human body explorer
'in just seven years, you replace every bone cell in your body.'
this is an amazing video and animation exploration of the incredible potential our body structures are capable of achieving. the animation has helped me visualize the work of muscles, bones, and organs in a way i was never able to conceive of so clearly before, even after seeing Body Worlds at the science centre.
i've only watched the section on strength so far; i am really looking forward to watching the sections on sensation and sight.
the dancer and pilates lover in me is ecstatic!!

dare we say it?
i think it's spring.
look, it's a blue sky:
with a jet that passed by:
and the smog is warm:
i think it might be spring.
for your further enjoyment, here is a quick pic of my new teapot. i love brewing black tea in it, first thing in the morning:
happy spring!

i have to take a break *sometimes*
because job searching is so back-breaking, you know.
so i decided to do some fun quizzes, and found out what kind of learner i am (kinesthetic, surprise!) and what kind of dancer i am (duh) (i was bored, ok? the copywriting on job postings is so bland, i am now only seeing the world in gray scale).
but an actual fun one! golly gee! i'm a nekomimi ^_^__~
seriously, no surprise there either.
but i sure am cute.
what are you? ;)

hair
i commented on c's post about drew's hair harvest last week, indicating that while i can't donate to drew's good cause right now, i was (and am) inspired to also donate my hair.
c was surprised that i had hair long enough to donate. i saw my hairdresser today who fully supports my intentions to donate, and we talked about it for quite a while. the upshot is, i'm going to grow my hair a bit longer to donate more, even out my layers, and still have a fair amount of hair left to play with in a shorter cut. i like keeping my hair long right now, so after i donate what i have i plan to grow it out again, which means my hair should be shoulder-length (or just above my shoulders) so it doesn't grow out funny :)
here's a pic t took of my hair before we went to the hairdresser's today. the pic was taken outside on our balcony.
here i am with my bangs (a first for me!)
i can't believe it was warm enough outside today for me to be comfy in short sleeves!
so i'll grow my hair a few more inches, and hopefully you'll have before and after pics by mid to late summer.
btw c, how come we can't permalink to your posts? i'd have liked to but i couldn't find an option so i just linked to your blog :)
