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... Sunday, February 26

1. Go, go Inspector Gadget… tried to figure out the funky touch pad code lock on my door but that was a no go. Even Ryan couldn’t understand the instructions and he’s Korean…. or is he?! Turns out it talks to us though and tells us that we just locked the door, that’s nice.
2. Seems like I’ve forgotten a few things about drying clothes cause it’s been so long. Dried Ryan’s sweatshirt and now it fits me perfectly!
3. Think I just got third degree burns from the washer/drier… boy does that baby really cook the clothes!
4. And just when I thought Ryan’s yellow shorts were ugly enough… he washed them with dark clothing and now they’re grayish-yellow. I suppose he’s learned his lesson about sorting the darks from the colors. I’d hate to say it but, it serves him right cause I warned him.
5. Scored on the furniture hunt today with Ryan. Cruised down furniture lane here in Cheonan and picked out a shelf unit, night table and television stand…. sweet!
6. Got pulled over by the police while we were driving around. I thought it was cause I wasn’t wearing a helmet or because of side-walk driving. Turns out it’s because some local has been doing mischievous things while on his bike. Hmmmmm.
7. Stocked up on groceries after going grocery shopping on an empty stomach. Ryan’s little scooter definitely took on a lot by having to take him, me, 6 large jugs of water, and the rest of the groceries home! It’s a tough little scooter!
8. Score!!!! The bathtub does fit through the bathroom door and so now the bathroom door doesn’t need to be taken off. Talk about sexy fossil doors!

9. Can't say I don't look after my boyfriend. Today I gave him a mini pedicure but I don't think he really enjoyed it.
10. Discovered IKEA Korea… amazing!


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
I noticed that a lot of people here in Korea are reading my postings... can you identify yourself?
