I feel like a little girl who’s been bought a pair of shoes that she thought was too expensive, too fancy, and too out of her reach. But then one day, for reasons unknown to her, her parents buy her what she’s been secretly wanting without having the nerve to ask for it (not because she felt undeserving of it but because she felt it was too much to ask for).
Today my husband went to the nearest Apple store, amidst Covid-19 and having to arm himself with an N95 mask, and decided to buy the latest Apple Watch model — the Apple Watch Series 5 — for me. Apart from celebrities, I know of only a few people who owns one. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Yesterday after excitedly unboxing my precious present, I unintentionally hurt my equally elated seven-year-old son by snidely saying “Don’t touch it” too many times. I said sorry to him afterwards, and he asked me, “Do you really like it that much?” He couldn’t hide his hurt, but he also showed that he understood me completely as I acted like someone his age, which he probably witnessed for the first time. (Now that I think of it, I may have traumatized my son. lol)
Right now as I write this, I am listening to Up Dharma Down’s “Sigurado”, having selected it from my Apple Watch, which can control my iphone that’s hooked up to the speaker. So awesome. And no, I have not yet finished selecting the many different styles and designs of the watch’s wide selection of faces. Earlier I completed the three colorful rings of the watch’s Workout feature after I wore it while doing a home workout with my son. It measured my heartbeat and calories burned. It deserved a post on MyDay. It’ll be awhile before I get used to this. Thank you, thank you, thank you, mylove Arvin. ❤
