Step In The Arena - Gang Starr

Sometimes, the status messages of your friends from Yahoo Messenger can be very insightful. I should know, because people commend my status messages like that.

I don't think they're joking either.

Kidding and (mock) bragging aside, today's insightful message came from one of the brilliant minds from my batch. Dan Dizon, in particular. He was a very influential student and has been elected the student council president for the College of Engineer. He is now taking his masters degree at Berkeley. Needless to say, his status message often contains sharp observations and is laced with dark humor. (Note to Dan: please send me money for being your endorser. You're rich anyway.)

His status message read, "If the company pays you x, you are worth 10x. That's business."

I'm very sorry to tell you, Dan, but I disagree. Although I am not honored with farce and flabulous fierce and fabulous writer Malu Fernandez's "acerbic tit wit", my observations is better than your observations!

Behold, my Phoenix Bites Tiger Ass kung fu technique!

if a company pays you x, you're actually worth y. Not the same, but you bet y > x.
When in conference room, however, your boss is worth Z. Meaning, nakakaantok (translation: yawn-worthy).
During overtimes when only a boy and a girl remains in the company, the office is worth X to the power of 3.

[Dan interrupts: Brilliant, Jou!]

Nah. More like, ass-like.

Resuming…

When you're absent, you're worth 1/x where x is an integer. The rest of the company will spend their watercooler/lunch breaks speaking ill of every absent colleagues.
Your contract is worth 0 (zero) if you work in a country whose legal system is as efficient as my country's.
A Starbucks coffee most likely costs more than X. So save money, dammit!
That's business!
"That's business" is worth infinite. Above the law. Barbie toys have leads? That's business. Tim Yap condones hedonism? That's business. Recto certificates? That's business. Tasaday? ZTE? Iraq War? Paris Hilton? That's… well, you do the math.

Shop with fake watch get the fake Ulysse Nardin watch, replica Guess sales. They are stylish high quality replica U-Boat made to be functional, durable, and attractive. What’s more, prices of all their knockoff fake Piaget watch are quite favorable. Rado Watches certainly could bring you replica TAG Heuer watches without asking for what Omega replica want you to pay.br>br>I have heard about the replica Raymond Weil watches from my friend and have heard about their prices too. To be frank, I did not believe him when he told me the prices at which he was purchasing those ムートンブーツ Glashutte replica. I had seen him wearing one of them and if he had not informed me, I would have never believed that it was not the original but just Concord Watches. Fake would not be the right word to use, since these Ferrari replica are of the highest quality and are as close to the original as possible. Some people do not understand this and they term the Chopard replica as Ebel Watches.Most of the replica Movado are available for sale on countless websites, but there are a number of shady ones too. When going in to purchase fake Ebel watch you should know what you want. It does help if you have an idea about the real Rolex when you are going in to purchase fake Richard Mille watch. I am stressing about the fake sites and the knowledge about replica Graham because there are different grades of them. The best quality Movado Watches are assembled using parts sourced from Switzerland and they cost the most. Even then, they are far less costly than their real counterparts. Then comes the replica Mont Blanc watches that are made out of parts from Japan and these too are ugg ブーツ通販 quite good, but cost less than the Swiss ones. The last are the replica Glashutte watches that are made in China. These cost of these replica Movado watches are far less compared to the ones assembled from Swiss parts, but still their workmanship is quite good and they are extremely faithful as far as maintaining time is concerned. There are some cheaters who pass of third replica Patek Philippe as replica Raymond Weil and these are the ones you should keep an eye out for. Just take the replica Longines watches in your hand and you will be able to judge that they are fakes of Michele Watches. Their weight, build quality, quality of the casing etc , will shout out at you proclaiming that they should not be purchased. The looks, build and weight of Omega Watches are just like the originals and even fool the experts. They provide you with value for money and assure you of fpjbecksas@ecwmm.com a long relationship with your wrist. Wearing replica Oris watches will cause others to look at you enviously and you will be the talk of the party. After all it is not everyday that one spots people wearing fake Longines watch to a party. Those who see the Jacob & Co Watches will think that you’re wearing the original. You should have been convinced by now, so go get some TAG Heuer Watches.
