Signs That Someone Is A Pinoy Social Climber

[prettytessa0526]

^^ kakatawa... nagtatrabaho siya sa CRUISE???? Am I right?? Looks like she works there. Iniisip ko na lang baka may pinag-yayabangan lang yan. Or may pinatatamaan.

Oo sa cruise, Chambermaid. Buti sana kung receptionist sya eh. I have nothing against Chambermaids ha. kaya lang alam o yung sobrang hangin na talaga! Nakakairita na, kaya hide ko na lang mga posts nya sa fb, instead of unfriending her. At ang nakaka asar pa, pag may nakapuna sa kanya, iisipin nya naiinggit sa kanya! O db? Hindi ba pwedeng asar muna bago na iinggit?

^^HAHA...Meron naman iba ganyan lang sa FB pero HINDI naman ma-ere sa personal or matalak sa ganyan, eh ok.. baka nga may pinagyayabangan LANG -online. Either sa relatives-or kaaway.

-Pero kung iisipin mahirap ang work sa CRUISE-ang oras nila sobrang "slave" sila sa trabaho. Binasa ko ulit yung post, niya parang feeling ko talagang outlet niya lang yun talaga-para labanan yung pagkabagot sa sobrang trabaho dun, tapos malayo sa mga anak,... at lungkot na puros dagat lang nakikita mo??!

Mangungutang sa kin tapos after mga 2 hours magchecheck in sa FB sa isang mahal na resto.

And you wonder why maraming social climbers sa Pinas?

Daiju is trying to be funny but the comment is very telling. There are similar comments on this thread; at best they are clueless, at worst, cruel. Our society is not kind to those who are poor or different.

Who among you haven't experienced shabby treatment when you entered Rustans wearing humble attire? Sino sa atin ang hindi nakaranas ng peer pressure? Who hasn't felt the pressure to keep up with the Joneses?

That's why there's so much pressure to conform. And when you're immature and insecure, you tend to do stupid things, like get into debt to maintain appearances. Bahala na magutom basta mukhang sosyal. It's pathetic, but it's also terribly, profoundly sad.

If people treated one another with respect despite our manner of dress and our looks and our background, we would be more accepting of ourselves and each other. There would be less pressure to keep up appearances. Living in a classist society, in a country as dirt-poor as ours, is hard enough as it is. So please, let's stop being judgmental, okay?

Bravo Catkin! I have the same sentiments too.

[watertowater]

One lesson you could learn from this thread is: be yourself. Basta nga, if you try to fit in with a different class of people, the result is almost always laughable. I mean, when I try to act masa, I fail horribly!

kapag may gf ka na pero pinakasalan mo yung may edad mong boss or anak ng boss
alam na

I really don't understand what do we mean when we say "social climber", honestly... maybe because I do not look into any social status, I look into the human quality with higher regard...

Pag ang mahirap ba is trying to imitate the lifestyle of the rich ones, social climber na siya non?

what if yung mayaman is trying to live like the poor people, ano tawag doon? social descending? hehe

bakit pag yung mayaman ang nanggagaya, we consider it noble, pero pag yung mahirap, we consider it kahiyahiya?

what about yung mga pinoy na nag papakawestern style or korean, japanese etc. social climber din ba sila?

Isn't it that moving from one stage to another is natural, and shall we not all strive to move from one stage to another? it is the way to experience life. real status is not determined by material things, but by the true way of life. status is only in the mind but in reality there is none, we are all equally free to chose the what, who, and how of our life. if you look into the concept of "social climber" in a bad way, we must not forget, that some times in our journey in this life we are all social climber at some point...

It's called immersion.

^ Exactly what I was about to say.

Or those who name drop.

"You know my friend si ano, (insert famous person here), the (insert reputation here)? Yeah we hang all the time, last time we went to Opus, have you been there? Not yet? It's so cool there, man. Ano eehh... daming chicks kaya I go there every week ehhh."

Sarap batukan.

I'm guilty of that.

It's called immersion.

Not immersion but slumming ang tawag dun. Immersion ang term na ginagamit ng mga Catholic schools lalo na ang Ateneo (man for others) para mas noble. But nothing is noble about being poor kaya slumming is also derided b/c it is condescending. Walang poor ang gusto maging poor. And you can never be one with the poor dahil meron ka pang mababalikan anytime ayaw mo na. (Remember the song Common People by Pulp). Sa isang banda, anong masama kung gusto mo ng magagandang gamit o bagay? You only live once, e di bilhin mo na kung kaya mo naman.
Nung mga bata pa kami ng mga kapatid ko, people were begrudging the fact that my father sent us all to exclusive schools. He was called social climber. I think they gloated when I started to study sa public (very good public school, btw). Manny Pacquiao and showbiz personalities like Richard Gomez were called social climbers pero hindi sila Manny Villar, Gokongwei and Lucio Tan na pare- parehong galing sa hirap. Both Goma and Manny earned their way to the top. TIngin ko may halong inggit yun kaya ganun.

if you purchase something out of excess money, that's not social climbing.
if you save or purchase worth 6 months of credit over a gadget, that i consider social climbing.
me mga bagay na para lang sa maykaya. umakto ng naaayon sa estado sa buhay.

... naka latest gadget ka nga nagrerenta ka naman ng bahay... bumili ka muna ng bahay
... kung makaasta kala mo sariling kotse, company provided naman
... kung makaarte kala mo kung saang galing na pamilya eh kung titingnan mo ang history galing naman
sa kung saang public school o hindi kilalang eskwelahan tapos naka-angat lang konti me mga
pa-eww2x na sa isaw o pagkain sa kalsada...
... me iba pa na feeling rich, hindi naman nila pera, kung nde sa magulang galing sa napangasawang
mayaman. walang integrity ang perang hindi mo pinag-hirapan. kahit mayayamang anak,
pinagtatrabahuhang palaguin ang pera ng pamilya.
... ayaw magsuot ng hindi branded pero kahit anong mahal ng suot nagmumukhang peke ang suot.

hindi pagiging social climber ang mag eww sa pagkain sa kalsada kasi halos lahat naman yan marumi talaga.
ang dami daming sakit na pwedeng makuha dyan.

tingnan ko lang kung masabi mo pa yan kapag nagka hepatitis ka na kakakain ng street foods.
