Communication

Sometimes it feels better to let off your feelings rather than keeping everything to yourself. Blogging may be a good venting outlet for us to rant about our ups & downs but apparently I feel that verbal communication between human-beings is still the best remedy to the situation.

In today's world, technology is so advanced that we can actually don't need to talk to people & still send our messages across to the opposite parties. We can just simply log on to the internet, msning & emailing to communicate with people; sending numerous smses (i believe a lot of us rather sms than call. am i right? cos i'm one. =p sometimes it's easier to confirm stuffs through calls but we still prefer to use smses. why? probably when you type & send an sms across, you have no time limit. you don't have to express or think too much of your feelings as you are not going to talk to the person you are trying to communicate. you can take your time to think what message you want to send across before sending the sms. however, when you make a call, there is so called a time limit. you can't wait & think too long what you wanna say. you gonna make the decision like on the spot when the receiver picks up the call. some people may find it easier to present their messages through smses rather than through calls. something like that. i hope i'm not confusing here. haha.), etc.

So what is the use of our mouths? Just to eat & kiss or what? We should make use of our mouths more often to communicate with people. Don't you guys agree that we are communicating lesser & lesser verbally? We are relying more & more on the technology to communicate. Not saying technology advancement is not good but I feel that it kind of shadow the true feelings of human-beings. For example, writing letters as compared to emails. Writing letters may be old fashioned but it's sweeter & more sentimental than typing emails. Anyway, who writes letters now? I mean there will be people writing letters but sending emails is still the choice for majority. Fast & efficient. But probably once in a while we should try writing letters instead. The feeling is so much different when you write a letter to someone or when you receive a letter from someone. =)

I feel better now as I shared my problems & sorrows with some of my friends. Especially those that I trust. It feels good to have people lending listening ears to you. I'm not trying to bad-mouthing her by telling people stuffs about her but I do feel so much light-hearted when I let people know what's happening to me & how I feel. All I can say is that sincere friendships are really hard to have. You trusted someone so much but it ends up hurting you so much as well. Some people say if you treat others sincerely, they will treat you sincerely as well. But that's not always the case right? I believe that as long as you have a clear conscience, even if your sincerity isn't appreciated or reciprociated, it's already enough.

Four more days to bangkok. I gonna enjoy myself to the fullest. Not going to think about anything but just purely enjoying & relaxing myself with my two girls. We gonna shop & eat & shop & eat & shop & eat. Worries free! Hahaha. *grin*
