Filipinas come in one size.

I'm not talking about the cookies in the U.K. called Filipinas (wow what a commotion that caused in the Philippines - the Philippine Congress almost asked their Ambassador to file a formal complaint with the British government because a private company named a line of cookies Filipinas!). I'm talking about Filipina as in the feminine form of Filipino - which is the word for a person from the Philippines (why it's Filipino and not Philipino, I don't know - but I do know that Filipinos have a terrible time with their F's and P's - always getting them mixed up).

I'm getting sidetracked....We were at Mercury Drugs the other night, a large drugstore chain (Jenny won't buy drugs from any other place; she says drug stores in the Philippines have a nasty habit of substituting - you never know if you're getting real medicine or not - so she only goes to Mercury) ..... sidetracked again. There were about 9 people lined up at the prescription counter waiting to be helped with their prescription (Philippine stores have another nasty habit of not queing...instead everyone spreads out at the counter horizontally, jockying/hoping to be served next - and there's absolutely no fairness to who is next - completely happenstance).....sidetracked again! Anyway, they were all Filipinas and not a 1/16 inch difference in their height.

Filipinas come in one size!! There are some exceptions, though, but in general they are one size. (whew!! I finally got through this post).
