded them all with an overdose of kisses and hugs and my boy Pac got so excited he peed a bit on me.  I was so happy to see that Baby Ali is so much bigger and so much healthier looking now.
Attack of the super duper, oozing with cuteness four-legged babies!!!
