Tiger Girl 虎妞

The idea of becoming a mother hasn't hit me until I heard the strong heart-beat of the baby today! OMG, we are REALLY going to have a baby!! The ultrasound shows that the baby is about 1cm long from head to butt, really healthy. One centimeter! That's about the size of my finger nail. This little thing has turned her healthy, active mother into a sick, inactive blob.

The doctor called this phase "the Blah Phrase", which is a very true reflection of my life right now.

-"Honey, you wanna go out?"
-"Blah..."

-"You wanna eat something?"
-"Blah..."

-"You wanna dress up and go for a walk?"
-"Blah..."

-"You wanna do the dishes?"
-"Blah..."

-"You wanna cook?"
-"Blah..."

All the bad feelings aside, I am grateful for the signals the baby's sending me. It's her way to let me know she's there, she is growing, and she needs some attention.

Bring it on, Tiger Girl~~

New haircut

I got so tired of my long hair that I decided to get a cut. Believe it or not, I've never actually got a haircut in America for the past 5 years I've been here. American hair stylists just don't know how to deal with the thick, stiff Asian hair, and the strange shape of an Asian skull :-)

I remember when my American brother Cody tried to cut my hair (he's a very good stylist), he struggled with it until I came back from China with a videotape for him from a salon. He learned that he actually COULD just thin out 2/3 of my hair and still not make me bald :-)

Anyways, I heard about this salon in Provo run by a Latin lady. All the hairdressers there are from Latin America. I thought they had similar hair to Asian's. So I decided to try it out. If it didn't turn out, it's okay because I have one month to grow it out before school starts again.

It turns out to be a very nice surprise. I wouldn't say it's the best haircut I've ever had, but I would definitely go back again. It's cheap ($15.00) and the Colombian lady that cut my hair was very friendly.

So here's the new look.Ta-dah...

This shot is for Naisi, who brought me back this beautiful dress all the way from NYC! Love you!
