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.

Trying to NOT Make a Big Deal of Today... Friday, February 17

I lived in Korea for 11 years and every year when February 16th rolls around I am remembered that that's the day so long ago I first stepped on the plane and headed to Korea.  I left Canada on the 16th and landed on the 17th.

I'm definitely not the girl I once was so long ago, that bright-eyed, nieve young girl. 

Unlike years prior, I never acknowledged yesterday's importance or today's, well, minus the minor blurb here.  I mentioned it today in passing to someone and that was about it.  I want to stop acknowledging days like today.  It's a part of my old story.  I'm in a whole other story of my life, not a new chapter, a new story.
