What's New Year?

I am not a New Year Party goers! I never celebrate any New Year before, i enjoy watching fireworks in every towns/countries i have visited/work/live from a television!

This year is the worst...ummmmm i completely understand that i am whining too much here!

Life is a complete set of good and bad, So be it!

The array of changes are too many...again i am whining! sounds like a complete set of loser i am!

Be strong me! I need that, I have so many goals i hope to archive in 2011. Let see if i could make it to reality...

1. I wish the treatment for my hubby is working and he be able to recover 80% to 90% back - fuck the doctors keep telling this to him, that his chances is 50-50.

I was once been told like that and fuck that doctors keep telling me lies and he was excited (yeah ! fucking excited doctor) with my heart conditions two weeks ago!

If statistics never lies, i wanna change a vibe here as well "DOCTORS' TELL LIES TOO"

2. Setting up an Education Wing somewhere in Asian country! gosh i am not trying to put up my name in education, like some people does! I am nobody- but i have a different ideas on education and educating youth!

3. I hope our PR application for Scandinavians Country is approved by 2011!

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday

we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! May your day be full of cheer and warmth, with good friends, great food, and thankful hearts.

Cinnamon stick

A 12-week London study was recently conducted involving 58 type 2 diabetics with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels over 7 percent. Hemoglobin A1c is a marker for long-term glycemic control in diabetics.

After 12 weeks on 2g of cinnamon per day, study subjects had significantly lower HbA1c levels, as well as significantly reduced blood pressures (systolic, SBP and diastolic, DBP).

The researchers’ conclusion:

“Intake of 2g of cinnamon for 12 weeks significantly reduces the HbA1c, SBP and DBP among poorly controlled type 2 diabetes patients. Cinnamon supplementation could be considered as an additional dietary supplement option to regulate blood glucose and blood pressure levels along with conventional medications to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.”

Got it from Dr Mercola and sharing with you guys

dormant blogs of mine

It been a dormant blogs of mine this year around!

I am sorry.

For the past eight days, Steve D undergo heave treatment here in Oslo, Norway. and yesterday we all went for shopping. Family shopping in Amsterdam! I brought the entire party on ECB Private Airplane- the Director General wanted to meet us both personally in a short meeting.

We have a good shopping thou! quite a severe weather, but we managed.

I am not sure what for Christmas this year! I am not sure what for my birthday as well!

but i am certain that what i care the most is Steve.

Never i show my sorrower face, never!

Muharram 2010

I would like to wish my fellow Muslim, Mubarak fi Muharram.

It is a journey of a new year for all of us and may we live in peaceful and understanding each other. Not judging people from their superficial quality but rather appreciate the inner beauty.

Thanks for the prayer for Steve.

How to work?

How am i going to office when snows are covering up the road?

Had a better thing to do actually! taking care of my husband who is diagnose with Pancreas Cancer!

The doctors are positive about chances for him to recover since it was detected at early stage. But i am not happy with the treatment he gonna dealt with! chemotherapy.

i have no choices but to go with that, for me to sign the paper was the tougher job ever!

I am looking for immune therapy such as stems cell and any other alternative to make my hubby recover from chemotherapy in ease and safest ever and i have found that for him, this product name by 4LIFE (google it)

He is very positive all this while, i think i might get my blood pressure back very soon. but i keep my aspirin and vegetarian diet tight!

I need to be strong and never i complain all this while. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am not in a mood for this year Thanksgiving.

The First reasons is my hubby@ Steve was not in a good health, he was diagnosed for Stomach Cancer, and what depressed me the most is, the doctor here not be able to inform me the status. WTF... HELLO.....this is a living creature, my husband that you are dealing with!

With all the technologies! can any of you tell me what are the status?, can it be cure or not?, prescribe medications and whatsoever.

Yesterday, I lost my temper! and i started to be hysteric. I can't deal with no answer!

Please God, Help Me. I know we have done so much sins, but it between us two and you, God.

I am now trying to get the second and the third opinions from the specialists in John Hopkins and London Medical School Professor.

I am reaching as far as Republic of China for the lists of herbs specialists.

I can't deal my life without him. That is one of the most scary thoughts after all the scariest possible things in the world I could think for!

I am taking off my duties for 3 weeks, after the Republic of Ireland settlement.

I have promised that we will be together during good time and bad time

Always!

Our Way - Norwegian Way

I seem to spend most of the winter travelling around Northern Europe. So constantly back and forth from Head Office in Bruxelles and our home in Kristiansund, Norway by airplane!

I never regret for doing a bit of travelling (about 1 hour plus by airplane- one way) twice everyday, as long as i am with my lovely Steve!

You guys might wondering why Kristiansund, Norway? Steve was assigned here for his latest project. and being a good house wife i am, i could not bear to be distance away from him, it breaks my heart and not to mention little Sophie as well.

It always surprise me how little daughter of us be able to stay calm and get along with travelling around. First Berlin, Germany then Kristiansund, Norway.

Language is not a barrier at all in here, people are so warm and helpful. I have a good neighbor next door. I kinda fancy Scandinavian foods (mostly seafood) and design.

Today we had minus 10 Celsius. Long John in and socks and earplug as well. The popular hot drink here is called Glogg. Basically you need to cook it with spices like cinnamon, clove and lemon zest. Learn this from my neighbor.

I did a Norwegian rice pudding yesterday called riskrem with red sauce @ raspberry source.

here is the recipes

3 cups whipping cream

3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5 cups cold rice pudding

Whip cream, sugar and vanilla until creamy and stir into porridge.

Red sauce bag (raspberry)

1 cup raspberry jam

Happy Thanksgiving to all Americans!

It's the economy and we're not dumb!

Despite the despicable election ads from partisan red and blue politicians, we, the voters, know what is important. It is not who is or isn't a witch that matters. It is the economy.

Even people who have not lost their jobs are worried about making their mortgage or rent payments. A recent poll shows concerns about housing payments have spiked since 2008 despite some economic improvements.

Fifty-three percent survey respondents said they are "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" about having the money to make their housing payments. Worries are more intense among those with lower income and among African Americans.

And why are people still so worried? The answer, for a lot of people, is jobs, or lack thereof.

The unemployment rate is still very, very high.

So if you think of it as being about the odds of someone losing their job and not being able to find another, there is a reason to be concerned about not being able to make mortgage payments and lost your house or your life!

WTF!

Back in Kuala Lumpur

Gosh! I am back in Kuala Lumpur for works, works works! meeting, meeting, meeting!

More update coming.

Pack up for new office and house!

Official welcome to my newly renovated office in Brussels. Pack up! pack up! Here the mover!

An official promotion for my next 2 terms in European Central Bank (can't just run away). That would be another messy live ahead and hopefully i am able to jungle between my work and my family like before. bleak!

To Hubby! i promise you that i will never neglect you. You know how i hate working, but we need the bloody dough! for our early retirement plan.

We are not planning to live in Brussels! gee no way! with all the Gay themes and colorful events, we just pass it. Not my cup of tea, nor my hubby and not for the little one.

Somewhere nearby, nice condominium facing the river! and everybody speak Finnish godforsaken!

Will provide you with all the information later on!

1001 reasons to smile.

1001 reasons to smile.

I am not sad now and I am smiling from right to left. Talk to dear Hubby yesterday and he promise that he wll be coming back for Halloween in Berlin and Thanksgiving in New York.

We have our HOT conversation and video conferencing as for yesterday. Don't ask what sort of ritual that we have had! you figure it out people!

I am so happy to see him and hear him. My Lord i am missing him so much, that i cry of joy!

My world has stop for a while and i have forgotten every thing but him...

Have you experience this before?

As I darkened my eyes with the dust of sadness...

I darkened my eyes

with the dust of sadness

until each of them was a sea full of pearls

All the tears which I shed for him

are not tears as many think but pearls...

I am complaining about the soul of the soul

but I'm no complainer; I'm simply saying how it is

My heart tell me it is distressed with him

bu I can only laugh at such pretended injuries.

Where is this "we" and this "I"?

By the side of the Beloved.

You made this "we" and this "I"

in order that you might play

this game of courtship with yourself

that all "you's" and "I's" might become one soul

and finally drown in the Beloved

Is it possible for the bodily eye to see you?

can thought comprehend your laughter or grief?

tell me now, can it possibly see you at all?

such heart has only borrowed things to live with.

The garden of love is green without limit

and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy.

Love is beyond either condition:

without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh.

Feeling miserable

I was in New York ever since Steve when up to the Arctic.

I am not in a very good mood, I missed him so much, his mobile reception is not very clear or worst not reachable, no broadband services, no nothing.

My paperworks are pile up in my office table in New York and worst are yet to come. I can't concentrate! getting help from my ex-MBA students here with my works. Thanks God.

Send little one to stay up with Lilly, Steve's Mom.

I am in total mess,( drop 10pounds for that) and

Yesterday, i was invited to witness an event, for ex-Merck CEO Roy Vagelos (former student of College of Physicians & Surgeons) and his wife giving away a donation of 50million dolor to Columbia University to help construct a medical and graduate education campus at the New York Institution's medical campus.

(should later ask the Physicians to come up with my miserable feeling cure-not another happy pills)

Wish i had that amount of money so i could live and fly free like a bird.

but, not yet! just a dream.

Still feeling miserable and %$W%&^%$&%^*%^

Leaving New York, next week (not exact date) and reporting to ECB in Berlin or Frankfurt .

Celebrating Hobbit Day

What are the grounds of parenthood? What is it that makes someone a parent?

Oh! What are the qualities every parent should have?

AggHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have any...just stumble into my panic button (hello, we gay do have that button,

realize it or not) accept for my gratification towards education. enuf say.

The things is that little daughter of mine have this

"The Long Awaited Party: to Celebrate Hobbit Day"

Yeah.. you probably thoughts me insane but it is true darling. Today marks an interesting holiday that is not widely observed.

You can support your show by going barefoot for the day, smoke grass (not for kids - gosh i missed that time) or drinking beer (not my kind of drinks either) but definitely not going totally bare naked to other(which i am fond of doing so) or at least you could speak a little Scottish or Irish accents to other(twist my tongue for that).

So. i have received the invitation card from the nursery that the kids are having the get together party to celebrate the hobbit day and guess what, Parents are invited. hohohoh

Since Steve@hubby was in Oslo, Norway. I suppose to go to the party alone (sadly). The little one will miss his daddy so much!

and the turnoff here is :

PARENTS ARE TO DRESS IN HOBBIT COSTUME!

arghhhhhhh! when and where in the world am i going to find all that! oh why hubby insisting to get her into this nursery after all(i am running crazy). This is not a Halloween yet!

So here i am, after pressing my panic button to my dear Steve, last night and he got me Bilbo Baggins dress from this local shop for me. I am so gonna be old later by today!

So! am i a lesser parent for what i am?

I think so........but hey nobody perfect, i might be good with my academics and corporate banking and financial

, but i am not a good parent...just not yet!

This is just one...Steve want to add another one more into our family...this time it's gonna be a boy he say for sure.

Should i hire a nanny or i am not sure what!

Phone Sex!

I likes doing phone sex with Steve. Talking dirty all the time telling our inhibited sexual desire. heheheh

Whenever possible, from on the way back home in the bus or taxi, or from my office during lunch hour or not, and the worst is during meeting. YUMMY LEAKING DOWN UNDER!

If phone sex is not available, we do text to each other, exactly like phone sex or we hook our self with using the Yahoo Messenger ++.

We kept our sexual letter (years ago) to each other with few of em really stink (reading and masturbate simultaneously) or worst case scenarios-full of cream.

I personally think that in relationship both must know how to spice up and play the role to each other, Telling how much you missed him, how do you love to be fuck by him all day and night, and all the details.

Steve habit if i may say here is putting the nasty post notes around the house for me, for instance; "wanna suck ur dick" on my fav 2(x)ist hipster or writing how he love love me so much on my protein milk shaker in the freezer! using permanent marker.

We do hold hand or kissing in the public very often, but not in Asian country, consider as taboo.

I am not bragging about my relationship but i believe that you need to take up a serious action when you are with someone that you like so much. Talks about it and see what is your partner reaction.

I am going to miss my smelly(but i like that smell) husband for quite some time, a month or two, and we cant easily get to call each other during these period. North Pole, according to him having very slow telecommunication equipment.

God save me from this loneliness!

Tout en tenant compte que

Lately, I was sooo Lazy!

Steve never would say anything... as long as the foods are serve and his cloths are prepare! lol

The little one was so happy, she will spend her day in nursery, despite language problem, i think she manage it very well and make friends.

End of this month Steve will be in North Pole for a month or so for his latest project. I am very glad for him, and for that he have to undergo series of health screen and survival training. Uhmm I like seeing all his tight muscles. yummy

His mother will stay with us until end of December, she is up with her new books and maybe visiting lecturer here in Berlin University.

I might take up a new position after giving thought to the best and the brightest. Thanks God!

good luck me!

I'm Gonna Make You Love Me

When we registered our marriage at the New York City Marriage Bureau, little that we know about partnership,little that we know about each other needs and requirement and so very little that we know about each other family.

But yet, we take our vows to love each other every day and help each other to understand each other temperament.

Debt Defeaters

Finally, there is some good debt news.

The amount consumers owed on their credit cards in this year's second quarter dropped to the lowest level in more than eight years, reports the Associated Press.

The credit bureau TransUnion says the average bank-issued credit card debt fell to a little less than $5,000 in the three months ended June 30. That's a decrease of 13 percent for the same period a year ago.

Re Assignment

Yeahhhh

I do think or i presume my Senior Director knows i really need this Re Assignment of jobs for 3 weeks in Singapore.

He was looking at me yesterday with his serious facade (lol like i never saw that faces before!... he was my Ex-Professor of Econ)

and congratulate me on my proposal to set up a newly units of R&D for Asean Finances Institutional - Stress Test.

Just a set up lol! at least i have all the reasons to celebrate a meaningful Idul Fitri with my hubby and little one with my Family members in Kuala Lumpur.

We will touch down Changi Airport next week Monday. Oh God Bless so we,Steve and me don't have to get starving for extra period of fasting time compare to what we had now in Berlin, Germany...

and tell me all about the foods... especially Steve's fav Nasi Kandar and Nasi Beriani! yummy2.

But it still a Job Assignment for me thou! at least Steve's and little one are happy. I can keep my happiness to my self as long as Steve is with me. gosh very selfish right!

And I won't go home without you

I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen

She left before I had the chance to say

Oh

The words that would mend the things that were broken

But now it's far too late, she's gone away

Every night you cry yourself to sleep

Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?

Why does every moment have to be so hard?"

Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight

Just give me one more chance to make it right

I may not make it through the night

I won't go home without you

The taste of her breath, I'll never get over

The noises that she made kept me awake

Oh

The weight of things that remain unspoken

Built up so much it crushed us everyday

Every night you cry yourself to sleep

Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?

Why does every moment have to be so hard?"

Hard to believe that

[ Won't Go Home Without You lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

It's not over tonight

Just give me one more chance to make it right

I may not make it through the night

I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight

Just give me one more chance to make it right

I may not make it through the night

I won't go home without you

Of all the things I felt but never really shown

Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go

I should not ever let you go, oh oh oh

It's not over tonight

Just give me one more chance to make it right

I may not make it through the night

I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight

Just give me one more chance to make it right

I may not make it through the night

I won't go home without you

And I won't go home without you

And I won't go home without you

And I won't go home without you

This Weekend

Recently i was running on Bipolar mood! very sure i get it from my hectic bloody schedules of meeting and analyzing tones of report from the series of Banking Stress Test from all over Europe!

Not that i complaining but i have this bad habits for running out of mood and my mouth will go BITCHY on the spot!

Last Tuesday i had an argument with my hubby! over the simplest thing! (i won't elaborate here,probably my Director is reading my blog! feel so stupid) and

with angry moody monster i am, left him and little one in Berlin and off i go for 2 days meeting in Brussels!

What makes me turn to be more angry later on is, my hubby have this kind of habits that he, will not pick up my call, reply my email instantly, Yahoo Messenger me, etc2...

What the fuck!

I left Brussels and went to London for my step sister! Not going anywhere in London, home stay, babysit my step sister children! until...

Hubby send me an email, quite recently! (typical man) asking "Are you coming back today? We (mom,bro,little one and me) are waiting you for summer!"

AND

He add"Don't worry i am not angry with you

Please come back home later on!"

i missed everybody!

HUBBY FORGIVE ME

Nous t'aimons bien

Just came back from my workplace, have a peep over little Sophie in her room, sleeping so good. and she wrote a wish card for me saying"Nous t'aimons bien" we love you very much!

It makes me cry and when i saw my hubby sleeping at the couch, it makes my heart falls apart. I knew that he always horny and want me in his arms, I'm his living pillow, he told me.

I am a bit cheer up tonights, all my efforts and our team efforts has shown some positives result. Euro has reached and closed at E1.3000 yesterday. Our first ever benchmark have somehow shows and better than IMF predictions.

My fight on Austerity VS Stimulus is indeed effectives. I don't have to be on Charlie Ross-Bloomberg TV to proofs it! stupid...

But my straggling to keep my small family happy is at stakes. I can't very well juggling both situations, at least Steve has been very supportive and given me encouragement that I should continue with my doing.

He will make sure everything will be fine.

I can't very well falls asleep after sex, which I normally does! I stare my lovely hubby face and I saw a slight disappointment, (yeahh!!! pleasure face indeed after he get what he wants the most) change to worries and many other.

Steve, please forgive me if I has and always make your life difficult, I have no other attention but for us to live comfortably at least.

Stress Test

Talking about European Stress Test on selected Banking institutions, Gosh i have got myself a BIG STRESS too.

Meeting and series of meeting, i do have several long meeting in a day. But the perks are, as the interviewer we was bribed with five star accommodation, Food and Beverage is above excellent - ehem2 lucky i am Vegan by choice and i have a personal butler when i was in Spain and Portugal.

Awwwww! I like my jobs. I don't mind to keep it more than a year or so. My ECB (Euro Central Bank) Director has given me some good clue yesterday on a piece of paper, during two days finances minister meeting in Brussels.

He ask me "Bist du glucklich? Sie bleiben für längere Zeit?" translated somewhere near like "Are you happy with your current works? Do stay for longer period?".

I am currently attending a night class to improve my Dutch and Finnish. I could communicate well but my writing and reading are below average.

We might be thinking about migrating to European Union too. and judging from our experience last weekend in Oslo, Norway. Northern European seems the best place for all of us.

and thee welcome our kind too. Not to mention the sea side and the people is nice!

Personal Finance - Can Money Buy You Happiness?

Are you happy?

When I ask that question, what aspects of your life immediately leap to mind? Do you think of your significant other, smile, and nod yes, you're happy? Do you measure it by how often you've laughed or felt at peace?

Or did you do a quick accounting of your financial well-being as a way to gauge your contentedness?

Can money buy happiness?

We say it can't because, well, that's what we are supposed to say. But turns out a recent Gallup World survey found people do think money can buy happiness.

"Pulling in the big bucks makes people more likely to say they are happy with their lives overall -- whether they are young or old, male or female, or living in cities or remote villages, the survey of more than 136,000 people in 132 countries found."

Okay, actually money can only buy one component of happiness, according to the poll.

"'Yes, money makes you happy -- we see the effect of income on life satisfaction is very strong and virtually ubiquitous and universal around the world,' said Ed Diener, a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Illinois who led the study. 'But it makes you more satisfied than it makes you feel good. Positive feelings are less affected by money and more affected by the things people are doing day to day.'"

People may initially define their happiness by income because they are comparing themselves to the ubiquitous Joneses--you know, the people who always seem to be living better than you with their nice house, luxury car and trendy clothes. But here's something to consider: Many of the people you envy for their outward appearance of wealth are probably just as jammed up with debt as you are - or a paycheck away from being broke.

The findings from the poll were published in the July issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The survey involved detailed questioning in 2005 and 2006 of 136,839 residents age 15 and older.

The study also shows how the United States compared with several countries on the happiness scale.

So have you measured your happiness by how much money you have, and if so, how's that working for you?

"Can Money Buy You Happiness?"

South Africa 2010- FIFA World Cup

Sport is good, and competing in any sports under your country badge is yet superior and double the enormity if you have won a medal and brought a pride for your country.

But sport has it very own meaning these years after millennium, if you want to judge the sport during ancient Greek civilization; which is to halt the war from far arising and to unite every people of the world, very much indigenous ideas.

My Favorite team

What i have foreseen from now on, sports have a great interest among opportunists. It has by all meant created a wealth, not only for the players, but to the great venture of business deal.

Where great opportunity now comes with great deal of profits!

I have read somewhere in FIFA bulletin clearly mention that World Cup 2010 in South Africa has already dwarfing World Cup 2006 in Germany.

And what is this meaning?

It clearly understated that the increase of funds from Private Corporation with an exclusive agreement from rights to broadcast to the official complimentary items and everything from foods and beverages.

FIFA have Six Major Sponsors altogether and Three Innovative Sponsors for World Cup 2010. This summer’s World Cup in South Africa is estimated to make a record $3.34 billion.

My question is! What is the Return of Investment to South Africa states, apart from local tourism? From record breaking profits for World Cup 2010, how much will these benefits the people of South Africa?

Point to ponder!

Official Receipts

It is official to me now that all ECB (European Central Bank) Staff are not allowed in any form of writing any reviews or comments or produce whatsoever publication in any media stream without the approval from ECB's council.

So, no more writing on economics of the world! i'll be devastated! but hopefully you guys are keen enough to get the ECB publication to read my words of art.

I am still a bloody academician deep in my heart, either i publish or i sagging myself for mere entertainment or attention on street.

I find myself walking in the street of Berlin or maybe Frankfurt again. I have already missed New York City. and i missed my darling husband so much!

La Fête du Canada!

formerly Dominion Day ( Le Jour de la Confédération), is Canada’s national day, the federal holiday commemorating the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united two British colonies and a province of the British Empire into a single country called Canada.

The birth of a Canadian national identity was a protracted and lengthy process! Indeed the Canadian Constitution was enacted formerly by Elizabeth II as Queen of Canada brought the act into effect with a proclamation she signed in Ottawa on April 17, 1982. The date Canada became fully independent from The United Kingdom in all legal aspects.

Culture, With a Splash of Cocktails

I am back in NYC for the Sex and the City ala Desperate Housewife- but totally in GAY version! minus the White Gay Wedding Theme! ewwww

So! as much as i loved the summer here, i feel very much envious over looking the peoples gathering around in-front of the museum garden!

gee i was working like tomorrow never end for G8 and G20 submit, you guys are buzzing your butt hanging out for a piece of sun....wtf

Sophistication is the name of the game at Cocktails@Cooper-Hewitt, a weekly party in the museum's garden, the largest private green space in Manhattan.

Jazz is the preferred soundtrack, views are of Central Park, and this summer's parties are themed to the museum's ongoing National Design Triennial—"Why Design Now?"—open during the event. $15 per entrance.

Oh darling! don't be fool by the outer color of the museum, it is everything but posh and elegant from outside!

Let me introduce what inside the building really are?

Can the USA and Europe cut their way to economic prosperity? Probably not.

If British voters thought they had replaced the dour visage of Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown with an optimistic one in fresh-faced Tory David Cameron, they were sadly mistaken.

On June 7, the new PM Cameron brought down the hammer, telling the British public that the most urgent issue ahead "is our massive deficit and our growing debt.

How we deal with these things will affect our economy and our society, indeed our whole way of life." With a deficit set to top 11 percent of gross domestic product this year, and a debt of $1.12 trillion and rising,

Cameron prescribed a harsh regimen of spending cuts and possible tax increases. Tony Blair's motto was "Cool Britannia." Cameron's is likely to be "Austerity Now!"

most developed economies responded to the global financial crisis in 2008 and '09 with stimulus: They increased government spending and cut taxes.

In slack times, the government needs to fill in for diminished private demand. But 2010 is shaping up to be a year of parsimony.

To win support for an international bailout, Greece enacted a tough package of budget cuts and tax increases.

Spain's left-wing government at the end of May slashed civil-servant pay by 5 percent and froze pensions—even though one in five Spaniards is out of work.

Recently, German Chancellor Angela Merkel unveiled a $144 billion package that would raise taxes on airline flights and cut defense spending and public works—and Germany's deficit is a manageable 5 percent of GDP.

We're not hearing that kind of rhetoric in the United States yet, but the new austerity has crossed the pond.

Even though unemployment remains at 9.7 percent, a proposed jobs bill out of concern for the deficit. President Obama recently called for federal agencies to identify cuts of up to 5 percent in 2012.

States and cities are slashing budgets and raising taxes! Paul Krugman has called "the pain caucus" is in the ascendancy.

Many, especially slow-growing, highly indebted countries in southern Europe see austerity as a way to avoid the fate of Greece. Others are reacting to fears of stimulus-induced inflation.

So, my simple piece of word would be " Lets avoid the WAR!"

People ain't learning anything that WAR will and never would brings any balanced in their social life. and i better stop here.
