Things that happen to me

Here I am, in my bedroom, on my very pink bed, in an even darker very pink PJs and my laptop on my lap (where else?). My nose is peeling. Thanks to that tanning session, my nose and my cheeks are peeling. Like you know how we make shallow incisions into tomatoes and then pop them into hot water so that the skin will come off easily? Yeah, tt's about it. All those hydration masks and I am still peeling, almost a week later. It can only happen to me.

I also donated blood today. A good deed. If I can't be a doctor to save lives than I might as well do something good with what my body can offer. It hurts just for that while when the needle is gg in but after tt it's fine. And today was my third time donating blood. I was finally able to look at my own bag of blood. Someone is gg to live because my blood is flowing in him or her. Isn't tt cool?

Some people wait till they die to donate their organs so that someone else can live. But blood, we can regenerate it again and it really doesn't cause us any harm. I strongly advocate donating blood. If you haven't gone before, don't be afraid. Just remember that one day, it could be you needing that additional bag of blood. It's not money. It's more precious than that.

Izyan was very happy that she passed the tests to donate blood today which I think is really cool. We were kidding around but I guess I would be disappointed too if I couldn't donate my blood. It's just one bag from us, but that one bag can mean life or death to someone else. I don't normally respond to SMSes for urgent blood donation but when the drives come straight up in school, I really don't see any reason how I can ignore it.

I didn't feel too good after donating today though, felt a little drained and weak. Adam was kind enough to send me home even though he had already made plans with WC. He had to push the gym session back. He is nice sometimes. =)

Next, I have a pimple on my chin. Just 1 cm from the corner of my mouth, on the left of my chin. It is one of those akan datang pimple where it's not red yet, just a visible bump. It almost looks like a mosquito bite but yeah, IT HURTS A BLOODY HELL LOT!!!

Tml, I shall not attempt any high-risk activities like writing my project report, or studying statistics, or reading Venus' book chapters... I have less blood in me now. If I do any of those activities, my brain will need all the blood then my body might go into shock and I might die. Because of lack of blood. Shall not even set an alarm, I shall just wake up when my body is ready and rest well for the night activities. By then, I should be as fit as a fiddle again!!
