Zain Telecom Cute Sentimental Gift

001

I’m gonna start by saying that I’m not the type of person who is easily impressed or touched by a present! On the contrary, I’m very picky and I hardly like any gift that I receive! Now, when I gave birth to my first baby 8 weeks ago, I got a whole bunch of baby stuff that I ended up getting rid of most of them, no offense to anyone, but I just have a very specific taste in things, and even more when it comes to my baby!

However, when I received this cute something from Zain Telecom, I was swept away! The most adorable personalized set of blankets, towels, and a little sofa for my little one! Unbelievably thoughtful! And it’s exactly how I like my baby’s stuff to be, blue and plain, no color overdose, silly prints, or a whole bunch of characters! Just classy, elegant, and full of love!

Review: Mosbah Zain Play

Just like last year, and on the occasion of Eid Al Feter, I was invited by Zain to an exclusive show of their play: Mosbah Zain. I must say, when I first got the invitation I was really excited, and hoped it would be as good as last year’s, and to my surprise, it was!

Wonderful use of Arabic language, fun characters, big smiles, colors all over the place, happy music, and great values to teach your kids! Starring Shojoon, Fatima Al Safi, Hamad Ashkanani and many more stars, we spent about an hour and a half of sheer musical wonder! I love how Zain are excelling year by year with their involvement within the community. Planting little seeds of happiness through every ad or initiative they are making, which makes it one of the very few taking that lead! Way to go Zain!

Event: Zain’s Social Media Day 2012

This post was supposed to be up about a week ago, but I’ve been having technical problems uploading pics from my camera, and hence, the delay!

Now you most probably have seen the coverage of this event on many other blogs; Zain celebrating Social Media Day with bloggers & social media activists in k town, and it was a hit! Held in the Sky Lobby on the 55th floor of Al Hamra Tower – Great place and wonderful vibes!

Hosted by one of my favorite bloggers/tv hosts/social media activists, Omar Al Othman, who added a witty & fun mood to he whole evening.

After he welcomed us to kick-start the program of the night, we had the pleasure of listening to some of the most successful small business owners who used the social media, beside her incredible talent, to spread her business and get out there! and boy, did she not!! Fatima Al Othman of F2O, a great example for small business owners.

Actor Yagoub Al Abdulla also shared the secrets behind his very active and succesful twitter page.

Ali Mubarak had a video recorded specially for the event; very light and funny

And last, but not least, Mohammed AL-Muhaini from Zain, gave a short speech about the event and how it took them one whole month to put it together! Great effort showed off big time!

The closing of the evening was just perfect! Stand up comedy by Kuwaiti crew ‘Shino Ya3ni’ was hilarious!! The whole crowed was laughing out loud! It was definitely one of the best stand up comedies I’ve seen! Loved those guys!

And it was a wrap! Thank you Zain for always being the number one and making each event even better than the year before! Wonderful team and great initiatives!

On a side note, the catering of the event was done by a number of Kuwaiti small businesses throughout the evening! Another great way from Zain to show support and to the local efforts of the youth. Way to go!
