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...Tuesday November 22

1. My good deed of the day was lecturing Guy Smiley at the GS 25 store about smoking. I'm sure he was really impressed with my early morning preaching.
2. Spent 40 mins working with Hanna on the alphabet... something we had taught her 9 months ago. Spent the rest of the morning totally confused as to how she's digressed so much. Not a good thing at all. I'm glad that after 9 months of coming late her mom has started to noticed its' effects on her academics.
3. Amused my elementary Glory class with my silly magnet and appearing hair clip trick. Then, went into the staff room and amused them with the same trick. I think I got the most amusement out of it all though. It's times like this that reassure me I'm definitely Polish! ㅋㅋㅋ!

4. Opps, forgot to mention in Sunday's blog entry that I tried "Dip and Dots". They're these tiny freezing cold coloured balls of air-dried ice cream. Ryan was lovin' it but I thought it was more like astronaut food. I much prefer the "old school" ice cream.
5. Promotional day at school for our kindergarten program and so my Wisdom class was super hyper with the additional 40-some random faces poking their head in our classroom door.
6. It's a miracle... Wisdom Hanna came to school with her diary homework done. Mind you, I should mention here that I'm pretty sure her mother did it, not Hanna.
7. Bought myself two extra days before I'll be drilled from Director Lee as to what my plans for next year consist of... Oh Gosh!
8. Spent the whole entire evening planning for next year and came up with the following conclusions.... I'm not going to be homeless after all and Daewoo will probably have to go. I'm not a good mother, friend or roommate to this little wild child and next year my life is going to that much busier.
9. Tried to convince myself that I won't miss Daewoo. I won't miss him wreaking my place, chewing on all my stuff (including my walls), jumping on my head while I sleep, his smelly #2s, his early morning barking but I'll miss his silly quirks, companionship, and our Sunday afternoon mountain walkes.
10. It's official... tonight was my FIRST night not seeing Ryan since we started dating.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
If you had one wish what would you use that wish on?
