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.

Busy, Busy till the Birthday Party

My birthday wish list -- lots of crazy colourful, fun leggings... and of course tank tops too.
Spent part of my day looking for a possible location for the next phase of Empowered.
And in looking at various locations, I stumbled across this site in one of the buildings.
It's an abandoned swimming pool.  To tell you the truth, I was quite interested in it because in Toronto I was looking at possibly taking over an underground abandoned pool for my business there.
An unexpected birthday delivery arrived and was waiting for me after my location viewings.
It's the corn nuts from my friend's Mexican restaurant, Hacienda, here in BGC.  My favourite!!!
From sweating it out in the sun to getting all glammed up.
Tonight I headed out to celebrate my birthday with friends.
We went to Crying Tiger in Poblacion.  It's my absolute favourite restaurant here in the Philippines.
One of my friends from the boxing club had been super sweet in bringing me a present and some cake.  It wasn't just any piece of cake though.  I returned the sweetness and shared it with everyone.
My crew (minus one particular person who got stuck waiting for parking).
I should note that out of my crew of 11 for tonight's celebration, only two of them aren't fighters.
Can you guess who?!  I'll give you a hint, it's not us females but instead it's the two biggest dudes here!
