So this weekend was supposed to be about culture and purchasing some pirated DVD's. But none of that turned out how I had pictured it in my head. Thanks to the rain, I didn't get to drive my car to Toronto because I chickened out. Instead D drove and thank goodness for that!
I didn't get to see the newly renovated AGO nor did I get to purchase movies. The only thing that worked out were spending time with my UTM friend, seeing a free magic show (awesome!) and a UFC fight which I didn't anticipate to happen, but it did.
Also, I forgot to mention that I did donate blood for the first time in my life just this past Wednesday. I went with D because it's something he had done before. And of course, it's a for a good cause and I should really do more for this planet before I die. Initially I was nervous about it because of what my mother had warned me with. Basically, one of her co-workers went to donate blood and when she came back for work she fainted. But thankfully, everything went smoothly with my donation process. I got to relax on a huge lazy-boy chair, drank orange juice and ate a stale cookie. Unfortunately for D this was his idea to go and I just wanted to tag along to experience it. He was more excited about it than I was, but to his disappointment he was denied to donate his own blood. Only because there is a rule to donating blood, and it's that if you have left the North American soil you cannot donate for at least 12 months. D went back to India last December, hence being denied to donate blood until January 2009. The oddest part of that whole experience was when the nurse made me hold the bag of blood I donated. It was still warm and that was mainly what creeped me out. This may indeed be something I will do annually from now on. I also cannot wait to find out what my blood type is when I received my blood donor card from the mail.
This whole week has been odd but in a good way...
