From American Idol 8's finalist Kris Allen's pre-Idol EP

"I Was Played"

What if we were alone
Would you be the same
As yesterday in a crowded room?

Well, I'm not judging
I'm just wondering
What I'd see for when it's just me and you
And if you tell me it's not,
But I can see right through you

Cause you're saying things
I've never heard,
And this side of you,
I've never seen before

Where you been hiding?
Sister, who are you?
I know it's not easy being only you
Glad I know you now
'Cause now I know who you really are
Guess all along, I was played

How'd you keep this part of you far from me?
Thought I you knew you oh-so-completely
I liked what I saw
Until you broke down those walls and let me see you
I know this sounds bad,
But I hope I'm not wastin' my time on you

You're doing things
I've never seen,
And this side of you
Is killing me now

Where you been hiding?
Sister, who are you?
I know it's not easy being only you
Glad I know you now
'Cause now I know who you really are
Guess all along, I was played

Where you been hiding?
Cause I know it's not easy doing what you do
Glad I know you now
'Cause now I know who you really are
Guess all along, I was played
Guess all along, I was played
Guess all along, I was played

Secret-Keeper

Mon, 11 May 2009 11:28:21 GMT

A Secret-Keeper is a person designated to keep a secret by means of the Fidelius Charm. The Secret-Keeper is the only person who is capable of revealing the protected information to others, either by informing them orally or by writing it down. This individual will become bound by the Fidelius Charm as well. If a Secret-Keeper dies, all the people already aware of the secret information become Secret-Keepers. From Harry Potter Wiki.

It's one thing to be trusted. And a very different "another thing" to be Secret-Keeper... You're rewarded death threats. Hayz.

Nakita ko rin dun si Kuya Bel na nakita na rin finally ang school/work uniform ko. Subsidized ng work niya ang Gym. Subsidized ng work ko ang 50% ng plain rice ng lunch namin.

At nawalang saysay ang isang linggong kapaguran at oatmeal dinner dahil sa free stay dito (andito ako, as of "typing") sa Traders Hotel kung saan swak sa mga nag-aaral ng Nihonggo. Yellow Cab, KFC, at mega breakfast buffet bukas.

that just simply take me away
and the feeling that i'm falling further in love
makes me shiver but in a good way
all the times i have sat and stared
as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
and she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,
with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say
coz i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
coz she’s all that I see and she’s all that I need
and i'm out of my league once again

Toyota projects first operating loss since 1941
Monday December 22, 8:17 am ET
By Yuri Kageyama, AP Business Writer

Toyota projects first operating loss since 1941 due to slumping demand and strong yen

NAGOYA, Japan (AP) -- Toyota Motor Corp. slashed its earnings forecast Monday, projecting that it would report its first annual operating loss for the fiscal year through March -- its first such loss since it began reporting results in 1941.

Battered by falling demand from consumers around the world and a surging yen, Toyota and other Japanese automakers have been reducing earnings outlooks and cutting workers.

"The change that has hit the world economy is of a critical scale that comes once in a hundred years," President Katsuaki Watanabe said at the company's Nagoya office. The drop in vehicle sales over the last month was "far faster, wider and deeper than expected."

Toyota forecast an operating loss of 150 billion yen ($1.66 billion) for the fiscal year ending March 2009. Toyota has never reported an operating loss since it began disclosing such figures in 1941. But it did have an operating loss in unofficial, internal calculations for the year ending March 1938 a year after the company was founded.

Operating income reflects a company's core business performance and does not include income taxes and certain other expenses. Last fiscal year, Toyota had an operating profit of 2.27 trillion yen.

Japan's top automaker also lowered its net profit forecast to just 50 billion yen ($555 million) for the year through March 2009 -- a tiny fraction of the 1.7 trillion yen it earned last year.

Falling sales in the U.S. in the wake of the financial crisis have dealt a heavy blow to Japanese automakers. But Watanabe said that emerging markets, which had held up in the beginning, were also slowing down now.

The surging yen has battered profits as well by eroding overseas earnings when converted back to yen. The dollar has fallen to 13-year lows of about 90 yen recently.

This is the second time Toyota -- which makes the popular Camry sedan and Prius gas-electric hybrid -- has reduced it annual earnings forecast this year. Initially, it had been projecting 1.25 trillion yen ($13.9 billion) in net profit for the year through March 2009, but last month it reduced that to 550 billion yen ($6.1 billion) before chopping it further Monday.

It also lowered the number of vehicles it expects to sell globally this calendar year to 8.96 million, down 4 percent from a year ago, Watanabe told reporters.

Unlike previous years, he gave no goal for vehicle sales for 2009. He also gave no earnings forecast for the following fiscal year, ending March 2010, noting the company didn't have a sales plan yet.

Tsuyoshi Mochimaru, auto analyst for Barclays Capital in Tokyo, said that Toyota will likely continue to struggle next year because U.S. auto sales won't start recovering until toward the end of 2009, and the dollar may also lag.

"The problem is next year," he said, while adding that the latest revisions were within expectations. "It's unmistakable that things are extremely tough for Toyota."

In July, Toyota lowered its global vehicle sales target for 2008 to 9.5 million from the initial 9.85 million. Last year, it sold 9.37 million vehicles around the world.

Toyota also lowered its sales forecast for the fiscal year through March to 21.5 trillion yen ($239 billion), down about 18 percent from the previous fiscal year. It had earlier projected 23 trillion yen in sales.

Grabbing attention in recent years has been whether Toyota would dethrone Detroit-based General Motors Corp. as the world's No. 1 in annual vehicles sales.

But the mood was pure gloom at the president's annual year-end event.

Watanabe and other executives said production expansion plans and other investment will be on hold, including a new plant in the southern U.S. state of Mississippi and new vehicle plans in India, until the global market recovers.

Watanabe vowed Toyota would grow so lean it will be able to realize profitability even if its worldwide sales slide to as low as 7 million vehicles -- what he called the basic "bottom line" for Toyota.

He promised his workers would offer "ideas as well as sweat" to steer the automaker through difficult times.

Mitsuo Kinoshita, a Toyota executive, said he hoped the results for the fiscal year through March would mark a bottom, with recovery expected the following fiscal year, partly boosted by a drop in material prices.

Soaring prices of steel and oil had been a negative for the automakers, but they have fallen back in recent months. Toyota has cut 130 billion yen ($1.4 billion) in costs for the fiscal year, through various measures, Kinoshita said.

But an unfavorable currency shifts will slash 200 billion yen ($2.2 billion) from its results for the fiscal year through March, while marketing activities eroded another 570 billion yen ($6.3 billion), according to Toyota.

Although plans to develop a diesel engine with Japanese partner Isuzu Motors will be stalled, Toyota will continue to invest in hybrids and other ecological technology, the executives said, as a long-term investment for growth.

Toyota's U.S. vehicles sales plunged by a third on year in November, when overall sales fell to their lowest level in more than 26 years. And there is little hope for a quick recovery as consumers hold back big purchases amid a serious downturn.

While Japan's automakers are in far better financial shape than the cash-strapped American counterparts, the global slowdown is hitting them hard.

"The crisis we face now is totally different from past crises," said Watanabe.

At a similar news conference last week from Honda Motor Co. President Takeo Fukui, Japan's No. 2 automaker also lowered profit and sales forecast and declined to give a vehicle sales goal for 2009.

Toyota said it will reduce thousands of temporary workers at its Japan plants, but said their full-time employees will have job security. Toyota is a relatively old-style Japanese corporation that offers lifetime employment, and in only recent years has hired and let go of temporary workers to adjust production.

The company's stock fell 5 yen, or 0.17 percent, to 2,895 yen.
