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 Canine Crew... Thursday, April 21

Today Snickers headed out on a three hour drive (one-way) to go pick up a dog he personally picked out to be the new security dog of the car dealership he's now working at. The dealership is a new shop, owned and operated by Snickers' best bud Wonder Boy.

Snickers loves babies. Two extra legs, no problem. If it's a baby he loves it. Just the other day Snickers turned to me and told me "I love Mi Nam, like honestly love him". It's taken him over two years to finally love Mi Nam but after a three hour drive back in the middle of the night with this new baby pup, he's convinced he loves it.

I for one don't like babies -- both two-legged and four-legged ones -- so when he told me he was coming home around 3am with this yelping pup I told him "either he or you can sleep in the house but not both!" With a full day of work at the daycare and then the private school, I wasn't about to let some overly-furry four-legged little one steal my last remaining hours of sleep, so it slept outside.


The new pup is one of three dogs that have been appointed as secuirty for the new car dealership but it's the only female. Mi Nam met this overly-furry gal early on Friday morning and was just as impressed as I was in it -- not impressed at all. I can't stand furry dogs. I don't like fur, especially long fur. I don't like body hair -- on people or on animals. Long fur screams smelly rainy days, hair clogs, hair left all over the floor, and high maintainance... no thanks.

So today the overly-furry little gal made her way to Suwon with Snickers where she met her two other canine coworkers. And today she was named, Panchi.

Writing the names of her and her two canine coworkers, I'm embarrassed. I had NOTHING to do with the naming of these three pups -- Panchi ("Pliers"), Mangchi ("Hammer") and Monkey. Ya, trust me, I'm still shaking my head at the nonscense of their names!!!

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Have they no shame with using such names?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.
