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.

What do stars and sky tell me in life

I know that all people love watching the stars in the night sky. They want to see above something that twinkles. They said that if you look at the stars, all your problems and disappointments will vanish. It feels good to watch the stars and the sky as what people said. People also said that stars and sky tell something in life, in your life, in our lives. They said that stars and sky want us to know something in life. So if you going to study or observe the stars, about its composition, properties or movement towards the other stars and heavenly bodies. As what I always read in the newspaper, there is a section that consists of what we called horoscope. Horoscope is a forecast of one‘s future by stars at birth. Who are involved of this horoscope including astrologers, psychics, fortune tellers, etc? These particular sub-species used the stars of birth of a certain person to forecast his /her future. It may be a sad forecast or happy or it could be all about love, money, work life, etc. The horoscope tells us also about our lucky for this day like our lucky number, lucky color, lucky place or it could also be an unlucky number, place, color, etc. If I’m not mistaken, most of the people believe in the horoscope. Maybe because they found it right all what did the horoscope said for them it cam cause mood change especially if the horoscope said something good or bad. People also want to read the horoscope and follow what is being said especially if it tells something good will happen. But for the others particularly who are Christians they do not believe about this horoscope thing. Christians said that the people who are responsible of this what we called horoscope make /put/add details of what they thought about that certain star. And those details were just made by themselves. But I think people do not know because their mind focuses only on the details of their horoscope especially if it tells well. They cannot help to read their horoscope may be because they want to know what will happen in their lives for that day and either to prepare him / her of what will happen. If you going to ask me if I do believe in the horoscope, my answer will be a big yes even I’m a Christian. For me, nothing will be lose from me if I try it and there are times that I found it right what the entire horoscope said.

When I look at the stars and sky, they want something to tell but I just really do not know. But as the days, weeks, months and years passed by. Things are getting clearer r. Now I know that stars and sky tell that life must go on no matter what happened, what happen and what will happen in our daily life. No matter how difficult and hurtful are the problems and disappointments, we should still go on. You know what? I realize that all those things were true that life must goes on and we should move on from the things happened. We should also look forward to the things will happen and just laugh on your problems. And now I’m more confident to live in this world with the people who love me and I love most.
