1. Regardless of the fact that I’ve been at school since 8:30am, I went home to grab some Vicks and upon returning AND running into all the kinder teachers in the elevator, they DITCHED me. I went to grab my camera, returned and the two buses were gone. Am convinced this was done to prove a point… not too sure what that point is.
2. Took the kinder kids to the police station for their field trip and it was a pretty sad field trip cause not only did we see very little of the station but we also came back at 11am. It meant I then had to teach kinder lessons.
3. My spontaneous kinder lesson for Dream class consisted of them trying to explain the Korean alphabet to me and teaching me how to write various words. Don’t get me wrong, we did other work too.
4. Ha, ha, ha…. Mr. Policeman… you think I’m pretty. So funny. I think that was the first time I’ve seen a Korean blush.
5. Tasha put a temporary Australian flag rub-on tattoo on my face for Australia Day and great, today of all days one of my student’s parents comes to meet me and there I stood with this thing on my face! I tried to cover it with my hand but was busted when I had to use two hands to accept her gift. Now the parent thinks I’m a freak and my elementary Glory class is convinced I honestly tattooed an Australian flag on my nose.
6. Won the award for the best comeback… “We’re in Korea, things are automatically smaller.” Patty… you loved it!
7. Looks like Tasha is going to be my Lunar New Year’s Eve date… we’ve got no celebration plans but I’m hoping there will be no midnight kiss or I’m decking her one! Ha, ha, ha.
8. Was definitely impressed when I found out Mr. Lee never got my transcripts back from the Korean immigration office. That’s great! … can you sense my sarcasm?
9. Still getting those annoying “x number of days till your wedding” emails. Apparently it’s 123 days till my wedding… oh my goodness, what the heck am I doing sitting here. I better get a move on finding a husband…. jokes. Reality check…. life is so different now. Regardless of whatever drama, life is so great and the fact that I’m sharing it with an amazing and beautiful person (MacGyver) makes it that much more sweeter.
10. Stressful late night chats about work and plans…. and lack there of it.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
If you were your own boss, what would you do differently?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
We live by faith, not by sight.
-- 2 Corinthians 5:7
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.
