Saturday Night Blog 2
Dear LJ,
I cannot sleep, i feel so bored and i know i should be typing these words as input to our GLOBDEV paper, but here I'm writing to you. Aren't you touched? :O
Anyway, I just watched XXX in channel 2 and there's this case about blood banks buying blood from people who shouldn't be donating or selling their blood, namely those who are infected with diseases such as HIV. So there's this gay person with HIV who donated 3 times because they don't even bother to check whether your blood is safe or not! :O Yuhh, shame on the should-be-closed-by-now-blood-bank, not only because they are heartless but because they really should be closed by now because commercial blood banks are not allowed to exist anymore! (courtesy of the supreme court) and also, shame on that person! My mom's infuriated, I'm not - well not that i think what he did was right, but he's on the right track of redemption by doing the expose although it will never be enough to fix those lives he has purposely broken (because he was clearly aware he shouldn't do that and he's not even in desperate need of money! Geez.), and probably ended (in figurative and literal sense). People should really think twice before they commit stupid, deadly mistakes. Shame on them.
Still about blood.
I am excited to donate blood after seeing the clip a while ago =)) Uhhuh. I have never donated blood and I admire those who have courage to do so. I am afraid of needles... to begin with. And at age 19, I DON'T EVEN KNOW MY BLOOD TYPE!!! =O (I'm guessing my parents don't know either cuz if they did, i would know by now.) Okay, short story. When I was still a small girl, I was almost there... very close to knowing what my blood type is. I just have to give the medical people a drop of blood upon pricking my index finger with a small lancet. So they pricked. And the chicken that I am with needles, I think my body froze and refused to bleed =)) Oh geez. I still remember pressing my finger very hard to force the blood to come out but it didn't - not even a drop. I didn't want to do it again so my quest ended there. I never had the chance to do it again. Soooo I'm thinking, if I donate blood, I can know it (or I still cant? :O) at the expense of having to prick (that's an understatement) myself with a much bigger needle. Huhu =/ I attempted once actually, but I had my period then. Too bad. It could've been an awesome experience (Hahaha who am i kidding =P) But we all have to face our fears, don't we? :)
I will, I promise. =)
Or Mr. Cullen can just bite me. Hahaha.
