international tour

This semester is definitely an exciting one for us third year students. Meetings and Events Management! In this we will organize an event in which our skills and knowledge about the course will be applied. We will come up of a theme that will be the main focus of our event and delegates from different sections will be joining to witness the event. Well, so much for this one. In fact, we will be doing this for the next semester so we still have time to plan for this. Our focus now is our International Tour. This is the one we're all looking forward to. All the previous batches had experienced international tour and told us that it was really fun, though only few students join this tour because of the expensive rates. Some places they've been to were Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Hongkong, and Australia.

I was able to join our domestic tour last 2006 and it was good. We went to Palawan. This time I am hoping that I can also join the international tour. Though a part of me is already expecting that I cannot join because of the budget, still I believe, of course, that God will provide. The reason I'm expecting not to join is that I don't really want to pressure my parents. Actually, the tour costs a huge amount and I don't want to put pressure on them trying to find money for me to be able to join. In fact, when I work in maybe just two years from now, I can afford to go to different places. :) Right? hmm. However, my mom always tells me that I should join so that I can have that kind of experience. "The Lord will provide" is what they always say. We'll see what happens.

Just few weeks ago our professor in Tour and Travel Operations and Management had a bad news for us. We can't push through with our international tour because of the Swine Flu Influenza A(H1N1 virus). Of course, everyone was disappointed. But just this afternoon our professor gave us a good news. We are already having our tour on September. Yey! :) However, we must choose countries without the cases of A(H1N1). But then, I am not yet sure if I can go. It still depends on our budget. And another thing, I still don't have a passport. Hm. Tourism student without a passport. haha. Well, I'll just hope and pray for this thing. Whatever His will is, let it be done. :)
