1. For those that missed it, I was on TV yet again, MBC ESPN Sports.... don't worry. It was a short clip and I missed it too... hahaha.
2. The club was buzzing with lots of people today. Students are now well into their vacation time and so my quiet 1pm training time is now not so quiet. Among those in the club, today we had a couple of extra visitors. A newspaper reporter came by the club to interview Junior Mint but Junior Mint, being one of my biggest supporters, threw me into the interview by bragging about my deal with KBS Sports, Adidas and the numerous TV shows I've been on. Great... I'll forever be known as the "Love in Asia" girl. Anyways, next thing I knew it, I was being interviewed too.
3. The reporter turned to Junior Mint and asked, "Is she a foreigner?", "Not really" he answered... hahaha.
4. Another visitor was Buddy-Boy and his coach from the jail. I take it he's going to be a regular now at our club cause he came by yesterday for sparring practice. I find it rather amusing to see how everyone, but a couple of people, are still very uncomfortable with him in the club. I think the whole situation is rather interesting though and I'm totally envious of his perfect ripped body. Koreans are all about "s-line" and well, he's got s-lines in his arms, s-lines in his legs... wow!!!
5. With this weekend being Seol-Nal (Lunar) New Year, Junior Mint will be closing the club till next Wednesday... no worries though, I've got a key!!!
6. Re-dyed my hair black. Ahhhh... this black hair is high maintenance... but I love it!!!
7. At exactly 4:49pm today I signed for my next fight!!!! Tuesday, February 17th. And so with less than a month away (24 days to be exact) I'm super stoked, super excited, but now I'll be so super busy buttering up to sponsors, training like an animal, and eating like a champ. I know nothing about my opponent yet but Junior Mint hinted that there's some kind of catch with this particular fight, hence why it took them over a week for those involved to agree to letting me have this fight... interesting.
8. Getting that fight automatically set me into hyper-overload and so after I screamed my head off and jumped around the house, I headed over to Hongik to burn off this energy with a good HIIT run (High Intensity Interval Training). Twenty minutes and 300 burned calories later, I was still mentally in hyper-mode but my body had now calmed down and I was practically drowning in my own sweat... not pretty... hahaha.
9. By the time Q came over to my house, it was late but I still was pretty stoked about scoring my next fight. "Well, I've got good news and bad news" I told him. "Good news is I got my next fight... bad news is I got my next fight". Tang texted me, to tell me he heard about me getting my fight and to ask me if I wanted to go out for dinner tomorrow. Tomorrow will be my last free day and then it'll be hardcore training and clean eating from there on. It's stressful, it's exhilarating, it's awesome, but it's also scary and nerve-racking.
10. Spontaneously decided that I wanted to go get some of that natural Skippy peanut butter and so off Q and I blazed it to LotteMart before it closed... no such luck. Not only did they not have natural Skippy peanut butter but they didn't even have ANY kind of peanut butter. And to make matters worse, the employee we asked didn't even know what peanut butter was!!! "What?!... it's what held my dreams together when I was a kid!!!" I said... hahaha.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Will people comment on my good news or are they only interested in bad news and nit-picking?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Chase down your passion like it's the last bus of the night.
-- Glade Byron Addams
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.

In regards to your question of the day, ya, I was questionning that too. People love ya Am but you know what they say, bad news sells. They're stinky poop poo heads anyways.
Congrats on getting your next fight. Knock her dead. Ok, well don't really knock her dead but you know what I mean.
Hey EVERYONE who responded to this post,
I just wanted to send you all a HUGE thanks. After so many people responding, gossiping and bickering to a post I made a couple of days ago, it's refreshing to see that SOME people actually like good news. Thank you for the encouragement. I'm training hard, eating super clean, and am anticipating a great fight. So thank you for all your kind words, encouragement and luck... much love to you all ;)
