I was so excited! Our teachers told us that we are going to MV Doulos. We are going to have a trip there. MV Doulos was the biggest ship that carries many, many books. I was really very thrilled. We rode on a jeepney that time. We were grouped and asked to have our partners. I was with Irene then. After some time, we were there. We were on the port. As we entered the gate of the mammoth seaport, we were all amazed with the huge boat. We can already take a look on the MV Doulos.
Hmmmmmmm…what’s inside? Does the ship carry millions of books for everybody? Are there canteens for us to have our nibble? I was really very tickled to go inside that vessel.
We then fell in line. The security team really checked everybody who entered there. After a while, we were already inside. We saw oodles of books. The tome were piled up on the shelf layer by layer according to there topics and headings. Irene and I opened and scanned all the books there. We saw the books entitled “The Purpose Driven Life”. There are also lots of story books and activity books for kids. I wanted to buy one for my sister but it cost very expensive. Of course, it is stacked on a ship. We should not expect them to sell books that cost like we are in an ordinary bookstore. It’s different if you buy there. The books there have a name. It is something to be proud with that you went there. It is considered as a souvenir.
I love the ship. Everybody was happy. But the most striking moment there was when we went out the book store and went to the lobby. We don’t know that if we went out, we can’t reenter there. So Irene and I just stayed on the place there which have a book sale. There, we found out that there are also books at that place. The books there are cheaper than the ones inside. We saw books and CD’s that cost 3 for 50 pesos. We decided to buy but everybody was already asked to leave and go out the liner. Irene told me that we shall have even one book from the Doulos. But we can’t do anything. We were too late. Everybody shall leave.
We went down the vessel. I thought that we were going back the school. But the truth is we won’t. We are going to the other side of that convey. Somebody will entertain and will have a homily to us. There were games and prizes for the winners.
After, we all left. We again rode on the jeepney that we have aboard last time. There, we talked and talked about the great experiences on MV Doulos.
That time was a very great experience- something to be treasured and cherished for the rest of our lives. I was tired and at the same time I am happy. I was very, very happy and contented for that day.
How I wish I can go back there for the 2nd time. I love MV Doulos…
