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.

I Had a Baby... Tuesday, July 6

I’m always giving random tips and advice to Snickers with regards to eating healthy. He insists that his ice cream eating ways have proven him invisible to the effects of bad eating but I don’t agree.

“Sure, you’re body looks so strong – too strong – I’m jealous, but inside I’m sure your body is screaming ‘I hate you’ at you” I told him.

“You are what you eat” I added.
Last night I had indulged in my high carb day, so today I was referred to as ‘Mama Bibimbap’. Waking up today with last night’s oh-so-delish raw beef bibimbap still on my lips was certainly devine. When I woke up, honestly, the first thing that crossed my mind was “dang that was delish”. I sprawled out on the floor mat not wanting to get up and instead stayed there for a bit rubbing my tummy.

“What are you doing?” mumbled a very confused Snickers.

“I’m rubbing my baby.” “A..bbbbbbbaby?!” he screamed out.

“Yes, my baby bibimbap… I’m going to have a baby bibimbap and it’s going to be delish, I can just feel it!”


By then Snickers had clued into what I was going on about. He gave me a little flick to the nose and then rolled his eyes.

Occassionally Snickers and I like to watch the Tyra Banks Show on TV. The other day we caught glimpse of an episode about several girls who didn’t even know they were pregnant until the actual birth of their child. I thought I’d play on this idea, so I gave quite a performance today while sitting on the throne.

“Hurray Amy!!! I have to do a number 2,… or is it a number 1?!” he yelled out – yes, I have clued him into the whole bathroom numbering system though he hasn’t quite got it down. Anyways…

“Wait… wait… it’s coming! Oh my gosh!!!” I yelled out and with that Snickers swung open the door and met my eyes with massively wide-open eyes.

“What?!... what is coming?” he asked.

“My baby bibimbap! It’s alive!!!... get out so it can come!!!” I told him.

I’m sure the neighbors didn’t care for my silly yelling nor did Snickers really appreciate my joke but I thought it was hilarious. Later on, at boxing, Junior Mint commented about me not being up to par with my power on the pad work. I blurted out to him “I just had a baby”.
“WHAT?!!!!!”
It was as if you could hear a pin drop in the boxing club. Everyone stopped and spun their heads around in my direction.
“Don’t listen to her” noted Snickers. “She just had a big poop.”
Great… way to play along with my joke Snickers… hahaha. On a side note, you know you’re way too comfortable with someone when telling them such a comment is received with no frowning of the eyebrows or second thoughts.
“… me too” added one of my teammates.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How many numbers are there?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
