Time is a beautiful thing that we really do not cherish enough. With people we love. With the work we do. But it's not that time is something to waste, it's something to enjoy. Each and every moment. When you drink tea. When you sit with your loved one. When you learn about something new whether from a book or your friend sitting beside you. When you look at the bark on a tree. When you are working to make a difference in someone's life. If you take time to truly focus on what is inside and out, you will experience joy from that moment having appreciated that time. You accepted that time. You experienced the moment and everything that comes with it.
Today I just found an amazing watch collection that took me back in my time. I remember when my father returned back from Lebanon with a watch I found called the Casio CMD-40. I fell in love with it. From what I remember this hadn't even hit the isle of Australia. Such a land that gets mostly everything last, but who knows I was a kid...
It was the coolest thing I had ever seen in my life at the time. A watch which had secret power. Infrared beams to kill screens and change things in the world. All I had to do was press a button and point - weirdly sounding like 'Click' the movie right now - anyways... I remember after a year of wearing this watch, the band broke! I was so upset and cried over it. It sat in my cupboard for years. Until only last year, I bought the original band on eBay. My excitement could not be contained. Putting that thing back on my hand made me remember how curious I was. How much I wanted to learn about everything tech and electronic. It was amazing. It was a little scuffed and I needed money so I decided to let go and sell it to someone else who would relish in its ultimate retro coolness.
I remember having the power in my hand, kinda like Spy Kids with those holographic watches which I always imagined inventing. It looked like this! This powerhouse would be my weapon in disguise as I used to turn off TV's in the house sneakily or that one time in the cinema when I turned off this huge movie trailer TV. Now that felt cool! People were turning heads! Or that other time when I went into a TV store and turned off all the TVs for fun. The looks on the sales guys was hilarious as they tried to sell to their customers.
Anyways - what was the best thing about these watches was the power to change the world in some way. To make it more fun. To play with the world. It wasn't just your TV anymore. It was 'mine' to play with! So was your VCR, DVD Player and everything else infrared - muhaha. All I needed was this watch!
And look what I came across today. The most coolest instagram on the net - https://www.instagram.com/waktujitu.
This is definitely a cool watch I would wear everyday.
This one makes me feel like a cool cyber upgrade to the CMD-40 I had. Want bruh.
I am not sure when this was made but all I know is this looks sick!
To tie this off remember this. Don't watch the clock. Be present in every moment. Every moment.
