1. Last day at SLP.
2. Skipped tutoring to take Hanna for a walk to the GS 25 store where the local cutie Sun Tong works. I see him almost every morning on my way to school and so it was kind of sad to say good-bye to him. He remembered it was my last day and so he treated me to banana milk.
3. Being to think that the only lasting impression I’m giving everyone is that I love banana milk.
4. My two kinder classes, Dream and Wisdom, both had their class parties today and so that consisted of way too much junk food, games, chit chat, and watching Scoopy-Doo.
5. Helped my Wisdom students get ready for hometime one last time and it was so incrediably hard to watch them leave. We did one last big group hug and then Jack started to cry so of course I started to too… then so did Jinny…. then Kevin…. then Joel … then Hanna. Little did I know their mothers were all looking in the window watching us.
6. Had the pleasure of meeting the Big Guy’s next victims…. just joking. Met the new teachers. It was especially great to meet Blaine because I had talked with her on the phone and feel partly responsible for her coming to Korea.
7. Made my Glory girls pinky-swear they wouldn’t tell their parents they saw me cry when Dave gave me a framed picture of us at mud festival. Now they all think I'm a softy. Thanks Betty for the cake your brought me. I'll miss you Glory girls!
8. Wish I could have said some words to Dave and my co-workers when I left but I really hate good-byes and so I hurried home to deal with the separation.
9. It’s official…. plans to do a visa run to Thailand are back on baby! Word has it I’ve even scored free accommodations because Joyce Kim my agent (Wonder Woman) is going there too for business and I’ll be staying with her! Sweet!
10. Treated myself to a visit to the hair salon where I was pampered by two dudes and a sweet stylist, Girl 104, who loved practicing her English on me.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How do you say good-bye?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Sometimes I wish I were a little kid again, skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts.

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.
