Blood... Needle... -=[:donating.blood:]=-

I went to college today, to pass someone back his notes that I borrowed. Sorry for the delay man. *grins*. I actually bought him what's that snack... "Rockies" I think. Some biscuit stick.. Hope he really meant that it's ok..

Saw Monita donating blood at colllege. Decided to stay & accompany her. Later Jorpei also wanted to donate blood. Since I had nothing to do, I accompanied her too. It was her 1st time donating blood. When the nurse "poked" her finger to check her blood group, she said it hurt a lot. It made me afraid too. What about the thicker needle later, when ur actually letting ur blood flow into that small bag (i.e : in the process of donating blood already)? Scared of all these things. =p. Fortunately I'm not eligible to donate blood. ;pp. Also, we saw an Indian girl at coll, who looked so pale after donating blood. I think she vomitted. She also fainted.

Now, THAT is also part of the reason I'm afraid to donate blood. So, it's the pain & the what would happen after that thing that makes me fear it. A friend of mine told us, some scientific studies said that, after donating blood, we've to start donating blood every 3 months. The reason is, our blood cell (red), would grow faster & bigger. Thus, we would have more red blood cells (note: bigger size sumore!). So we might balloon up easier... Now, this scares me too. Already fat enough (I mean just ENOUGH for me), duwana grow fatter sumore! =p. But I do think that apart from these, donating blood's a good thing. We get to help people, and it's healthy too (cause the body produces new blood cells rite?).. ;))
