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.

Battling the Heat, Crowds and Lines at Immigration

In an attempt at avoiding the traffic, I left super early.
Mission fail.  Still spent two hours stuck in traffic. 
Finally arrived in Metro Manilla.
I was told it's the oldest part of the Philippines.
I had made the crazy long trek there because that's where Immigration is located.
The place was busting to the seams with people, both inside and out. 
I found some kind of refuge from the craziness of the crowd inside by grabbing a fresh mango juice and then later buying some lunch at a little shop on the same property of Immigration.  Turns out I wasn't the only one seeking refuge there.  Check out the second pic, the cat under the table.
