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 28

1. My usual, expected "Black Monday" turned into a really productive Monday with my storytelling class and the kinder Glory class.... this is a first.
2. It's official... Daewoo has been adopted. Tomorrow he'll go and meet his new adoptive mother, Ryan's coworker.
3. Kicked Bedro out of my afternoon Glory class. He refused to get up and so I had to struggle picking him up. He just wouldn't let go of my chair so out he went attached to it. What a tough kid.
4. Made James 1 blush in my afternoon Peace class. I was all dressed up for work today and I know the boys already tease him cause he thinks I'm pretty so today I had fun with it. He's such a sweet kid.
5. It's official.... The English Schoolhouse is closed for business. Interesting, it didn't even get a chance to open it's doors! So sad.
6. Gave Daewoo his last bath and boy was he not impressed.
7. So much for not seeing Ryan tonight... he showed up and took me out for supper. Thanks!
8. Shocked both the cell phone lady and the kimbob restaurant lady as I walked in with Ryan and announced to them that he was my boyfriend. They both gave him the once-over and then smiled. Seems like curious older women and their love for gossip is more universal than I though!
9. After only being out of the house for an hour or so, I came home to a floor littered with sofa padding. Daewoo had a field day on one of my couch cushions and so it looked like a bomb had gone off in the middle of the couch. I've got two words for you Daewoo, "Anger" "Management"... learn it, get it, do it!
10. Because Daewoo pulled a tantrum and puked on my bedspread, going to sleep tonight on the floor cause my bed has no sheets and at least the floor is heated. This is ghetto, thanks Daewoo; you're a super star!

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's your definition of "home"?

Yo Homegirl,
The school isn't opening on the account that a desposit of 70 million won is the going rate....crazy eh?! That's Korean crazy! There's other factors too but it basically comes down to money.
Brown boy idiot is this Pakistain punk that I keep on running into when I'm downtown nere Yawoori. Whenever he sees me he ALWAYS insists on saying annoying and rude remarks. If it wasn't for the fact that he's a pathetic dirty pig, I'd gladly give him a signature "Grizzly Bear upper cut"
Boy wouldn't know what hit him!!!
