A Love Affair With M/V Doulos And Books

What does love mean?Actually when it comes to your mind love is when a man and a woman fell in love with each other, but it is not. Love has so many meanings in your life. If I will say that “I love M/V Doulos” it is not what you think.M/V Doulos was developing gradually in 1914. It is intended to be signified as “servant” and it is alone of its kind. It is younger than the Titanic.Did you know those 6,000 information books are there? Wow! Over 19 million guests are visiting there every day.Some criticize that this is the climatic or the last visit of it because it is very venerable and its part, engine and etc. are gawky.Their troupes are from various nations around the world and one of its crew is from the Philippines. We should be vainglorious of that.M/V Doulos and its crew excursion around the world. Its advocate the citizen in every country. They help in eating program of poor people, clean the surroundings, give goodies and etc.

Last February 13 before the Valentines Day, we went there at the Pier One located near the Plaza Independencia fro there was located the M/v Doulos temporary. It stayed there last month I think January 26 and it will say goodbye to us this February 19.
We went there 12:30 in noontime. After some minutes, we were on the Pier One and fantastic it is the only kind of ship. No one can beat it.
We line up and no entrance fee for children age 16 below and P 10.00 for those who are 16 years old above. After that there was a stair that made me scare because when you look it far its just and ordinary stair but when you are near there its scary because there was two curved and between it a flat space. We hold steel so we can secure our safety ness.
Then after that nervous thing, we easily guided by some crews where the international books are located. I was impressed when I saw the books. The first book I touched is about a dictionary full of meaningful words. It follow then that I read some informational books. 100 units is equivalent to 100 pesos meaning one unit is equal to one peso.
I go out in the bookstore to go in the C.R. After a minute, I cannot enter because no re-entry is allowed to enter the bookstore. I was very frustrated on that. I’m not the only who complain but my schoolmate and classmate also complaint to our teacher.
The teacher complaint it to the guard but wasn’t react on that. He didn’t answer the questions. The teacher said to us that we cannot anymore enter because that is the rules and regulations in that bookstore.
We cannot do about that so we went down the stairs to go down and not anymore went to the bookstore. There was another school who went thee but they didn’t proceed to the bookstore instead they go up with another stair so we went together with them and we went to a room where they are programs. A crew guides us to the bookstore again and after that we went to the school and went home.
