Not A Thing

Peek-A-Boo

inxsomniax — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 04:48:59 GMT

8-D Someone has just remembered her very first old home in the LJ community. I have NOT blogged for YEARS — I don't know if I'm still able to do it. But heh! I will try. The funny thing is that I was just trying to look for one of my fav songs by Explosions In The Sky — and then I thought why not check out my old home and see if i can find a trace of it since billion years ago?!?! And I tried logging in.. hey I'm still here! o.O Love it! I don't even know if anyone still have this journal friended, but just thought I'd say HELLO OH GOSH I HAVE MISSED THIS PLACE!!

Okay I better go back to my usual weekend chores outside the house... in my garden. Yep, I'm now a serious gardener. You don't see me indoor anymore these days. I'm always outside! *HUGS* Take care all!

Some Spuffy Art....

inxsomniax — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:59:39 GMT

So I posted 3 Spuffy wallpapers at Seasonal Spuffy, yesterday! It's been fun .. I missed making fanart!

Click to full view/download them ;)

All brushes and textures are my own, you can download them from my site ;). Feel free to take and use these wallpapers for your personal use just please don't hotlink from where I uploaded them.

I just bought myself new sunnies. Summer coming and my 4 year old pair needs to see the bin. *g*

Testing DW :P

inxsomniax — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 01:58:27 GMT

It's kind of sad that a lot of you guys are moving to DW for good. I mean I know you guys are all cross-posting to LJ and all but it feels lonelier to be on LJ these days.

So, I'm testing this out, does it really matter where I post? LJ or DW? I don't have many friends on my DW flist yet, but hoping it'll grow quick. Actually, that's good... it's time to start over and I can actually get to know you guys better. It can be a brand new journey all over again.

I have to upload some icons, etc. to use. Update my profile and stuff.

Anyways, I have to go back to work now.

xox

Wouldn't it be cool

inxsomniax — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 06:01:13 GMT

if LJ has the LIKE button for posts? Like on FB - sometimes you don't know what to reply or comment on things, but it's always nice when you know that someone actually reads your posts and press the LIKE button to let you know they read it! :P Just saying!

Not specifically that you have to like what the post is saying.. maybe a 'smile' (>.<) button - telling you 'I read your post, thanks for sharing!'

Hehe just a thought!

Going to watch TVD soon... but I have to clean the house first.

Oh! If you follow my facebook and you've seen this, but I'd like to share a painting that my daughter just finished a few days ago... It's a watercolor on mat board painting of a Koi... If you're wondering, she's turning 14 and I think she's an amazing little artist! I couldn't draw/paint like she does when I was her age!!

:D Okays, I'm going to clean now! Lots of love to you all! *HUGS*

Looking back..

inxsomniax — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:30:57 GMT

to my posts from last year.. wow, so unhappy! Every post was about me being tired, angry and super sad.

I think I'm gonna filter and lock all of them so no one can read them ever again. I'm not happy reading myself from last year!

Why no one is never really on LJ anymore :( it's sad... I'm here at least once or twice a week, but I don't see many friends posting anymore on my flist.

I miss you guys. Really!

I have to write this down... stop contemplating and start doing what you have in mind! I have to learn to be that way because that's the one thing that ALWAYS slows me down in everything. It really sucks.

I'm going to start using this journal more often and actually post and not just reading my flist. At least a little ramble should be good? Oh wait.. maybe not, because I might lose more friends if I get more chatty. LOL. Yeah, yeah I know I'm so uninteresting and I know I still see over a thousand journals friending this journal because I'm always kinda quiet so no one really bothers to remove me from their watchlist HAHAH. Right or right??? Think. so.

Oh yay I'm rambling.. I actually have something to write.

Is it Thursday yet?? I'm waiting for the next TVD. I'm a little bit more obsessed with it at the moment.
Any show you think I might like to watch? I'm only watching TVD and Revolution at the moment, actually.. I'm waiting for at least 5 episodes of The Walking Dead until I watch them all at once. :) Also going to start watching The Fringe soon!

Anyways, better go get some sleep. Take care, everyone! :)xox

I have missed...

inxsomniax — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:55:28 GMT

Creating fanart so much..

So I've been browsing the net for Buffy fanart sites.. There are a lot of them around and they're pretty active. But I can't seem to find any Spuffy fanart website?? Do you know any? Any Spuffy fan out there who knows any website that showcase Spuffy art? I've spent the last hour on many Bangel sites! >.<

I'm thinking of making a new fanart site... I dunno how often I'll make fanart, but I just miss it SO MUCH. I miss being a part of the fanart playground again.. just to have fun, you know? What do you think?

I'll re-upload or maybe remake my Spuffy wallpapers/collages - make a home for them.. because now? There isn't really a home for them. They're just posted randomly on LJ communities, etc..

Should I, shouldn't I??

xoxoxo
~Thia

Spuffy matter! It's serious, really!!

inxsomniax — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:51:17 GMT

LOL!
So I said I missed the deadline to sign-up at seasonal_spuffy - I emailed them of my interest, and guess what?! I'm scheduled to contribute on the FIRST day it starts... O.O WHOAH!

Well, it's a good thing because it means I have no time to contemplate too much and I won't forget to make something! I pretty much have to start right now knowing my history of losing my muse once every week... >.<

So.. anyone has a suggestion or request on any Spuffy loving material that would help me get started?? Any fiction that you'd like me create an artwork for, maybe?? Icons?

I'm not even sure if I still have any Spuffy friends who read my posts... but if you know someone who might want to use me to produce some pretty Spuffy, send them my way, pls?! :P

I'm too lazy to go through my old backups for Spuffy images.. Anyone want to link me to good quality Spuffy images' archives? If there's any online? If not, then I'll have to go back to using the same ole stuff I've used in the past. >.<

I am really excited! *bounces*

inxsomniax — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 07:13:09 GMT

Bummer I missed this round's sign up for seasonal_spuffy :(

Crazy weather!

inxsomniax — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 04:35:03 GMT

Wow, it's raining and windy as hell. Kids are all at school and I feel bad that they're all out there :( I'm such a softy.

This is the last week of school before the 2 weeks term break. No school means I will have more distractions around here which is not so good since I have a few projects I need to finish in the next 2 weeks time. My fandom obsession isn't helping either since now I'm all being impatient waiting for TVD to come back on. When is season 4 going to start?

*Brrrr* It's so cold. Why is it still cold? It's spring, damn it!!

If you're following my facebook, etc. then you'd have seen this scrap texture/art I did last week with one of my kids/nieces/nephew. *g* My kids look very Asian compare to their blonde cousins. LOL! Hubby is the only one married to a full Asian wife ;)

Textures you can download on my site if you want it ;)

Some other random scribble I did recently if you haven't seen them on my site, that is...

Again, all textures can be downloaded on my site if you like them! ;) All of these were hand painted/drawn in Photoshop. I've been updating Hybrid Genesis at least once a week - there are lots of new textureArt I've shared in the past few months.

What else? I need to go back to work, now... one of you here who might read this might be eyeballing me from afar saying 'get your butt to work, young lady!!' *g* I love you, Em.. your site will be up and running very soon. Really!! *coughs*

Love you all, I'll be back soon! xxxx

Damon/Elena love

inxsomniax — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 04:47:23 GMT

So you know I'm a Delena shipper, right? I just had to share this fan vid I just found and watched. Soo gorgeous! *sighs*
I can't wait for more TVD soon..

Anyone know where I can get awesome Delena stuff from? Like caps or pictures of these two exclusively? I might make Delena fanart?! XD

It's been a while!

inxsomniax — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 03:05:56 GMT

*waves*

How are you all? I hope you're all well and happy! I haven't been posting here since like.. forever! O.O

Children are not children anymore. I have two very moody teenagers and two very cheeky little kids who always love to get on each other's nerves.

*sighs*

Life's alright, I guess. I'm not that healthy at the moment. Have been suffering from a mix of hay fever with bad whooping cough as well as some nasty flu bugs... yeah, it's been nice! *coughs*

Other than that, everything else is OK, I guess. Work has its ups and downs. At the moment things are kind of slow again. Still have a few projects that aren't finished, but they're going slowly since I have been busy with the family. My mom is visiting from Indonesia so I've been so very exhausted trying to be normal. Yep, being normal is exhausting, I tell ya! :D

I have the urge to create fanart again. But I don't know what!! So I'm wondering if anyone has an idea or request for me to play around with? Anything! I just want to get back into it again.. the fun and relaxing way to create. No rules, just make pretty collages for fun!

Does anyone have a favorite place where you get your images from? I'm absolutely lost in that area since I haven't been in any fandom at all for a long while.

So leave me a comment if you have some stuff that you'd like me to play around with?

xoxoxo

Tired, sick and hungry...

inxsomniax — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 17:28:10 GMT

Wonderful... I really dislike this weather. Everyone's sick because it's been raining and cold. :(
I heard there was an earthquake in Melbourne?? But what's weird, not that many people actually felt it. What's next, then?

Is it only me or anyone else also feel the urge to CLEAN when you're sick? LOL I feel so tired and sick.. but at the same time I really want to clean so bad. It's my body telling me well, you're sick because you let the house get so dirty and moldy. Hmm.. but what can I do when it's raining constantly, no sun to dry my washing that's piling up in the laundry room. It's wet and just grrrrr. No, I don't have a dryer because that's just going to be super expensive!! No sun, no solar energy.. mean, my power bill going to hit the roof, right?! ugh!

Anyway.. I'm just sick and grumpy because I'm hungry. But I also want to post a new artwork that I created the other night.. another sakura piece... I'm actually trying to create a piece that I would like to print and frame on my wall. So I'll be doing the same theme for now. Until I get to the right one.. :) Make sense, right? But here's one... you might or might not like it ;)

CrossingOver by ~In5omn1ac on deviantART

Take care, all!

It's so cold!

inxsomniax — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 03:06:13 GMT

Hello friends.... It's been awhile since I updated with an entry. It's winter and I love staying in my blanket! It's so cold and wet as well as stormy this past week.

How's everyone been? I hope you're all are great and happy! Life's been better for me, now that I don't have my SIL, her husband and baby living with us anymore. It's so lovely to be without them at home. I'm much more happy and relaxed everyday. My kids have amazingly been much happier as well. :D Yes, we have some of the most disfunctional and annoying extended family members. I'm sure some of you who follows my updates on FB already know this *winks*

The kids are growing up so fast... my little one is now five, my eldest is turning 14 and now works partime at the local supermarket. She's also a part of the Student Counsils... life is hectic for her. My second daughter is catching up, she's finishing primary school this year (also a student leader at her school currently) and moving to the same school as her older sister. I have to do enrollment forms all over again for her ;)

My husband is well but still so stressed out everyday with work. He's working so hard and underpaid, as always.. Hey we're still lucky that we get income every month when there are so many others have become unemplyed and hard to find new jobs these days. So we're very thankful about that... We might not be able to afford a lot of things, sometimes we don't even have any leftover money to buy anything for a few days before gets paid again... but we are OK. Keep positive that we're absolutely FINE! :D

As for me, I'm also not working or have any big paid projects this year. I'm concentrating on rediscovering myself this year. I'm working on my website, still being the 'inspiration', at least that's what people online call me *g* creating and sharing my art resources with the world. I've gotten emails from people about how I have inspired them in their lives since 8 years ago, how my work and myself as a person inspired them in choosing their paths in their lives and that they're thankful for that.. To hear that every now and then is pretty rewarding to me. I'm just so happy that things work out so well for others with their creativities and that they have found their dreams... How can I ever complain about that? :) Even if I'm not successful myself, which is of course my own fault for not even trying! I'm very happy to know that I've been somehow useful to others out there in the world.

Last night I played around with Illustrator & Photoshop. I came up with this new piece. I think it's a little bit messy, but I like the whole look for some reason. I don't know why, I think the richness of the textures, maybe?!..... It's available for prints if anyone likes to buy a copy to hang in your 'toilet' HAHAHAHAHAH :P I think it's pretty enough to stare when you're in there *g*

Blossoms by ~In5omn1ac on deviantART

Okay, I better go, my hands are getting so cold, I need to get warm again. My coffee is cold, now. :P I'm going to link my FB page here so if you want to see what I do everyday, you can see me there ;)

Love you guys! I hope it won't be too long till the next post. Stay well!! xoxoxo

I made a wallpaper...

inxsomniax — Wed, 09 May 2012 04:54:48 GMT

Oh yay.. I made this for seasonal_spuffy

Lyrics in this piece was taken from one of my favorite songs for my Spuffy muse... "Anywhere But Here" by Safetysuit.

Spuffy >> {The Moment}

I've been busy everyday working on resources for my site. I have no current project at the moment so I'm taking my site full time.

Can you believe my eldest daughter has a job at the local supermarket, now? *blinks* She earns an income!! I tell ya, they grow up so fast.. a few years ago they were still acting like a baby.. then suddenly BAM! They're off to work! OMG! She's the youngest at work, though.. I believe she's not supposed to be able to work just yet.. not until when she's almost fourteen, I think. But we're a regular at this shop and they've seen Abby growing up so they took her in straight away :P

Ok off to make more goodies!

xoxoxo
~Thia

Just need to say....

inxsomniax — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 01:52:54 GMT

I CAN NOT WAIT FOR MORE TVD EPISODES, damn it! :P

I'm on massive withdrawals, here... *sighs*

I'm a good girl

inxsomniax — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:36:58 GMT

Yeah, no more losing stuff for this girl. I haven't done anything at all on the computer in regards to graphic work, but I've spent all night backing up my stuff - I even downloaded my website, now all zipped and burned on to a shiny disc!! :P

I even re-burned some old backups from old discs to new ones just to be sure they're all gonna be in perfect condition in the next few years. LOL! I'm just so tired of it.. too much I've lost in the past few years. And I keep thinking, hoping every-time I'm backing up that my HD won't suddenly crash from all the backing up that I'm doing. LOL. That would just kill me!!

So.. A NEW START! Yes, I'm going to do just that. Even my daughter told me this morning that it's a good time for me to have a fresh start in everything. This year is a completely new year for me since I don't have anyone at home during the day.. yeah, my kids all growing up tooo fast that I have no more excuses to slack off. And it's scaring me so much because I don't know if this is going to work well, you know? The goals that I've had for the last few years finally here for me to fulfill and I don't know if I could do it... I'm scared!

Finding jobs... paid projects. But before that I have to start creating things for fun just to get my muse back. Without it I'm just going to resent the work.

Thank you to all of you who commented on my last posts.. Without you all I would've been so depressed yesterday. But you guys lifted my spirits and I'm all better. You guys helped a lot just by being there. I feel that now I can do this with you guys in the back of my mind. So, thank you so much for your kind thoughts, or just by talking to me. I don't feel so lost and alone anymore!!

xoxoxo
~Thia

inxsomniax — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:29:44 GMT

You know what makes it even more depressing this time around?
All my children are at school. I have no distractions and it's killing me to not know what to do.

:(

Away for tooo long

inxsomniax — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:26:57 GMT

I've been sitting here on my computer trying to get myself do what it is I'm supposed to be doing. But I'm completely lost. I'm so out of touch, from online world and everything. The story went like this...

A few months ago... I was busy working my site, making a lot of really awesome brushes, a lot more pretty textures and so on. I felt like, wow, I'm back. I had my muse back and I was so happy. I managed to bring my site back online again, started posting updates every other week... I was in a happy place when it came to my work. That was a few months ago. Then not long... maybe a week which in that I didn't think to back up all that stuff I was working on - my HD died! I lost everything! I got a new HD but until today, I have nothing! I lost them...... *sobs* even my PHOTOS!!

Again for the how many times, again... I'm trying so hard to start again. But it's getting harder and harder. I lost contact with my friends... followers of my work, etc. I don't know where to start.. So I'm here on LJ hoping to find a place that I can feel at home again. But then, I'm also a stranger around here now.

My name is Thia... What's your name and where are you from?
Do you know me, what can you remember about me from LJ or around the web?
If you know me or heard of me, do we have the same interests? What are they?
Are you older or younger than me? I was born around the 70s... :P
What do you do on LJ other than journaling your days?

And we will start our conversations from there :P
Now I'm off trying to see what I can find that I can use from my old back up discs!

xoxoxo
~Thia

hmmm... HI!

inxsomniax — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 16:19:10 GMT

Uh oh, Walking Dead is back! I'm excited! :D

HELLO! I'm alive. Just not posting. But I've been around my flist and read some every now and then.. not everyday, but whenever I get the chance to, I'm here. *waves*

What have I been up to? Well I've been busy with kids, as always. School holiday just ended and today was the first day back. I have a baby (my nephew) to take care of from Monday to Wednesday every week - it was everyday, but now he goes to the daycare every Thursdays and Fridays. Yay for some free time from a baby. :P

Have I shared any photos? You can see some of my newest photography stuff on my HG facebook page .. They're mostly my random shots of my kids and pets, of course.

The baby is my nephew, Dash. He's a sweet boy but OMG.... he's the most clingy baby ever!! First few weeks I had him he screamed everytime I turned around.. he's a slow learner so didn't start crawling till when he was about 9/10 months old.. He's too big for his age so he has trouble supporting himself. But yeah... He has separation/anxiety issues or something. He wouldn't stop screaming and crying until he chokes himself and vomits all over. Some days I have to keep cleaning and washing because of the mess he makes.

Since daycare, though, he's a lot better. I think he got the idea that 'hey, the world's not ending if no one's sitting next to me or cuddling me' .. I never had that problem with any of my kids. I give them distractions and they'll let me go. But Dash? Wow. I give them toys or even MY things that usually babies would go.. 'ooo new things.. lets put this in my mouth see how it tastes?' - NO. He would throw away those things and grab me by the neck and won't let go.. some days I'm just absolutely drained.... EMOTIONALLY!

He's not really like that with his parents since... they give him what he wants.. they carry him everywhere, they don't leave him and walk away.. They're not really spoiling him.. they just don't have a clue what to do other than.. that. One thing though, he sleeps good during the night.. He knows bed time so he would fall asleep around 7-ish and stays asleep till morning. Which I think is awesome!! But during the day he's a handful.

I've been busy with my very old website.. you know, Hybrid Genesis. It's back up and active now and I'm trying to get it back on track again. It's gone downhill like you wouldn't believe. LOL. I stopped maintaining it ages ago and now it's all quiet. So I'm trying to bring it back up and
creating/producing new resources to share every few days or so. Yeah really, I'm working really hard. I'm supposed to be asleep at night and God knows how tired I am... but uh I don't have time during the day to do anything on this computer.. with another baby to watch.. I know, I'm a push over and I can't say no when someone needs help. I volunteer.. why not?! I feel like kicking myself so hard sometimes. Grrr!

Anyways. I miss everyone here. I hope all is well with you all. I'm trying my best from now on to be more chatty. I think this is where I should be ranting about my immature family in law. I can't even say things on my facebook because I don't want to create massive problems. But they know how I feel. They're immature and stubborn and some days I want to strangle them.

Yep. They're a pain!

I need new music

inxsomniax — Sun, 15 May 2011 15:48:39 GMT

to listen to... anyone has any recs for great new music?

At the moment, I'm looking for any catchy songs, with nice beat and tunes so I can stay awake and work on my sites.. A little upbeat would be nice for now. I have so much to do but I keep falling asleep. My eyes are all droopy.. (~..~)
Asian music is also good. I'm currently listening to Ayumi Hamasaki - one of my favs! So if you have anything like Ayumi's stuff, I would love it! :D

I'm so tired. My little Zoey just turned four a few days ago and tonight was a big dinner with the family. I've been cooking all day and my feet are sore. I want to just sleep but I know I have to stay up and work on designing stuff while everyone asleep. I'm trying really hard to get back into the old habit of being a true night owl. I want it back, damn it! Why do I have to get older and just feel tired all the time?

*sighs*

Oh dear, my eyes are so heavy... someone, wake me up, pls!?

*yawns*

Hey...

inxsomniax — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 03:37:44 GMT

About time I posted something here. Hello, all! I'm alive.

I've been busy with my kids as always - my eldest daughter (Abby) has been elected as this year's Head Girl in her school. Yes, I'm a very proud momma! She'll be 13 this year and going into middle/high school next year. I've been busy applying for different schools and enrolling her on special art programs in those special art schools around the city. Next week she has to do a few exams and interviews to be eligible to get a spot in a few different schools. Whoa so much to do.

I took these photos of her with my iphone a few weeks ago and I kept thinking, omg how she's grown! I still remember when she was a baby!

What's funny is that I have kids who totally look Japanese or Korean - I'm not Japanese nor Korean. But when people see them, they'd ask if I was Korean/Japanese. I guess the Japanese genes from my husband is quite strong in all of our kids. Abby is almost as tall as me now. She's so LONG. LOL. I'm not tall, but she's only 12 and she's almost my height.

Last week my dearest, loving dad - my hero, bought me a new toy! He bought me a new Wacom Intuos4! Yeah, it's shiny and awesome. He wanted to get me a Cintiq because he knew how I dream of getting one of those... but I thought, no way, it's way too expensive and I still don't have the space to have that kind of stuff. Kids are still young and I don't want to risk it getting damaged since they do use my computer a lot! Including their friends when they're over. Besides, I don't think I'd be using it a lot... not now, anyway. Don't have time to play around with art that much these days. So we'll wait till later in the future.

So I played around with my new tablet, trying to get a feel of it and made this little painting (click to enlarge>>). It's rough and not perfect, but hey, not bad for a first time, me thinks?! :D I know, need more shading around the face.. It looks flat right now. Need to practice to do perfect strokes for hair... I know I'm not that good with freehand drawing.. I can draw, but I haven't used my hands to actually draw for years, everything I do comes out wonky and my hand keeps shaking! UGH! So I really need to spend time in drawing freehand again. This pic was drawn and painted in photoshop, without any references.. so if something looks funny, you know why. :P

I'll be doing just that whenever I get the chance, now. Making brushes and textures again. School holiday is on, kids will be at home around me constantly for the next 2.5 weeks. *eeek* Wish me luck that I'd get plenty of alone time!! *rolls eyes*

Almost forgot, but I posted this new artwork a few days ago...

New Art

inxsomniax — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 03:33:08 GMT

Hello! Well, what do you know?! A new flowery theme artwork.

Off topic, I have a tooth that needs to be extracted so badly, but I hate going to the dentist.. :( Do I really have to? Sucks!

BlackVeil

Great to be back creating again! *bounces around*

~Thia

Wheeee

inxsomniax — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:25:55 GMT

I actually made something cool!! Well, I think it is cool. I was only playing around with my brushes and stuff, trying to come up with some new textures AND new brushes... and I somehow came up with this messy piece that my daughter and I thought kinda cool looking... :P

Mind Difference

Now I'm going to try to do more artsy stuff.. maybe I can have some new things to share again tomorrow.. *yay*

Sore

inxsomniax — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 12:46:18 GMT

I started doing stuff on the computer this morning, sat there for like... 3 hours straight and then I stretched. I hurt my right shoulder/ neck and now I feel so sore. I think I pinched a nerve and now I'm lying down flat on the floor on my back. Can't do anything. Ugh. I haven't been working on the computer using my right hand for long period of time so now I'm paying for it. Darn it. And I was creating pretty things too. Ugh!!! Gosh I hope I'll be better tomorrow cos it really sucks! Anyways I'm on my iPhone reading and browsing. Is all I can do tonight.
