// past layouts ;;

» v. 1 - The Undying Lands

This layout featured a picture of Valinor from Middle-Earth, I liked it in the beginning but eventually became tired of all the blue-ness. This layout stayed on for about 7 months (from October 2004 to May 2005). I am such a lazy bum.

» v. 2 - Harmony

This layout featured a simple picture of a lotus flower that I cropped. I liked it for the soft colour scheme and the prettiness of the flower. This layout stayed up for about 3 months (May 2005 to August 2005). I installed Graymatter the blogging device after making this layout.

» v. 3 - Eternal Love

The layout was called Eternal Love... I know, I know, really cheesy; but I like cheesy stuff. =P This layout features Yang Si Lang and Pan Yu Yan (played by Alec Su You Peng and Chae Rim) from the Chinese historical action/drama series called Yang Men Hu Jiang/Warriors of the Yang Clan. The theme colour was a soft shade of green and I actually liked it.. I thought that the leaves on the side were a nice little touch. It was a pretty uncreative layout though, that's why it was only used for 1.5 months (August 2005 to September 2005). I actually did quite a bit of work on the domain [and my other sites] during this layout, since it was summer and all.

» v. 4 - you are my last hope

I don't really know why I called it what I did... I was kind of referring to the feather that Daisuke-kun is holding. Yes, after immediately making the guestbook layout that featured Daisuke, I made another layout featuring Daisuke. His pictures are just too layout-material-ish to not use. Anyways, the png was acquired from Aethereality.net. At first I really liked the multicoloured-ness and the somewhat abstract-ness of the layout, but then I became really tired of the black text and the white background. So I resolved to make a new one featuring something wintery. This layout was used for close to 3 months (Sept. 28, 2005 to Dec. 22, 2005).

» v. 5 - frost

This layout was used for more than a year (Dec. 22, 2005 to April 6, 2007). I loved the colour scheme, the picture, and I still like the layout, which is why I didn't bother to take it down until now. For most of 2006 I did very little with my websites and after grade 11 started I just don't have the effort anymore. During this layout I moved my blog to Sincerely, which is powered by Wordpress, since I got really tired of Graymatter.

» v. 6 - love is all i need

This layout was used from April 6, 2007 to Aug. 7, 2007. It was made by my wonderful friend Ashira of Mirage Effect. The main image used is my favourite of my current favourite singer Yunho from my current favourite singing group DBSK. Yes, the Korean wave got me too (blame it on Chimiko, Moonfish, and Kumiko).

// hope ;;

These are the layouts from my old blog, Hope.

» v. 1 - Seto Kaiba

Sorry, no screen-cap for this one. But basically it featured Seto Kaiba, I think 3 pictures total. One of him in Battlecity, one of him as High Priest, and another enlarged one of him in Battlecity. The full name was [Seto Kaiba, The #1 Bishounen], lol... Oh and the theme colour was blue, different shades of blue and some white as well. I used inline frames and that's about it.

» v. 2 - Serene Sunshine

At that time the whole blog was called [There Is Still Hope...], that's why the title was so. I made it during the winter times, and the weather was terribly cold. So I wanted something opposite of that, and tada: Serene Sunshine! Anyway, as you can see, the theme colour is mostly yellow, with some orange, white, and red. This layout was made with purely brushes, no pictures whatsoever. And the brushes were from Just Dreaming. Again, I used inline frames.

» v. 3 - There is still hope...

Made by my friend Meian before she moved, using CSS and div layers. Theme colour is light blue, the picture is one of Aragorn and Arwen (my personal favourite). I really liked it because of the soft colours and the brushes.

» v. 4 - Hope Prevailed

This layout was up for about 5 months because during July and August I was away on vacation. But I did like it a lot, the picture and the name was very fitting too. Hope Prevailed spoke of when everything Arwen had hoped for came true, Sauron was defeated and Aragorn was made King of Gondor; and that would mean they can finally get married. The picture was from his coronation in one of the last scenes of RotK. The theme colour was lavender/purple, fonts used were Elvish and Redensek, made in Photoshop 7.0.

» v. 5 - Hopelessly Arrogant

Version 5 was called [Hopelessly Arrogant], a very fitting name. It featured Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. Made using Photoshop 7.0 and Fireworks MX, the fonts used were Carpenter ITC and Redensek. Coded in Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, the layout type was div layers, and used CSS. The text on the top left corner says "Scared, Potter?", top right corner says "I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy", middle left says "Father's got a lot of influence", just some quotes by him. The entire colour scheme was too dark for my absolute liking, but I still liked it for... obvious reasons. ^__~ The coloured boxes were something new that I tried, I realized after that I should've just used silver and green, his colours.

» v. 6 - Hopeful

Version 6, entitled [Hopeful], made by the awesome Chimiko, thank you very much!! So pretty!!! It features Yuna from Final Fantasy. The format of the blog was still div layers with css.

» v. 7 - Forever Hopeful

This is version 7, entitled [Forever Hopeful], made by the uber Cool-with-a-capital-C and uber Awesome-with-a-capital-A Kari-chan!! <33 It features a very cool picture of Daisuke Niwa from D.N. Angel. I really liked this layout because everything was so fitting. The format of the blog was right-aligned, div layers with css.
