//At the dormitory building...

As my family and I enter the dormitory building, I notice how the walls of the halls were painted with a deep olive green hue with statues of knights lined up against the walls. Each of the doors have three little flags on them, telling who are its inhabitants.

"Okey! Ano ngayon, Gregorio?" I asked my eldest son.
("Okay! What now, Gregorio?)"

"Asians are on the third floor, so I suggest we start looking for Pip and I's rooms there."

"Sounds like a plan."

While looking for the elevator, I caught sight of a familiar European empire. It seemed like he noticed me, too, and smirked. I felt anger beginning to rise in me.

Fortunately enough, my sons didn't notice and continued walking ahead. But Perla, my beloved wife, noticed and asked me what was wrong.

I looked at her and gave her the best reassuring smile I could give her. "Wala, mahal."
("Nothing, love.")

She didn't seem to believe me, but didn't ask any more questions.

After a few confusing turns, we head to an elevator and press the button for the third floor."

Ding!

The elevator doors slid open to reveal a hall up ahead. This time, the walls were painted with beautiful cherry blossoms, tigers, and what looked like Chinese writings scattered here and there. Little bonsai trees even lined up the walls.

We walk through the long, winding halls of the building for quite some time, until Gregorio stopped walking and called for us.

We all gathered around him, who was standing in front of a door.

Room SEA323.

"Looks like this is where you'll be staying, Pip."

I look at the door, and he's right. His flag is right in the middle of Indonesia and Malaysias' flags.

Aha, MaPhilIndo...

"O, anong hinihintay mo? Red carpet? Sige, pumasok na tayo!" Perla exclaimed.
("Oh, what are are you wating for? Red carpet? Let's go inside!")

I 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 Perla's, but with what looks like three interlocking diamonds, and she's wearing a different headpiece...

Ah, it's Malaysia's mother, ate Golden Kherosene.

"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!")
