Blood Donation (continuation)

Dear readers,

This is it. The day I bleed for mankind. Now, in case you are wondering if I have somehow gotten myself involved in some demonic ritual involving bloody human sacrifices, let me assure you that there is no need for such panic. It is only a blood donation and the most they can get out of me is probably a pint of blood. I decided to go with a colleague of mine, who suffice to say, has done her fair bit for the blood bank.

Eager Donor 01 (my colleague)


Eager Donor 02 (that's me!)

As you can see, I have a little bit of catching up to do. Anyway, while filling up the form, I realized that I could actually get rejected because of a tattoo I did in March. I consulted the doctor about this and she confirmed that it should not be a problem as it was 6 months ago. However, I was rejected because I took some medication for my asthma last week. I was officially out of the queue then. What a let down! Especially when I was so geared up for the whole event. Ah, another time perhaps.

Dear readers, I must beg your pardon. This might be a sight of me that you have never seen. I was taken by a whim. Yes, I was overwhelmed by a sudden urge to draw that I offered to help my cousin design a birthday card for her friend. FOR FREE!! I must have been struck with temporary insanity. Front Inside Ah boy, I sure miss drawing! But I need a project ... hmmm ...

Destressing 101

I have my own way of taking stress off. My true roomates (sworn to the allegiance of the A1-0-2 sisterhood) might know of it. It can turn messy at times but it is really calms me down. At this point if some of you are getting a little nervous or uptight, let me assure you that it is something decent. What on earth is it, you might wonder? Why, it's rearranging stuff of course. Every box will be opened and inspected and rearranged; not a single one is spared. These boxes for books, magazines, shoes, bags, toiletries, and miscellaneous items, in turn, will be piled up accordingly. It's somewhat like a major spring cleaning with indexing and proper labeling. Well, at least it is not shopping! Ugh ...

Heart Broken

My heart is bleeding. My external hard drive is not working! Gone the 9.2 GB of mp3s, project backups and not to forget, other vital documents. Funny isn't it, that hard drive was suppose to be my backup! Argh! What happened? Well, I had this "window file delayed" ballon on my system tray. So I took out the USB cable and connected it back. That's when things went absolute cuckoo. I saw the blue screen of death! Then suddenly, that awful message "dumping physical memory .... 10%". The number kept increasing and I freaked. So I restarted my laptop again but that was probably not the best thing to do, because now it is not even reading it! WHY?!!!! I have never been so heart broken before! Oh yea, okay, I felt the same when I lost my 128 MB mp3 player+pen drive+FM radio with a 256 MB SD card inside. The loss of appetite, the intense depression .... Well, I am going to watch 'Harold & Kumar Go To The White Castle'. Hopefully that would take my mind o...
