Love Bugs take over Brushy.org, my randomness and meme blog. Although it has just been opened, the site’s content has been around since 18 January 2002.

Brushy.org currently sports a very cute and frilly pink and white theme, with yummy stripe embellishments.

RainNU, Shi’s domain collective, is launched today. I have had my domain collective in two other URLs before, but now I hope to stay in this short, sweet and unbelievably gorgeous .nu TLD name.

The launch version of RainNU has a dark blue and grey theme entitled Dusk. Somber, elegant, unforgettable – as my domains should be.

     Call Me Madame
{ A heart bled eternally at 9:51 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

My blog, the contents of which have been online since 11 May 2001, is now in its very own domain, MadameShi.com.

This site has been traveling all over the World Wide Web for many years now, in various designs, formats and services.

Call Me Madame has been automated and optimized with the very able aid of WordPress. What’s more, the theme has been customized and personalized by yours truly using a pretty pink Tulip skin. You can find me on the header!

My blog also has a dynamic Flickr photostream and Twitter updates badge. Both widgets are updated very regularly by yours truly, even when mobile, over and above the usual journal entries.

Journal entries as well as personal natterings, rantings and ravings will all be present in MadameShi.com henceforth.

Savor Girl Power times three at Townsville, my much-loved web tribute to Cartoon Network’s The Powerpuff Girls series.

A Desperate Angel takes flight at Aria, a rotating online collection of mp3-format music files. The media in this site could be from any music genre and could change on a whim.

The site’s launching design was inspired by a song of the same title by the Japanese rock band X Japan, with artwork by Reiko Shimizu edited into a maroon and pink spread.

     Angel Voice Launched
{ A heart bled eternally at 7:41 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

Today I activated and opened Angel Voice, my anime music collective.

This domain is for all my websites pertaining and related to anime music. You will find a wide assortment of pages on media samples, CDs, merchandise, lyrics and others.

“Angel Voice” is a song from the anime series Macross 7. This series is definitely one of my all-time favorite anime, partly due to its catchy, energetic and unforgettable music.

Angel Voice‘s initial layout is entitled Remembering and features Utena Tenjou and Touga Kiryuu from Chiho Saito’s anime and manga series, Shoujo Kakumei Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena).

Namek Warrior, our first ever animanga character shrine in the collective, is launched today. It contains information and media goodies on the character Piccolo throughout Akira Toriyama’s Dragonball and Dragonball Z anime series.

The current layout of the site consists of tight tables with grids, polygons and shadows, all in a black and green scheme. Inspiration is the song Dance In Your Shadow by the band Kula:Shaker.

     The Digital Album
{ A heart bled eternally at 11:36 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

The second domain launched today is DigiAlbum.org. It is my online photography portfolio, housing various outputs of original, unpublished snapshots.

I have been into sporadic bouts of photography love since I got my first camera many years ago. I am proud to say that I have taken photos with the simplest film-roll gadgets to the most high-end digital cameras.

This portfolio of yours truly started off as a plain, static HTML website back in 2005, with all photos archived and categorized manually. In the years that followed, the site disappeared and reappeared sporadically due to my wavering interest in maintaining its contents.

Now dynamic and living in its own domain, my very own digital album sports a clean, light floral theme entitled Cherry Blossom.

The domain houses samples of my writings as a professional author – essays, fiction, poetry, reviews, among others. It also provides a fairly comprehensive list of my published works.

The site’s design has a green and gold floral-inspired theme entitled Thirteen. Please visit and have a look at the brand-new domain.

{ A heart bled eternally at 11:30 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

SweetScape.net has joined the network of Beloved.nu and is now available for hosting subdomains.

It was based on SweetScape.org, my original hosting domain opened last year. I have converted the latter to a personal site, but wanted a similar domain still up as an option for my hostees.

Well, would you like to have your very own sweet escape from it all? Sign up for a subdomain account at SweetScape.net!
