With Snickers out of country things around Ggum Guum have been anything but normal. Mi Nam has officially claimed Snickers’ side of the bed, the house is extra clean and stays clean longer, the TV rarely goes on, and it’s just too quiet for my liking. I no longer have to pick up random banana peels on counter tops or underwear off the floor, and empty coffee cups no longer sit tucked beside the couch and computers. Morning naps no longer include cuddling and spooning and afternoon coffee time is done alone. Daily drives to tutoring were once filled with singing and chatting but have been replaced with random people trying to talk me as I scoot around on Gotti. Dinner dates and spontaneous movie dates have been totally canceled out and if I was considered anti-social and quiet before then now I am a homebody mute.
I’m out on the river path every day either walking Mi Nam or running, I go to the boxing club for training, the church and Samsung to tutor, Lotte Mart to grocery shop, and if I’m not at one of those five places than there’s a 99.99% chance I am home alone.
It’s only been about a week since Snickers left and I miss him like crazy. It’s been a struggle to not have him with me.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Has it only been a week?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
-- Carl Jung
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.

Are you planning to visit him while he's away? Hope the time goes by fast!!
Hi Alex,
I would absolutely love to visit him -- Japan is awesome -- but considering he doesn't get more than one day or so warning that he'll be going to the main land, it's almost impossible to plan any kind of visit. He's working on a fishing ship so he's got not phone or Internet access.
I miss him so much!!!
