Hi! Welcome to Aureus, a collective site that hopes to be a little more unique than the next website you visit. I specialize in stock and game images, and here, you'll find tons of stuff to take home: icons, layouts, textures, and tutorials. My name is Celes, and I hope you e n j o y your stay here! Hope to see you tomorrow; have a great day!
yay! ????!
Hey everyone! I'm sincerely sorry for not blogging very often....I've just been very lazy and watching Taiwanese dramas all the time! Remember when I told you Mike He was my? favourite male actor? Move aside....make way for Wu Chun omgsh he is way too....*drools*
I'm also very much interested in the boyband Wu Zun belongs to.....Fahrenheit!! I got their CD (REAL I can't believe it) along with the DVD. Does anyone know what date their second album is coming out? =/)
So school starts tomorrow...I am excited but not really excited...at least I'll have something to do! And something to blog about....actually I was thinking of changing to LiveJournal or something....just a little small bloggie site. I find myself so disinterested in webdesigning now that for now, I'm going to stop....lol maybe I can sell my graphics? But I don't have a Paypal account.....I don't even know how these finances work xD
Anyway this Thursday is my mom's birthday, so I would like to say ????! I even spent this whole morning making a handmade homemade card for her. It has ribbons, beads, popup letters, glitter.....a lot of girly and crafty stuff =]
Lately after watching these Taiwanese dramas and listening to Fahrenheit's music, I've become interested in learning Mandarin! I'm Cantonese myself....but I'm having a hard time still =( My worst flaw is my grammar....just simply grueling and disgusting grammar. I took Chinese for about 8+ years and my grammar is still so bad xD. But I will improve...I really want to learn Mandarin! Please excuse my atrocious grammar if it doesn't make sense....
?????? for still coming here! I will try to update more often....but I know I write very long and people end up not reading it...=( ????? if I really write too long....anyway ??? go read my book! Please keep coming....this site won't die....yet =]Comment Plugs: No plugs for today.

la Z GIRL
I am so lazy. I've
been watching Taiwanese dramas all this time. I've finished It Started With a Kiss. It wasn't as good as Devil Beside You,
but it was okay. Anyway I've been lazy, and all I made are 2 icons from Why Why Love. It's so funny...that show. Anyway,
check those out. I'm bored (summer school is over).
I'm going on an open hiatus. Currently, at 6:13pm, 3 of my affiliates are offline, which isn't very good. I need to change my layout, since one of my affiliates closed her site. AND I need a affiliate cleanup. So....I'm also thinking of getting some STAFF, since I'm not really good right now. If you're interested in staffing, please drop me an email at aureus.celes@gmail.com. I don't know how many staff I want right now, but I will look at it and determine if I like your design skill. Please include your:
Name
Website (very important!)
Email
What you specialize in (icons? layouts?)
2 samples of your work
Hope to see some applications! If not, then oh well lol. Not going to include plugs this time. Way too lazy. =(

events: beading, school, birthday
Well I haven't updated
in a while, and sorry to keep you waiting! I was very busy with offline events! See here, I got my spc card
finally!! They added new stores which I am quite pleased! I don't like the card design much; the word "SPC Card" is in mirror
paint, so it was pretty cool =] I can't wait to use it! I needed to buy a pair of capris at Bluenotes, so hopefully it'll be
cheap =]
I went to a beading
class last Monday with my friends Karen and Vivian. It was pretty fun but I've never beaded before so it was hard passing
and crossing x_x But I did manage to make a star ☆ keychain with a bell and a bracelet ^^ They were, however, very expensive
because the teacher was charging 15 cents per bead, and I used 75 beads for the bracelet!! @_@ I'm going to another class
on Friday, though. I'm gonna make a puppy =P
My birthday was
on Friday, and thank you to Olivia and Karen for the beautiful birthday
gifts! I will put them up in my awards page after I update =] I got a couple of nice real gifts. I got....a cross necklace (can't
get enough of those! I have 3 of them now lol) a much-wanted tshirt (yellow), the bag I showed you, the newest Harry Potter book,
money ($_$) and some other clothes (I couldn't fit them in the picture!). It was pretty fun. I went to go watch Harry Potter and
the Order of the Phoenix on my birthday. It wasn't that great of a movie, I was so disappointed! But then afterwards I went
out to eat some pizza and then chilled the whole night. Fun! And thanks for the birthday wishes ;)
Another reason why I haven't been updating is because I've been hooked up on Devil Beside You. It's a Taiwanese drama and it's so cute! It has Rainie Yang and Mike He (drools....><) and the story is so emotional and heartbreaking I had to watch it! You should watch it too....it's really really good! What can I say to make you watch it?! Top rated shows in Taiwan! Romantic! HILARIOUS! Music scores are beautiful! My favourite ones are Ai Mei, Li Xiang Qing Ren, and Jerk. But...the show is in Mandarin (there are English subs). I really want to learn Mandarin now. I already knew a few words from before and watching this show expanded my vocab. My favourite scene is this one, it's so so...sooo!!! EMOTIONAL and like happy and ooohhh you have to watch it to find out!
Right now I'm watching Why Why Love. It still has Rainie Yang and Mike He in it, but it hasn't finished filming yet. Only 8 episodes so far...a lot of people said It Started With a Kiss is good too, but I only watched 15 minutes of it and I got bored. Ariel Lin is kind of....not that great-looking...heh heh...compared to Rainie....heh heh...ok I'll shut up x_x.
So...school is eating up all my time (yet again sighs) but I'm going to be finished on Thursday! Hopefully I'll get a passing grade...right now I'm getting mid-80s...which is bad! My mom said I have to get over 91 if I want my ears pierced...seems pretty hopeless, about now T_T. But...oh well...getting pierced ears aren't really a priority. Getting a new mp3 player is! Well maybe not... I can't think of it right now!
Once again, I don't have any graphics, but there'll be some after school ends. Be prepared. Most of them will be from Devil Beside You!! Heh heh. Anyway, gonna go now. It's a long blog, and thanks for reading it all!

hectic week
Fweeeee!! I finally
got past my first week of summer school, and it was complete torture. Anyway so I went to Urban
Planet and I got (or moreover, my friend got me) this bag for my early birthday (it's on the 27th) ^^ It's quite spacey and I'm gonna use it as my
summer school "backpack". =] Thanks Prisc!!! ☆ (I didn't get that shirt I showed you, I'll give you the
receipt when I see you!)
So the biiiig moment. Graphics. I have....NONE. I'm really truly sorry but summer school really took up my time....each day measures up to approximately a week in a normal school year....so I'm too tired to make anything. When summer school ends, I'll pull out all the stops, k? =]
Well I guess I'll take care of site business....I got my site reviewed by Prestigious Awards, and you can go and read my review here. I got over perfect! Thanks! Please also welcome 2 new link exchanges, Jasmine and Angel! I also won first in the contest that I requested you to vote me for. Thank you all so much!! Well I need to go to 2 BBQs soon so I'll go and return your comments for later! =D Have a great summer =]
P.S I will also leave the affiliate cleanup for later....I will give you all a second chance =]
P.P.S. Listen to Over You by Daughtry. It reminds me of me and.....*bleep*

being very {board}
Now I didn't gp
purposefully shopping yesterday, I just happened to pick up a FF7: AC WALLSCROLL!!!. Wow I was so excited
when I saw it being displayed out to the public....I thought I had no chance to get it since there weren't any copies of that in the bin I was
looking through.....luckily the cashier said I could have it and brought it down for me ^o^ I also got a pair of jeans
and a keychain for my friend's birthday. =O
So, maybe you didn't read the edits in last post, but I did make 4 new sets of brushes. I trashed the patterns because they were getting really ugly. I plan on making more, but I think I should work on other parts of the site.....in your opinion, which graphic[s]/tutorial[s] would you like more of? I never know what to add....
Summer school begins on Monday. I dunno what to think....but the good news is that I changed my courses!! YES!! My mom called the school board and managed to change my courses ^^ Yay! So there is a good chance of being in my friends' classes...=]
Well not much to say since it's pretty boring.....but I did get a handful of link exchanges =] Please visit them! Speaking of links....I think I need another affiliate cleanup....>=( Some people just don't follow rules...

I am currently being reviewed at Prestigious Awards ♥
photo[shopping]
Well today is Canada Day so Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians, and Happy July to everyone else! =] So anyway, I spent practically the whole day on the computer and I made a lot of stuff! So for today's update, I've added 3 large textures, 1 pre-made layout, 6 icons, 1 icon base pack, and finally 4 icon textures. I hope that is a big enough update for you! I am sooo tired of photoshopping now, I just want to take a break!
So....like I said last update I did go shopping once again ^^. I got 2 shirts and one pair of jeans....they were at pretty good prices =] I'm real cheap and I try not to shop at brand name stores but I ended up shopping at all brand name stores >< I got Garage jeans, a Gap striped t-shirt, and a David and Goliath 'Chicks Rule' t-shirt. Ahhh...well....they were at good prices at least? -_-
Next Monday (not tomorrow) I'm going to summer school (no I did not fail anything, I wanna earn an extra credit!) and I'm sorta excited. Like, I'll have something to do, but I don't really want to spend my time doing school. What's even worse is that I chose the wrong subject!!! GRRRR, I am so mad about it. All my friends are taking it, and it's a subject that's better out of the way in the school year. Total bummer -.-
Tomorrow I'm going hiking with my parents since it's a long weekend. I'll try to take lots of pictures! I'm planning to start up a stock photography website....I'm not too sure about it though. I've already taken many shots to add, along with some from taken by my dad. Is anyone going to take the stocks? I'm not an expert photographer....I'll think about it. Until then, enjoy summer guys! <3
[Edit]: Alas, brushes!!! If you've been to Rainbow Drops, you've seen how horrible they are, and now, I've spent 3 hours making this one set! Yess.....I'll try to put up image packs later on, but since I accidentally deleted my icon mask brushes...that's gonna be hard....since colours are inverted!!! >< So.stupid!!![/Edit]
[Edit2]: patterns now!!! Well I only made 1....and it's
real sucky, but I'll probably make more later on (I hope).[/Edit2]
[Edit3]: Well I'm on a brush-making frenzy right now, I've added 4 more sets! Ooh...I feel woozy from staring at the screen for so long![/Edit3]

shopping & icons
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't
updated in a while (yes, 4 days is awhile). I went shopping today to kick off my start of summer, and end of exams! I'm finally
freeeeee and I think I did average on my exams! So I went shopping and I got the green 1 up mushroom
from Super Mario and I got that pack of pens (triplus fineliners) I've wanted as an early birthday present ^^ I also got a shirt, but my mom is
fixing it since it's too low for me =/ Cleavage, I tell you.
I tried to make an iframe layout today and I failed miserably at it. I can only do div layouts heehee ^^; So, what I did
was make two icons, which are pretty sad, in my
opinion. All my creative juices leaked out onto my new layout and disappeared. Oh yeah, thanks for all the compliments on it ^^
So tomorrow I'm going shopping again, since today's shopping trip was cut short because it was dreadfully hot. Really looking forward to that! Also looking forward to my upcoming spc card ^o^
Yeah, I got another sunburn!! It's not as bad as the last time. I put on this weird chinese herbal cream.....so I think I'll be okay. Ooh ooh I almost forgot, I got two new link exchanges, rezina and crystal! Welcomeeee =] Anyway, bye for now! Take care!

tired x2
[EDIT]: Well well, what do we have here? A new layout!. Enjoy you guys, while I fix everything ;)[/EDIT]
[EDIT2]: Yeah I'm upset. Because I had to reset my Extremetracking!!!! All because I was so dumb and put the wrong URL in the first place -_- ARGHHHH!!! -puff puff- I'm okay now. -goes and rips off a bunny head-[/EDIT2]
I'm still in exam mode. I still have 2, one on Monday and one on Toosday (heh heh). I just finished my science exam
yesterday and I'm so exhausted from studying for that. Really don't want to get into English >.<"
So.....Ayumi has suggested a version 2 of Aureus. I must say, I'm getting quite bored with this layout.....So, I've decided to make a new theme for Aureus....I just can't think of the feature or the design....hmm...well I'll have to think of it later.
No new updates for graphics since I'm so busy going on the computer STUDYING. So....thanks for all the
wonderful comments, you guys rock! =D So...please wish me luck on my english exam....I think I'm gonna need it!!! Will update
in soon! (hopefully).
Ooops...I forgot to mention, I removed a handful of affiliates. I feel terrible for doing so....but I moved them ALL to link exchange =D So now affiliation is open for 2 spots! Oh yeah, I got a new affiliate, Zen! Go visit her please! Her pre-made layouts are AMAZING. And now I'm gonna plug random people, for new layouts! =D

tired
There's only a small update today.
I only added 3 icons and 1 texture.
I think I have designer's block. I just can't think of any good ideas! I've also cleaned out the icons section because
a lot of them sucked. I've also updated the awards page since I've
recieved some new awards and gifts. I also have a new link exchange, Makin!
So...what else. I went to a wedding today, and I should be at the reception right now but I decided not to go because I'll be the only kid there -_-. So here I am. And here I am not, because I feel like a lazy bum who should be studying for exams. Also I'm having a bit of....problems with the male species. Yeah. Ok. Bye.
P.S. I am so excited for my SPC Card to come! My mom finally let me
order it, but the new card looks ugly, in my opinion. >=(
P.P.S. Thank you Olivia for such a cute gift!
