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...Sunday November 27

1. Countdown is on till Daewoo finds a new adopted parent. Mixed feelings on this one.
2. Started to seriously search out my other options for next year... hmm, Professor Amy sounds nice!
3. Experienced first hand what it must feel like to be a black girl dating a white guy in Whitby.... terrible feeling! It's funny how things look different now.
4. Ryan and I ventured out to EMart to buy groceries for our Canadian-style breakfast we had been contemplating all morning. Turns out that our taxi ride out and grocery shopping cost us more than our trip out to the Canadian restaurant in Seoul.... go figure!
5. Had a wicked home cooked, Canadian style meal.... French toast, bacon and eggs. As Ryan would say, it was "most delicious!" ㅋㅋㅋ!
6. Ran into the "Brown Boy idiot" while walking downtown with Ryan. We both locked eyes and then turned back to exchange glances. Mind you, my glance was more like a "touch me and die punk"!
7. I think I'm turning Korean... ate spicy hot noodles tonight for supper and was disappointed that they weren't really spicy, apparently they were though.
8. Realized that I'm actually nervous to go back and visit Canada.
9. Admit that I must be super-human. Ryan's been sick for the past week and despite how much I've been around him, I seem to be super immune to his bad cold! I'm Super Woman!
10. You know you're a text-message ho when you put $10 on your cell and it lasts only 2 weeks even though you don't phone anyone (it's all text messages)! ㅋㅋㅋ!

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's your secret to staying healthy?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you.
