Asian American Action Figures Homepage
Peter's site. This HAPA knows his Taiwanese history. Probably more than I do. But that doesn't say much. I must bow down to thee. Gotta give him props. Great idea. Someone should do an article on what his site is about. Check the Tsunah tour section as well.
Asian American Studies Center at UCLA
Faboo site. Though jen is mad cuz lotsa of classes aren't offered this fall quarter. Oh wellz.
Festival of Filipino Arts and Culture (FPAC)

Women Kick Ass! Women, Media and Agency.
"analyzing the representation of women in the media today. Especially with the increased accessibility of the internet, there have been new forums to create images, perceptions and stereotypes of Asian (American) women. This website is dedicated to how new areas in the media are oppressing and at times inflicting violence on women. But, the following sections also show how there are avenues for Asian (American) women's agency in defining their own lives through words and images." I worked on the A&E section. Check it out! Congrats to Lucy on the birth of ya son Joshua.

Ja'a
Bust me a robotech Mr. Luvjonz. They killed Buffy. hehe I luv the song Nandito Ako. Makes me want to learn Tagalog. Great acapella group check them out. IMHO I think they're one of the best of the Asian Am R&B groups. Cuz do you know how hard it is to do acapella? BTW they're such sweetie poos. Buy their "Outside the Lines" Album. They've been in publications like the Daily Bruin, Pacific Ties, and Varasian. I'm supposedly on staff for Ja'a (me bad staff memeber) but now that I survived my 1st quarter system at UCLA, hopefully I can do more for Ja'a. Had fun taking classes with Paul and Mike. Lars you funnah and Francis I think I have a cold *cough cough achoo* ;p
