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.

Highlights of My Day...Monday November 14

1. Still no heat or gas in my apartment. This is pure ghetto!
2. Walked into school later than usual and all the helper teachers freaked out when they saw me walk in with Louis. Relax ladies.... you only with we had juicy gossip. Louis ain't my style and I'm not available anymore.
3. Jenny teacher returned back to work after her car accident last week. Good to see she's alright cause she's my "partner in crime" with our elementary Glory class.
4. Still not too sure on how to take "you've got a small face"...is it a compliment or does it imply I have a shruken head. Had one of my students' mothers say it to me today and after hearing it all weekend, I'm still unsure about it.
5. Another Black Monday with the kindergarten Glory class. Spent the first ten minutes lecturing Jess that his name is Jess and so he's to respond when I call it. How Jinny hasn't reached insanity with these "interesting" class is beyond me!
6. Have made an art out of cold showering.... in Toronto I had a maid, large bathtub, a big apartment and plenty of hot water. In Korea, I'm washing myself in below zero water, sitting on a chewed up couch, and eating raw noodles cause I can't even start up my stove. Even the soldiers in the army get warm water. It's like doing the polar dip EVERY day!
7. Talk about being a workaholic... worked on my school stuff till about 11pm after already putting in a 9 hour work day at SLP that started at 9 am.
8. I admit it, I'm hooked on Vanilla Ice's song "Hooked"... ㅋㅋㅋ!
9. Still haven't returned my videos that are way overdue.... opps!!!
10. Thought I felt my brain going numb by the chilly temperature in my apartment and so I ran off and left Daewoo behind. De-thawed myself at Ryan's pad.


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's your worse personality trait?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
