1. The ultimate highlight of my day was definitely when Wisdom Joel peed on my pants... nice! He had asked to go to the bathroom but couldn't get his backpack off so I helped him. I then picked him up to run him into the boys' room but it was too late and unfortunately for me, I got the worse end of the situation!
2. Despite my pee soaked pant leg, courtesy of Joel, I didn't have enough time to go home and change so I taught my next class and had to endure another hour of it.
3. Got called "smelly teacher" by Betty in my Glory class who dropped her eraser and caught wind of my peed on pant leg. Great, now she probably thinks her teacher pees her pants!
4. Kids say the darnest thing. Had a good laugh while marking my elementary Leo class' notebooks. I particularly liked their answer to the question "what do you want to be [when you grow up]?" Pinky wanted to be a flower and Julia wanted to be a school. I'm not too sure on what kind of pay these future jobs offer! Sana wanted to be a kindergarten teacher. Maybe I shouldn't tell her any of the job hazards that come with that occupation, like getting peed on or knowing that I'm probably wearing every germ known to man kind because of these kids and their obsession with touching every nook and cranny of their bodies and then insisting on touching me!
5. Discovered that Betty in my Leo class has been persistent at trying to forge my signature. Maybe I should tell her that next time she tries to do it, don't do it in the notebook she hands in for homework!
6. Dave mentioned that he noticed the past few blog entries have been mainly about Ryan. So, for tonight, no mention of "him" will be made.
7. It's a miracle.... finally after almost a week, I've got heat and gas in my apartment again! Celebrated with cracking open a box of my stashed-away macaroni and cheese and for a special treat I even used banana milk in it! Went to have my first hot shower and my skin was super sensitive to the temperature change. I think I'm use to the below zero showers!
8. Ran into my good old "buddy"... "Bashing-boy B". Just as I was about to get into the opening elevator, there he stood. We immediately noticed each other and surprisingly exchanged smiles and hellos. Of course I never got into the elevator. Can't help but remember our run-in at MBar where I forewarned him to stay away from me. "If you see me walking on the street, cross the road and walk the other way" is what I remember telling after our MBar argument. That boy's got a lot of guts I tell ya!
9. Cutest thing... explaining an English t-shirt to the Crown Bakery guy who had no idea what it read. His shirt read, "Jesus loves even me".
10. Hmmmm...... what were my plans for the rest of my evening? Go train and then visit "him". See Dave, I'm able to not mention "his" name in a whole day's blog entry!

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Coffee is bad for your brain.
-- SLP elementary student
(... I thought that was drugs! Apparently I've got it all wrong!)
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.
