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... Wednesday, January 18

1. Success with Hanna and tutoring today… she’s now mastered the first part of the alphabet.
2. Looks like I’m not alone on this one anymore… witnessed Patty get the “wrap-around” by Leo class Eric. Don’t think he grabbed all her 2000 body parts though and so she got away lucky.
3. Had storytelling with Peace class today and totally amazed how Kipper rapped out “Down by the Bay” by Raffi. Looks like things are looking up for this mini Korean… got word that now Sunny in Glory class is his girlfriend. Good stuff buddy.
4. Test day in my elementary Leo class… I love test day. They laughed at how easy they THOUGHT my spelling test was until I turned into the test Nazi and added different components to the test. What was originally a 5 minute spelling bee turned into a 20 minute full-fledge test.
5. Am convinced Pinky in my elementary Leo class is the most needy student, besides Gina’s constant need to come into the teacher’s room that is. After explaining over and over the instructions to the activity she came and asked me what to do. I told her, “life is an orange… you don’t know what that means? It means you have to solve your questions… that’s life.” Her response was turning around and asking Julie for help. Ironically Pinky is the only one that gets her work done correctly.
6. Getting really sick and tired of having to explain how to read a homework sheet to Adrian in my E2-1 class. Adrian, you’re cute but you can only play your “cute card” so many times!
7. Admitted my new found obsession… hacking away on the computer and exploring things for my blog. Dave showed me how to hack at other people’s website codes… hook, line, sinker! Oh no… I’m turning into a computer freak!
8. Despite Monday’s run-in with Mr. Pervert, I walked through the dark park on route to Ryan’s house because I could, should and did. Ironically two girls walking behind me were uneasy with this other dude and so they caught up with me and walked closely behind.
9. Caught Ryan listening to “Banana phone” by Raffi… he denied it. His humour is so incrediably attractive.
10. Text messages “I love you” from Jin Suck…. hmmmm, thanks?! Got reassured that it’s okay and that it’s not more than just a friendly note. Thank goodness… she showered with me at the gym. I was beginning to think I had to watch out.
