{ Words screamed under Additions }

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

I started building this website around ten years ago and finally decided to give it its own place online – and under my very own collective.

     Aria Music
{ A heart bled eternally at 8:13 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

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.

Currently, there are midis from 17 different anime series available for download.

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.

     Pinoy Big Brother Fanlisting Jam
{ A heart bled eternally at 10:09 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

House Jam is the fanlisting for Pinoy Big Brother , the Philippine version of the hugely popular international reality television franchise, Big Brother.

Current layout is entitled Gridlock, with a simple, imageless design put together by grids, to mirror the “closed off from the world outside” premise of Big Brother. This spread makes extensive use of divs and tables, as well as the foreboding combination of light text on red and black.
