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 29

1. Last day with Daewoo.
2. Guy Smiley was extra smiley today at the GS store and I couldn't figure out why. He had my milk ready in a bag for me and turns out he had paid for it too. Sweet!
3. Got complaints from Wisdom class Hanna's mom for not writing anything about her private tutoring in her communication diary for the past week. Complaints?! Here's a complaint.... why has it taken you 9 months to take interest in her education?! I'm doing WAY more than my part. I didn't even think you knew she had a communication diary.
4. Feeling the love from Daniel, my "kinder-husband". Wrote a cute love note for him cause he was feeling sad in the morning. By lunchtime I had so many kinder kids gossiping about this supposedly "juicy love letter". Kids, they say the darnest things!
5. Spent a good portion of my afternoon preparing my Dream class Christmas musical script cd. Jules helped me out but I still got stuck acting out 7 of the 10 characters. I even had to sing all the songs... hoping no one recognizes the singer in the cd! ㅋㅋㅋ!
6. Totally impressed with Cookie's cooking (school cook). She went from opening cereal boxes for snacktime to cooking ful-out meals. Today's snack was kimchi rice.... lovin' it!
7. Interesting,...how come Mr Friendly (local restaurant owner) goes totally out of his way to say hi to me every day and yet when I'm with Ryan (last night), he turns his back on me, literally.
8. Gave Daewoo a quick hair cut before I took him to meet his new adoptive mother, Ryan's coworker.
9. Tried desperately to play the "innocent crying girl" to the taxi drivers who refused to let me into their cabs with Daewoo. My hero was played by Ryan who convinced his coworker to come pick up Daewoo.
10. Handed Daewoo over to his new mom and cried a bit as I watched her struggle with him. When I walked away he started to bark and tried to run to me. He put up a big fuss, refused to walk. and cried so much. Thankfully I ran into a friend, Sean, and so I quickly had to force myself to compose myself.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What exactly is the "philosophy of the blog"?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...

the philosophy of the blog!!! HAHAHAHAHAH thats AWESOME! i love it!!!
the philosophy of it...for most people it is a way to express themselves and even be someone they are not...however when you are on the other side of the world and your family/friends get upset that you don't call them it is a means of them knowing what the crap is going on in your life! :-)
that is the philosophy of my blog! that and i prefer typing instead of handwriting what is going on in my life!!!
Love
