Getting older...

Yap, yesterday was my birthday. Somehow, this week my body decided to really make me fell older...

Sick week

It all began on Sunday, when I decided to donate blood.

I wanted to donate blood for some time now but didn't have the guts. This Sunday, I saw the yellow ambulance parking just in front of the office I work in and said to myself - I'm gonna do it this time.

I was really scared.. I HATE needles. I filled out all the forms and the nurse put the needle inside my vein. It didn't hurt at all!!! Actually, it hurt even less then a blood test. I sat there, thinking how easy it was and that it's gonna end soon and I'm gonna head back to work. Close to the end I started to feel bad, really bad... They had to stop the flow. I was very disappointed. I thought I was stronger.. My blood pressure dropped and I felt bad for the rest of the day and in the morning of the day after.

I have to say that I sat about an hour in that ambulance and none of the people who were also donating,  felt bad. I was the only one with such a strong reaction. Perhaps because it was my first time. Perhaps for some other reason. I'm definitely gonna try again, not only because it's something that is important to do, and not only because I was told that the next time I might feel just fine, but because I also need this donation. I have too much iron in my blood and that's the only way to get rid of it.. So no, not such a philanthropist after all ;)


So Monday night I started feeling better. On Tuesday I went to work. I sat at my desk like always. Suddenly I realized I couldn't sit anymore. I got up and didn't sit for the next three days. Backache..


Birthday Day

Yesterday night I felt much better and could finally go out. Me and hubby went for sushi at Moon. And of course we couldn't walk by a music store without entering it. Hubby is a guitar addict :).

I am wearing : A Gap Tee, topshop skirt, a huge necklace from Betsey Johnson that unfortunately you cannot see in the photo, 24hrs shoes (couldn't wear heels due to the damn back..) and my brand new Kipling bag that I got as a birthday gift from the hubby!!! LOVE IT!!


Check out this white Ibanez guitar - it was made for Steve Vai

And those worn out guitars, they are brand new. They were made like this to look vintage!!! Yap, the vintage trend is EVERYWHERE!!!

 And a pink one, just for me!!!

Finally, I'm gonna say the granny words that suit me so well right now - Take good care of your HEALTH!! It's the most important thing!!
