Naalala ko ang lumang paraan ng ligawan at pagpapaabkt ng balita sa mga sa buhay habang tayo ay nasa malayong lugar . Tulad ko,ma ginang bansa, hindi pa uso ang social media at mobile phone. Tanging paraan lambing ay ang pagpapadala ng sulat. Kung sa Pulipinas isang linggo lang ang hibintayin at makarating na ito. Ngunit pag galing Pilipinas at papunta ng Saudi Arabia , Kay hirap,, pay hindi kukunin sa may ari ng P.O. Box ay aabutin ng tatlong buwan bago malaman na may sulat kang matanggap.

Kung ang balita ay nagkasakit ang pamilya , hindi mo malaman kaagad . Huli na namin malaman ang mga katayuan sa mga tao sa aming bahay. Maraming taon ang hinihintay na mabilisan commication na tulad ngayon. Agad na ngayon malaman ang mga katayuan at mga bagong pangyayari sa mga buhay natin Iba na ang noon at ngayon.

Pero ang lahat na pagkakaiba, ang lumang pagsusulat ay hinahanap ko pa rin. Iba ang kilig sa lumang sulat sa mga taong nangliligaw noon. Kailangan pang ipaunawa ng maige at ipakita muna ang sincerity ng damdamin ng isang tao sa pamagitan ng pagsulat ang laman ng puso. Sa pamamagitan ng pagsulat ay maipadama ang tunay na istorya ng isang bagay ay pwedi pa natin itong itago sa isang lugar at babalikan sa pagbasa.

I remembered the old way of courting and sharing news with those in our lives while we were far away. Like me, ladies, social media and mobile phones were not yet popular. The only way to be affectionate was to send a letter. If in the Philippines it only takes a week to arrive. But when coming from the Philippines and going to Saudi Arabia, How difficult,, even if you don't get it from the owner of the P.O. Box, it will take three months before you know that you have received a letter.

If the news is that the family is sick, you don't know right away. It's too late for us to know the status of the people in our house. Many years have been waiting for quick communication like today. Now we can immediately know the status and new events in our lives. The past and the present are different.

But for all the differences, I still look for the old writing. The thrill of the old letter to the people who were courting back then was different. It is necessary to first understand and show the sincerity of a person's feelings through writing the contents of the heart. Through writing, we can feel the true story of something. We can even hide it somewhere and come back to it when reading.

Thank you so much!

I like the letter as well and am still writing them. If you like I can send you one and we'll see if it will ever arrive.
What we write on paper will last which isn't the case with a PC that crashes, all those quickly emails written and some of those great ones. I saved a few, good for publishing and rereading. What if there is no longer the possibility of internet, power?
I will see if I can gather them (most likely weeks if not months of work) and print them myself. Who knows I save them in a box with a ribbon.

In the old days we sent telegrams if the message should be fast and we made appointments at phone booths. Al this no longer exists.

Yes my friend I will cherish it forever. I will find the address keep the most the P.O Box of my Boss. I smile now and could not imagine how and what to feel receiving a letter again and I will make a post soon😇😇😇. I will check in my file the address and I will surely reply a letter too. The last person who wrote a letter was from my father. He had a bad penmanship but he always wrote me a letter . On my God I miss my parent.
How are you now, Have a great time my friend😇

Yes I remember telegram too and the last telegram was about the death of my uncle who was died after months of his graduation. He was 22 years old that time Ana I was 13 years old.

About the telephone booth, I used it here in Saudi Arabia in my first 10 years staying in this place if we want to hear the voice of my family. It was too expensive before.

 yesterday 

I remember too how I saved all those small coins to make calls on Friday to check on family/friends. Phone calls always been expensive till the mobile phone was introduced. At that time buying credit was cheaper as the monthly fee for a landline where making phone calls wasn't included. We had to pay extra for that.
Since I no longer call family/friends I do not even call 5 times per year.

One of the reason I got mad too to my husband, I told him to call me in the landline telephone of my bus because it was cheaper to call me from Philippines booth to my employers resident telephone number. I felt disappointed that they didn't call as peru request. I really missed the voice of my son.
There was no reason not to call because I sent money to call me back.

So they kept the money and said it was too much trouble.
