(no subject)
The alarm may or may not ring at times. Nonetheless, I’m bound to wake up however ungodly the hour may be or how plastered I might have been from the previous night. Sadly the impetus to wake up and not waste any more time prevails over my feeble whims to stay in bed and pay off my sleep debt. I want to enjoy my life hence, I’d hate to lose any time to idleness or excessive sleeping. I look at my watch and see that I have precisely 5 minutes to get up from my bed, 15 minutes to figure out what to wear, 10 to devote to hygiene, 3 to munch on something and as long as there’s no traffic, 12 minutes to get to school. My actions are calculated so in effect my life tends to become predetermined and ritualistic. Luckily, I have friends who can offset it from time to time and provide my weekends with a semblance of spontaneity and insanity.
I consider myself extremely time-conscious. I’m the kind of person who watches the clock during class and glances over at her watch even while I’m engaged in activities wherein one is supposed to forget about everything else. Before, during and after almost every action, I look at my watch too see how much time has passed. Before and after opening the pc, sleeping, writing, going down to get a glass of water, paying for something, going to the bathroom and typing this silly thing up just because this entry is for a grade.
This penchant of mine with time is of course tantamount to my fondness with watches, which is probably responsible for my being time-conscious in the first place. I suppose that if you have some thing pretty and shiny attached to your arm you tend to look at it a lot. About watches…some people don’t see what the big deal is with expensive watches. Bulgari, Rolex, Cartier and Chopard what for if you have a phone anyway or you can ask someone else for the time? Fine, you can know the time without spending hundreds and thousands of pesos for a watch but if you’re like me and you believe that how you spend your time is an investment then your timepiece must also be an investment and moreover, a reflection of just how much you value that time. [So my reasoning is somewhat screwed up but then I have to write something (anything) on this blog just so EVEE!!! can check this and tell sir what a fabulous writer I am.]
Time. Timepiece. Timeless.
So here's what I'd love to have in my lifetime in order of attainability (?):
Swatch's BunnySutra. This is my short-term goal, it won't cost me an arm and a leg.
Tag Heuer Formula 1 Diamonds in black or white. I wish I waited for this one so I could have it instead of the Aquaracer and Link.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual in Rose Gold. Couldn't find the a pic of the one with diamonds around the face.
Maybe when I'm 60 and rich...
Bulgari's line of Lucea watches. Umm...If I had to save up for a watch like this I'd have myself buried with it.
At the end of the day I suppose that all these things, regardless of their price, doesn't make you any better at managing your time or making the most out of fleeting moments. Despite my best efforts, I still have the propensity to be late or have my will fail against the power of my biological body clock. Yet throughout each second, my actions in time are coupled with a trusty chronograph.
Ultimately, time has a cost which cannot be measured simply because it has no cost--it is an end unto itself. If you can't buy it, the consolation you have is to look good while being bound to it.
But admit it, you wouldn't mind having something gorgeous wrapped around your arm (especially you boys).
