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... Thursday, January 12

1. Ate cheese again for breakfast even after I dropped it on the floor! That stuff is like gold, you just don’t go throwing gold away… are you crazy?!
2. Hanna’s mom apparently is flustered with the lack of improvement in Hanna considering I’ve been tutoring before class. I’m sorry but she didn’t get lost in MY class so please don’t blame me for another person’s lack of attention to their students!
3. Voted Jack’s mom the most supportive kinder mom with her entry in Jack’s communication diary today. Not only did she go beyond what was expected and apologize for Jack’s behavior yesterday but she also called Kevin’s mom to apologize. She totally gave me her support and gratitude for being Jack’s teacher. I was right from the start when I called her “Super Mom”. I could almost kiss you… almost.
4. Got molested at school by the kinder kids… Eric did the “reach-around” and then I experienced Joel’s wondering hands in my top! Result… spent my morning on the lookout for Eric. Kicked Joel in the bum for his curious hands but he thought it was a game and so he tried it again. Every time I kicked him in the bum he’d laugh and try it again. Finally I took his sticker book and pretended to eat it. Some how he believed that I’d do it and so he stopped.
5. Taught Wisdom class the word “bra”.
6. Discovered that my Glory girls totally rock… turns out we all like the same Korean bands and so I made them a couple of cds. One English, one Korean.
7. Received a late Christmas presents from Jack’s mom… anti-wrinkle cream. I’m flattered but aren’t I too young to even introduced to that word!
8. How ironic… had to ask Jinni (Korean teacher) how to spell an English word and then got asked by Shannon (English teacher) for a Korean translation.
9. Always thought boys were simple creatures… turns out Korean ones are in a league all of there own.
10. Realized that cheese is the only thing I’ve been able to stomach since Tuesday and so for dinner…. cheese.


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's the dumbest thing you heard today?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If we had no faults of our own, we would not take so much pleasure in noticing those of others.
