…mY jOuRnEy To ThE CaPiTaL, BeIjInG

One Sunday morning, we busily started our day for we have to travel to Beijing as what we’ve planned beforehand. We woke up so early ‘coz our tickets said it’s 7:12 am. We have to be there at least an hour before. We hastily prepared ourselves and walked out bringing our luggage.

Around 20 minutes after we arrived at the station, boarding started. I was so excited ‘coz it’s really my dream, to set foot to the huge and fantastic Great Wall. We happily looked for our seats and felt so relaxed after we found them. Elatedly, we were talking as we started moving. I felt so strange, I didn’t know why. Maybe because it’s a dream come true and also my first time to be on a fast train (bullet train as they call it), I told myself. I wanted to sleep yet I didn’t want to. I wanted to fully experience the pleasure of being on a vacation, traveling.

It is so nice to fulfill our dreams. We all know that everyone has his own dreams. We would be very happy if we achieve them. They’re what we are working hard for. Attaining them would elevate ourselves, and be proud of ourselves and be happy that we succeeded. These would only happen if we keep on keeping on, doing our best to make them come true. So friends, never give up in attaining success. Strive hard and move on every time you fall. Don’t be discouraged! Instead, be brave and confident. Life is like that. We all have our own sorrows and troubles. So, what I can say is, “Always keep on keeping on!” Good luck everyone!

…mR. dOuGhNuT




Hahhahaa. I was really happy to know there’s Mr. Doughnut here. I miss this place. I used to be in this place back home. I was so elated when my friend told me we’re gonna go to that place. I even asked whether they have it here. She proudly said, what else would you like to ask? We’ve got everything here! I just laughed! She added my place is so left behind. I even laughed the more. Yeah, but I like it there. Everything is cheap. But in big cities, of course, almost everything is expensive.

When we arrived at Mr. Doughnut, it was already almost 12:00 noon. Many people were there. We remembered t’was a holiday, May 1. We were just lucky we were able to find seats for us. After few minutes, people weren’t able to find even a single seat for them. We ordered and waited for a long time. We were really hungry for we didn’t eat breakfast.

When it was served to us, more than 30 minutes after we ordered, we immediately bask the pizza we ordered. We were like hungry lions devouring the food served to us. We did enjoy them a lot. After, we left and went sightseeing and window shopping, one shop after the other. We were really tired because of the hot weather and many people around. Yet, the enjoyment we had could never be substituted by any means.

As we were wandering around, after our lunch at Mr. Doughnut, we started moving out. I was just wondering where these people come from. The streets were so populous. The sidewalks are covered with umbrellas, for the day was very hot. I really couldn’t believe the crowd in just an ordinary holiday. I imagined back home, it only happens during a big festivity in a big city. But here, just a holiday, May day holiday. The place is really densely populated.

It was very hard to move from one place to the other. You would really feel very exhausted, for aside from the people, the weather, too is very hot. It’s very hard to find a good location where only few people go. Everywhere is thickly covered by people. So, we didn’t stay that long outside. We went to a shopping mall, yet the situation is still the same. But at least it’s not so hot. If you buy something, it would take a lot of time, you’ve got to make a long queue to the counter. We immediately went home after we bought some goods. We then slept at around 5:30 pm when we arrived home. We woke up at about 8:00 pm and ate dinner. We in truth were bloody tired. Yet we did enjoy. What about you, how’s your holiday?
