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.

The Crazy Fruit Man Strikes Back... Monday, August 15

Houston, we have a problem.

The crazy fruit man has returned and now he's adding veggies to his pile of ammunition.

Yes, veggies.

And yes, there is a man here in Cabbagetown we refer to as the "crazy fruit man" though we're not entirely sure if it's a man, a child, a teenager, or perhaps a female.

A couple of weeks ago someone threw a pear from one the neighboring apartment buildings that looks over the local pool where I do my laps and houses about 200 single units.  The pear came flying down from the high rise and splattered into a billion, zillion pieces upon hitting the pool side deck.  A lemon followed about ten minutes later and then security showed up.

The pear came about 5 feet from hitting a female sunbather on the deck and the lemon came about a similar distance from hitting a female swimmer in the pool.  Since the pear and the lemon, more random pieces of fruit have been thrown down.  I joked and said I wished I had been there when the fruit was thrown; I would have tried to catch it.  Hey, I'm a starving athlete, that's some good fruit he's wasting, seriously.

We don't know from where and we don't know from who but security isn't impressed and nor are us who use the pool.  The other day when the two pieces of fruit, the pear and the lemon, were thrown, security from one of the buildings came out and watched the one building while we all swam.  He must have stood there for a good few hours just watching the windows to see if this crazy fruit-throwing men tried to chuck anything else.  This is dangerous and with the increase of fruit being thrown down this is getting ridiculous.  

Today he, whoever "he" is, added veggies to the list of things he throws.  Today a full bag of onions was thrown.
