returning to the scene of the crime

it's been a while since i created a web page. and now im like a returning prodigal son aiming to get back what i lost. getting thru the same process i walked thru back then - studying. i visited few sites ive created and found them to be boring so i wont put their links here. hahaha! then i stumble upon my site(i want to call it that) - http://www.geocities.com/orpheum_ph/ and remembered that i have created something for myself... a tool for web design. something to start with... and i would like to tap my back for that. and so, i decided to get back into blogging and pst this.

hopefully, i would complete my tool and maybe start on a portfolio. wish me luck!

Structural Composition      The IVI aggregates six value strata (from the IVC) into ...
