Sharing My Blessings

A couple of days ago a distraught female came to my office looking for someone who could donate blood.

Her husband needs type A blood and we have the same type.

I looked at her worried face and I decided right there and then that I'll donate my blood.



my colleagues took a picture of me during extraction...

After 20 minutes I'm done. I went back to my office and resumed work.

Benefits of Donating 
  • It feels great to donate!
  • You get free juice or bottled water and crackers (I chose bottled water because I'm on strict diet) 
  • It's something you can spare  most people have blood to spare... yet, there is still not enough to go around.
  • You will help ensure blood is on the shelf when needed  most people don't think they'll ever need blood, but many do.
  • You will be someone's hero  in fact, you could help save more than one life with just one donation.

  4. Hi zai! :) sa una lang naman masakit, pag dumaloy na ang dugo wala ka ng mararamdaman. Basta sharp shooter dapat ang med tech para isang beses ka lang tuturukan :)

  5. takot din ako mag donate. nakakaloka kasi yung gauge ng syringe na gagamitin sayo. mababa kasi ang pain tolerance ko, mataas naman ang pain treshold ko and that explains it.. hihi!
