BIG CHANGE. I know 
I know it came as a surprise, but I’ve decided to take down all my designs. You can still find them under my portfolio, but they cannot be downloaded any more. The main reason is that I find designs no longer interesting me. I much prefer making 100*100 icons. Maybe what I like so much about icons is the challenge to express what I feel in a small amount of space. I have put up all my icons from Acapriccio, more are on the way as I make them. You are still welcomed to submit icons/wallpapers, just email me at admin@annacircles.com.
Besides that, I’ve reverted completely to a simple style operating on Wordpress. I like it a lot so far, with such a powerful program, I can worry less about incorrect coding. With the new annacircles.com, I will only be designing icons (maybe wallpapers as well), and the site will also serve as my blog about life and music. In case you don’t know, I am a big lover of Korean and some Chinese music, so I thought it nice to blog about it and share some useful links around.
[Icons]: Just to insert this into a random place, haha. I’ve just added four new icons, all featuring Korean artists (Han Kyung and Hee Chul of Super Junior and Lee Seung Gi). I’ll try to get the artists’ names on alt tags so that you will know who they are.
I discovered the song Only Love by SM Town yesterday. SM Town is basically the collection of all the artists hosted under SM Entertainment Company (many many famous ones, such as DBSK, Super Junior, BoA, Girls Generation, Kangta, CSJH The Grace, Jang Ri In, etc), and they release a summer and a winter album every year. This is from their 2007 Winter Album. I found the lyrics not only very warm and beautiful but also contains an important message of harmony that is shown through the artists. “What brings back a pure smile to your shadowed face is the great strength of our small love.” Watch it here:

[Song of the day]: Super Junior - Marry U (Download MU 192kpbs)
What a cute song Of course, Super Junior don’t have the best vocals, but I am in the happiest of moods and find this song cute and absolutely adorable ^^ Give it a listen!

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII XD!!!
Testing comments. Do smilies work here?
xD Haha, thanks Anna! I spent my entire weekend working on it though so I’m preparing for a backlash of complaints. I can’t imagine what my guests are gonna do once I’m away at college. D8
Cool! I love the fresh look and tags you have! Looks so pro. ^__^ Changed your links and button image!
oh wow, new system! :’D too bad you have to take down all your design tho ; 3;
Spectacular! I love the new style you’re deciding to aim for. Simplicity has always been an attraction for me, so it’s good to see more gorgeous and simplistic layouts!
oh my anna! you’ve done a lovely job here!!! i’m glad you’ve gone with what you love =D
I really enjoyed that “Only Love,” song. Even if I couldn’t understand it! Ha ha.
Aw! It’s sad to see the old acapriccio go but great to see a simple fresh and sleek look! I like the change =] Wordpress is really good except coding stuff for wordpress is really complicated! X_x
I’ll be visiting often, I love blog+graphic sites. And I’m glad you didn’t completely take down your designs, because I like looking at them!~
Hey =D
How are you? LOL. I absolutely adore the New Beginning and was actually thinking of doing something similar. It’s kind of strange how life doesn’t un-complicate itself after college applications; more and more just keep on coming. You definitely have the right idea here.
Anyway. Love what you’ve done with your circle, except it took a little bit (teeny) for it to load on my computer, just FYI
OK, I’ll check back later. Don’t both commenting on Xiao Star, it’s pretty much in hibernation until I have time…
Love.
I find it funny how the fact that both of us are into Korean music nowadays. Korea’s gonna take over!!!
Super Junior… OMG, I’m like crazy about them. XP So crazy that I decided to spend over $150 on them in a month. o.o;;
“Marry U” is LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! The only part I’m still working on is Hyuk’s rap. XP I really want the song to be played at my wedding in the future. [[And it's my dream to meet Kyuhyun, ROFL]]
I can see what you mean about designs/layouts. They’re not that of an interest as they used to be. Nowadays, everyone can make their own layouts. T-T But making a layout is frustrating as well.
^Thanks for your lovely comments
Angel: I feel so bad that I can’t comment on your posts. AHHHHHH, I wish your wordpress would just like me more
Terina: I hope you come back soon! What you said is absolutely true, I still have a lot to do and since I just got a job, I’m even busier. But I’ve had a change-of-mind and definitely enjoy senior year more
Kazim: I totally didn’t know that you liked Korean music as well XD $150 on SJ is crazy, haha, I wonder what you bought… I find SJ always able to cheer me up
this is the coolest place ever! After visiting all kinds of sites, I figured out that this one is the most interesting
