Travel for Compassion || National Red Cross Blood Donation || Club100 by @jobreyes24

"We live once, it's our responsibility to take good care, to enrich, to love, to give importance, and put the true meaning of life."

Greetings, the true meaning of life is to live with other people. Every 3 to 6 months it became a habit to me donating blood. It's my way to serve the community and convey the importance of Blood Donation.

Last February 23 (Independence Day). I traveled to Piadou Symphony Plaza to donate blood. At night I prepared by eating healthy meals and taking the required rest at least 8 hours. I ride a bus and arrived at 11:40. I then go for registration. Checked my blood pressure, body temperature and interviewed. I passed and I'm scheduled at 1:30 p.m.

I took my lunch inside the establishment. I ordered champon, a type of noodle dish from Nagasaki Japan. It is made of seafood, fried pork, and mixed vegetable. It very important to nourish your body.

At 1:30 I was guided by the personnel through the bus where blood extraction is done. Again I went into examination, the physician gets little blood on my finger. Through the machine, it was checked. Finally, the blood extraction. I lied in bed and she inserted a needle on my left arm. It took less than 5 minutes to complete the 400 cc amount of blood. They let me relax for a while and give special gifts as compliments. Yakisoba from Towada and multi-cable charger. Fortunately I didn't experience dizziness where some people might experience.

I spent and waste my time inside Piadou.
I reward myself with a lavish dinner. A vegetable set meal and a melon soda. I went home at 6:00 feeling accomplished and blessed. I made my fifth donation in Japan. Probably I save 15 lives. As well as I'm grateful that I'm healthy enough to be able to donate.
