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... Monday, February 27

1. Kindergarten graduation today for Peace and Glory kids. My Wisdom class was suppose to attend but of course, plans never go as planned with the Big Guy and that so that rather annoyed us teachers!
2. Talk about a success with Glory class. Thought I was going to have another Black Monday with having to teach them storytelling after lunch but I walked into the room and there were no kids. Turns out after graduation they all went home and so I had the period off. Great!
3. Snuck out and enjoyed the fresh air because I had no Glory class to teach. Felt like I was back in highschool skipping school…. just joking mom. I of course NEVER skipped school!
4. Talk about an unproductive teaching day. I spent my morning cleaning up my kinder room with my classes and in the afternoon I had two elementary class parties to attend.
5. Was totally shocked and touched when I walked into my Leo class and they had all made going-away cards for me! The common theme in EVERY card was banana milk and of course saying good-bye. They know I love banana milk and so as a parting gift they each gave me a banana milk. Cool!!!
6. Got called “monkey teacher” by John in my Leo class who claims I must be a monkey because he always sees me drinking banana milk.
7. My newest student in my Leo class, Anna, cried when the bell rung because we had to say good-bye.
8. There’s no greater feeling than the joy that comes with coming home to your own home… okay, maybe ice cream gives me this same joy but it felt sooooooooooo good to come back to my new pimpin’ pad. I love it here!
9. Stayed in for the evening and had a candlelit dinner with my favorite Korean, Ryan of course. I must comment here that the topic of discussion was rather interesting. Ryan you’re lucky I love ya because any other girl would have been turned off with your poo-poo talk. Ha, ha, ha.
10. Spent the whole evening dreading having to say good-bye to my kinder kids tomorrow!


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Do you really look at "it"?
