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.

Cottage Bound with Fabulous Friends

Off to cottage country today for some rest and relaxation.
Two of my good friends have an adorable, ultra cozy cottage 
and a boat house dock that I totally love. 
If I had it my way, I would have sat on that dock all day.
I love, love, LOVE the water.  It totally relaxes me and refreshes me.
My friends, MaG, the cottage owners.  They're as cool as their cottage and 
I've known them ever since university.
The Captain was there too.
He had brought the special little lady he's been seeing for the past month or so.
 
And she brought her little dog.
My dog Balbo is cooler than him... just saying.
Jumped on the boat and headed up river to the lake for some swimming with 
more friends also up in the area.  Good times.
I snapped this picture today, behind the boat house, on the dock.  I had gone there to sit when a friend joined me for a private talk.  It was both the happiest and saddest part of my day, more happy than sad but none the less it was sad too.

Sometimes happiness is harder to have than we imagine.  It's not a matter of just 
being happy.  Sometimes you have to fight to be happy.
