Social Climbers

Meron din B V hehe.

Yung mga magagagandang lower class SCs, do they do that to attract rich men? Who are they trying to fool then? I'm sure these men know their background and are after them for their looks and not because they are "sosyal"

I say live and let live. So what if they want to aspire for something better. The more they uplift themselves the better. To each his own. We should avoid turning this forum into a place for 'class snobs' . The way i read their comments parang SC ka na if you dare use an iphone, speak english, use a dslr, drink coffee, drive an automatic, get better looking skin, go to certain places, have a dog, etc. Then people are made fun of for the meals they order, the public transport they ride, the kimd of prepaid phone plan they have , The diction they have, etc. Do you have to be a Zobel or a Sy before youre allowed to do these things? Sadly, some of the comments here are dripping with bigotry. Akala mo yung nagsasalita ay pharoah or sultan. Peace. My 2 cents.

But putting others beneath them is the heart and soul of this thread

On a serious note, glad to see someone who finds these comments over the top.

Wala naman talagang problema kung bumili sila nang gadgets na gusto nila pumunta sa lugar na gusto nila, etc but sana malaman nang iba na pede wag na nilang ipangalandakan kung ano meron/kaya para lang mapansin at wag nilang ipilit kumbaga ilugar nila nang tama sa tamang panahon tamang asal tamang lugar.

peace.

^That's how I feel too. Wala naman problema to buy nice things and to go to nice places. Ang nakakainis lang, people who do it on pretense.

...use a dslr, drink coffee....

no problem if one can really afford it

but if people go into debt to live a lifestyle that they can't really afford just to prove to other people that they're moving up in life.... then they're subject to social commentary

Ang problema eh, bumili nga ng gadgets pero wala naman makain. Prioritize needs before wants.

+1 and i think that's the thing that should be observed. PRIORITY....needs vs. wants....necessity vs. luxury

Meron akong nakasabay sa elev, matandang losyang kasama yung anak niyang babae na kala mo lalaki dahil sa balbas, paenglish english pa di naman matuloy, at janitor pa yung kinausap. "uhm where is the ano... The acute something" so sinagot siya, nagopen yung elev sa 2nd floor then ske asked 5 freaking times if the it waa the 3rd level already. Duh hinde ba obvious ang laki laki ng 2 sa harap nya. Then instead of pressing the close button she pressed the door hold button coz she couldnt find where the correct button was. Sobrang WTF hahaha hay nako feeling sosyal!

Image is everything nga. That's a sad reality especially for employees, there's such a thing as power dressing. Some people may argue that as long as you are a performer, the way you dress should not matter. That's true, but given everything equal, the employee that carries himself or herself better already has an advantage.

I remember being taught in etiquette class at school na when we start working we should invest in a good (expensive) pair of black shoes and leather bag. We were also taught to use a good pen at work, but that's too much I think.

^^ There is such thing as : "You need to dress the part".

In school, even without our professors compelling us to follow the dress code, we would rather fail in a bloody recitation with grace and style. This holds true in courts, lawyers would always look at how big the pearls the other female lawyers are wearing. Look at the female justices and the even Justice Secretary Delima, they got the biggest south sea pearls. There is a silent rule on this, wear 15 or over. It's about giving your dress and accessories the job to do the intimidation or say things that you won't be able to. If you have the finest things, then you will lord it over, if you control the arguments. That is what we call form and substance. The two should go together.

In my early years of practice, I bought the most expensive piña and it worked to my advantage. It concealed my inexperience.Now, I am a bit relaxed...it's giving the first impression. It's introducing yourself to the world of sharks. I believe this is true in any other employment environment. Well, young executives like Mark Zuckerberg might be an exception, also the late S. Jobs...

I always like using sonnet in signing legal documents and clients notice that. Once clients noticed it, you'll stop buying those, they buy it for you. Even my husband likes buying pens for me. I prefer blue.

hahaha! I always saw this in my feed, the J. Co thing. Why buy it when pila balde? It's not irreplaceable, not a meal.
