My phone beeped again with a message from my amiable virtual friend.
"How about an outing?"
I giggled. I never went on impromptu outings and that too with a virtual friend. The time frame usually had to be very extended, say a month. But somehow, I wanted to go on this particular outing.
"Definitely. That should be fun" I responded briefly before putting my phone on 'do not disturb' mode. With the friendly distraction out of the way, I continued battling with the voluminous textbook in front of me.

I had a test in two days and here I was, accepting to go on a date.
"Where has your over-studious self gone?" I said under my breath.
Soon enough, the outing was sorted out. The next day came very rapidly and it was then I realised that I hadn't made any preparations whatsoever towards the outing. What outfit do I put on? How do I even get to the venue?
Thoughts flooded my mind but I did what I knew how to do best; go with the flow. I threw on a pair of pants and top, wore a comfortable pair of shoes and headed out for the adventure.
The last time I decided to have some fun was during my birthday, which was over seven months earlier, so I took this outing as a means to explore, have fun and relax. Afterall, they say that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".
Just as I envisioned, it was nothing short of fun. Maybe too much fun judging from the fact that this was our first ever meeting.

I learnt how to ride a two wheeled electric hoverboard. This was the highlight of my outing. I realized that the hoverboard had a lot of physics to its operation. Learning how to maintain balance, fighting against gravity while still managing to maintain composure. I almost lost my voice from screaming the first few minutes after stepping on the hoverboard. I had an instructor who was supposed to guide me but he seemed to be in a world of his own.
"How do I control the hoverboard?" I inquired.
"All you have to do is free yourself" the instructor said
Free myself? The voice in my head screamed. Free myself and risk losing my front teeth?
"I'm sorry but I can't just free myself. It may take a while" I responded, trying to be as composed as possible, when I was clearly so terrified.
"I'd be here to guide you. Just follow my lead and do as I say".
"Follow your lead? Gladly".
Fifteen minutes into the supervised training, I had mastered the art to a certain degree. This was when the real fun began.
I slowly watched how things I had written in my bucket list twelve months ago got ticked mentally.
- Go on an outing; white heavy check mark.
- Play fun games at the mall; white heavy check mark.
- Get a sneak peak of the famous Christmas village in December; white heavy check mark
I'm a sucker when it comes to having fun. I would rather lay in my bed all day rather than go out and actually see the world from a different point of view. From a realistic and not virtual point of view.
After spending a greater part of my day with the virtual friend turn physical friend, getting to know new places, meeting new people and basically exploring, I returned home feeling really light.
This was a very needed and well appreciated outing which happened to come at the right time.
After I returned, I sat in the quiet comfort of my room as I reflected on the somewhat unexpected turn of events. The outing, initiated by a virtual friend, had seamlessly transformed into a day filled with laughter, new experiences, and a break from my typically studious routine. As I sat by my desk, the textbook still open, I couldn't help but appreciate the spontaneity that had brought me to this moment.
Love, Wongi ✨
What an interesting experience, @wongi. It sounds like you and your virtual friend had a great time. It would have been really interesting to read about what it was like meeting him or her for the first time in real life!
Seriously Wongi, this got me laughing 😂 as in you were more concerned with your teeth. I am glad you were able to master the act in end and you did had some fun. Going out isn't just about having fun but we also have the opportunity to learn new things
No noo, my teeth is very precious 😂
But That's right, I got the opportunity to learn new things😊
Thanks for stopping by🌼
You had an amazing time out. Good to know you decided to unwind despite having test around the corner . Every once in a while, the body needs relaxation. I have never ridden a hoverboard and am sure I would lose my front teeth if I do. 😅
😂😂, losing your front teeth wouldn't be an option with the instructors around😄

Thanks for stopping by 🌼
There is a saying that says: 'The best comes without planning so much.' There are situations in life that appear to us unexpectedly and become very good experiences.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Good day.
Thank you for finding time to read
You almost talked yourself against going. Look how much fun you would have missed out on. After some refreshing time outdoors, you can relax and study better.
Hoverboards and skates give me some chills. But guess who can't wait to try out ice skating??? Yeah, still me😅
#dreemerforlife
Ouuuu😂.. ice skating would probably make you freeze.
Thank you so much dear for stopping by 😊
Wow no wonder you had so much fun!
Oh yesss.. this was part of the fun😊
I went to this particular mall two weeks ago. You needed to see how those guys were asking me to come try it out. "You would love it," they said.
Errrr....thanks but no, thanks. Instablog is real.😄
My dear😂, I was just looking at the people in the corners with their phone...fishy acts😂😂
You actually should try it out, you'd live it. Believe me🙃
