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.

The Irony of Being Blessed... Tuesday, December 7

Count your blessings,
name them one by one.
Count your blessings and see where God had fun.
God works in mysterious and wonderful ways, true, but he also has a lot of fun with how he works. I say this because yesterday I got a mysterious blessing with my Samsung lunch tutoring being postponed. Sure it means I’m making less money but it means I get more time to sleep and train, and more energy to give towards my boxing, both of which definitely out weight the dollar amount put on my tutoring.

Today I got another unexpected helping hand from God and it came in the form of my cell phone mysteriously crashing. Nothing on my phone seemed to be working, I couldn’t even so much delete a picture or send a text message. Off I headed to the LG service center and what should happen but all but my phone numbers could be saved. Instantly I went from having 357 phone numbers to a big goose egg, zero.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of it all, knowing that now I can’t call people and, if tomorrow’s weather report is right (snow), I won’t be able to visit anyone either… hint, hint, pure disconnection with a particular “f-word”. I love it!!!

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
If you can't laugh at life than what can you laugh at?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If there's one thing I know it's God does love a good joke.
