" Write about an outdoor experience."
I really like going outside to play. Just staying under the sun, feeling the breeze, the sound of the trees as the wind blows its leaves and just having fun. I haven't been going out much lately though. Ever since I got here in the big city, I haven't really gone out as much as I used to. I stay in the house all the time, always in front of my laptop. I rarely get any sun, unless I go to school though. That's why I take every opportunity to go out.
Last February 13, I was with Kim, since class finished early, I took her home. I was supposed to take her to her house, but it was still kind of early, so she suggested to stop by the park over there. And so we did. When we got there, everything was calm. It was only the both of us there. There was a playground there. We put our bags down and sat on the swings to rest our feet and we just talked. After a while, we started fooling around and decided to make a video of all the random stuff we were doing. In the video, I did parkour and other stuff. We talked about random things that we saw there, and made it like a t.v. show. It was pretty hilarious. Then, the video was already about 20 minutes long, so we stopped. After that, the craziest thing happened. Kim accidentally deleted the video. I was like, "What the hell? Noooooo." 20 minutes of random stuff, gone. But I wasn't mad at her though, I was just tired from doing all those things, I still had fun though. After that, we just sat down on this tiny hill under the shade of the trees. It was still just the both of us there. We were just talking. It was very relaxing. You can feel the warmth of the sun, just the right amount of warmth, enough to moisten your skin a bit, and the breeze that blew through the branches and leaves of the trees was very cool. The place felt so serene. The sound of the birds on the trees and the wind blowing. It was just awesome. Not to mention, Kim was there. She completed it. She made it perfect. Just the two of us, under the shade of the trees, sitting, talking, feeling the breeze. I wouldn't want to spent that day any other way.
Kim told me, that not much people see that park as something special or something. That they just pass by it like it was something neutral to the. I told her that they just don't notice. It depends on the person I guess. For me though, I like those kind of places. It's places like those that just makes you so happy that you're in this world. It was just beautiful. For some people it may just have been an ordinary park, but me and Kim made it 10 times better. It actually just depends on the person to make something so ordinary, like a park that's been there since ever, into something special.
Anyway, back to my story. After a while, we were craving for ice cream. She said we could buy some at this one street. So we got up and walked there. On the way there, we decided to take another video of US walking to that ice cream place. This time, she didn't delete it. THANK GOD. The video was pretty hilarious and awesome. We posted part 1 of the video on facebook. I doubt that you could see it, but if you want to try, click this link Benedict and Hannah: Ice Cream Quest. If you can't here are some screen shots instead. :D

To sum that day all up into one word, AMAZING. It was just awesome, how the day turned out. I guess, things really are better unplanned. It was kind of like a mini vacation from the normal, hectic, fast-pacing city life. The both of us really needed that break.
