Blood Donation

What’s on your mind when you heard that words? Shocked? Scared? Afraid? For me, blood donation means caring and sharing. Caring because out there, there’s a lot of sick people who really need blood to save their life. Sharing because in life, we have to live with each other, maybe for some of us sharing blood with people we barely know would be the weirdest thing that happen. As i recall, since years ago, i’m dying to donate my blood, there’s so many advantages you could get by donate your blood, especially for your health. Today, 22nd July, finally i got that chance! Yippiieee.. The TUPPERWARE is celebrating their 20th Anniversary in the mall (Tunjungan Plaza), and to celebrate this event, they’re open this blood donation section. I saw many people were donating their blood, and i got this excitement then i asking one of my office-mate ical to do the blood donation and surprisingly she said yes yes and yes, woohooooo..~ We went straight to the specific area to donate, did the register (since this was my first time, i got the blue paper instead of the white), and they told us to go inside the checking room. In that room there should be 3 spots until we’re finish. First, checking our blood pressure, second, checking our red blood cell, Final, the blood donation. When it comes my turn, the officer called me then she checked my blood pressure, and she said “sorry, i don’t think you can donate your blood today, because here your blood pressure is quite low, 90, the normal is 100, maybe you could try it some other time”. I got shocked and sad because if that so, then i couldn’t donate my blood and sharing it to anyone who need it badly.. Hiiiks :’( I was looking at my friend ical and told her that i failed, but surprisingly she turned her head and she said that she couldn’t donate her blood either because her red blood cells is low. Totally disappointed!! (╰_╯) grrr !!! From now on, i will try to live healthy, eat well, sleep well, and do the little work out in my dorm..

Wish me luck, y’all..!!! xoxo
