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.

A Late Night with Family

Arrived at the cemetery and was instantly lost for words at how elaborate and pretty it was.
Even the sun setting over the property was super pretty.
Outside of the chapel room where the wake was to be held, they were setting up for a late night dinner and there were these large gorgeous flower arrangements that had been sent to the family.
Filipinos and food, it isn't a conincidence the two start with the same letter of the alphabet.  
The two go together and after the wake there was a late dinner served.
It gave every one the chance to catch up with each other and share memories.
It was a late night of family and food but it was a very sweet one considering why we were all there.  We were there to mourn the passing of who I was told was a sweet, gentle man, but it was so great to see and meet the great family he and his wife had created.
