When to the hospital today for a blood test to check for Thalassemia. I have never heard of that, the doctor explained it to me today. Basically it's some kind of inherited blood disorder that causes the body to produce abnormal hemoglobins. Yeah, I think it's kind of linked to anemia. But since I'm alive now, it's either I don't have it (pleasepleaseplease) or I only have one of the gene that causes it. So if I have one, no big deal, I have to make sure that my future husband don't have it, or else there's a 25% chance that my child will inherited the defective gene from both of us and he/she will die/ need blood transfusion every month and stuff :/ On the bright side, it's another reason for me to marry an European guy. (It occurs commonly to people of Asian, Chinese, Mediterranean, or African American ethnicity)
Anyway, can I just say how much I HATE NEEDLES. They are evil evil things. Ugh. But the doctor who drew my blood was really nice. She taught me a trick, I just have to take in a deep breath when she inserts the needle and when she pulls it out. It seems to hurt lesser that way. It's either because of that, or the fact that I was looking the other way like a coward the whole time.
Bought a new shampoo today, it's for wavy/ curly hair. Really hope it works cause now that my hair is longer, it's getting more temperamental, it can't seem to chose to be curly or straight, so I wake up to it looking different everyday. All I can say now is that it smells good :-)

Dear hair, why can't you look like this?
