Dapat pala benta ko na BMW ko kasi dami dyan sa daan naka-jeepney...

Dear Dr. Ing. Jorg Breuer, bawal na po BMW dito sa 'pinas. Umalis na kayo. Masama po perception sa inyo ng mga dyaskeng jeepney driver na yan. Baka po mag-welga pa sa showroom nyo ang PISTON at FEJODAP kasi ang pamasada nila ay hindi X5 complete with horses on the hood... Nah, I don't think so. :bwahaha:

Not an exact analogy. Pero siguro kung ma-angas kang mag-drive, tapos BMW pa dala mo. Malamang mahahalo pa yung issue na anak-mayaman ka kaya ka ma-angas mag-drive. I've heard that many times sa mga jeepnet driver. Kapag busina ng busina yung kotse, tapos nakita nila na Mercedes-Benz yung dala, sasabihin nung jeepney driver, "Porke mayaman, akala mo siya na may-ari ng kalsada!" So the lesson here is - you really have to be sensitive out there. Unless of course kung manhid ka talaga.

[oldblue]

ayan, panalo na si mang FXT sa 20+ pages na pusta nya


hirap pala mabuhay diyan sa pilipinas, pati damit ng employees mo mapupuna pala :evillaugh

masyado talaga mapuna ang mga pinoys dito sa'tin. you dont have to be
manghuhula to read what's on his/her mind, mata pa lang nagsasalita na.
and more often than not, the eyes convey something negative if not
unpleasant. usually envy ang pinakamadali basahin sa mata natin.


pinoys should learn to become more like Americans, poker-faced
hehehe. kahit na inggit na inggit or galit na galit ka na, dont let others
read you like a book. mas ok na level playing field yan bec. show-offs will
definitely have a hard time getting noticed/acknowledged.


try to download this audiobook from the net, "How to read a person like a
book". grabe I didn't know na andami ko kamalian sa mga gestures ko kaya
kung minsan palpak ako sa negotiations. even a simple leaning forward or leaning backward has meaning.

while I'm drinking pepsi and eating cheesecake here ayt now, lemme say something bout this from uls:

Im not a big believer in that New Age stuff... but i think one reason why the poor cant get out of their poverty is coz of their mentality. All the NEGATIVE ENERGY in their minds and communities wreck havoc on their physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

>>>yep. it all goes with the way how we think eh. it's like the more you think of something, the more it'll happen...kumbaga, power of mind. So, if you think that it's more proper for maids to wear uniform, so be it. I'd like to research on who was the first maid who wore a uniform..

umm, correction pls.... He may sound like bragging his automobile on that post but he's a nice person. Maangas mag-drive? nah, I don't think so. He was only saying his opinion. Mga dudes, kanya kanyang opinion lang to. Walang samaan ng loob.

This can be true of many jeepney drivers...

But this still does'nt mean that I should get rid of my BMW because the jeepney driver doesn't like the mayaman na ma-angas (angas nga ako mag-drive...). Neither, then, does it mean that I get rid of my maids' uniforms because somebody's sensitivities are offended. Of course, I'm taking this in the context of our freedom-loving Metro Manila society, and not all societies.

Now, if I were in Mecca, then I would not hesitate to grow a beard and moustache and veil all my maids. I do believe we have to be vigilant against prejudice by insisting on the right to be ourselves (while we can) and giving others that same right (of course within the bounds of law) to avoid becoming a similarly chauvinistic society.

Whew... haba!

Whoops mam margaux, gotta correct you there... bait me pero maangas nga me mag-drive. Oo nga no, brag ko my BMW, 16 yrs old naman sya... :bwahaha:

I was referring to a third person.

[margaux]

ok. sorry. my bad.

Wala namang nag-suggest dito sa thread na baguhin nila yung style nila. I think everyone is just airing what they have in their minds. If you are walking in the mall with a platoon of uniformed alalays, you probably won't hear anything from the people staring at you. They are just staring, but they have perceptions about you playing in their minds. This thread spilled out those perceptions.

So kung dedma ka sa mga perceptions, it means, yun nga - manhid.

[margaux]

kuya flagg, d halata eh..

Ahihi... manhid nga me.

Actually, sir slim, the perceptions you mentioned are of something considered discriminatory (maids in uniforms at the mall). Discriminatory = bad. And you know that many people want to change the "bad" to "good."

Just trying to enlighten those with the perceptions you mentioned. What they think is "bad" is not bad at all. Mas maganda kasi yung society na di-nanghuhusga.

[Flagg]

kuya flagg, d halata eh..

Ehehe, baka kasi matakot ka sa driving... safety first yung try ko pakita. Oops sori po mga mods, OT na kami.

[kimpOy]

OT
mas masahol yung napanood ko kagabi sa XXX Exposed sa channel 2
yung mga trabahador ni Congresswoman Daza (fourth district) Quezon City sa kanyang private stores, bodyguard sa house eh nasa payroll ng DPWH at MMDA, ghost employee ng gobyerno....aba aba aba pera ng bayan yun ah...

mahiya ka naman tongresswoman...

[espeago]

OT: Tonggresswoman we gave you an unprecedented mandate of trust..and this is what we got!!

SHUKNAYDUMO!

[GlennSter]

Hindi naman kasi yan ang topic, dude. The topic is about perceptions, hindi treatment.

i was answering margaux, not the topic.

on the other hand..maybe the topic is indirectly about treatments too.

OT hehehe diba ang jeep hari ng kalsada, baka inaagaw trono niya

[BoEinG_747]

may kilala ako not a close friend of mine.

Pinag uuniform nya maid nya pero nakatira sila sa hindi kagandahang lugar.

Yun mukhang foul na yun at hindi tama

parang hindi foul iyon ,
pero itong sinabi mo ang mukhang foul

[empy]

parang hindi foul iyon ,
pero itong sinabi mo ang mukhang foul

eto ang foul!

[boybi]

ok. ang gusto ninyo ay huwag mag uniform ang mga yaya in public para hindi masabihan na yaya sya. napapansin nyo ba na karamihan ng mga yaya e kayumangi or mas medyo maitim? kung ang mga amo nya ay mapuputi, hindi ba halata pa rin na sya ang yaya sa pamilya? especially na sya ang may hawak ng baby bag? so dapat ba kapag maghire ng yaya e pipiliin ang mas maputi? hindi ba babalik na naman tayo sa discrimination nito?
