at first puro clockwise lang din nakikita ko pero, figured out how to make it turn clockwise and counter. all you have to do is....

cover your left eye to make it go counter-clockwise.
cover your right eye to make it go back to clockwise.

this is to use different parts of the brain to process the animation.

although, dubious din ako sa listed brain functions. im a programmer and that should make me see counter-clockwise always since im supposed to be logic and detail oriented.
