The Weakness on Me

by Joan Armatrading

I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you, I give my affection, right from the start.
I have a lover who loves me - how could I break such a heart?
Yet still you get my attention.

Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?
And make me lie when I don't want to,
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
Make me stay when I should not?
If you're so strong then resolve the weakness in me.
Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly.

Feeling guilty,
And I'm worried, and I'm waking from a tormented sleep
'Cause this old love, you know it has me bound,
But this new love cuts so deep.
If I choose now, I'm bound to lose out;
One of you is gonna have to fall...
I need you, baby.

Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?
And make me lie when I don't want to,
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
Make me stay when I should not?
If you're so strong then resolve the weakness in me.
Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly.

Japan offers 10,000 free trips???

Japan offers 10,000 free trips to foreigners—report
 source: inquirer.net


TOKYO – Japan will offer 10,000 foreigners free airfares to visit the country next year, in an attempt to boost the tourism industry which has been hit by the ongoing nuclear disaster, a report said Monday. 

The Japan Tourism Agency plans to ask would-be travellers to submit *online applications for the free flights, detailing which areas of the country they would like to visit, the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper said.  The agency will select the successful entrants and ask them to write a report about their trip which will be published on the Internet. 

Tourism authorities hope that positive reports from travellers about their experiences in Japan will help ease international worries about visiting the country, the newspaper said.  The programme, which will require travellers to cover other costs such as accommodation, is expected to start from next April, subject to government budgetary approval. 

The number of foreign tourists to Japan fell more than 50 percent year-on-year during the three months after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that triggered meltdowns and explosions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.  The sharp drop began to ease somewhat in the summer.  In June and July, tourist figures were down 36 percent from a year ago, easing to 32 percent in August as the country worked to reassure foreign tourism markets. 

The government has said Japan is safe except for the immediate vicinity of the crippled plant, where work crews are still trying to bring the facility to a cold shutdown.

Sounds good to me... :) need to start saving "OKANE", ne???!!!   ^_______~


*i wonder where to submit the application....

DEAL??? We Got a Deal??? or NO DEAL???

WARNING!!!
don't be fooled by this:

I saw the SAME HP PLANNER at NATIONAL BOOKSTORE C.Raymundo yesterday costing to P249.75!!! How come they are trying to convince online customers that THESE ITEMS are of 50% off!!!

This was my first buy at CashCashPinoy!!! and i never imagined i'll be fooled just like that.


I hope this won't happen again in the future.  I had my voucher ready for printing (in .pdf format), and i will see to it that i will make sure that i would not be fooled again by their MARKETING SCHEME!!!

tsk! tsk! Such a lousy scheme to do!!!  >.<

NEXT TIME: (this is what i learned!)
1. don't panic buying!
2. make extra research before buying ONLINE (most especially!)
3. ask for reviews

DEAL??? We Got a Deal??? or NO DEAL???

Bye Harry... Hello Harry Potter........

I watched the last installment of Harry Potter just last week (July 24 to be exact), and for a moment, there was excitement (to know what'll happen since i haven't read the book hehehe) and loneliness as well, since i know for a fact that this will be the last movie...

Though i had to admit, i was a bit disappointed with the ending, i thought i'll be seeing more actions from their fight, but come to think of it, i've come to like and admire Severus Snape's character...

That is why, i'm NOW ready to read the whole book series... ^_____^

Welcome Back, Harry... ^___^

XeVen:Thvrsday...u have been missed.
