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 Gym Nasty Happy to Balboa Happy

Getting in the rounds and pushing myself at boxing.
At my own boxing club in Korea I used to call sweat "gym nasty" and when you got all sweaty like such you'd say you're "gym nasty happy".  Today I was definitely gym nasty happy.
After a hard workout at boxing I really don't have any more energy to fight so being offered Nutella sticks and espresso by a particular someone... oh gosh.  I had just enough energy to resist the temptation to eat them all.  Ate maybe one or two... or a few.
And speaking of a lack of energy to fight off temptation, I come home and just let Balboa jump all over me with his hyperness and waging tail.  Coming home to Balboa after a rough workout is so rejuvinating.  I walk in all beaten up feeling and he treats me like I'm Christmas walking in.  Now if only I could get a two-legged man that reacts to me like Balboa does.  That is the ultimate relationship goal right, a man that thinks I'm the next best thing since sliced bread.

Forget relationship goals.  I've got Balboa and we've got a pretty fun friendship.
