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.

Location Hunting and Hating Theses Heels

Despite already having my heart set on a location, today I headed out to see some more.
This place was pretty awesome.  The parking alone was fantastic but the building came with too many complications in terms of how the owner is splitting it up and trying to rent it out.
After seeing three possible spots, I decided to walk in the direction of my home, to see the area.
Ran into some spots that definitely fed the outsider's view of what they think the Philippines is.
The Philippines is nothing like what most people think it is, those who have never visited that is.
Here is the Philippines that's not really advertised, the bigger part of the country that is gorgeous and overly populated with lots of trees and plants.
In the evening I headed out for a Louis Vuitton private party so I had to get all dolled up for that.
I got dolled up, sure, but I wasn't exactly comfortable.  I'm an athlete before I'm a lady.
