Last March 2, 11 pm, Che and I went to the Five Star terminal. We're headed to Manila. So, we were already seated at around 11 pm but we left Dagupan at around 12 pm. We arrived in Pasay at 5 am (binaba nga kami ng driver dun sa place na maraming prosti****). We went to Wendy's and ordered hot chocolate while waiting for Tita My and Kuya Mac. We ate donuts to go with our hot chocos. After having that quick snack, we rode a taxi to their house. Che's lola together with Angel welcomed us. We slept for more than two hours. We ate our breakfast, took a bath, fixed ourselves and off we went to CEU Makati. Che took her exam. After taking her exam, we went to SM Makati which is our(my mom and I) meeting place, specifically at Watson's. Tita My sketched their house so that my mom can pick us up the following day. After that, we went our separate ways. Tita My, Che and I ate our lunch in the food court. Che ate halo-halo, Tita My and I ordered our food at Tokyo Tokyo. I bought ensaymada at Muhlach's and gave it to Tita My. After eating our lunch, we went back to CEU to get the result and Che passed! She got 94! *clap* *clap* She will be going back to CEU for her interview once she get her report card. Though she's not yet sure whether she will be studying in CEU or not. We went home afterwards. I went upstairs at once and watched TV, but then I didn't notice that I fell asleep. Che woke me up and I had my dinner. After eating my dinner, I went back to the room and texted until the shores of sleep came.
The next day, Che woke up earlier than I did. We ate our breakfast, took a bath, fixed ourselves and our things and waited for mama to fetch us. AT 11:30 am, she told us to go to Mercury Drugstore near KFC. We bid goodbye to Che's lola and Angel's mom. Kuya Mac accompanied us to Mercury Drugstore. Che's relatives are so kind and hospitable. So, mama, tito, Angel, Joseph, and Rap-Rap fetched us. We ate at Kenny Rogers located in Katipunan and at 1 o'clock we went to Escaler Hall at ADMU where the first part of the Open House was held. The Open House was held for the JGSOM incoming freshmen. I registered and my second name is spelled incorrectly. This is the content of the paper:Ateneo de Manila University

After I registered, ushers led us to our seats. I am seated right next to a Chinese mom. The orientation began by introducing the Dean of the SOM, Mr. Rudy Ang. He started the talk by showing a small presentation. The presentation is based on th movie the Da Vinci Code. It's a funny presentation actually. The paintings, codes and all. The presentation is named:
The Dean Sees Code
FM: Find Rudy Ang
FM means Freshmen, by the way. I like the show. In fact, everyone likes it! Dean Ang started talking about whether or not Ateneo is the right school for us and how to determine the answer for that. He talked about the famous alumni of the SOM, the number of students enrolled, students doing well (having honors and the like), the Junior Term Abroad and the China Business Study Tour, scholarships, confirmation and a lot of other things. While Dean Ang was discussing about those things, the mom beside me started a conversation...
Chinese mom: Did you take up a Math Course?
Jusz: Ano po? (yeah! I spoke in Filipino.)
Chinese mom: Math course.
Jusz: Yes. (I can't understand her question at first.)
Chinese mom: Which one?
Jusz: (after absorning what she said) I mean--no! I didn't take up a math course.
Chinese mom: What course?
Jusz: CommTech Management. (pointing at my course written on the blue thingy ADMU gave us.)
Chinese mom: Oh! Where are you from?
Jusz: (hesitant to tell where I came from.) I came from Pangasinan.
Chinese mom: Really? That's far!
Jusz: Yes.
Chinese mom: Is she your friend? (pointing to Che)
Jusz: Yes.
Chinese mom: Where's your mom?
Jusz: She's outside.
Chinese mom: Did you take the exam in La Salle?
Jusz: Yes.
Chinese mom: How about in UST?
Jusz: Yes.
Chinese mom: Are you the valedictorian of your school?
Jusz: No.
Chinese mom: You're good!
Jusz: (I just smiled.)
Chinese mom: So, which school do you like more? La Salle or Ateneo?
Jusz: Ateneo.
Chinese mom: (she just nodded.)
Chinese mom: What school did you come from?
Jusz: (again---I was hesitant to answer) Ednas School.
Chinese mom: What?
Jusz: Ednas School.
Chinese mom: E-D-N-A-S? (she spelled it pa!)
Jusz: Yes.
Chinese mom: Is that the best school in your place?
Jusz: Yes, of course! (haha, jusz met!)
Chinese mom: (she can't say anything.)
---pause---
Chinese mom: Are you paying a high tuition fee?
Jusz: Yes.
Chinese mom: How much?
Jusz: (I asked Che) I think , Php 30,000 a year.
Chinese mom: Not expensive.
Jusz: (I just smiled.)
Chinese mom: (she was talking to Che) She's good! From someone who came from the province and passed the four exams(four?maybe she thought I passed in UP! nyee!) She's good!
Che: Of course, she is a part of the star section.
Jusz: Sssh!
After Dean Ang's talk, he entertained questions. He opened the topic about that thing La Salle sent to those La Salle passers. He was funny. So, he answered the "question"---"Is that true?". So, there! After all questions were answered, we followed the schedule written on the paper given to us. We had demo classes and more talks about the different courses in SOM. After attending the IT demo class, they served snacks (Red Ribbon bread and juice). And we didn't even pay for anything. Senior ADMU students (management, I think?) were also there selling their products. After the Open House, my mom and her family drove us to the terminal of Victory Liner. When we reached Siesta, I bought a "chicken burger". *yum* ! haha! I arrived home at around 11 pm, I think? I was so tired! Though, I enjoyed!

It was really nice spending time with Che's family for the first day and with my family for the second day. Che's relatives were so hospitable talaga! They were so kind and all! Thank you so much to all of them. I also love the experience my Zzy and I had. It's really unforgettable. Yay! Bonding with my Zzy! Happiness!
