Tsinoy.com

http://tsinoy.com/
Tsinoy, the suggested politically correct term to refer to Filipinos of Chinese descent, comes from the words Tsino and Pinoy. As the URL suggests, this site contains all things Tsinoy, and then some.

On a slightly related note, my googling has extended to baiduing. Baidu.com is the preferred search engine by most of my Chinese friends. Once, Xiao Ding was trying to find my website by searching it through Baidu. He didn't find it. The search result had something very interesting though. Interesting to me at least. I found this: http://bbs1.beiwaionline.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=next_topic;f=3;t=000870;go=older

I wrote "The Language of My Dreams" when I was 21 and it was published in Tulay, a magazine funded by Kaisa Foundation with Chinese Filipinos as its target readers. It was also translated into Chinese (traditional Chinese as that is what's more common in the Philippines) and published in the Chinese newspaper World News (which my mom reads, by the way). It's nice to find it again after all these years.
