The shoot was supposed to finish at 1am. Snickers had taken it upon himself to drive all the way out to Suwon to pick me up – a two hour drive—but when 1pm rolled around though we were no where near finishing.
2am came… 3am came… and then 4am came too.
When we hit the 4am mark I called it a day.
I went up to my agent and told him that I wasn’t going to stay any longer. I know shoots usually go longer than anticipated but it had gone three hours past the finish line. I had specifically asked them the other day if this would be an all-nighter shoot, in which I would have not agreed to do it had it been one. Moreover, it going so beyond the finish line meant Snickers had waited for me for three hours in the car in addition to doing the two hour drive there. I had my early morning language meeting and Snickers had anticipated weight training with Junior Mint at 7:30am.
They tried to urge me to stay but my loyalty first and foremost is to my husband and out of respect for him I couldn’t bare to make him sleep outside in the car any longer. So, on that note, I left.
Got word later on from my beautiful Russian Chum-Buddy that they called it a wrap at 7:30am today… yikes! Not cool… definitely not cool at all!!!
I tried to stay awake during the ride home because I knew Snickers was exhausted and I feared him falling asleep at the wheel. Two times I fell asleep and both times so did Snickers, well for a second or two, so two times we almost crashed into passing cars… scary stuff!!!
We arrived back in Cheonan at 6:20am. I snoozed for 20 minutes before I then got up, washed my face and headed out to my language group. Snickers never did make it to weight training but instead slept in the car while I did my language meeting.
Upon arriving back at Ggum Guum, we then crashed.
Slept from 9am to 5:30pm.
Went boxing from 6pm to 7pm and then weight trained from 7pm to 7:40pm.
Did light grocery shopping and then called it a day at 9pm.
QUESTION OF THE DAY…
Do they think they can get away with that?
QUOTE OF THE DAY…
Acting is all about honesty. If you can fake that, you've got it made.
-- George Burns
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.
