1. Well today wasn’t really an exciting or productive day, that’s for sure!
2. It rained non stop today and so I never did venture outside my house.
3. With English camp starting tomorrow at the crack of dawn, I spent a good part of my day doing laundry and procrastinating with packing (it’s an overnight camp).
4. Realized I’m the master of procrastination when I went to pack up my toiletries and ended up scrubbing the toilet and washing down the bathroom walls. Didn’t end up packing up my toiletries till about ten hours after my initial attempt.
5. Still am clueless as to what I’m expected to teach or do at this English camp. Seems like that’s the going trend with these camps… and Korea too for the most part (lack of communication that is).
6. My afternoon consists of moving around my apartment and finding various places to have a cat nap… the couch, bed (well, in my case…. the mat), floor, and stairs. Don’t ask about the stairs, you’re really not interested… ha, ha, ha.
7. Decided to go all out for dinner and order in. Not too sure on what I’ll really be eating at camp and so we ordered in a feast and relaxed… like we hadn’t done enough of that today.
8. Okay… sending me four emails a day about basically nothing is really not cool. Between getting way too many text messages from “Trouble Boy” and too many emails from “Mr. Jump to Conclusions”, I don’t think I’ll ever go to Songtan again. That place reeks of trouble, drama and desperate men who definitely read too much into things!
9. Movie night! Haven’t had a movie night with Ryan in such a long time and so tonight we watched “Hide and Seek”. Awesome movie but it spooked me and I sat through most of the movie with goose bumps!
10. Finally at a little after midnight, I decided I better pack. I’ve outgrown sleepovers and so I’m really not looking forward to sleeping over at English camp. Knowing my luck, I’ll end up having to bunk with a whole clan of elementary girls who’ll only end up chatting all night.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How would you translate, "leave me alone"?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another.
-- James Matthew Barrie
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.

That's kind of funny about the lack of communication in Korea. I also felt the same way but SG is constantly ranting about the lack of communication at his work place here in the U.S. Maybe the Koreans think they are communicating and so do the Americans but there's a cultural breakdown somewhere. Hmmm. . . I never thought about it that way before.
