It's been almost two weeks since Black Skinny shockingly lost his fight.
It's been almost two weeks since Black Skinny's been MIA from the boxing club.
He's been totally out of sight but definitely not out of mind.
Tonight he stepped back into the boxing club. I had just arrived and was gearing up for boxing when at the corner of my eye I caught glimpse of Mini-Skinny -- who isn't so skinny, he's actually quite pudgy but the name fits considering who his dad is. Anyways, so in came Mini-Skinny. He waddled in, bowed to us and then sat down on the floor. I knew right away who he was so I jumped up and ran to the club door where I then spotted Black Skinny coming up the stairs. He only dropped by to pick up his stuff that he had left behind at the fight but it's a step closure for him with regards to getting back in the ring.
His short pop-in to the club was greeted by "what-do-we-say" questionable glances by those training. I on the other hand was estatic to see him so I gave him a good upper cut to the rear and asked him if he forgot about us. "Don't leave me here alone to train with these girls" I joked, and by 'girls' I was making a crack about my male buddies at the club.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Doesn't saying nothing make an uncomfortable situation all that more uncomfortable?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.

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.
