My mom brought me a little netbook to use, and it has this handy little camera built in. Got a haircut here in my hospital room in preparation for all of it falling out. The last time it was this short was in college. Being hospitalized has been like being born again. First you need to learn how to eat. Then you need to be potty-trained, then walk... I'm growing up fast!

The nurses here told me about funny cases in chemotherapy where patients' hair has grown back a different color/texture. I'm looking forward to seeing what I get. Curly blonde perhaps?
Hey Just-just, just a quick note before my next conference call. Have been working the past 14 hours straight... no dinner yet and it's 10:55. Next call at 11pm... Thinking of you!! We love you with hair or no hair, blonde or ginger (haha), straight or curly. xoxoxo
Hi Justin!I just noticed these blog posts on your facebook wall. Reading them, especially the first one, was incredibly inspirational. You're right, it's our minds we can control. Thank you for sharing your incredibly positive energy. I send you my *best* wishes and love all the way from Korea. Love the new hair!Love,Joowon
Hi Just-Just, liking your new haircut! You're looking well! Gu Ma says you look more like your Dad :) Anyways as Vena said, we love you no matter what your hair is like lol! Looking forward to see if you turn curly blonde haha!
I love this snapshot you took of yourself! How did you do that with that Notebook? I just sent you 4 more I took, searched for hours after my Skype snapshots but couldn't find them until I looked for solutions on internet....Your picture really shows your strong fighting spirit!Keep it up.Love Dad
hheeeyyyy! good to see a pic of you! is there a sketchbook drawing to your left?....
Love the haircut Justin!
Justin-My computer ability is near zero (from a scale 1-10). Did my last e mail reach you? Love, A Ellie
Hay it's so good to see you!
You look great!!! As handsome as your dad. Last time I saw you - you were about 7????? Great picture. Oh, your new hair.... how about a bit of every colour? That's what I had when I was at art college in London (one year, just before Christmas, I had pink, green and electric blue high lights but of course, the night before flying back home, I had a bottle of black hair dye to dye my hair back to "normal" before seeing my parents!!!) People in LA pays alot of money to get that (haha). No matter what colour it'll be, you're an inspiration to all of us. Keep well and looking forward to see what you'll post next.... Get some rest and we're all sending you lots of love.
hey justin. I am not acquainted with you, but a friend of a friend. i just want to tell you to stay strong sir.
Justin -- we are thinking of you every day and your little brother, Leonardo is so happy to know you are back on your feet, both literally and figuratively. your strength and positive attitude along with all the love and support you have from your family and friends will help you come through this experience a stronger person. we love you and can't wait for you to come back to hong kong! yellow, blue or green hair would be fine....i think Leonardo would be thrilled!
Hey Justin, you're looking good :-). Just wanted to tell you to be strong my friend.
Considering that the last time I saw you you *were* in college, you haven't changed a bit. I think having hair like Harpo Marx might be interesting though. Better than having hair like Veronica Lake--although in that case you'd probably look more like Vampire Hunter D.
Hi Justin, got your Mum's email this morning, read through your blog just now and truly admire your spirit and agree totally with your points of view toward life. I am sure you will fight a good fight and come through a winner. Love your photo you are as handsome as I last saw you.God bless.Love Auntie Fei
Hey Justin: The hospital johnny is very becoming!Thank you for being so transparent and sharing your thoughts, pain and knowledge. Now we know how we can pray for you and your recovery. Uncle Gavin fought through cancer and we pray that you, too, will have the best team of doctors who will guide you to full health. We know already that you have the best team of friends and family who love you and will pray for you faithfully. Came across this quote today from St. Augustine of Hippo (Is that a Fat Farm for zoo animals?!): "You (God) have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless til they find their rest in you." So, I'm praying that your heart and body finds rest in God. Molly has a joke for you and your aspirations for being blond:Q: How do you entertain a blonde?A: Write "flip over" on both sides of the paper.Q: How do you drown a blonde?A: Glue a mirror to the bottom of a pool.Sort of gruesome, but that's her humor for you. Hey Justin i hope you are feeling better so we can play a duet together next time i see you! I wish you a speedy recovery! Mayli
Justin: Just a short note to welcome you back. Good to hear from you! Your experience has been an inspiration for us all, and we're so glad to 'hear' from you again.Peter, Linda, and Berenger
Hi Justin, It's good to see you with a new hair-do! Hang in there, I'm praying for you and I am looking forward to have you in my house to listen to my piano (Cabaret!)Love, Yasuko

Curly blonde would be good, like Taylor Swift.
