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... Wednesday, February 8

1. Discovered that I CAN iron my pants while still wearing them.
2. Once again, no Hanna. 1-2-3 strikes…. you’re outta here!
3. Almost got the wind knocked out of me by a mini Korean (Wisdom John) who decided to jab me right in the top of my chest cavity where the ribs part. One question, who is teaching this little guy these moves! Turns out that this particular sensitive part of your chest cavity, if broken, can kill you…yikes!
4. Had a very interesting not to mention very comical chat on msn with some very “productive” coworkers (won’t mention any names). I had invited them all into the one screen, even invited my brother in New York. Laughs by all but I think we’re still a bit disturbed about Rob’s naked comment. Ha, ha, ha! Good times.
5. Played verb bingo with my elementary Virgo class and totally cheated (in Adrian’s favor) just to avoid drama. This must be what his parents feel like!!!
6. Picked up my results from yesterday’s medical exam. Here are some interesting results:

  • i. Think I’m legally blind…my score for my eye sight was low and I even cheated (wore lenses). Either I’m as blind as a bat, these LotteMart lenses suck or she was confused with my English answers.
    ii. weigh less than I though….. great!
    iii. Grown only 1 cm since grade 11….well at least I’m not srinking, or am I?
    iv. My blood sugar level is low and so I’m just short of being diabetic.
    v. Hearing is perfect….hmmm, no. Did I forget to mention yesterday that I cheated on that too?! Ya, because of a field hockey incident my hearing in my left ear is a bit off.
    vi. Discovered that I’ve got the best blood type (type O), according to Koreans that is. Koreans believe that blood type O people have the best personalities.
    vii. Negative…..? After the previous results, I’m too scared to ask.

7. Revenge of the machines. Today not only did my computer spaze out and crash but my cell phone decided that it was going to freeze while I was taking a picture. I won’t tell you who the subject was…. ha, ha, ha.
8. Tasted the worst Korean food at restaurant that was thriving with customers. Even Ryan admitted to their total lack of ability to cook. Even the rice sucked!
9. I love it…Korea’s way of dealing with massive snow is umbrellas and putting blankets on the ground but what’s up with the lack of concern for the sidewalks?
10. Total disappointment with the indecisiveness with the Middle school in Cheonan.


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Will THIS be on the blog?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
