1. Ya… in addition to the fact that I already don’t really answer my phone, I definitely don’t answer it or any texts at say… I don’t know… hmm… 1:48 in the morning (unless it’s from a friend in Canada that is). Side Salad’s “let’s meet up tonight” definitely was interpreted as something else when he texted me in the wee hours of the morning today. Thanks but no thanks. I am not one of those “last call girls". You know, the one you call up after you’ve had your fun and no one in their right mind is still around.
2. Boredom hit me pretty early today and so I sat down at my computer to do some writing. I thought I’d simply write about whatever came to my mind and see where it went. Well, it went in a rather strange direction and I ended up creating a kind of rubric, a means of marking. However this isn’t just any rubric. I called it “The Perfect-for-Me Boyfriend Rubric”… hahaha. OK, fair enough, it’s rather childish and silly but at 9am on a Sunday morning with boredom plaguing my house, I thought it was kind of funny.
3. And yes, I did rate Q. To tell you the truth, he didn’t do too well on it… yikes. I’m a tough critic though.
4. And yes, later on in the evening Q rated me. He said I aced it but that sometimes my manners need some polishing. “Sometimes you talk too strong, like man” he commented. Funny thing is my Korean teacher told me the very same thing yesterday but she pointed the blame on the fact that I must be picking it up from the guys at the boxing gym who I’m constantly surrounded by… hahaha.
5. At exactly 11:30am I was flicking through the TV channels (it was a last result to curing my boredom) and then a news broadcast interrupted the channels. North Korea had launched it’s missile, proving to the world that Kim Jong Il does not and will not listen to anyone. I think it was Obama who mentioned that there will be consequences if Kim Jong Il launched this rocket… what consequences though? So what… so are you going to make him stand in the corner and not let him play with his friends?! He’s got no friends and he’s already willingly standing in the corner. He’s been standing in that corner for a long time now and I think he quite likes it. I’m curious as to what “consequences” will occur but am thinking that the most Kim Jong Il will get is a slap on the wrist.
6. Obama said “North Korea must know that the path to security and respect will never come through threats and illegal weapons”… oh please. Sorry Obama but Kim Jong Il could really care less about the security of anyone else and respect for that matter. He doesn’t care about respect cause he utilizes fear and brainwashing. After studying Korean culture in university and having read a lot about Kim Jong Il for a project I once did, it’s pretty freaky to know that I live about 4-5 hours away from him!
7. How big of a loser do I feel?! Seriously. I went on this particular homepage, Korea4Home, the other day and posted an add looking for a language exchange partner. All I got were guys responding to my ad but the whole point of me posting the ad was to find a couple of good Korean female friends. I get to practice my Korean a lot but it’s mainly with my boxing buddies so our vocabulary usually centers around exercise and eating.
8. I thought my add would attract some cool Korean girls who’d I’d be able to practice other vocab with but all my add got were people complimenting a boxing picture of mine and so I’m stuck practicing my new vocab with Mi Nam…. Hahaha.
9. This country is packed to the brim with Koreans who speak Korean (of course) but trying to find a female Korean who I can practice my Korean with is like pulling teeth… painful… hence why I have to travel out to Seoul for tutoring.
10. Q tried to up his score on my silly “The Perfect-for-Me Boyfriend Rubric” by paying for my groceries tonight, eating messy chicken with chopsticks (which we always use our fingers for, hence why God gave us ten of them!), and by rubbing my sore foot… hahaha.
QUESTION OF THE DAY…
What do you know about North Korea?
QUOTE OF THE DAY…
What matters is not the idea a man holds, but the depth at which he holds it.
- Ezra Pound
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.

1. Are you saying he wanted to have sex? If so, I would stop talking to him. Even if he was drunk or something, you should drop people like that, no matter how nice they are sober.
5. I don't think Obama ever used that word. He's usually more careful about he says. Or that's taken out of context. Either way, that makes it sound like Obama intends to nuke NK or something.
6.Are you contradicting yourself? First you say there's nothing you can do as a consequence, now you're upset that he won't really do anything? I don't know what sparked me, I guess the "oh please" remark which I can already hear my mother in my head. But what do you expect him to do? Attack a country with nukes? Or pretend nothing ever happened. Obama did what he could, by acknowledging that this was a bad move on NK's part, but without going full out "lets invade NK!".
7. Loser? Sounds like you attracted a bunch of guys who think you're hot haha.
Question of the Day!
Very little, actually. As an American, I probably know more about SK than 99% of anyone here (I mean, hell, knowing the capital of SK is more than most Americans) but to know anything about SK's evil neighbor? Nothing except the ruler is insane and is capable of nuclear warfare (maybe).
Quote of the Day!
I guess...I think that's kind of like saying "It doesn't matter what you say, as long as you believe it" which at first sounded arrogant, but now I see the sentence differently. It's easy to misunderstand that weird quote...oh well, I get the drift of it.
Much love from America at 3:28 am on a school night,
-Bman
I think I'm in love.
You're new twitter widget pic is yummy. Maybe too yummy.
I'm sorry anonymous, don't take this the wrong way but I don't think that's love. Love is more than that. Yours is just.. lust maybe?
And what any Canadian politicians do re: NK? People bitch when America wants to police the world, and then they bitch when America doesn't do a good enough job. Give me a break. What do you want America to do? Atomic bomb NK's ass? Cause that would take care of South Korea, too.
Anonymous #4 is taking things a little too seriously...Amy doesn't write blogs to be politically correct, just to say what she feels/thinks. Go ahead and disagree (like I did, kind of) but don't bash her.
And Anonymous #3, it's not a big deal. Someone thinks she looks hot and said they're in "love". Don't take it so seriously, it's the internet :P
-Bman
Bman, I'm not taking her too seriously. She's proud to be Canadian, she's proud to be a "Polack"--why look to Obama for guidance?
Hey Bman,
1. I talked to him yesterday and he "claims" I was supposed to call him but you know...
5. Ya, I wasn't too sure if it was him or not.
6. I don't really know too much about Obama but my comment was rather rhetorical and sarcastic. No disrespect to Obama but there is nothing really he nor anyone can do to Kim Jong Il in regards to setting him straight and it's frustrating, I know. I live in South Korea remember. I live here, beside North Korea, where even the South Koreans have given up on him. They just accept him now, not willingly, but in a way they do. Many of them weren't even alarmed over the whole missile testing because they've become so accustomed to it... I think that's sad. I wasn't suggesting he do anything or nothing, but was rathering stating that there's nothing that will really be done to Kim Jong Il that will ever bring about any kind of justice or whatnot.
7. I said "loser" can it definitely felt strange writing an ad with regards to looking for a new friend.
And props to you for knowing anything beyond how to spell North Korea... hahaha.
Hello Anonymous,
Ya, I'm with Diana on this one. I don't think it's love but I liked your joke.. thanks.
Hi Diana,
I agree... just lust.
Hey Anonymous,
Easy there tiger. Way to jump on my back... damn. If you actually understood my writing instead of jumping to conclusions you'd note that I talked about nothing being possible for Obama, OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER, to do with regards to Kim Jong Il.
Thanks for the "colourful" response, but I don't really care for that kind of "colour"... or should I write COLOR for you, an American?!
And I wasn't looking to Obama for guidance... you missed my point.
