Marsha Maung: Write. Cook. Read. Watch. Try. Innovate.

This is the first time I am logging into blogger on this tab thing and attempting to blog. Man, how many mistakes did I make in that one single sentence?! Lol. And I missthe auto-cap thing when writing on wordpress or opensource. Hhhmmmm.... Lemme upload a picture of my current craze. My hamsters gave birth to a bunch (well...just 3, actually)of  tiny peanut shaped babies! They are absolutely so adorable. i want to roast them. grin.

Just came home from Awards and Graduation night for kids' school. Wow. Bushed. Trying not to die on this chair. Anyway, I want to muse on something before I sleep. You know when the kids are performing and all the parents rush to the front of the stage, trying to take a picture of their kids. I always suck at that not because of anything, but it sucks that my kids are BOYS (boys always are placed at the back of the group and they are tall boys. Hence, I always have trouble trying to find a window amongst those human beings to take a picture of my kids. And of course, being shy, they too try to blend in with the backdrop which makes taking a picture of them even HARDER. I was surprised that my son got an award for having the 3rd highest average score for the year. Cool. Yes, I am proud as hell about that but trying not to go overboard. And one more thing (please don't take this negatively), I managed to dodge a mother who was suspiciously trying to convert me into her reli...

Just came back from the 'old' wing 1 Utama which got epic renovations done which made me get lost and also sucked me of RM400 because I had to get formal clothing for the kids who are having their Awards and Graduation night soon. I should find out when. =) I can't figure out why I always leave finding out the exact date of things for the very last minute. It gets me into trouble, you know. Anyway, went shopping and let it be said here that I walked past Chatime unharmed, not traumatized nor was I crying my eyeballs out because I didn't get to try it. I've not tried it and for the life of me, I can't understand why I always shun things that people love so much. The more people are sucked into it, the less I want to try it. I hate commercialization of simple things. Sure it's got that brand name on it but listen, it's a SHIRT. It's a BAG. It's COSTUME JEWELRY. Someone blew things out of proportion and making you pay 3000% the deserving price. ...

suggested by EurekaLoop "What would happen if you suddenly decided to take the rest of the week off of work?" Nothing much, really. Honestly, nothing much because my work is on the internet and there is nothing like 'take the week off' when my work place comes along with me no matter where I go. Lol

I believe this is something most women out there are struggling with with age – rounder (sagging) bottoms. You can defy it with every single cell in your body. You can use the law of attraction to attract a firm albeit older bottom but it is going to hit you sooner and later. What is worse is that it doesn’t just happen to women who have given birth or women who are rounder overall. It is just in our genes that our butts will sag. A sad fact of life. So, what do women do when they have to face the harsh truth? They go on intense ‘secret formula’ diets and work their butts off. No pun intended. Continue Reading (my website)

Frog pose source: YogaJournal So I was doing my morning yoga and decided to take on one of YogaJournal's sequences. I took the Hip Openers cause they said that we carry a lot of our stress and fears in our hips and pelvic area. Don't look at me like that...ask them, not me! The sequence was darn good except for the last one. One that I have never done before, something called the Frog Pose. There's something about the Frog that I don't like. And good #^%#$!*&%^$ Mackerel!! I seriously thought that I would never get out of the %^#$%@#ng pose!! So, caution, if you want to do the sequence, beware of the friggin' frog. You might need help getting out of THAT ^&$%#ng hip %^#$%@# opener. Don't let the picture fool you, y'all!! It LOOKS easy but when you're SPREADEAGLED like that...I tell ya....dangerous things could happen. You could be stuck there with your hip all opened and a friend comes by and... hehehehe...sorry. Hip Opener Se...

Just found out what those singlets are called...from @annachew who tweeted ' Just saw a guy without chest or body tone wear a wife beater Singlet #uglysights ' LOL!! So I hit Google images lor.... =) I wonder why they are called wife beater singlets? Maybe something for me to research a little later on but in the meantime, here are some yummy-licious pictures of #perfectwifebeatersingletwearers Don't know why Zac looks a little...chubby here. Honestly, RPattz does not have a wife beater singlet kinda body. Put something else on.  And...er....please...not this one

Went for lunch at a nearby mall this lazy Saturday and I saw the 'green indicator light' on on one side of the mall so headed there. There were two empty spots but the one nearer to me was....funkily parked. Why? So, I chose the 'other one', parked and went out to eat lunch with the kids, had waffles, went to the book store and repaired my crystal bracelets. After finishing up what we had to do at the mall, we came back to the parking lot. The same badly-parked car was still there. Only this time, with something else on its windshield. Wasn't me who put it there, I swear. Obviously, someone else found it hard to believe that the driver passed his or her driving exams. XOXO, Marsha

There are times that I am completely taken aback when reading what others are capable of. It is as if I have spent the past twelve years writing up stuff that means so little, made so little impact. I am humbled by how some people are capable of using psychological triggers in their writing to provoke either thought, emotion or action. Here are some of the things that I have noticed about how people write and convey, through words, what is in their heads. Emotional psychological triggers  – Writers who use words to trigger something emotionally are exceptionally rare. Most of these writers are suitable for screenwriting or scriptwriting because that is what most films are about. Suffice to say, these creative personalities are also suitable for the advertising and commercial business because of branding. Branding is rarely about just words. It is about captivating the hearts of people, make people remember the emotion and whenever they think of something, they link that...

suggested by Spelling Search "If tomorrow morning you woke up ten years younger, what would be the first thing that you would do?" Picture from MomBloggersClub I pondered over this for over a week trying think about it, reflect about things before writing. Assuming that I woke up today ten years younger and things didn't change, as in status quo but just me being 10 years younger. It would mean that I still have my kids, I am still living in this house, everyone else is the ten years older than me and am still a freelance work-at-home writer....? If it means I would have a fitter body, a more alert mind and more time to make a difference in the long run, assuming that I won't go back to being 10 years older tomorrow morning? Wow. I'll just name one thing that I will do if I was ten years younger this morning. The first thing I would do this morning would be....the same thing I would do every other morning? Make my coffee, kiss my kids, clean up, s...
