“memory they’ll never forget?” haha will soshi be there too? i wanna go!!!!!!! but seriously speaking, the girls always have been known to take part in community service and do lots of good stuff..and it really reminds me of how they still are those nine earnest angels that i first fell in luv with~~~makes me feel compelled donate blood too ^^ SNSD fighting!
i want to donate with them! i wish i were there :(
i’m really really afraid of those freaking needles taking blood through my skin.
For the girls, hell yeah imma give as much blood as possible if they are the host of the event :)
wish i really could come to donate!!
I don’t give blood to blood drive people because I’m afraid of needles, but for these girls I’d be first in line. It’s good though to see the girls hosting something like this for a good cause, I’m sure a lot of people are going to be there. I wonder if any of the angels going to give blood. Thanks for the news ssf! :)
I wish I could donate too! D’:
This never happens to me, and I donate regularly :(
Hehe.
I wish i were there to donate mine.
This is just like SoShi, to care and to actually have the drive to do something about certain issues. This is one of the reasons why I like them…
I wish I could join the blood drive… Just have to overcome this stupid fear of blood…
