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, January 15

1. Met this super cute little girl while waiting for a seat at TGIF. Her mom was trying to teach her how to say hi, in Korean. She walked up to me, bowed, and mumbled what I assume was her best attempt at say hi.
2. Lunch at TGIF. Ryan got a TGIF points card and so we’re officially “regulars” here now.
3. Noticed the girls beside us at Baskin Robins eating a whole tub of ice cream and thought it rather strange. Turns out WE were the strange ones. Here we were sharing a single scoop while everyone else was literally making a meal out of ice cream. That’s hardcore!
4. Turns out Ryan and I are philosophers. Our topic of debate today was human cloning. He was pro-cloning and I argued against it.
5. Ryan spat a huge gob of toothpaste in my hair… by accident!
6. Allowed Ryan to choose another movie despite his poor, poor selection last night. Thankfully he was much wiser with his selection this time.
7. Spent part of a good part of my evening feeling like my head was being crushed. Sat myself in the bathroom and slept leaning against the wash machine. I was in rough shape… have been all this week actually.

8. Experienced some traditional Korean herbal medicine and boy did it taste great (no, actually it was worse than buckleys!!!).
9. Forty-four days till “Jaja” is outta here! This calls for a celebration!
10. It’s been eighty-three days since Ryan first kissed me.


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's something unusual you count?
