Before I write about what happened I thought I’d give a quick background on some things that have happened in my family that quite likely had a big impact on how I dealt with things over there. My family and I have unfortunately experienced a lot of tragedy and heartache, including 2 suicides. To even…
Well ive been training at Eminent Air for around 6 months now i think! I really like the gym but fitting in the schedule was hard for me. It was so easy in Thamaka the school was around the corner from the gym and i could go after work and get a full training session…
Firstly sorry for not writing sooner so much has been going on but also nothing has if that makes sense! I have been in Bangkok for 3 months now and I’m not going to lie adjustment has been hard! And it has mostly been financially. Thamaka to Bangkok has been such a big change! I…
So Saturday was my last night at the gym I didn’t have a chance to be sad as it was so much fun! Mama’s cooked Isaan food especially for me (I was in charge of the grilled chicken) then such a lovely surprise a cake , a framed photo of us all that was taken…
Before coming to Thailand I was lucky to get 3 fights in a year. So far this year I’ve had 6 fights and the last 2 weeks were 3 of them. Now I’m always hurt after fights but I thought I’d just go for it! I’m moving to Bangkok starting a new job a new…
So after our last encounter in April! Gaenpet or her trainers asked for a rematch as they believe she won the fight! in honesty I think it was close I didn’t record it but she did ok in the 2nd round (winding me) but that’s it! So training was really hard I think actually it’s…
Well I can’t believe that I have completed a school year as an English Language teacher! One thing I will say about teaching is it is easy…..If you don’t care! If you care it’s hard, not the teaching itself but getting the students to learn. As many of my friends and people who know me…
Right before I write this I just want to say that I love most of and respect all of the traditions of Muay Thai. I think the Wai Kru is beautiful and I love that part of the tradition. I don’t know what I expected when I got to Ayutthaya, I wasn’t exactly sure what…
So as many of you know my last fight in February didn’t go so well, my head wasn’t there on the day, it was actually a horrible feeling that I can’t explain but perhaps other fighters can relate. I had this worry that I wouldn’t go back to myself and I know that’s silly to…
My 2nd Angel fight and dealing with grief away from home.
Before anyone reads this post I apologize for the depressing, mopey tone. I’m trying to write about my experiences the good and bad. Im not making excuses or looking for sympathy It just feels better writing it all down…..and moving forward which is what I will be doing. 2015 didn’t start off as I’d expected,…
The last couple of weeks have been SHIT!!! and I mean fucking SHIT!!!! first Monday I came down with food poisoning, I was so Ill, went home sick from work and was in bed (and bathroom) for 2 days. By Wednesday I was still feeling delicate but well enough to return to work. Then I…
I was thinking about this all day yesterday and even this morning so I decided to just write about it! Firstly I’m not a very good writer I don’t claim to be, I don’t have structure and sometimes my Grammar is bad! I’m sure people read this and think ‘eh she teaches English?’ lol but…
Now don’t get me wrong we have our moments for sure!! But on the whole there’s many reasons why I love Thai people but I wanted to talk about a few: They LOVE food!! Never in my life have I come to a country where basically EVERYONE loves food! Their lives revolve around food! They…
Well i have to say even though I made weight fine i expected it to be alot easier! I fight at 58-59kg at home so I thought making 64kg would be easy! But i was still sweating it out in a sweat suit and dehydrating. The morning of the weigh in (which was day before…
Its Pandamonium!
