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.

Me watching TV with my at-home personal bodyguard, Mi Nam.

There's absolutely no place in the house or anything I can do here without Mi Nam insisting on shadowing me. When I move, he moves. I can't even go to the bathroom without him pushing on the door and trying to shove his head in.

It is SO pathetic that now that the man is gone, you bring your poor dog inside. That makes a pretty horrible person, you know. If you really loved him, you would stand up to your "husband" and not be a pushover who agrees to put poor Mi Nam outside.

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks but NO thanks. Mi Nam came in last fall/winter to live in the house just like this year, only this year he happened to come in earlier and happened to come when my husband (not sure on why the quotes, not really the right use of them) left.
What's SO pathetic is when people who don't know anything pull things out of THEIR BUTT and claim it to be fact. Leave the crap in your butt for the toliet.
Hahahaha... gotta love the silliness on the web. Thanks for today's dose of nonscense... and yes, I'm sure I probably spelt that word wrong.

You also spelled toilet wrong. I think anonymous put the word "husband" in quotation marks because your relationship just feels fake.

Hello yet another so-called Anonymous,
Thanks for the spell check. I'll be able to sleep better now... hahaha.

I know my relationship seems too good to be true but it is so good. When I first started dating him, and you can ask any of my former coworkers and former students about this, I was so happy I was scared... scared that what I was feeling was too good to be true. Most people seem to settle and I can't say many of my friends are happily head-over-heels in love with their significant other. I am though and that's the freakish thing about it because I've never really given 100% to a relationship. But with Snickers, I gave 120%. They say you don't know until you know, and it wasn't until I met Snickers that I knew what they were talking about.

Say what you want about my relationship but I'll say this, I know what I have with him because I know what it feels like. I know what it feels like when I wake up to him, when he says my name, when he hugs me, and I know that I still feel butterflies when I even so much see his picture flash across my cellphone screen.

Many people settle but many don't, and for those who have never experienced real down-in-your-gut true love, all I can say is for them to wait for it because when it does come, wow, look out. It is SO worth it!!!
