For the very first time in my whole life, I got my blood drawn. This milestone (lol) occurred yesterday morning. Of course, if it wasn't for my doctor's advised, I probably wouldn't have gone through with it... but the blood tests must be done. I guess it's just one of the ways to find out what's causing the several allergy reactions I've been having lately. Anyway, to my surprise, getting my blood drawn wasn't as bad as I thought. I even watched the whole process of it, from sticking this huge needle into my vein, suckin' my blood like there was no tomorrow. It was quite interesting. Haha. I only felt a lil' sting when the guy pulled the needle out. But, gosh, he filled these 3 lil' tests tubes nothing but MY blood. Though I felt fine afterwards... I wasn't feeling funky or anything. Just to think that the sight of blood makes me cringe... and how I fear needles, it sure didn't reflect on my reaction yesterday. It wasn't so bad at all. Gosh, I waited 24 years of my life to get my blood drawn! How pathetic is that?! lol. Now, come to think of it, I could get that tattoo I've been meaning to get sooner than later. Then again, that's a whole new story. But, we'll see... :)
