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.

Fighting the Heat and Temptations

First full week back at training after being sick in like a 
million years and I totally killed it at training.
Was treated out to a hair cut -- a shaving at the local barbershop.
There's one particular barber in Eastwood who I think is awesome at what he does and tonight I landed myself in his chair.  
I love going to the barbershop, seriously.  They always leave me with super clean lines
and I always score a sweet neck and shoulder massage in the process.
In attempt to keep my day going at full speed, I headed to Starbucks tonight to work on my business proposal.  I was already feeling mentally drained but then I got a whiff of temptation -- double chocolate cake.  
 I thought sitting myself across from who appeared to be quite the smartie pants would keep me focused but no such luck.  She ordered cheesecake.  Venting to my friend in Canada did nothing to help me either.  He sent me a picture of what he was eating -- cake!!!
 It seemed like everyone but me was indulging in cake.
I watched that couple pick at that cake for seriously a solid hour and then they left some of it there when they left Starbucks.  I was almost tempted to eat it... but then thankfully a worker came and took it away.
