It’s been a busy weekend, hence why I’m posting about the Saturday wedding on Sunday’s posting. Yesterday I had an early morning daycare workshop to attend out in Seoul but with my friend’s wedding being immediately after I had to wear my wedding guest clothes to my meeting. I then had to rush it back to Cheonan via a bus only to have Snickers waiting in the car at the terminal. I made it to the wedding with literally just seconds to spare.
To be brutally honest, I don’t like Korean weddings – the so-called “modern” wedding hall-held Korean weddings. Correction, I think they’re cheesy and annoying so I don’t want to write about them.
Mouse Doctor’s got a new girlfriend. Yup, he’s replaced Cheeto Girl with Peg-Leg Girl and they made their newly-formed couple introduction today at the wedding. How uncomfortable was that, being in a friend-packed wedding hall, all of which expected Mouse Doctor to show up with Cheeto Girl.
“Be nice” Snickers whispered to me.
“Forget that. Kick her” Old Rock told me.
“I’m not going to kick her” I told them both. “Punch her yes but kick her no” I added.
I heard Snickers tell me to be nice but if Peg Legs thinks I’m going to be all buddy-buddy with her because I’m all buddy-buddy with Mouse Doctor than I’ve got news for her. Cheeto Girl is my girl here in Korea and not too long ago her and I sat down to have a serious talk about her and Mouse Doctor’s relationship. I’m no genius when it comes to relationships, I just got lucky by meeting someone more stubborn than me, someone who refused to let me walk away without giving a good fight.
Snickers and Old Rock joked with me, teasing me about being sensitive regarding Mouse Doctor and Cheeto Girl breaking up. "They broke up" Snickers told me, "not you!" Honestly, I knew they weren't a perfect couple but they were one of those disfunctional couples whose handicaps were equally strange and somehow they just worked to make the couple work.
Mouse Doctor did the mistake by introducing me to Peg Legs in front of Snickers and Old Rock – both of which are huge instigaters of trouble and love to egg me on.
“What’s your job?” Peg Legs asked me.
“She gets paid to punch people!” Old Rock jumped in with.
“Well, that’s not totally true but yes, I do fight… professionally” I noted.
She didn’t know how to take our comments so she laughed it off and looked wide-eyed and confused at the bunch of us standing there. Great… great first impression. I should note that yes, she’s well aware that I’m not only her new boyfriend’s good friend but I am also a close friend of her new boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend.
“And what does your husband do Amy?” she then asked.
“He gets paid to punch people too!” Old Rock just had to add.
“Yes,… that’s true” I said and with that the conversation and questions stopped. I think maybe she was too scared to ask anymore. Scared that we'd say more strange things or scared that the strange we were talking about was actually true.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Are you friends with ex's?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

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.
