“Urinate blood?”
I just peed a few drops of blood but I don't have any significant symptoms. I do have a mild upset stomach for two days now.

Any gross bleeding in the urine needs to be evaluated by a urologist. At your age it not likely to have a significant problem but you do need imaging CT scan and an examination including a urinalysis
Few drops of blood in isolation in a 28 year old male with no associated symptoms: The main possibilities in 28-year-old male are:
1. Nothing of concern - may be mild trauma
2. Kidney stone that did not cause pain, but injured the tract
3. Urine infection (not likely if no symptoms and 28-year-old male)
4. IgA nephropathy (a condition that affects the kidney filters)
Much much less likely in a 28 year old male: Cancer, prostate disease. If this blood in the urine recurs, see a Urologist or a nephrologist or at least your PCP.

He was there most likely that is due to a stone that you were passing, but you need to be worked up with a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis, and you also will need someone to look inside your bladder.
