Yo!

Hmm.... actually I have an assignment due on fri, but, I dont have a clue on how to do it. I have donated blood too. Makes my head feels a tad dizzy. Cant concentrate. Anyway, welcome to my world. Ivan's world. I never kept a blog alive before. Just posted a few and thats about it. My friend encourages me to make to make one. So here goes nothing.

I donated blood today. They did a pretty thorough background check. Since I have been in Indonesia for some time, which is classified as a high risk malaria area, they say that they arent going to use my platelets. Just my plasma.

Believe me, when they say the needle is big, they mean business. If you dont take a look at it, it should be allright. Just like the small dog whose bark is very loud. The looks is deceiving. Doesnt hurt that bad. I know for a fact that it did make relative's face go pale when he saw it the other time. It tickles a little bit though when its in your arm. My friend, Dacip, he got struck by needle in both arm but he didnt donate any. The nurse said that his blood is too thick or something cause he was asked to drink more water the next time he wanted to donate.

Well, I felt nervous at first. My hands were cold. but it tried to relax myself. I tried not to look at the needle. So I look at the collector machine. The collector machine is the one that rocks the blood bag, with the anti-coagulant, side to side. Its to create a suction effect to suck the blood out, I think. On the blood collector machine they can analyze the blood flow, like how fast is your blood flowing. I tried to make my blood goes faster by pumping my hand. It did work, but Im scared that the machine will go off and falsely alert the nurse that Im bleeding profusely so I discontinue pumping my hand. I relaxed myself a few times and somehow I didnt stay in relaxed state for a long time. I was nervous again. the needle tickled my arm. It makes me smile. They collected about 470 ml of my blood, about HALF a LITRE!!! Thats a lot.

Oh no!! New ad for HALO 3 is out!!! Makes me wanna buy 360 and play HALO 3. Noooooo...... Must resist temptation. Master Chief gotta wait. Halo 3 has a new type of gameplay, 4 player co-op mode, whereby one player plays Master Chief, and the other player play as the Arbiter and 2 more elite. If you remember, the Covenant forces is split into two since the Arbiter found out about the truth of the Great Journey the Prophet was talking about. Man, fighting that GIANT ape with the hammer on HALO 2 is quite a task! Cant wait for it to be ported to PC! Its definetely going to be ported.

Do you know that HALO also stands for Hight Altitude Low Orbit? Its a term for paratrooper jump if im not mistaken. There is also HAHO, High Altitude, High Orbit.

Anyway. Time to sleep. Better to get up early tomm to do my assignment.
