My Love affair with MV Doulos

The UP faculty planned and decided to go in MV Doulos. A floating book fair which is a historical matter and site. Its first departure to a certain place (which I do not know where is it) was on the year 1914, it is two years younger than Titanic. MV Doulos was said to be the most successful international floating book fair. MV Doulos has 16,000 titles of the books they have. The cooks or chefs of MV Doulos serve 1,000 meals everyday to the people living it. So far, MV Doulos had a record of 19 million people visited. So it is really a great pleasure to step on in MV Doulos. Last February13, 2007, that is the day when we went to MV Doulos. My classmates and all UP students were excited happy as what I saw to them but I am not one of those people and why is this so? Actually that was not the first time to I have gone in MV Doulos. I have gone there two weeks before we, the UP staffs and faculty went on there. So I already know what is in MV Doulos. When I was there, I was really bored because I do not usually read book that is not my hobby. Then the time came that we must go, our service was a jeepney. We were there in MV Doulos, we fall in line before we got in through Doulos. Finally, we were in the place where MV Doulos sells affordable books. The place where the books are displayed was divided into different sections according to the category the books belong like the atlas and reference section, children’s story section, and others. All I did was just roaming around in the book place and at the same time looking slightly with the books and scanning also. Some of my classmates decided to go out in the book place may be because they were bored there. We went out and stay for a while then suddenly we had decided to go back again to the book place but it is too late that we did not know that we could not go back anymore there. Some of my classmates did panic; it seems that they were prison to a place where they do not know what they are going to do. Me too , I was also in the panic state and I really wanted to go back to the book place because I had found out that the book place was less boring compare to the outside place of it . But thank God, because a savior came namely Mr. Montejo approached a staff of MV Doulos and asked on that person if we can go to the book place. After a few minutes of a conversation between the two, the staff of MV Doulos and Mr. Montejo had agreed on of something. We went back down and go up again. There was a show held at the second floor of MV Doulos. The program includes such as games, small presentation and video watching. After the show, we went back to the place where the books are but after a few minutes, UP faculty decided to go back to school.
So that is my love with MV Doulos and books but I do not think that you could call it a love affair because I did not enjoy when I am in MV Doulos.
