(This is where I ended up when I was inflitrated back in my old blog. But I think I like the new place.) The Capampangan expression, "dipa ning alti" is equivalent to the gentle Tagalog invective "anak ng tipaklong" or maybe in English, "I'll be damned." I myself do not use this expression a lot, but I like the idea of this expression connoting mild surprise and that it's Capampangan, which I am. However, this site will not be solely me ranting and complaining, (which is what I do best), it will also contain my musings about fashion and food and books and other things I love. This should be fun.
