1. Woke up in Ryan’s apartment and was super hungry. Ate a bit of sponge cake for breakfast and had to laugh at just how stubborn I am. You think I’d learn from yesterday’s junk food fest and tummy ache!
2. Ventured outside Ryan’s downtown apartment and it was like a ghost town! In his area there was no one around but surprisingly enough 5 minutes down the road at Yawoori people were flocking the streets.
3. With Ryan in Seoul, my plans for the day were at an all time low and so I clean-up his place a bit and then treated myself to a morning bubble bath and it was great!
4. Ventured over to Tasha’s house and was greeted by SK (her rat….oh I mean dog) who now looks like a quaterback instead of the football. Despite his small size, I must admit that when he bit my toe I was nervous. A thousand mini teeth chomping into my toes just doesn’t sound too pleasant.
5. After waiting around for my laundry to finish, I discover that the machine hadn’t even added water to the load. So my clothes were simply shook for an hour. Tampered with the faucet knobs and five minutes later when I returned, the laundry room had flooded over and water was going down the front entrance of the apartment building…. OH NO!!!
6. Headed downtown with Tasha. We went out to supper at TGIF where we were greeted by the staff who were all curiously asking where Ryan was. Is it that obvious Ryan and I always come here?!
7. Went to Mbar and like always, funny chats with Je Min and his boys. Turns out they’re a bit intimidated of the fact that they’re all Ryan’s juniors and Je Min's curious as to if I'll marry Ryan. He asked me and my response was, "When am I going to marry him?... Well today I'm busy"... I don't think he liked me joking off his question.
8. One of the new faces that works there bowed to me and so I gave him 1,000 won. Tradition has it in Korea that that’s what they do on Sollal (Lunar New Year).
9. Tasha and my chat with the older DJ turned into him getting a bit frustrated and so he resorted to a kind of made-up sign language. In the end, it was clear what he was saying and what Tasha and what I got out of it was three totally different things!
10. Drama 101 with my brother Robbie and the new apple of his eye. Relax dude!
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Why is love such a simple emotion and yet so complicated to figure out?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Curiosity is a willing, a proud, an eager confession of ignorance.
-- S. Leonard Rubinstein
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.
