1. ALMOST 40 days and 40 nights left (41 to be exact)…. I’ve now entered the world of Jonah and the whale with my “patient” wait for Jaja’s number to be up!
2. This song drives me bananas… ha, ha, ha. Wisdom class is infatuated with Raffi’s Banana phone song and so they played it on repeat… ALL morning. That’s 80 minutes of banana phone!
3. Was made out to be the heartless fool when joking with Betty in my elementary Glory class about things I love. I told her I love five things: ice cream, tangerines, banana milk, Korea, and Ryan. When I asked her to list her five things all five were family members.
4. Figure I am learning more Korean in my elementary Glory class cause of Sophia than she is learning English. She insisted I read her report card to the class but wasn’t impressed with the part where I wrote she spoke way too much Korean.
5. Yes, I am a mean person. Sported the grin similar to that of the “Grinch that stole Christmas” when I heard someone refer to Spazzy-K as the “core of the disastrous disease that plagues the staff room”. That fact that this particular person said it just blew my mind!
6. I love it… “Amy teacher doesn’t do that… if Amy teacher was here she’d….” Ah, it’s always nice to hear I’m missed, especially when it’s a room full of my former elementary Peace class students. Alice and Clara informed me of all the cute and annoying references my students made to me. Sorry they give you a hard time sometimes…. I miss that class.
7. Excellent… found out that Tasha is staying in Korea till May and so I’m totally stoked about that.
8. Boxing was a big bust. Apparently cause Jenn is not already a member at the gym, my $10 boxing class costs her $40 a month! No thanks. We ended up leaving and I was totally bummed out. Was looking forward to kicking butt with Jenn and Elizabeth (SLP student…she’s 8).
9. Interesting conversation with one of my university buddies. Definitely re-thinking things over. It’s wild to think of just how much has changed for me in a year and how I’ve changed so much too. Mind boggling.
10. Congrats to my brother Bobby-B for his much anticipated homerun. I totally struck out tonight but it’s still one up for the B-Team. Sorry dude… I totally don’t have my game on tonight. Dang curve balls!
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Would Korea be so different if I wasn't here?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Is the glass half empty, half full, or twice as large as it needs to be?

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.
