"Looks like room SEA323 is your dorm, Pip."

I continued to stand in front of the door, dreading the two flags next to mine.

"O, anong hinihintay mo? Red carpet? Sige, pumasok na tayo!"
("Oh, what're you waiting for, red carpet? Let's go inside!")

Tatay noticed there was a doorbell and pressed it.

"Saya akan menjawab pintu!" A familiar woman's voice rang out from inside.
("I'll answer the door!")

The door unlocked, revealing a woman with a similar hair color to Nanay's, but with what looks like three interlocking diamonds, and she's wearing a different headpiece...

"Ah, akak Katipunan!" She smiled and clapped her hands together. "What took you so long? Come in, come in." She stepped aside and gestured for us to come in.
("Ah, brother Katipunan!")

We stepped inside, and just as I expected...

Indonesia and Malaysia are my roomates.

They looked at my direction and smiled.

"Salam, Philip!" Indo and Mal greeted me with a wave and smile, before continuing to unpack.
("Hi, Philip!")

I smiled and waved back at them. "Kamusta Indo, Mal!"
("Hi Indo, Mal!")

Tatay looked around, looking like he was looking for someone.

"Ate Golden Kherosene and ate Zamrud, if you don't mind me asking, where are your husbands?"

Ah, oo nga. It's tita Golden Kherosene, Malaysia's mom. And tita Zamrud, Indonesia's mom.

"Oh, Malaya is with Singapore in her own dorm, helping her unpack." Tita Golden Kherosene told him.

"And Majapahit is with Papua New Guinea and Timor Leste in their dorm, helping them unpack." Tita Zamrud, Indo's mom, told him.

"I see," Tatay said and turned to Nanay. "In that case, mahal, you and Gregorio can go find his dorm. I'll stay here with Philip and help him unpack."

"Okey, mahal. But before I go," Nanay walked torwards me and gave me a small kiss on my forehead, and smiled. "Be a good boy, and enjoy, hah?" She cupped my cheeks. "And don't forget to call and visit us every once in a while, especially during Christmas-"

"Opo, 'Nay."
("Yes, Mom.")

Kuya D.P. called out for me from the door. "I'll text you about my dorm once Nanay and I finish unpacking, okey?"

Nanay finally let go of my cheeks.

"Opo, kuya."
("Yes, big brother.")

Kuya D.P. smiled and looked at Nanay. "Let's go na, 'Nay. These boxes aren't going to unpack themselves, you know?"

"Aha, right." With one last smile toward me and Tatay, Nanay left with kuya to find his dorm and unpack.
