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.

Hungover from Yesterday... Thursday, November 4

Hungover, as in yesterday's blahness hungover into today's turn of events.

Not much to write about today on account that I struggled just as much today as I did yesterday with staying positive and not being overconsumed with missing Snickers. Alhough I don't consider myself an overly happy-go-lucky person which, side note here, I am so glad I am not cause I've always thought it not normal to be a perma-smile person, I would like to be happier than I have been the past couple of days. Everyone has their bad moments, that's life, but this has been a little too much for me this week. I find even the slightest thing remind me of Snickers and I feel like I'm walking on egg shells. Walking around egg shells AROUND myself, how strange does that sound?! The only way I can even begin to explain that strange sentence is to say that I literally have to tell myself I'm okay and that I'm so stronger than the emotions that are trying to fight with me.


I've resorted to writing silly lists of things-to-do and even going so far as to make a kind of timetable breakdown of what to do in attempt to not be more productive but to keep my sanity. I am struggling to shake the whole "just a month" fact that's been haunting me this week.

I miss that goat-imitating, flat foot walking, five-finger discount shopping, panty-dropping, ice cream overdosing, banana peel monster I call my husband, Snickers.

The best thing I heard this week came from Panty Boy the Original who noted to me, "As much as it hurts, isn't it so great to miss someone so much that it aches the heart?" And he's right; he's absolutely right. I miss Snickers like crazy so yes, it's so great to have this great love in my life to be able to miss.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Does he miss me as much as I do him?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell.
-- Edna St Vincent Millay

So your husband is a thief and you're proud of that?

Yep, good match.

Hi "Anonymous",
My husband is no more a thief as you are a so-called "Anonymous" person. It's called an IP address... leaves a trail, so not so anonymous.
I guess you don't know the word sarcasim, just like you don't know anonymous. Stay in school, thanks.
