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.

Oh, it looks like meat and it smells like me but it definitely don't taste like meat.  It's beans, or tofu... or perhaps it's even the sawdust/paper mache combo it tastes like.  GIVE ME MEAT, or at least something that I can chew and doesn't dissolve in my mouth.
And trust me, the mini-Koreans aren't fooled by it either.  When I asked this little one, "Why didn't you take much food?" she replied by saying "I don't like the fake food."
I caught a pic of one of the assistants lecturing the students about eating properly.  Note, only the girl beside me ate a full plate of food. For the most part though, the kids do like the food and of course they would.  They've distracted the kids' thoughts of meat by bombarding them with carb-overload and excessive fried food.  
The cafeteria ladies may be showing me no love with their lack of meat and bombardment of fatty, fried foods, but today I got an excessive dose of a different kind of love from one of my students.
Nothing says I love you more than a 12 year old boy cooking you a chocolate chip cookie.
