"Change is good always."

- Rubyahmad

When was the last time you received a mail, may I ask?
Handwritten, from your loved ones, friends or family?
Letters telling you about their lives..
Or a card wishing you happiness on your birthday or congratulating you for your graduation..
With their signatures at the bottom of the page etc.
Or better still, when was the last time YOU WROTE someone a letter?
And the last time you send someone a card?
Find your way to a post office to post it?
Can't recall any of those?

Sounds ridiculous, ain't it?
Why the hassle when everything is just a mere click away?
We have emails now, so why bother writing on a piece of paper?
Then after we have finished writing, to complete the process, we have to look for an envelope, stamps etc.
And do we still have to go to a Hallmark store and pick a card when it has a website where we can send free ecards to friends and family in no time.
SMS?? MMS?? Those are even easier.

But I love getting "real" mails / cards.
Don't we all?
The feeling is different, slightly.
Because for me, when someone writes a letter/card, [and then to have it sent via the postal service etc], it shows effort.
Such effort does have an effect to me.
The letters are more personal, exclusive..

I'm not denying the importance of the advancement in technology that we have now.
On the contrary, I am grateful for it.
Just that it slowly reduced the need to take a piece of paper, writing on it and get it posted.

What am I getting at actually?
Nothing.
I was reading this in zzeed's blog and it triggered me to write.
That's all.

So I guess, this is one of the changes we have to accept.

Wassalam~

[Phewwww~ Finally managed to put my fingers running on the keyboard and post something for y'all to read. The last few weeks of school days were hectic. And yes, people. School break has started! I'm enjoying every minute of it~]
