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.

From Toronto to Whitby to Toronto... Wednesday, October 21

I noted on my Facebook the following for my status update:
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMEMT: There will be NO Ice Cream Wednesday for me this week on account of my photo shoot on Sunday ...and no extra carbs either but definitely extra training (if that's possible).
I'm trying to do no carbs in the evening on account I want to tighten up for this Sunday's photo shoot but I can't help but feel so carb-deprived in the evening.  Bread is my kryptonite, seriously, and I find myself struggling to limit myself to one whole wheat tortilla a day but those whole wheat mini pitas make it oh so tempting to cheat and just sneak one.  Damn you Canada and your grocery store goodness and overdose of selection!  I've got every kind of bread under the sun at my finger tips -- the struggle is real.

So Sunday is my "big photo shoot" but today I got approached about doing another.  A trainer at System knows a photographer looking to shoot an athletic female and viola, he mentioned me.  Sweet.

No Ice Cream Wednesday today but it was a very good day.  A very, very good day...
  • Woke up early enough to enjoy coffee and breakfast at home before training.
  • Didn't take too many shots to the head at boxing, always a bonus when this happens.
  • Was treated out by Coach Brown to a post boxing meal -- steak and eggs.
  • Was given the reins for a fundraising event at my boxing club coming up in November.
  • Got asked to do another photo shoot but this one being boxing-specific.
  • My hair dresser guro friend did my hair and made it look beyond freakin' fabulous!
  • Hugs from my Papa Bere in Whitby.
  • Got to finally see my Polish Princess -- she's been so busy lately.
  • Killed it on legs today at weight training.
  • Got warned by Diamond Eyes that he's going to train/kill me on legs on Saturday.
  • Ran into a long time no see friend from my public school days.
