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 22

1. Word has it that more teachers than expected are leaving now. Count is now up to seven!
2. Feels so good to know that this time next week I’ll be free of SLP and will be sitting in my new pimpin’ pad with my feet up and the hottie beside me enjoying our day off!
3. Really appreciated the helper teacher busting into the class and totally disregarding the fact that I’m teaching. I think she assumes I know fluent Korean cause she spared me no translation on something that turned out to be an important message.
4. Scored big time with the free bottles of Aspirin and Tylenol from Louis. I suppose if there were ever drugs to take than these would be the ones. Rather stay drug-free but this headache is too much.
5. Some men bring chocolates, others bring roses….my man… he surprised me with wallpaper paste and wallpaper. I walked into my apartment and there it lay on the floor. What a surprise! It was exactly what I needed (no sarcasm here!!!)
6. After realizing I haven’t learned nearly as much Korean as I had hoped this past year, created a study plan and spent two hours tonight studying Korean.
7. I love it… Ryan quotes my father even though the two have never met. I suppose he’s just heard so much about him that it’s like he has.
8. Celebrated our anniversary together even though it’s really not our anniversary but as Ryan says, “In the words of Mr. Berezowski, everyday is like our anniversary!”
9. Celebrated our “anniversary” (ha, ha, ha) and rainbow day at TGIF. Ryan and I always seem to get this one waitress who totally loves us up!
10. Still can't breathe through my nose... thanks John. Am totally convinced that this sneezing, runny nose, massive coughing mini-Korean from Wisdom class is the source of my yuckiness!


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What is something you really want to learn?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
-- Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields
