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 31

1. Hanna came to school all sad and teary-eyed. When I asked her what was wrong I couldn’t help but giggle when she told me her mom got mad at her because she was sitting on the toilet for too long. During second period I had to go get her from the bathroom cause she was having “issues” on the can…. nasty.
2. Definitely thought it’d be an ackward morning at school given the terms I left on Friday and the fact that Mr. Lee and I open the school together. Surprisingly though, it wasn’t and I’m a bit confused about it all.
3. I take it that either A. The Big Guy has ignored my Friday’s remarks (common pattern he’s been displaying) or B. The Big Guy doesn’t care about Friday’s remarks… both bother me.
4. Found it incrediably weird that the Big Guy ask me to phone the States to talk to a prospective
5. Pulled a Spazzy-K move and left work early… went to another work… ahhh, that’s a double Spazzy-K in one shot!!! (Almost but I didn’t actually work at the other place).
6. Checked out an “opportunity” that knocked on my door but decided that some doors are best kept closed. No thanks.
7. Ran into this strange Mr. Stumpy Korean man while walking. He inquired about my profession and then continued on to more confusing and personal questions. At one point I think he honestly asked me if he could go to my home with me. “Di jin da byung shin?!!!”
8. Treated myself to an evening at Leechard Pro Hair Salon where I was pampered, massaged, chatted to, goggled over, trimmed, dyed, and dolled up by a total of 6 workers. They’ve got this whole tag-team thing and were so cute. I especially thought it cute when the main salon artist put her own lip gloss on me. That salon rocks!!!
9. No visits from Ryan on account of rain.
10. Voted the “Whites” in my building the most annoying neighbors. In addition to their late night hallway giggles and chasing each other in and out of the two apartments, they also seem to be deaf and thus talk SO loud, laugh SO loud, close doors SO loud, and even make "other" noises SO loud.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What is the point of working so hard if all it leads to is more work?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Justifying a fault doubles it.
