Straight Answer

-
When dealing with clients, it is usual not to overcommit to lessen the scope of work and avoid possible problems that cannot be overcome in the project timeline. Experienced marketing executives normally beat around the bush to confuse clients who are not too sharp. Even the terms used are usually guarded and noncommittal, for example IN A WAY and INDIRECTLY, YES. Recently I have been hearing a lot of these phrases from my project coordinator. It is down right annoying to be used in internal discussions. If we cannot even give each other a straight answer, how are we going to deliver a coherent product?

Can you finish the development on time? I think I will just answer, IN A WAY.

IN A WAY, you are right that fellas often adopt bullshit & run around-the-bush to buy time. Many clients & pigs are sometimes no different these days. Agree?

I always say maybe, probably, I think so, should be. Not good.

Can. show them your progress schedule chart on paper, update weekly, better still, daily, and they don't ask a lot. Pictures say a thousand words.

When it comes to estimations or checking reasonableness, actuaries tend to use words such as appear, seems, most likely, possibly, maybe etc.

However, in setting out our scope of work, we try to be as exact as possible and in fact, we may also list down things we won't do. It helps a lot.

LOL... in some situation, it is unavoidable. As we can't really promise anything during that particular period of time. Well, let's try not to do that too often. :p

Coat West Star II: Sho

This is a follow up post from my Nagi post. Sho is another favorite of GV producerr COAT WEST. I usually see him as a top but on rare occassions, he could be seen penetrated by Nagi and Hikaru. What's hotter than seeing a hunk being on the receiving end once in a while? His body is never very defined, but he is definitely sexy. Kinda like Johan Paulik of Bel Ami fame. SHO Name: sho Name：Sho（翔） Height：180cm Weight：70kg Age：21 (during Sho Only Shining Star) Birth date：Unknown (1985) There is no girlfriend: Now there are ... ... (sho is very shy yo ~) Girlfriend?：Yes Dated for：Half a year Type of girl he fancies：Petite～ Makes people have an urge to protect them, cute when running (in small steps) Wants his girlfriend to call him：Sho-kun（翔君） (I can do that!) First love：Elementary year 4, with a girl from the next class First H：Freshman Type of H he likes：Both parties desire it First “solo” experience：Elementary years Number of times a week：Doesn’t do it very o...

Kensei

Been a long time since I wrote about Japanese GV actors. There's this one guy called Kensei (for COAT ) who looks really cute in my opinion. Has an angular face with cute eyes. Also a sunny smile with a gap tooth, though it's rare. And he has a nice physique ( nice pecs, abs, thighs, not overly-developed ) that is coupled with a tanned complexion ( I don't need my boys to be tanned, but I'm sure many out there like that kinda thing ). Very sporty. Looks great in Speedos and track suits. Really can carry off the athlete look. Perfect with the exception of his package-- not so well-endowed compared to his peers in the industry. I'm not a size queen, so I don't mind. Overall, a handsome fella. On his 'acting skills', he's not exactly expressive ( think Keanu Reeves ), but of course I can overlook that. One of the titles puts his statistics as 188 cm, 78 kg, and 18 years old. Not too sure about the age. Think that's fabricated. I've seen h...

Osamu or Naoya?

-
Image
There's a GV actor from KO-Video that I have my eyes on with the name OSAMU AMAGASA ( a 20 year old with an athletic body ). If I'm not mistaken, he later signed with Coat as TAIIKUKAI SEIHA NAOYA . Also seen him with Coat. From what I've seen, he's a versatile fella with a hefty package. But I really like to seem him on the receiving end cause he OBVIOUSLY enjoys it when he is filled. Really sexy to see. In Coat's "Get Athlete Conquest - Naoya", I loved seeing him bobbing up and down while taking it like a canine. Such a turn on especially when the other guy services him at the same time. Also saw his performance in KO-Surprise!'s "Just Do It!" where he was paired with the twinky Asuka Aizawa. Loved his moans while he was being explored. He has appeared in other newer videos but they have yet to appear in torrents. I'll be keeping a look out!
