lowly
as equals
like they don't exist
sa pinas lang ata ang di nagliligpit ng pinagkainan sa mga fastfud e.
anyways balik sa topic, yong iba kasing mga sosi papicture lang sa eksena.kunwari down to earth, pandagdag pogi sa profile nila incase mag ambisyon sila sa politika.pero nunka, masuka suka sila pag di nila kalalevel ang kaharap.mga hipokrito lang mga yan.
i can't really generalize, because i know only a few "high society" class. they do act ok when they're with us. but there are always flashes of "elitist attitude", which if seen prima facie might be concluded as bigotry. but i believe they were just raised in a different environment.
that's why i'm thankful about those social welfare trips to far flung provinces to help the less fortunate. they get to see life in another light.![]()
Wow... for once, I agree with you!
Like n2knee, I used to carry out my trays by myself... at pinagtatawanan din ako... uh... di ba good manners lang yun?
It's hard to say... kasi mayroon akong kilalang "raised by the rich" na elitist, at mayroong hindi. It's all how they were raised. Kung humble yung parents, or kung "old rich" yung family, sometimes the family espouses the "populist" attitude, wherein the family members are encouraged to be closer to other people and to help out when they can. But it's up to the kids... sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't.
Pag minsan, yung mga biglang yumaman, it goes to their head... they tend to look down on others... people who move to other communities, buy extravagant houses, etcetera... raise their children pampered and waited on hand and foot...
Pag minsan, hindi... I know one Master Chef who got rich off of his trade who contributed a church and a school to his old village (which he still goes home to from time to time.) And despite his success, he's managed to transfer his ethos of hard work and dedication to his son.
Besides... some "anak-yaman" people are also very down-to-earth. No insecurities, don't really care what people think. Lalabas din ng bahay na naka-tsinelas at mga lumang damit. They're self-confident, don't feel like they have anything to prove to anyone, and don't discriminate against people according to appearance. Sa breeding lang yun. Whatever values the parents choose to instill in their children, that's the values they have.
Yup.
One thing for everyone to reflect on. Who here has not looked down upon someone else, at one time or another?
Tinitignan ang mga mayaman as "sosy", "elitist", "walang kuwenta".
Ang trato sa mga public servants (from the traffic enforcers and clerks up to the desk job people) ay lahat "buwaya", "trapo", "salot".
Nakikisama nga kayo sa mga ka-class ninyo, whether it's upper middle class or lower-middle class... pero have you ever stopped and talked to a beggar on the street? Ilang beses akong nakarining dito at sa mga ibang boards "Puro tamad ang mga iyan!" "Walang kuwenta!"... without actually getting to know them? Alam ko guilty ako dito (I don't say they're tamad or anything, but I tend to dismiss them impatiently on the street)... but I have had occassion to sit down and chat with some kids on the street. It's enlightening.
Di lang naman sa Pinas... people are bigots everywhere. Ibang social class, ibang religion, ibang kulay... basta, kung iba yung tao, iba yung trato nila sa mga yun.
That's the way of the world... kung mas mababa ang social standing sa iyo... masama. Kung mas mataas... masama din!...
Baluktot lang ang Tagalog ko nung College, naramdaman ko rin ang diskriminasyon dito......and when people know what my family is and what they own, iba rin yung dating... (irritating... considering yung share ko ng family business is 1/100th or 1/1000th (can't remember)... I'm not anywhere close to rich!) which is why I prefer to keep low-profile, and not to put myself above others.
But I see a lot of others in my situation who don't... and it's sad really...
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
Alam mo Sir Jun pareho tayo ng dillema... Am not married yet but as an only child, I never really had the chance to enjoy sharing my lovelife to my mom. It was always a secret coz for her, there was never a time that a man was good enough for me. Not even now am in my thirties, she still hates the idea of me getting married and having a family. But when I see her very happy with my nephews and nieces, I always ask myself, "What about my happiness?" or "When will she be happy for me?"
It's difficult, I know but I pray hard that someday, she too can come to her senses and just let me be! Haaay..... Buhay nga naman!![]()
Ito lang po ang masasabi ko para sa ating lahat:
"Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan, ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan!"
In short, lets be humble and everything else will follow!![]()
meron diyan sa philippine chinese chamber of commerce na ranking official na akala mo sinong mabaiit pero di maayos ang buhay pata kapatid niloloko sa business deals madugas talaga mukhang pera....pakitang tao pwe!!!
:offtopic: I assumed that you are still staying with your parents or mom, I think it's time to move out so you can do the things that will make you happy...anyway, you said you are already in your 30's....you are of right age na you have the right to make your own decision, whether you mom agrees or not....
:btw:
and I thought your the only child? bakit meron kang nephews and nieces?
anyway, minsan yuin mga common tao rin naman feeling na inaapi sila eh ex pag meron altercation between private and public cars, lagi sinasabi mahirap lang sila kaya ganun, ganito etc...
IMO. nasa tao talaga ang pagiging matapobre. firstly ay breeding and then education/social knowledge at syempre kung likas na mabait talaga.
commonly yung "got rich" ang super matapobre. ito yung mga taong inggit na inggit sa yaman ng iba noong hindi pa sila mayaman. and then ng yumaman sila eh para bang gustong ipagsigawang "hoy mayaman ako ba!!"
haha, dami nila noh! ditto! nanay ko ganyan din, gusto pa siya pipili ng girlfriend ko. at asawa ko hahaha! allergic din sa bisaya, at kesyo dapat daw mapapangasawa ko e doctora/abogada at dapat e sosyal. kainis hehehe. dapat daw yung mapantayan ang familya nya. ay sus! ang aking ready na sagot ay "ma, yung pamilya nyo na mayaman e nung 1940s pa yun. matagal nang nabenta hacienda ng lola, at yung minana mong lupa e maliit na lang dahil naghirap kayo nung panahon ng hapon. ok." sabay takbo dahil alam ko na aawayin ako bwehehehehe!
never ako naguwi ng gf sa bahay. kaya hayun kinuha kong asawa e taga negros at teacher. pinakilala ko sa kanya, "ma, manugang mo. kakasal kami bukas sa juez." mother puts on plastic face "bakit ngayon mo lang pinakilala? sinecret mo pa e ang ganda naman nya." pero nung nakatalikod misis ko "san galing yan?!" bwehehehehe! ok naman na ngayon, tatlo na apo nya kaya enjoy na din sya.
ladyrider, magtanan ka na lang kasi!

Uy OT na ata ito but thanks for cheering me up! Alam mo ba dati naisip ko na yan! Pero ngayon, diba parang matanda na ako para dyan? (hehehehehe) Lahat nga ng kakilala namin eh pinaparinggan mom ko na, "Bakit ba gusto mong tumandang dalaga yang anak mo? Ayaw mo ba syang maging masaya?" Ayun para naman walang naririnig! Dedma pa rin! (hehehehe)
Pero sa totoo lang diba tayo rin naman ang masusunod. Not that we'd like to disobey our parents pero sino bang makikisama e diba tayo rin hindi naman sila?
