"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

What Drives Consumers' Purchasing Behavior of Petrol Car Engine Oil?


What Drives Consumers' Purchasing Behavior of Petrol Car Engine Oil?

In order to survive and also to stay ahead of the competition, clearer understanding of the current factors that influence the engine oil purchasing factors is necessary;

We have two main factors; marketing mix and consumer characteristics, does have a factors were tested to see if they were valid and had a correlation with the actual purchasing actions.

The Prominent factors influencing the purchasing behavior came out to be "Value for Money", "Level of Consumers" Direct Accessibility of Contact", "Adventurous" and "Social Acceptance".

All of these factors portrayed correlations with the actual engine oil purchasing behavior except for the "Value for Money" aspect.

In nutshell, at the end of the present study(2009) in United States of America:

1 - Value for money is NOT related to the actual purchasing action.

2- Consumers' direct accessibility or contact i positively related to the actual purchasing action.

3- Social acceptance is positively related to the actual purchasing action.

4- Adventurous character of consumer is positively related to the actual purchasing action.

Our National Debt...



That’s what the National Debt topped this week, a record.


Go ahead, let it soak in: Thirteen trillion, fifty billion, eight hundred twenty-six million, four hundred sixty thousand, eight hundred eighty-six dollars . . . and ninety-seven cents.



Seen on the “debt clock” in Times Square,My hubby Mr Steve are saying that number seems little more than an abstraction, something almost impossible to process.


But think about it this way: If you earned one dollar every second, it would take you 416,000 years to earn enough money to pay it off. Or consider: Alex Rodriguez earned $33 million last year, making him the highest paid player in baseball. It would take nearly 400,000 Rodriguezes to earn that much money.


But that’s what our children and grandchildren now owe.


Actually, that’s just part of the debt we have dumped on future generations. That’s because most of what the government owes isn’t on the official books.


No wonder the bond-rating firm Moody’s recently warned that the US government was at risk of losing its AAA credit rating.

This is not a partisan issue. When the bastard George W. Bush became president, the entire federal budget was $1.2 trillion. By the time he left office, it was $2.9 trillion, the biggest increase since World War II. A budget surplus in 2000 had become a $400 billion deficit at the end of Bush’s term.

But President Obama makes Bush look like a skinflint. He’s proposed a budget this year that would top $3.8 trillion.

His signature initiative so far is a new health care entitlement, which will add hundreds of billions to the federal deficit over the next 10 years, and trillions more beyond that


Congress doesn’t seem to care, treating debt as an abstraction, monopoly money, someone else’s problem. Let them deal with what happens when the US becomes Greece. Except that day may be sooner than they think.

There is no way to tax our way out of this mess. Just keeping up with currently projected spending would require raising both the corporate tax rate and top income tax rate from their current 35% to 88%, the current 25% tax rate for middle-income workers to 63%, and the 10% tax bracket for low-income workers to 25%.


And that’s just at the federal level. State and local taxes would be added on top of that.

Does anyone really believe that our economy can survive that kind of taxation?


If Democrats and Republicans continue to spend like drunken sailors, it won’t really matter who pays the bar bill.


Whether government borrows the money or raises it in taxes, every dollar that government spends is a dollar siphoned off from American workers, making us less productive, less prosperous and less free.


Sooner or later, someone is going to have to have the courage to say “No.”

The Booty Comes to Me



IT has comes to me! lalalala

I know lots of secret! heheheheh (with devilish smile)

Does everybody knows? before 9/11 tragedy, the state of economy of USA is no more dominated by Jews Corporation/Individual.

It was lead by the Middle East Financial House. ( YES YES, i have the reports in front of me, now) and the same situation occurs in EU too.

The Oils Economic Factor, i called it. and How is the state of investment after 9/11?

Never better...hahahahah!

The Domino power does not make an investment from Middle East smaller!

So, if we thoughts that Western Economics Fortune are growing on its own! you are so wrong!

Will Great Britain survive after few European Union Countries collapses?

How many Corporation in London Stock Exchange owned by Foreign Entity?
Tell me Sir! what is the current state of spending of Great Britain?

Will the Queen of England @ the Royal Family willingly by all meant selling their Crown Jewel to bailout this beloved country?

Call me NASTY BUGGER! but if the state of Economics of Great Britain is not moving in the next 6 month! disaster will that be!

As we (Group of Economists) have presented in our report to EU. Why EU must stand United in their decisions to save @ bailout the PIGS (Portugal, Italy/Iceland, Greece & Spain) ?

Simply to have to secured the Domino's effects from spreading the entire Europe, 1. 2nd would be to secure the continuous investment from Foreign states! and last is to reinstate the Euro.

Euro might need to be block or put to one value in the next seasons only IF they should know the reasons!

What with Open Market when you are not sure what should be open and what should not be open.

Like i always said " World are Dominated by STUPID PEOPLE" who very much likely to "SWEEP ALL THE PROBLEM UNDER THE CARPET". and

before you notice it! These has already turns to BAD, STINKY, ROTTEN ASSHOLE that non ANTI-AGING CREAM SOLUTION would do any good to em!
Just like MJ's. I do pity him btw....

To Where You Are

Who can say for certain
Maybe you�re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You�re still an inspiration
Can it be (? )
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you�re there
A breath away�s not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn�t faith believing
All power can�t be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
�cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you�re there
A breath away�s not far
To where you are

I know you�re there
A breath away�s not far
To where you are

South of France - Galore Weekend

I feel dizzy,
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine,
And so pretty,
Miss America can just resign!

La la la la la...

WOW! such an opening remarks!

Yes, we are in Toulouse, France. But not for a party! I've got meeting with several diplomats from various country.

Too boring to tell tales about the meeting! the best part is We (oui, Steve, Little one and me) drove direct to South of France, right after the meeting. I am not staying for the Dinner Party that night.

Oh oui Madame!

South of France is known for their NUDE Bitches! awwwww

If you want to not only be able to sunbathe in the naked, but also be able to spend your whole day in the buff- shopping naked, eating naked, even buying your baguette naked.

Cap d'Agde

is the place!
(betul cik kiah! minum bola, makan bola, tidur bola, semua jenis bola ko nampak noqs!)
Translation for international readers:
Drinks cock, eat cock, sleep cock and all sorta cock!)

Complete with its own doctors, banks, shopping and dining for the nudists.

and that certainly reminisce me during my study in United Kingdoms!
We have Nudists Village (betul tak CLEO LEE AL pattah)
and
TESCO is open for Nudists after midnight! awwwwww
(you should give a try NIK the GREEK)

hah! IZUAN! a friendly reminder
DON'T ever try this at HOME...


To answer all doubts
YES! We are little bit NUDISTS couple here!
We are very cool with that!

Where i am......



Very good morning from Brussels.

It has come to my understanding that US Senate votes to continue debating a bill that would overhaul financial regulations, dealing a setback to Democratic leaders, who wanted to move towards a final vote on the legislation.

The motion to end debate fell three votes short of the two-thirds majority required.

On the other hand Germany has taken up the next control measure by ban in "naked" short-selling. Where speculators sell assets they do not own, in the country's top banks, eurozone government bonds and credit protection on those bonds.

If only United States of America (during bastard bush's administration) would realize ages before economics turmoil, we could be save under the jacket!

Yes! i am now stand on my two feet with a gun's fully loaded. Back on working with European Central Bank (ECB). I' m in the Committee put for G20 meeting next month, focus on the Investment terms for the whole bailout systems to save Euro.

Too many people to meet and remember! apart from working under urgent atmosphere, it look like everybody knew me out of blue and time is the essence and future lies in-front.
