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... Saturday, April 15

1. Finally got around to getting my gym pass for the gym near my house downtown.
2. Oh no…. I found my camera. It was in my backpack. I was convinced some student took it and so now on Monday I’ll have to make up some stupid story!
3. Our day trip into Daejon turned into quite an adventure….and part of that adventure I definitely don’t want to repeat!
4. There comes a point in everybody’s life when they’re sure they’re about to die… Ryan causing a reckless driving transport truck driver to pull over was the start of this feeling for me. Ryan was nothing but a tough man as he yelled at this dude, who, of course deserved it (and a kick in the head – he never got that though).
5. Apparently the truck driver didn’t like what Ryan said and so he came racing at us with his massive transport truck. Luck had it that there was a side street for us to quickly turn on. It was obvious that this man was nothing short of crazy when he got out of the truck, looked for any kind of weapon, and decided to wait for us.
6. Ended up having to call the cops and so we got a police escort on our route to Daejon. However, I couldn’t help but keep on looking over my shoulder, just in case.
7. Made it to Daejon safely where we then ventured to “Motorcycle Street”. Scooters and bikes lined the streets. Everyone drove one… even the tea girls delivering tea!
8. Was kind of embarrassed when I found out that one of the repair men where we hung out for about an hour, understood English and was fluent!!! I think he agreed with my comment about his buddy’s super funky perma hair.
9. Froze our butts off on the ride home. I was convinced I was going into shock cause the wind felt warm on my face but my toes were numb and I couldn’t feel my legs!
10. Have to admit, Ryan and I both looked like a pair of retards as we got off the bike and tried to walk. We both had a good laugh making fun of each other and how stupid we looked!


QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How far would you go to prove a point?
