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.

My Heart is Here but Partly still in Korea

Today I was interviewed by TV5 regarding the much anticipated upcoming Mayweather vs McGregor fight so they sent a crew to my boxing club to meet up with me and film the interview.
Everyone has an opinion on the fight, of course, so we got my coach in on the interview too. 
Thanks to TV5 for the interview.  
It was a great experience and I'm looking forward to seeing the final product.
I was on such a high from today's interview and killing it at training... and then this happened.
Snickers sent me a text message on KakaoTalk and then sent pictures of my dogs, starting with Pacquiao.

I miss my beautiful boy Pac so very much but I know it'd be cruel to bring him to the Philippines and subject him to condo life.  What hurts me the most though is knowing he's not getting the kisses, hugs and attention that I use to give him.  I wonder when was the last time anyone ever kissed him.
...and then a picture of Pyen Chi with this new guy, Hulk.
Hulk Jr, Pac and Pyen's baby, no longer lives at the boxing club and has since been given a new home.  Hulk has joined the four-legged crew though.  He's a Russian dog--  a Caucasian Ovcharka with chopped ears that's expected to grow to be potentially 200lbs.

Didn't you say your dogs were living alone on the roof? How is that in any way better than living in a condo?
