a bloody post

Been using my healthcard lately, something that is not really euphoric. Yeah Yeah I used to be fond of going to clinics... I'd be lying if I said I never liked being in one... after all, I did date two MD's. But lately I have been having some health related issues that I had to be dragged to a medical facility. Had to go through some blood exams as the  doctor suspected that I am anemic, after seeing how pale my palm was. I have decided to include blood typing to the tests too, after all, that's a whole syringe of blood to be sucked out of my suspected anemic person's vein... I might as well ask them to utilize every drop of it. Unfortunately, this specific test is not covered by my healthcard, I had to shell out 170 pesos for it. Geez i could have just taken an intelligent guess and say that my blood type is O, after all, 40% of every breathing human is type O.

After 8 hours I was able to get the results of my tests. Yup, I am anemic and yes my blood type is O+. 
I have heard before that Japanese people match personality traits with blood types. As if I do not know myself well yet, I have sought the help of my ever reliable friend Google to find out more about me based on my blood type.

I came across this blog : http://ladygirlsblog.blogspot.com/ and found this entertaining comic strip about my blood type:




On a more intellectual and less entertaining level, I have found out these personality traits and found myself nodding in approval :
According to this article,Type O's like me are social butterflies who are often popular and self - confident.  Creative, and enjoys being the center of attention.  I can make a good impression on people because type O's are often quite attractive. It says type O's are organized .. I am compelled to disagree on this part. But it also mentioned that type O's are determined. It was also nice to know that people who share my blood type are stubborn people and my  stubbornness will help me reach my goals and that I could be a good leader too.

Self-confident and stubborn... a not so appealing combination, but I am enjoying every minute of being me.
