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.

Pacific Islander Food

As many know, I'll be moving to the Philippines for a few months in a bit.
As many also know, food is the way to my heart, so what better way to get a feel for the Philippines that to indulge in some of it's delish food?!  Exactly!!!  
There's a Filipino restaurant down the street from me and 
today was the first time I've ever ventured into it.  
I didn't eat the rice, I swear I didn't... it's not keto... but I did definitely eat the meat!
And okay, so this isn't exactly keto but what's a dinner out without some dessert?! Exactly.
I can't remember the name of it but it's basically a deep fried banana.
Word on the street is that Mama No makes these but adds mango in with her bananas.
Note to self, fending off Mama No's cooking in the Philippines is going to require self discipline on a whole other level that I have yet experienced or are yet equipped with!!!
Speaking of equipping myself though, tonight I picked up some language study books.
I'm going to learn the language of the land, nice.
