1. My mom sent me a box of Lucky Charms as a part of my Western goodies Christmas gift back in December but I’ve been rationing them. They’re still magically delicious but they kind of crunchy now and the marsh mellows are rather chewy, almost painfully chewy… hahaha.
2. Am not a big fan of Sundays considering I don’t train on Sundays but instead spend it planning my weekly lecture Power Point file.
3. Soooo…. when Junior Mint texted me, asking where I was, I knew that meant he was at the boxing club and so off I went. He asked me to pick him up some lunch and so we had lunch together at the club. With Black Skinny’s fight coming up soon, he’s training seven days a week and so I sat around watching him train.
4. This week’s focused reading in my reading class is titled “I Cut the Cheese!” and yes, just like the title implies, it’s about tooting. Am sure it’s going to be rather humorous but embarrassing standing in front of university students talked about strange facts regarding tooting. Did you know that the average person toots 14 times a day?! I once told Junior Mint that foreign girls can’t toot but Mi Nam, oh gosh Mi Nam, he definitely makes up for that… hahaha.
5. I’ve been successful with switching Mi Nam to afternoon walks but nothing is quite as embarrassing as doing poop-duty and discovering too late that there’s a hole in the bag… nasty!
6. Spent a good part of my day distracting myself from working on my Power Point and lesson planning by playing with Mi Nam. You know what, honestly, the more and more I am with this little guy, the more and more I prefer dogs over people. Laugh as you may but at least with Mi Nam, well dog’s in general, he’s so completely honest and loyal. I can’t stand those fake-smile-wearing people. You know who I’m talking about, the people that go around with that oh-so fake life-is-peachy-perfect smile. I can’t stand it. I don’t consider myself to be a pessimist, instead, I think I’m borderline optimist/realist. I wish more people were real though, I mean really-real. It’s OK to have bad days and it’s OK to step on poop and complain about it, so do it because people and their life-is-peachy-perfect smiles have no place in my life except for at Walmart. (Hence why I don’t shop there even when I’m in Canada… hahaha). I don’t really have a set reason as to why I’m stating this comment except for the fact that… ya,… I just wish more people would be real; real with me, real with others, real with themselves.
7. Tang promised to take me out for dinner some time ago and so tonight I took him up on his offer. We headed out to Mainz together, of course… I went for the good stuff considering it was his treat.
8. Dinner with Tang turned into a three and a half hour chat/chow-fest. Mainz is delish and my company wasn’t so bad either… hahaha. After dinner he walked me home... I love that. Props to those Korean mothers who taught their sons what it means to be a gentleman. And as the elevator door closed, I texted him “I hope you appreciated that I washed my hair for you”… hahaha.
9. Got back to business with my Power Point planning. School is already in week five, which is crazy considering how fast time has flew. It seems like just yesterday I was bored out of my skull, desperately trying to fill up my two month holiday with as much training as possible and now my days are so busy with work… well, OK, not so busy with work. Never the less, I’m much busier now these days.
10. Midterms are in week eight and so tonight I sat down and started to plan my midterm for the two courses I’m teaching.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Where did you lose your backbone?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If you don't stick up for something you'll fall for everything.

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.
