oral vs. written

Trying to look back on which of the two I prefer, I seem to lean towards oral. Most of the time saying, "Sana oral nalang kesa paper..". Why? Because I feel like it is more spontaneous, lively in a way, and it shows my real emotion and probably eagerness towards the topic. 

I seem to say so much more, compared to how I write. I can't always say what I want to say through writing, I feel like I always need to emphasize things through facial expression, hand gestures or BOTH. 

So in a way, I find oral communication much more true or sincere, since I get to see how the person reacts while he's talking, I will be able to see his body language therefore adding up to how I can read or interpret his message. 

Then again, it's not bad for you to send me letters. *wink* ;]
