Dear Diary,

Yesterday, we went to MV Doulus at Pier 1 in Cebu. I was really excited that night before our visitation to a great cruise. In fact, I did not have enough sleep. I prepared myself very well for this event. Wow! It was so amazing to go there. It was a very funny day! During lunchtime, I ate as fast as I could so that I could fix my hair and everything. Ernestine, my friend had a shortage of her viand. She hurriedly lined up in the canteen store to buy one. It took her fifteen minutes to buy her viand. While I was on my seat, I could not help to scold her. She ate as fast as she could. After a quick lunch, we then hurriedly went to the sink. We brushed our teeth and combed our hair. Then, we found out that the jeeps we rented for going to Doulus, already arrived. We ran fast towards the room. We thought that the jeep would leave us if we will be late. But whew! Thank God!

We were very happy and noisy in the jeep. We had a race between the jeeps. At first, it was section Palma who was the first. But we overtake their jeep. Yeepee!!! We won. I really can not wait to see how the ship looks. As we entered the gate, we were very noisy. Then a sailor man came and welcomed us with a scold. He even scolded our teacher, Mdm. Logarta. I was very angry at him but all vanished in the wind when we were about to enter the ship. I and my company directly went to the bookstore. MV Doulus is a bookstore which travels to the sea. It is very fantastic and cool. I really appreciated the beauty of the bookstore but the books were very expensive. After a bit long period of time on glancing and reading upon the books, I felt like it was time for me to visit the comfort room. I went to the comfort room with my friend. Their CR was nice too. After that business, we went back on our way to the shop. But sad to say, the security guard would not let us come in. and then. I glanced upon a sign, “No Re-entry back to the bookstore”. This made me very sad. But I did not loose my hope. I tried to find a way to go back there, but there were no ways. The security was very strict and keeps on an eye to every person. I then lost my friend. I just went to see the views of the islands and the deep blue sea. I got bored. Then I saw my other classmates, Danica and Lou Anne. They had a plan on how to go back to the shop. It was to cross the bars without letting the guards know. At first it was Lou Anne’s turn to do it. She did it successfully. Next was Gener, a second year student. But sad to say, one of the guards saw him. Thank God! I did not follow them. Because if I did, it would be a great shame for me. I then saw my friend back. I asked her where have she been. She told me that she entered back to the store with the help of one of the friendly staffs of the ship. So I tried what she did. But the guard was not convinced. Sir Elmer then negotiated with her. And so we were allowed to go back to the shop. The books really attracted me. But it is just I can only read them. But I enjoyed a lot. And before we went down the ship, their crew gave us two books. At least I have a souvenir from them. Well I hope I could go back there again sometime in the future.
