No one writes letter anymore. I guess, in this day and age, it's so much more easier to connect and get your message across through e-mails, text messages and social networks. I'm pretty much updated with everyone I know so long as they post on their Facebook walls. Writing letters seem to be an antiquated activity. No one wants to make the effort, and hardly anyone has the time. I like old-fashioned letters, though. In this day and age, receiving one in snail mail gives it a whole lot more meaning. It takes more effort from someone
writing to reach you, I guess.
i agree. but i think, as outdated as it may seem, we should try to write more letters. nakakapangit ng handwriting ang 'di nagsusulat! sayang ang fountain pens! hehe ;D
ReplyDeleteKarek! Pangit na ang fountain pen handwriting ko as it is, kaya dapat i-practice.
ReplyDeleteI so agree! Writing letters is almost like a lost art.
ReplyDelete@gwacie: It is, right? Dumaan din ako last week sa post office, ang lungkot niyang tignan. Walang tao. :(
ReplyDeletesis, with all the available technology nowadays, i wonder if the kids now would even try to write letters... i agree with sis gwacie, it's almost a lost art..
ReplyDeleteI remembered naman during my elementary days. We were asked to write a letter to one of our classmates. Ang saya nun. Ngayon, wala na talaga ako natatanggap.
ReplyDeleteThere was this study by the way that typing is less conducive to grasping the content of the words than by writing it down. So better pa rin daw to write haha
@slickchick: It's sad if they don't. I think it's an art worth preserving.
ReplyDelete@Dianne: Naalala ko din yang activity na yan. :D Bills na lang ang natatanggap ko sa snail mail ngayon. :P Mas naaalala ko talaga ang sinusulat ko. Kaya naka-planner pa din ako. Mas effective ang old school saken. :)
Sis I agree na parang ang sarap ng feeling when you receive a snail mail kasi parang you would appreciate the effort talaga.
ReplyDelete@Joanne: True. Hindi naman sa walang effort yung ibang means to communicate, pero kumbaga taking the extra mile ang pag-send ng handwritten na letter. :)
ReplyDeleteAgree, it would reaaly be an effort because in writing letters there is no spelling check, no instant thesaurus. When there is an erasure, better repeat the whole thing again haha . . . It is just a different feeling to receive a letter esp. by mail.
ReplyDelete@pomegranate: Yep. I remember writing letters almost everyday to my friends in high school. Wala lang, pang-ubos ng stationery. Makasulat nga ng letter. :D
ReplyDeleteI agree about writing letters as a lost art. Papaano naman kasi ang bagal talaga ng post office natin dyan. But I do still use it for sending my postcards (postcard swaps). This is one collection I don't intend to stop.
ReplyDelete@pink: I've never tried postcard swapping. Kakalagay ko lang sa bucket list ko this year na gumawa ng handwritten letter na ise-send ko via snail mail. (",)
