Highlights of my Day... Friday, March 6

1. The same Adidas rep that sent me out a massive box of boxing "goodies" email me again.

"Tell me what do you need to train and I will make sure the team will send you some equipment."

Not too sure to what extent I'm allow to jump all over this awesome opportunity to get some more equipment but from the first massive gift box Adidas sent me to now, I've killed two pairs of gloves, have handed out all the hand wraps and mini boxing gloves to the guys at the club, and have definitely worked in the crop-top they sent me.

2. However, I'd love to pass Adidas' generosity on to Black Skinny and Panty Boy and pick out gear for them. Whether it's help with my technique, encouraging words when I'm exhausted at training, or them waving to me from inside the ring at their bouts, they've been really supportive of me from day one. They really deserve a heck of a lot more recognition than they've been given. Both of them haven't really advertised themselves and so it's only fitting that they get some much overdue attention in regards to sponsors and support.

3. Spent my whole day in my housecoat and I loved it... hahaha.

4. I did something mean today. After four hours of listening to an evil, evil random ankle-high poodle with it's white ears and tail dyed hot pink bark it's head off in the hallway, I took action. I tried waiting but after no one claimed him and the security in my building failed to do anything about the dog because he couldn't catch the yappy mutt, it was too much. So, to whoever is the neglecting owner of that dog, your dog is in the stairwell... and she's probably still barking her head off! I don't know who's worse here, the dog for it's non-stop evil high pitched barking or the owner for humiliating the socks of the mutt by colouring her hair hot pink. I nicknamed her Lil' Kim cause she looked like a miniature version of the rapper, but with a tail... hahaha.

5. I hear ya Homegirl, I too have a great group of friends that aren't so close at hand but consider yourself blessed. Your friends may be a long car ride away but most of my friends are a couple of plane rides away, at least two planes away, if not three that is... dang!

6. Now that I teach two different lectures this semester, I have two Power Points to make every week, which, as you can imagine, is not fun. There's got to be an easier or faster way than doing this cause I can't see my coworkers working like this on their days off, no disrespect to them either but it's a bit too much. I really need to stop being a perfectionist with things like this. It's gobbling my time and eating up my patience.

7. What the heck do you do with a random yappy ankle-bitting mutt in Korea?! In Canada I would have taken that mouthy girl to the Humane Society. I asked a couple of people in my building if they knew Lil' Kim's owner but was met with a bunch of "I don't know's". She had spent the whole afternoon yapping her head off in the stairwell and so, with my options limited with what to do with her, I put Mi Nam's old collar and leash on Lil' Kim and then tied her to the railing in the elevator, hoping that her being so in people's way now that someone would take further action, if not find their lost dog.

8. An hour later Lil' Kim was gone.

9. Junior Mint asked me to stick around to close up the club tonight so that he could leave and so I spent a good chunk of my evening at boxing. There's two little kids, a brother and his younger sister both around age 10, that just joined our club and they're super adorable. The little sister is quite the feisty one, insisting on constantly pulling her brother's hair and repeatedly trying to drop kick him. As for the brother, he took her abuse and instead of fighting back physically, he verbally attacked her, and get this, he attacked her with English! Not too sure where he's been learning his English but I take it he's been watching too many Hollywood movies because every English word he said sounded like they were scripted phrases. I particularly loved it when he pulled a Clint Eastwood and yelled out "Go ahead, make my day"... hahaha. I was in tears laughing.

10. I think I've mastered "winning" rock-paper-scissors... hahaha. Tonight Q showed up late after getting off work late. He was tired from working and it was after 11pm when I arrived home from training so I was tired too. Mi Nam wasn't tired though as he knew he'd be going on his late night walk soon with one of us. I insisted we play rock-paper-scissors (or is it rock-scissors-paper?!) and so we did. Q pulled a rock, I pulled scissors, which meant I lost but not in my head... hahaha. "You won!" I yelled out. "Congrats, you get to walk Mi Nam". "What?!" he asked. "Loser has to walk Mi Nam" he insisted. "Oh no, no one's a loser with Mi Nam, no loser walks Mi Nam... it's a privilege!" I told him... hahaha. Regardless of how hard I tried to weasel my way out of that one, we both had a huge laugh but I ended up having to put my jacket on over my overly sweaty training clothes and walking Mi Nam. Froze my butt off but Q bought me ice cream so I guess that kind of makes up for the fact... hahaha.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How is it possible to embarrass your dog more than dying it's hair hot pink?
