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.

All Dolled Up... Friday, July 1

Saw "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" in theater today and all I can say is dang Megan Fox, you've got nothing on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. I heard the other day that Megan Fox was fired when she made some accusation, claiming that the movie director was like Hitler on the spot. Wrong move girl. Looks like your looks couldn't get you out of that one!

I don't particulary like Megan Fox's look, Snickers thinks she looks cheap, but I know I wasn't the only one "hating" Rosie for looking picture-perfect in every shop. She was the envy among all us girls -- foreigners and Korean.

Today's night out at the movies was a date with Snickers. I wore a thin black skirt that hugged me just enough but not too much that I couldn't quite move, a white t-shirt and a pair of new nude coloured heels. They're not actually new heels, they're two months old but given my daytime job and evening packed with training, I never have the chance to wear them. Oh ya, I even did my make-up special for the date -- frosted light green eye shadow with a pale lip. Yup, I got all dolled up.

My days of daily high heels, body-clinging clothes, and jewels accenting my complete outfit seem so far away. When I'm not sweating it up at the daycare I'm sweating it up at home outside with the two dogs or at the gym or at boxing. My days consists of runners, body-clinging mini-Koreans, and hair barettes stashed in every pocket and purse so to keep my hair out of my face.

I miss the days when I use to fine-tune my outfit, leave the house looking good and coming home with the same feeling. Now I come home desparately needing a shower or lacking the time to shower cause I have to race off to training.

It's surely nice to get dressed up and though tonight was only a trip to the theater, I jumped at the opportunity to get dolled up and make an occassion of it.


It was a date, a hot date and I'd like to think it was a hot date not because of the brutally hot Korean weather but because of us... well, at least in my eyes ;)

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Are we alone?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
You may lose faith in us, but never in yourselves.
-- Optimus Prime, Transformers: Dark of the Moon
