i love this song.

it has the same question..

a question i've been wanting to ask. :|

Kapag ako ay nagmahal
Isa lamang at wala nang iba pa
Iaalay buong buhay
Lumigaya ka lang, lahat ay gagawin

Tumingin ka man sa iba
Magwawalang-kibo na lang itong puso ko
Walang sumbat na maririnig
Patak ng luha ko ang iniwang saksi

CHORUS
Bakit nga ba mahal kita
Kahit 'di pinapansin ang damdamin ko
'Di mo man ako mahal, heto pa rin ako
Nagmamahal nang tapat sa 'yo

Bakit nga ba mahal kita
Kahit na may mahal ka nang iba
Ba't baliw na baliw ako sa 'yo
Hanggang kailan ako magtitiis
O, bakit nga ba mahal kita

Ano man ang sabihin nila
Pagtingin ko sa 'yo'y 'di kailan man magmamaliw
Buong buhay paglilingkuran kita
'Di naghahangad ng ano mang kapalit

[Repeat 2nd Stanza]
[Repeat CHORUS twice]

CODA
O, bakit nga ba mahal kita

yun lng. :)

i feel sad. :))

red blood cell donation

Single Donor Red Cell
Benefits
                 Red blood cells help patients who experience blood loss from accidents, medical operations, or red cell abnormalities such as thalassemia.

Method
1. Red cell donation makes it possible to provide red blood cells belonging to rare blood groups.
2. The patient is able to reserve 2 bags of his/her own blood for a single operation.
3. Compared to receiving blood from various donors, blood from a single donor has less risk of infection.

Requirements of donors

General requirements are similar to whole blood donors e.g. 17-60 years of age, no ailments, excellent health, currently not on medication. Special requirements: Male      weight over 59 kg                    height over 155 cm Female  weight over 68 kg                    height over 165 cm - Hct value over 40% - Body index value under 25 - Donations can be repeated every 16 weeks (4 months)

PLATELET

Single donor platelets
Benefits
                   Platelets help patients with hemophilia and low-platelet counts due to hemorrhagic fever, leukemia, lymph node cancer, etc.

Methods
                 Platelet transfer is done by a computer-operated apparatus. Blood will be sent through a machine which will automatically distinguish platelets from red blood cells. Once the platelets are separated from the blood, the remaining blood components will be passed back to the body. A session of platelet donation takes approximately 1 hours. 30 minutes.

Important Requirements of Platelet Donors:

The donor's blood group must be identical to the patient who will be using the platelets. The blood vessels at the elbow flexor are easily identified. The donor does not take aspirin for 5 days prior to donation. It is preferable that the donor has been donating blood regularly.                  In general cases, the donor will not experience physical fatigue and therefore will be able to function normally. One can give platelets every 3 days. Blood donation is allowed one month after platelet donation.

PLASMA DONATION

Plasma Donation

Benefits

Plasma helps patients who are in need of lymph, who are in shock from scalding or burns, or who have hemorrhagic fever.

Procedures

Pass blood through a filter apparatus to separate plasma from the blood cells. Plasma will then be stored in a bag while red cells are sent back to the donor's body.           Plasma donation-500 cc each time-can be repeated every 14 days. In addition to being used as a blood component for specific patients, the donated plasma is also put through laboratory processes to create blood products such as Albumin (factor 8 concentrated, factor 9 concentrated), intravenous Immunoglobulin, hepatitis B vaccine, rabies vaccine.

WHOLE BLOOD DONATION

Whole Blood Donation Benefits
1. Pride of giving
2. Eligible for a free physical check-up every 3 months
3. Receive information about your blood type-both ABO and RH
4. The fact that every unit of donated blood must be examined through laboratory processes means the donor is being examined for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, AIDS, etc, at the same time.
    In addition, as a token of appreciation, the National Blood Center will award each donor a donation pin for the 1st, 7th, 16th, 24th, 36th, 48th, 60th, 72nd , 84th, 96th, and 108th donation.

Donors' Qualifications:
1. 17-60 years of age
2. Excellent health, with the weight over 45 kg
3. No history of hepatitis or jaundice
4. No history of malarial fever for the past 3 years and no sexually transmitted diseases, infectious diseases, persistent cough, coughing up blood, hemophilia, blood-related diseases, asthma, allergy, epilepsy, long-term skin diseases, kidney diseases, heart problems, diabetes, thyroid.
5. No considerable weight loss
6. No behaviors of sexual promiscuity. No record of drug use.
7. Blood donation is not recommended during the 6 months after a medical operation, child delivery, or abortion. In case of receiving donated blood, allow 1 year before giving blood.
8. Female donors are not menstruating or pregnant.

Before blood donation:

Get enough sleep-at least 6 hours

Stay healthy--free from colds and medications

Prior to the donation, eat non-fat digestible food

No alcoholic beverages 24 hours before the donation

To enhance the blood-purifying capacity of the lungs, quit smoking 1 hour before and after the donation

After Blood Donation:

Rest for a while. Getting up abruptly may cause nausea.

Drink the beverage prepared for you and drink a lot of water for 1 day.

Make sure you feel all right before leaving.

In case of dizziness, tell the officer immediately.

Take the prescribed iron 1 tablet once a day to prevent iron deficiency.

To prevent bruises and swelling, avoid using the punctured arm for 12 hours.

Avoid activities that use too much energy and cause perspiration.
Please do not give blood if:

You or your spouse has been involved in sexual intercourse with a male or female prostitute without using condoms during the past 3 months.

You or your spouse have been intravenous drug users.

You have tested positive for HIV.

all about BLOOD.

Blood Donation

              Blood plays a vital role in saving human life, and because scientists have yet to succeed in discovering a suitable replacement for blood, blood donation remains the most important means for transferring blood from one human to another.
              Blood donation refers to the giving of extra blood that is unnecessary for the body to someone in need. Giving blood is by no means dangerous because the human body normally contains 17-18 glasses of blood, of which only 15-16 is actually used. The extra portion can be donated to others.
              Blood donation can be done as often as every 3 months. This is because when some blood has been donated, the bone marrow plays an important role in producing new blood cells to replace blood loss to maintain the same blood volume. If one does not donate blood, the body will routinely excrete the degenerated blood cells in the form of urine, feces, or sweat. The process of blood donation usually takes approximately 15 minutes. 350-450 c.c. of blood, depending on the donor's weight, will be stored in a blood bag.

What is Blood?
                 Blood is the red fluid which, with the help of the heart, circulates in blood vessels throughout the body. Blood cells are created by bone marrow located in the arms, chest, ribs, skull, hips, spine, etc. An adult body normally contains 4,000-5,000 c.c. of blood. This can be easily calculated through the formula: total body weight x 80 = blood volume (c.c.)
Blood consists of 2 components, namely:
         1. Blood cells, which make up 45% of whole blood. They are of 3 types:
                 1.1 Red blood cells. Replaced every 120 days, they transfer oxygen to the cells to create energy.
                 1.2 White blood cells. Comparable to soldiers, they prevent and destroy "intruders" to the body such as bacteria, virus, and other toxic substances. They live approximately 10 hours.
                 1.3 Platelets. Having a life span of 5-10 days, they make blood clot.
         2. Plasma 55% of whole blood, plasma is a yellow liquid that keeps blood cells afloat. In addition to maintaining blood pressure and volume, it also serves as immunity. It consists of 92% liquid and 8% proteins. The essential proteins are:
                 - Albumin, which preserves the balance of water in blood vessels and tissues.
                 - Immunoglobulin, which makes the human body immune to certain diseases.
           Interesting facts:
                 - The accumulated length of all blood vessels in the body is 96,000 kilometers or 2.5 times greater than the earth's circumference.
                 - On average, a male body contains 5-6 liters of blood while there are 4-5 liters in a female body.
                 - Blood circulates back to the heart as many as 1,000 times a day.
                 - Young people's bodies contain 35,000,000,000,000 (35 trillion) red blood cells. After 120 days, 1.2 billion red blood cells will expire and be excreted while the bone marrow, much of which is located in the ribs, skull and spine, will create new cells to replace the degenerated ones.

i donated.

hi thar.

it's coffee~

i donated blood last Sunday. :))

NOVEMBER29,2009 - 3rd death anniv of my bestfriend, Joshua Balajadia
