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... Saturday, February 25

1. Woke up in the middle of the night and decided I’d try to figure out how to replace the silly toilet seat my curling iron had decided to burn a whole through.
2. Woke up at 9am to some man pounding on my door. Turns out it was the moving truck man and he was exactly an hour early. I suppose he’s just as eager to get me moving as I am. Great!
3. Big thanks to Mr. Moving Truck Man for loading up ALL the stuff when all he was being paid for was driving. He offered to do it because he was so early and it meant I packed up and left my place in army-style.
4. Much thanks to Darren too for all his help when we all know he had company waiting for him. So sweet.
5. Discovered dead red roses hanging upside down in my new apartment and had a mini panic attack…. I hate red roses because of what they mean to me!
6. If a home is a reflection of a person than I think it’s fair to say that either this former tenant was either too poor to buy cleaning supplies or was the sloppiest middle aged woman! I’m talking numerous greasy handprints on the cabinets, dust everywhere, hair everywhere, and the fact that there was dried up vomit on the toilet seat said a lot too. Nasty woman!
7. I killed it, I didn’t mean to but I threw it up in the air, it came crashing down and then it snapped it’s neck and then it’s head popped off. I’m sorry Ryan, I thought your fan could fly.
8. No sooner did I move into the pimpin’ pad than the internet dude showed up. Cool.
9. Ventured around in the apartment building and found a super cool open patio on the 14th floor that’s like two floors high and looks out onto downtown! Looks like I’ll be doing a lot of chilling here, oh ya baby!
10. First night in the new pimpin’ pad and it feels so great to be living it up in Korea! I’ve got the beautiful pad, the beautiful boyfriend, the beautiful new job… Life is definitely beautiful here in Korea!


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Is that how you honestly think?
