"Although she [Bo Young, my opponent] lost three and won two..."Great... just great. I appreciated him correcting me but reading this at 7am, right before I head out for Korean class in Seoul, was a bit much for me to digest with my breakfast.
Actually, it's the other way around. She WON three and LOST two (she lost her third and fifth fights).
"...her experience in the ring is definitely an asset to her..."
Yeah. She's gone 6 rounds, and fought an 8-round title fight.
2. Time it took my teacher to check my Korean homework = a good 40 minutes!!! I guess she wasn't expecting me to have studied so hard and to pick up extra study materials too. "I have way too much time on my hands" was my excuse... hahaha.
3. Guess what I found?!... Natural Skippy Peanut Butter, and a whole whack of it too I must add. Found it at the Shinsaege Department Store beside the Gangnam Express Bus Terminal. And to think, it's been sitting on a shelf just minutes away from where I go every week for Korean language class!
4. A friend once told me that if you want a quick picker-upper than what better way to put a smile on your face then by putting a smile on someone else's face. She claimed that smiles were like sneezes and colds, contagious. So I put her thought to action today by picking up some overly expensive but equally, if not better, hot Korean rice cake while in Seoul. When I finally returned to Cheonan after class, I then rushed over to the club and gave it to Junior Mint. My friend was right, mind ya, I know shilling out cash isn't a necessity of proving her point.
5. In attempt to avoid the situation that follows Q and me asking each other if the other person has walked Mi Nam or fed him, Mi Nam getting all overly hyper and all, we have officially started spelling things out... hahaha. Mi Nam's not quite the bilingual dog but his favourite words are "san-check" and "walk", which mean the same thing.
6. Q's new word of the day, "chocolate starfish"... oh gosh. He learned it off an episode of "Sex and the City" so you know it can't be good... hahaha.
7. Spent the afternoon pretty much passed out on the floor with Mi Nam snoring in my ear.
8. Later in the evening, around 9pm, Q and I headed out to boxing. I walked in sporting pillow lines on my face and the boys all had a good laugh about that. I was laughing too, that is until I saw my weigh-in. It was about 1kg more than I had expected and so I was shocked... I was ticked actually and so while I did my 30 minutes of skipping, I retraced my steps for the day. What did I eat, when did I eat, how many calories did I eat, how long did I go running for, how many calories did I burn... every single detail. It was driving me crazy. "Just forget about it" Black Skinny told me but I couldn't. If I weren't having a game in less than two weeks I wouldn't be so annal about my diet and calorie counting. I no longer have the luxury of not paying attention. I tell ya, on most days I want to pound the heck out of the weigh-in scale despite it often being "nice" to me.
9. I figure it was the chicken salad I had made. It was all healthy and such but I had added some seasoning on it and I take it there was more salt in it than I had anticipated. Then there's the fact that I thought I'd treat myself to some fresh pineapple dressing, which was a bit fatty and has some natural sugars, in addition to some extra added ingredients I take it that might have somewhat killed the healthiness of my salad. I justify it by saying that I deserved it and didn't use to much dressing.
10. In the next month and a bit, four of us from UP Boxing Club will be having fights and so stress is weighing heavy on Junior Mint. He takes his boxing so personal and so tonight when I showed up tired from the long day I had just had, I tried hard not to show it. Black Skinny's fight is scheduled for a Saturday in March. It'll be held in Japan and so I'm hoping to attend that. Hopefully Satoshi will meet up with us there, too. Cool!!!

Have you two gone on a W-A-L-K today?

I think you're being a little crazy. Seasoning and dressing on a salad being TOO much? I don't think a salad added an extra Kg.
Oh well.
<3
Hey Bman,
Hehehe.. I am a bit crazy but that's besides the point. Koreans are more about taste than health, or so it seems to me, so I know that salad dressing is rather fattening. The fact that it has to be scooped out with a fork should tell ya something about it... lol. The chicken had too much seasoning in it and in the seasoning there was salt. I never add extra salt to anything.. haven't for over 7 years now actually. The salt totally dehydrated me and it all didn't digest well.
