Blood donation to me seems a so near yet so far thing... last yr the campaign was held in sch.. cant donate cos just 2 hours before the campaign was launched, some stupid flu virus hit me! dunno whether it's the flu thing or sensitive nose. super IRRITATED!! n of cos i was v disappointed.. to think that i try to keep myself 'healthy'(w/o flu, no fever, etc..)today, finally there's a chance for me to donate blood, cos i haven fall sick throughout the last 3 mths. den my mum spoke to me. Though i noe her intention, i cant help but keep thinking that she doesnt want me to donate..She said my immune system is low(linking all my sensitive nose,cos i always sneeze, n whatever hormones stuff together), so she's just afraid that my body cant take it after the donation. But i've been waiting, waiting and waiting.. yet another 10yrs to go? after when you say my body is fine for donation..? imagine the number of people dying evryday due to the lack of blood! Im not a saint or wadsoever.. just want to do my part. If everyone were to think the way she does, how many thousands more will die every moment? I know i'll be really selfish to insist on going and rather irresponsible to do it without your acknowlegement, cos it's gonna be a burden if something really happens to me. I'll be so insensible esp when im the only child... For my parents, for God, for myself, i need to be still and good to strengthen my immune system before i go ahead with what i've always desire to do.('',)Then i realise, though there's always something we CAN control, but there's often situations when we CANT cos as man.. we are finite beings. JUST limited.
