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.

What An EPIC Day

We looked like we were twinning with our black suit jackets on and white tops but, in all fairness,
he was way prettier than me... he always is.

Me totally fanning-out as I am about to meet Pacquiao and yes, that's my hand there.
Holy freak-out moments galore today... so funny.  Even I find myself laughing at myself here.
Standing with the champ here, Manny Pacquiao.  Mr. Senator Pacquiao.
I never did tell him one of my dogs is named after him, that'd be too weird of a conversation.

I don't know if he'll ever wear my Empowered Cap, I got them specially custom made for him,
but it was such an honor to even be allowed to present them to him.

And look at who else I got to meet.  None other than Jinkee, Pac's beautiful wife.
And look at what I got, a Bible with Pac's symbol on the front.
He has officially made holding a Bible super badass cool.
After an overdose of Pac in the morning what better than to ride the high and take
all that positive energy to the gym.  So that's exactly what I did.
I then had to quickly update my homepage, just in case any of the many people I gave my business card out to checked out my website... or... say if Manny checked it out.  Fair fetched hope, I know, but hey, I never ever imagined living in the Philippines and meeting Pacquiao.  Stranger things have happened, right?!  Right.
