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... Tuesday, January 17

1. Didn't show up for tutoring and got told at the end of the day to not be late again. It's ironice how when the good kid does ONE thing bad, it's remembered. Now when the bad kid does ONE thing good, it's remembered for that one thing too. I'm not the bad kid here.... lest we forget!!!
2. Got spazzed on by Spazzy-K who claimed she couldn't do work in class cause I had one of the workbooks. First of all, you're the photocopying-manic! Secondly, life is an orange... figure it out and solve your own problems. And lastly... how did that book get on my desk anyways, hmmmm.
3. Sat back as all the commotion went on, switched on my phone and things were instantly brought into perspective.... 43 days to go!
4. The internet was so slow at school today and yet it was still not as slow as "some people".
5. Almost forgot that my elementary Glory class had a scheduled spelling test. How could I forget that?! I love tests!
6. Caught myself singing out loud in the staff room as Prince blasted on my earphones... "You don't have to talk too flirty, I know how to undress myself"... ya, maybe I should be careful on that one!
7. Noticed that Mr. Slow-Talker has been coming in more frequently and so who's responsible for that? I want to get down to the bottom of this!
8. Got lots of good words of wisdom from Dave. I'm "Mini-D" in the making it seems, good stuff.
9. Ran into a friend at the gym and then was introduced to some of her gym girl friends.... all 7 of them.... all 7 naked older women. Made sure I preoccupied my hands so I didn't have to shake hands or anything. As a result, I got away with avoiding contact but then got a naked hug from my friend.
10. Spent a good part of my evening trying to educate myself with computer technology and the internet (hence the funky new fonts and graphics on my blog).

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's the best advice you ever got?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
It's always been and always will be the same in the world: The horse does the work and the coachman is tipped.
