Caged in a Headset

I like that one local commercial that tackles about how technology had bridge communication but somehow blocks real and face to face encounter which is the purest way to connect with anyone. How about tagging, liking and bringing a news or conversation personally to someone? This will seem to be pushing a little effort as what is perceived to be the now "conventional way" is how we do it with the aid of technology. 

This is something that I can connect as well to my daily life as a commuter. Be it in Manila or Singapore, I noticed that many people are always on their headsets while walking, riding the bus or taking the MRT. I guess people uses music/movies/series to help them get through their destination by playing around with time specially if travel takes long journey or it relaxes them...giving them better vibes and energy for the day ahead. Whatever their reason, I see nothing wrong with it, after all it is non of my business : )

As for me, I never like the idea of putting the headset from the moment I step out of the door of the house. I feel like every time that I am outside I should communicate with the outside world. I love hearing the sounds created by the winds when blowing some fallen leaves on the ground. The sounds of the birds is pure music to my ears and ALL movements that I am seeing while walking is a great visual for my eyes. Love smiling at the baby next to me in the MRT or Bus ride, some random chit chat with a fellow passengers is nice as well. This things and more is part of my daily routine which I would not trade for headsets as I value so much the connection with nature and people around me when I am on the go. I feel like the world is way too huge to be caged in a headset.

However, when the outside world becomes very crowded, I would then lock my door and turn into my headset so I could explode in beats and pick the bits and pieces of my shattered soul.
