sadia.

what a sweet girl. i love her. she's so adorable. (sorry amna.)

was too tired to blog yesterday. my hands were killing me after carrying asfia, stefanie, and andrew's university booklets and pamphlets. in fact, they're still somewhat swollen. university fair.

anyway, i was struggling a little (only a little) my bundle--rather extravagant bundle, that is--of university advertising. or "promotion" as they called it.

papers and pamphlets were filled to the tee in my backback. in my hand, was about 20lbs of more. worse, i had used five bags to ensure none of the contents would fall out. after all, i was collecting for a total of four people, which was much more than i thought i could handle.

sadia, being the sweet girl she is, grabbed the bag from me and told me to stay put. well, something along those lines--with slightly differently wording.

i don't know how it sounds on this blog, but it was an incredibly sweet gesture.

as small as this gesture may seem, it meant a lot more to me. such voluntary and random act of kindness. almost as innocent as a baby's soul (because well, sadia's soul isn't that innocent...) or perhaps again, i am a pessisimist.
much and greatly appreciated.

especially since the pile was about a gazillion pounds to carry. and more by the hour.

unfortunately, i had to cut into sadia's shopping time due to my enormous "burden" (as i shall dub it now). my apologies.

during the university fair, sadia, rizwana, and i were joking around. my memories not quite clear right now, however i do believe it was something along the lines of a broken back and suing people. my backpack was so heavy that i might need back surgery. and sadia would be the lawyer who would sue asfia, stefanie, and andrew. sadia would also be the doctor. she would a brain surgeon.

i'm not so sure what was so funny about that. rizwana had said something and then sadia had bought up the comment that we would be friends for a long time.

oh yeah, it was something about how i would age into some really old lady and sadia be the doctor that wouldn't recognize me. and keep in contact.

although we were merely poking fun, i had the feeling sadia meant what she said.

i'm always surprised when somebody says something that they mean. or do a good gesture, for that matter.

maybe there is hope in the future for this horrid world.

oh and, we will be good friends for a long time.
