This is gonna make me sound like such a pathetic new person (read: baby/child) but... I've never…read morereally sent anything by snail mail. HAHA. It's just that when I came of age, snail mail was already in decline! I think I had one mailing activity in Grade 1 or something, but that was that. Haha! So when my mom had to send a letter to the states that had to be by traditional mail and not just email, I jumped at the chance to go with her to the post office. Lol. It wasn't something urgent so it didn't have to be by those express mail couriers like fedex. It just had to get there and everyone said Philpost would do the trick, so we went to one. What surprised me was how simple and easy the whole process was! There was no line when we got there (aww...) so we went up to the lady at the counter right away, said it was for mail to the US, filled out a simple form she handed us, and then paid a measly P40 for the transaction. She got the letter, filed it in one of the cubby holes behind her, and we were done! We were in and out in 5 minutes. The letter was gonna get there in 2 weeks. And it did! A little earlier even, yay. Kinda makes me sad the post office is practically extinct though. But kudos to Philpost for staying in the game and transforming into a full-on logistics company! A reliable one, too.
