Curtin Volunteers! has a semester-ly Blood Donation Drive today. Since the first day I started donating, it has get me donating almost every semester. This is the 4th time already, wow! It seems like an addiction but I dun think so. ^.^ Nonetheless, addiction or not, donating blood has a lot of benefits.
One, it is healthy for your body as the your body replenish the lost of blood with FRESH NEW blood cells that helps to oxygenate your body cells.
Secondly, your pint of blood can determine whether a person who is in need has to die to live a day longer to see their love ones.
Thirdly, it will uplift your morale after donating. Trust me~
Here are some picture to share.
Thank God, I have O+ blood which has a wide range of people to help.
By the way, O+ people are the most kind hearted people, they can give to all blood type but receive only O+.
Look at my blood. Luckily for me, they manage to easily fine my bloody vein this time.
They use to double-poke me just to get to the vein.

Although the needle looks big (it really is) but you feel zero pain. They have anesthetic to put you in painless mode. So, no worries! The only sting is from the anesthetic needle.
If you feel dizzy when look at blood, then, DON'T LOOK!
Turn away until everything is done and vualah~
