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.

Scattered Post... Monday, July 5

Did anyone else see my boy Sung Hoon beat the tar out of his opponent yesterday in UFC?! Gotta give to his opponent though for having one heck of a strong head!!!

Congrats to Buff Boy the Original who had his first day of his new job today at the bank – and props to him for the hook-ups with the currency exchange and money transfer!!!

My bedroom is officially bed-less and has become a massive walk-in closet. Whereas my family room has become the new bedroom. I’m cool with the floor mat, quite prefer it actually, but I’m not really down with it always being laid out and in front of the TV.

Today the plant that Cat gave to me grew its’ second flower… very pretty.

My tutoring student Blue refused to write his answers down in class and insisted I do it – “because I pay you”. Wow, wasn’t too sure on what to say to that!

Being the stubborn Polish mule that I so often can be, I ignored Snickers advice and went running at the dead of noon in a hooded sweater. Came back practically drowning in my own sweat and am pretty sure I got sun stroke or something. When asked about my strange condition at training by Junior Mint, Snickers called me “a damaged Polish”.
Got exhausted just watching Snickers at training tonight. He sparred five rounds with the Cheonan Bulldog and then five rounds with Panty Boy Jr. Twice he knocked the Cheonan Bulldog flat on his butt in the ring; I’m sure he’ll be bruising nicely tonight. Panty Boy Jr. proved quite the competition but Snickers got him with some wickedly rough body shots in the last couple of rounds.

Beefy Boy, one of the guys that I’ve been trying to teach weight training to at boxing, bailed out of training tonight. I teased him about it and joked about him joining a yoga class with “the rest of the ladies”. He took my jokes fairly well but when Junior Mint jumped in on the teasing, he blurted out “I have the runs, ok. I can’t train because I have the runs!” No one had anything to say after that.

Today was high carb day for me so hooray for that; hooray for carbs! High carb day only comes twice a week so I celebrated it by cooking up a sweet potato, making myself on mean tomato egg sandwich with lettuce and spinach on whole wheat bread, and then dined out for dinner… just me and a bowl of raw beef bibimbap.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Did anyone else watch Sung Hoon yesterday?
