by Maria Zain: Keeping that Corporate Journal
http://bymariazain.blogspot.com/2010/01/keeping-that-corporate-journal.html
Writing without my by-line for a change. Sunday, January 3, 2010. Keeping that Corporate Journal. Every year, every year, every year. So here I am, at the beginning of 2010, with three corporate journals. My favourite is Alvin the Chipmunks, a free gift I received while hoarding donuts at Big Apple. I love it. It's cute and funky and will definitely keep my interest. January 3, 2010 at 4:30 AM. January 4, 2010 at 1:46 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is by Maria,. This is my personal blog....

http://bymariazain.blogspot.com/2010/01/old-blogger-new-blogger.html
Writing without my by-line for a change. Saturday, January 2, 2010. Old Blogger, New Blogger? I used to blog a few years back. Then my blog grew stale and I hid it. But now blogging again, feels like the same old experience. Is it just me or has blogger nothing all that new to offer old comebacks like me? The templates are the same. At least, I think they are the same. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is by Maria,. By Maria Zain is therefore, my collection of thoughts of which I have found blog-w...

by Maria Zain: Creative Destruction
http://bymariazain.blogspot.com/2010/01/creative-destruction.html
Writing without my by-line for a change. Sunday, January 10, 2010. This is how I normally start working on a new idea. I have that corporate journal that becomes my pen's playground. I'm fairly organised when I start working on new ideas or structures and it's good that I have a place to write my ideas down. Taaa daaa. so much fun. I understand why they are so much more creative than I am. I'll be visiting their art table a lot more often now. Move over kids, Mama's taking over your art block! By Maria Z...

by Maria Zain: I Loath My Neighbour
http://bymariazain.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-cant-stand-my-neighbour.html
Writing without my by-line for a change. Tuesday, January 5, 2010. I Loath My Neighbour. Not just any one of them, there is this particular one who irks me like crazy. Initially we thought she was a single mother with her unmarried daughter who was pregnant. Everytime we walked past her house, we would hear her yelling: "You're a LOSER! You are good for nothing! Your baby is just going to turn out just like you.". With all that yelling? She moved in over a year ago, and every single day, every neighbour ...

by Maria Zain: The Green Eyed Middle Monster
http://bymariazain.blogspot.com/2010/01/green-eyed-middle-monster.html
Writing without my by-line for a change. Saturday, January 9, 2010. The Green Eyed Middle Monster. Quite some time ago Umm Z gave me her lowdown on handling multiple children. I was having difficulty with a temperamental four year old, so Umm Z unveiled her wise wisdom through her comprehension of The Five Love Languages. If you have gone to the site, just know that it works for children too. I WANT TO DO IT MYSELF." Next. Oh no no. mostly because I don't want anyone's Love Language to be Gifts. I though...

by Maria Zain: More or Less Effective
http://bymariazain.blogspot.com/2010/01/more-or-less-effective.html
Writing without my by-line for a change. Wednesday, January 6, 2010. More or Less Effective. The troops had a field day today. Once in a while we bring the kids out, as in - not grocery shopping or necessary outings -for fun, so they can run around in new places. You don't need much to please a bunch of toddlers and alhamdulillah it went well. I can't say we're not exhausted though. Sunway Pyramid is quite far away from where we are and after the millionth time of being asked "Where is the pyramid? Lucki...

by Maria Zain: I want an iPHONE
http://bymariazain.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-want-iphone.html
Writing without my by-line for a change. Saturday, January 16, 2010. I want an iPHONE. I think all mothers deserve an iPhone the moment they give birth. Yeah, you heard me right. I don't need. IPhones, but I could do with one. Imagine the doctor / nurse / midwife / husband saying:. Here's your baby ma'am / dear. and. here is your iPHONE - what casing would you like to go with that? That would really bring out the colour of the umblical cord. Nice choice ma'am / dear.". I could actually multi-task without...

Writing without my by-line for a change. Wednesday, January 13, 2010. Less Furniture, More Floor. I have good news for my couch. It is going to a new home, where it is appreciated and not called "too bulky," scribbled on, and used as a castle fort (I'm talking about the cushions).

Writing by Maria: It's Funny
http://writingbymariazain.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-funny.html
Sunday, January 3, 2010. I understand that there are plenty of non-profit publications that need writing contributors. But some publications follow the standard business model and still refuse to pay writers. It's funny as much as unfortunate that there are magazines that feel that writers are not valuable or important enough to be compensated for their expertise. Wow, I thought, a magazine that values writers, mashaallah. Wait, what do writers do that make them so unimportant. If they can just be di...
