Proper manners really go a long, long way eh and this applies to all socioeconomic classes... kahit sa panliligaw, that's one of the first things the parents will look at.
When we all get hooked up in the daily grind, some forget that the best person to be is one's self... No need to prove what you are not because people will respect you for who you are and what good you can do. The people I have high regard for in the workplace are not the high falluting wannabees or powerplayer look alikes, but people who've remained humble, try their best to help and to teach others what they know, and don't give a damn whether they're "in" or not... bisaya na kung bisaya manalita, 'wa sila paki.
Dapat Lowepro yung bag ha.... para sulit yung backache. :D
