I rounded up some photos I've gathered to record my adventure in blood donation with Australian Red Cross. The first few ones, the first bunch, is from my first visit.
The first donation took ages from me and took countless times of the pumping machine to beep crazy since my blood wasn't flowing. The staffs (or volunteers?) Were so so kind and attentive enough they gave a box of juice so I would relax a little. I was determined. Didn't want to end my sesh before I reached my donation target.
That was the mementos that reflect the first time I went to donate my blood. I was consistent ever since, I kept showing up, never missed my schedule, and it only got better from there. My donation got quicker and shorter cz I discovered that being super hydrated woul keep a better blood circulation, so I always made sure to eat well and drink so much.
I started knowing the regular volunteers since I visited often too. Everyone was a bunch of happy friendly smiley people.
Just like the first time, the view from that pantry will always be beautiful though.
