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.

They say every day is another day to learn something new.

What I learned today...

Learned that Mi Nam is more Korean than I thought, posing perfectly for pictures and knowing what exact pose makes him look super cute and which side is his good side... hahaha.


Learned that combining things you may like doesn't necessarily mean coming out with something new you'll like, like my Popeye-spinach drink I made today. I love blueberries so I threw them in, I love milk so in it went too, spinach was the third ingredient I love, but I should have stopped there. I went too far with throwing in chicken and blending it all together. In theory it was a great idea but in reality it left me feeling like I was going to blow chunks after I downed about half of it in two big gulps.

Learned that just like Asians look the same to so many foreigners apparently us foreigners all look the same to many Asians, and in this case these Asians were my daycare mini-Koreans. They spotted this poster during their hospital check-up. They were convinced it was me because of the poster girl's hair and muscular looking arm. After their initial shock that I was supposedly on a poster at the hospital came shock and confused looks. "Who is this guy?" they asked me. "Amy Teacher's husband is Korean!" others added.
