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.

Staying Focused and Staying Sweaty

Kicking my week off with a hearty, healthy breakfast from Yummy Diet.
Today they surprised me with a little gift tucked away in my daily package of food -- body wash.
I don't know if this a sweet gift or a hint that perhaps I need to shower more... hahaha.
The Philippines is a pretty religious country and it's nice because on route to boxing 
I get a dose of daily scriptures via those printed on the bridge poles.  
That first one, 2 Corinthians 5:7, that's inked on the back of my neck actually.

Exhausted but still going.   I was quite surprised to see just how legit the weight training 
area of Insider's Boxing Gym is.  They have a loaded area, I love it!
On route home from boxing I caught a kid's basketball tournament that was being held.
There's always something going on in this part of my walk and I quite like it.
Trying to get some work done after boxing, at a local cafe, turned out to be quite distracting because of not only all the people who wanted to pet Balboa but all the adorable pups I wanted to pet.
