A Love Affair in MV Doulos and the Books

A love affair in MV Doulos and the Books

If television is the tool for entertainment, then book is the tool for a wider knowledge.
Everything in this world that surrounds us gives us knowledge. We may not know that by just observing things, we are developing our minds and forming so many questions that lead to our curiosity and we are going to find some ways to know why it happened and how it’s like that. By that simple way, we are learning to educate ourselves and observing is just one way to give us more information about things that we want to know. One way also is the most common to all and that is reading. Through reading, it enhances our reading skills; on how deep our imaginations are; and most of all educates us. Book is the most important thing when we want to learn. It is where we sometimes depend on through reading. Book are found everywhere especially in schools but not to mention that our government has not comply enough books for the public students and I hope someday this problem could be solved. We sometimes want to read book when we want to; as part of our hobby and many reasons. Even though most students now depend on the Internet for their assignments and projects, the most pure source of information are the books.
A great opportunity came when the school decided to let the students come to the ship also known as MV Doulos bringing lots of books. For me it was an opportunity because the books in there are sometimes not available in our library and even though its in bookstores but you cannot read it . In MV Doulos, you are free to read the books and you can even buy it if you have your money. The view was nice and I was well entertained by the people who were in-charge. The people in-charge were nice to us and the others also but they were very strict . I could say that they were very strict because after you have read the books and tour around the ship just where the books were, you may go out but you can never go back again to that place and I think I could say that everything was just for the security of the people in it. I enjoyed reading the books and somehow got afraid because of the mving of the ship even though it was not really moving in the sea. I was afraid that maybe my things would fall and when i was there to watch the sea, I could not take on looking on it because it was really deep because the shpo was so big. Some of the books were expensive and there are aslo the cheap ones like the puzzles; sudoku in a pocket-size books for only 50 pesos but I have not bring my money at that time so I have not able to buy even just the cheap one. Of al the books, i like the best wasthe book where you are going to spy the thing required. What I mean is the book where you are going to find a thing in a page where there are so many things in the page. I was so happy having my tour in MV Doulos with my classmates and friends who are always laughing just to make each of us smile and forget problems. After we have read the books, we went to the exit and never went back to the exit again. Almost of us already went outside and we decided to go down the ship with the advice of our teacher. The most unforgettable thing that happened to me in MV Doulos was when I was taking the ladders up coz i think i have a phobia in the sea coz I was really afraid that I neeed the help of Chanel to hold me and I was taking steps slowly but it was a good experience. The most unforgettable experience also was when we went o the ship for the second time adnd we went to a room where there are many students squating adnd I think having an activity. We went inside and joined them. We watched a film about the history of MV Doulos and there were contests and the representatives from the hies were Paolo Valley; Reiner Siega and in the contest that Reiner joined , he won and we were so proud about that. After all the things we did, we were given some books that served as souveneirs and iI waqs also happy aboutthat at least have something to remember about my experience in MV Doulos.
This is the most enjoyable day I ever had in a ship with a lots of books surrounding you. I think, MV Doulos is the best “book-carrier” because it gives every people and even students a chance to feel free to read books in a shi and this kind of experience is really fun and great and most of all memorable. I was thankful that I was given the opportunity to tour and visit this kind of place with a lots of books. This is a thing I could not frorget for it really helped a lot to students like me because while you are on the ship, you are having fun and somehow learning because you are free to read the books but you don't have the right to destroy it of course. I could now really say that " LEARNING is FUN".
