So I was saving out some web graphics today, letting my mind float to semi-autopilot. I guess I labelled an image of flipflops “slippers” instead of “sandals”, showing that you can’t separate a girl from her roots. At least I didn’t call them “tsinelas” or “chinelas”. :)
It's tough to think of a blurb for myself when I'm also on 
I don’t think it’s just Filipinos … we heard the same thing here in Costa Rica (when translated into English). At first, I thought they were saying “sleepers”, like an infant would wear when going to bed.
