The Trip I Missed: Star Cruise Gemini

As a tradition, the heat of the summer sun has made my friends and I to book tours. It’s just too hot, it’s inhumane. So on the 6th of May, my friends gave in to wanderlust and boarded the Star Cruise ship headed to China and South Korea. Yes, if you noticed I used a possessive determiner “my” talking of the said trip. After months and countless debates of where-to’s and what-to-do’s, I didn’t make it to that longed-for trip. (cue the sad face)

With my BFF Angelette in the trip, she was just too kind (or cruel?) to tell me her stories of what happened to the trip! My good friends, took this chance to fun up and momentarily escape the city’s hustles and bustles. Judging from the photos, I bet the group had a blast. Till next trip guys! Count me in!

Follow the leader! Anton Barretto leading the group as they board the plane.
