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.

Never a Dull Day Here

Trying to simply enjoy my breakfast with my beautiful boy Balboa at the local Sunday market.
 However, what went down was nothing simple when a girl put down a bag at the next table.

 On a totally different note, I'm thinking about changing my hair.  My hair cut already makes me stand out here but the response I get from onlookers is positive.  I'm different here but different here sparks curiosity.  In Korea different was wrong and it sparked dirty looks.  The Philippines surely isn't Korea and God bless it for that.  Having said that, I feel more free to get adventurous and really ramp up my looks.
Today is my Rest Day, my one day off ANY and ALL training so while you see this picture and see the beauty in it, I see three reasons why Rest Day is so stressful...
1. My condo pool... I want to do laps!!!
2. My condo gym... I want to weight train!!!
3. My boxing gym (the building behind)... I want to box!!!

No training for me today, boo to Rest Day, so I stared at the pool, sat by the fitness gym, messaged my boxing friends, thought about training all day, and signed up with a local running club... frustrations 101.

...the struggle to NOT train was real!
