Do One Thing A Day That Scares You

Of course, the one that inspired me on that quote was none other than my water bottle from ages ago. :) I broke the other one that is exactly the same but since I really loved the design, I bought a new one like months or even a year ago (I can't really recall) and it has that nice quote there alongside the others that said:

"Do one thing a day that scares you."
I think I wasn't scared at all. Just thinking about how possible it can be that the pain is intolerable scares me. But the whole idea of donating blood isn't scary to me.

But the thing is... after the donating event, I felt proud of myself. I mean, I have shunned injections and all needle stuff since I was in gradeschool. I avoided vaccinations... all those stuff. And now I'm sort of okay with it.

If that is not enough to convince you, well here are the 10 reasons why you should donate blood:

10 You will get free juice and cookies.
9 You will weigh less — one pint less when you leave than when you came in.
8 It's easy and convenient — it only takes about an hour and you can make the donation at a donor center, or at one of the many Red Cross mobile blood drives.
7 It's something you can spare — most people have blood to spare... yet, there is still not enough to go around.
6 Nobody can ask you to do any heavy lifting as long as you have the bandage on. You can wear it for as long as you like. It's your badge of honor.
5 You will walk a little taller afterwards — you will feel good about yourself.
4 You will be helping to ensure that blood is there when you or someone close to you may need it. Most people don't think they'll ever need blood, but many do.
3 It's something you can do on equal footing with the rich and famous — blood is something money can't buy. Only something one person can give to another.
2 You will be someone's hero — you may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father, a brother, or a sister another chance at life. In fact, you may help save up to three lives with just one donation.
1 It's the right thing to do.

 :) So donate blood, save a life.

Airbender movie and procrastinating.

LOL. Just watched The Last Airbender with the rents and sisters. It was alright. It's not like something you can say WOW at. It just hasn't reached that level. I prefer the cartoon version of it actually. I guess when you really try to cramp long things up in an hour or so (sorry but yeah, look at Harry Potter, Eclipse, etc...) You really can't capture the magic.


The poster is awesome though. :) LOL. My youngest sister likes Dev Patel. :p Felt like I saw him somewhere but I can't remember... I'll google.

ROFL. He's the guy from the Slumdog Millionaire. >.> Now I know. >.> He's also dating is co-star from the aforemention film... Ah... Okay. Okay after seeing shots from different angles... I guess I sort of see the small light where my sister comes from. But still, I don't crush on him like she does. He just looks... a little too like my other sister's classmate in HS. >.>

***

Moving along... :] I'm supposed to be doing my DBMS homework stuff. I've done some parts already, but there are still some left. And I need to have them done before Tuesday. >.> Hello. Or else I'd be cramming Tuesday night like 12 ish onwards. And that kind of schedule sucks.

I <3 sleep too much. Procrastination is a friend. :p

***

My mom's gonna be somewhere. So dad's gonna be watching over us. I guess this means like a more strict curfew. Ick. That'd be real bad. Sometimes I have the habit of floating somewhere that time passes too fast.

HEY it's unfair. Why does it pass so fast when stuff is happy? >.>

***

It's 2 am. Gotta catch Zzzs. Or else I'd be too sleepy to wake up early tomorrow.

It's gonna be a super busy and fun day.

Yay! Frosh integration today. :] Nyahahaha. Didn't come to work. Woot. Vacation. :]

Seriously lately, I'm getting bored with work. School is even more interesting than work. >.> Like WTF. I need to get out of here. Well, it's not entirely boring... but... well, 70%? :p

7/22: :) Did crazy ass shit by walking from our school to the main gate when it was raining! Flood yeah. And we were effin soaked. :)) Hahaha. Val is awesome! :D Thanks, Val. :) Then super funny stuff on the jeep. :)) With A.K.A. Sam Milby. XD Hahahaha. It's gonna be an inside joke to both of us now. LOLOL.

I'm excited for the integraaation. :) Lalala. Hopefully it also rains in the afternoon, so it'd be epically awesome to the frosh. :) I mean, the entire thing is well sort of a hassle... But when you get done with it, it's like you finally belong. And that's what counts. :)

Hopefully it's gonna be good. :)

P.S. Saw an ugly fat person last 7/22. Puhleaze. Go away. She actually had the nerve to go like super high heels. Ew. Ick. Sickest thing ever. I wish you the best that your heels don't give up on your weight. :p

Darlin, you are... the only inception? WUT.

LOL. Super fun day. :] Got to watch 'Inception' with the fam and all. :]

I was pretty much worried that I'd have tons of homework... But I just checked the groups and hoorah. No homework, test whatsoever. But good luck on Tuesday. That'd be like WUT.

Now I'm sort of getting geeky with the film. >.> My rents were like 'super confusing movie'. And I'm like: "What are you talking about? It was like the brainiest flick I've ever seen."


Okay maybe it's not like entirely smart like a documentary but hell, the way it was conceptualized... AWESOME.

I've never been really the one for action films... But I loved this. :] Totally brainy guy film. XD More more. :D

I was already eyeing the poster when I was @ the mall from work. :] And I got to watch it the same day. Lalala.

I'd be really happy till tomorrow. Well, hopefully. At least till... well, doomsday Tuesday comes around.

Students will be dying by then. Mass depression due to tests and deadlines. :p

Random thing: I think when I finally get to be somebody successful... I'll make sure that old people get to be placed somewhere really nice. Where they'd really be comfortable. I don't like them on the streets and working via car wash or anything related to labor or worse, begging. They're OLD people. They should be retired and enjoying themselves. Not working still.

Remind me. Remind me. Tell me to look back unto that promise.

Tearjerker moments.

When I was in 2nd grade, my mom would give me rides to school every day.

One day she came across an elderly man who'd walk an entire 1 mile into town to get to his house. He did this every day, during the middle of the frozen winter.

Every day, for months, she'd go out of her way to give him a ride to his house. 

***
The website of gives me hope really gives me the chills sometimes. Bigla na lang I find myself crying. >.> WTF.
I'm never really the type that has faith in people. I'm always thinking they'd fail or do something really really nasty behind other people's back. And... 95% of the time, I'm right. So you can't blame me if I have set this kind of thinking that people will always have some sort of dirty secret that can be really hurtful.

So I always save my heart. I trust, but I don't completely trust.

But reading these kinds of things... restores my faith in people. Maybe not in an instant, but gradually... I know it'll be built again.

ID. Jake. :] LOL.

They're completely unrelated. But so what. LOL.

:[ I'm sort of sad... Cause I lost my internship ID. >.> Gawd. So stupid. I don't even remember what happened last time I had it. >.>

And I don't wanna go to Boni Avenue anymore. Cause I'm lazy... It's hot... and it's dang far. >.> Sweating is so not my thing. Yes, it's completely healthy and all that crap... but the icky feeling it leaves you... DAMN.

Hahahaha. I just read my email. LOL. I'm subscribed to US Weekly... and... :] Jake and Vienna -- SPLIT. :] Woo...

Jake is gonna be mine. ROFL. What. She does not deserve him. >.>  LOL. Well, I didn't like her. So yeah. Got dibs on Jake. :] Loves. Super loves. ^_^

I'm thinking of my ID again. :c *sigh* Don't wanna go to Boni. >.> Ack. Of all the things. Why my ID. (Wut? So I'd rather have my phone lost? XD NO FRIGGIN WAY)
