1. I lovin' it... Guy Smiley at the GS store and I have been slowly establishing a morning conversation routine. He tests out his English and I try out my Korean.
2. Early morning tutoring class with Hanna turned into a cuddlefest yet again.
3. Am convinced that Daniel from the kinder Peace class will one day be Korea's #1 boyfriend. Ever since I've made him my "Korean husband", he's been such a good student for me. Today the best was when he offered me his chair, whipped it clean and then tucked it under me!
4. Found out that tomorrow's kinder field trip is the milk factory! Anyone that knows me knows how obsessed I am with milk. My mom's convinced that I need my own private cow. I'm all about the banana milk!
5. ACHIEVEMENT TEST DAY!!! I love test day and yes, I realize that that's sick but it feels so good to be on the giving end finally!
7. Practiced my Korean on my elementary Peace class students while some finished up their test papers. Got called pretty by James and boy was he beat red when he realized I understood what he had said. I love it how they all laugh when I speak Korean, that's really good for my confidence! ㅋㅋㅋ!
7. After keeping Daewoo in captivity for way too long, finally took him outside for a walk. Always surprised at how consistent and persistent he is with insisting on eating everything that comes along his path.
8. Went underwear shopping and struggled with the sizes. As a joke I pretended to start to try them over my pants. The sales lady didn't really share in my humor though.
9. After being called evil all day from my twisted love of tests, spent time making and gathering stuff for a get-well gift for Ryan. See, I'm not that mean after all.
10. Told myself I'd go to bed early tonight but going to be early in the morning wasn't exactly what I had planned. Stayed up chatting till about 4 am. Just couldn't fall asleep!!!
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Where do you see yourself in a year from now?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
-- Herbert Hoover
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.
