1. Sitting in the staff knowing that this time yesterday I was expecting to be sitting at the middle school today discussing a contract really sucked!
2. I’m convinced that I’m more eager to have Hanna learn English than even her own mother. Like a fool, I went in early in hopes that she’d prove me wrong and show up. Turns out I’m definitely more eager cause her mother didn’t even so much call to tell me see wasn’t coming. Correction… she called, at 9:50am.
3. Terrible… while traveling along his route and picking up the students our much beloved bus driver #2 (my absolute favorite) hit an old woman at the crosswalks.
4. Played “Korean team vrs. English team” with Dream class, like I do every week. I’ve been teaching them some funny slogans that we’ve associated with the competition. The best of the slogans was “You’re going down” and “I’ll see you next week for a rematch, make it worth it!”
5. I (the Korean team) won this week with the phrase “Di jin da” (translation… you are going to die). It was a bad win, I know.
6. Played “telephone” with Steve and the Big Guy in regards to where I’ll be teaching in March. I knew very well that what I said would go in one ear, out the next ear and into another’s ear but I didn’t think it’d score me a seat in his office.
7. Got called into the Big Guy’s office and had an interesting chat with him. Went in so sure of myself and yet left honestly feeling like I had just broken up with a boyfriend.
8. Turns out the lady bus driver #2 hit on route has blood on her brain and thus a slim chance of surviving. When I left the Big Guy’s office I ran into bus driver #2 in the front lobby of SLP. My heart totally went out to him and I wanted to hug him. All I could think of was how this changed everything for him and his family.
9. After dealing with drama all day at work, I then ran into the drama queens of all drama queens… “Her”. Now there’s a girl who’s always ready at the flick of a dime when it comes to getting involved drama. She makes even my life seem boring!
10. Came home to the realization that in my haste to make it to work on time, I had forgotten to turn off the heat. Yuck! Cooked fried eggs on the floor…just joking.
QUESTION OF THE DAY…
What’s wrong with this picture?
QUOTE OF THE DAY…
I think the sheep is sore.
-- Tasha
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.
