Social Climbers

[jdee12]

How to deal with them?
Medyo nababadtrip ako sa payabangan nila ng mga ipad nila, mga gadgets nila. Feeling nila lagi sila nkakataas. Hahaha.


Tsaka konting kibot post sa fb, kulang na lang pati pag jebs nila post na rin nila.

[erj22]

just ignore them.

True, kapag wala ng napansin sakanila for sure titigilan na nila pagmamayabang ng mga gadgets, etc. Basically malalaman naman ng tao na mayaman ka the way you look eh. No need to show off. Ang totoong mayaman, matipid! Hahahaha! .

First off, how do we define a social climber?

Ano ba ang mga katangian/ginagawa na mapapansin mo sa kanila para masabing ganun nga sila?

And how do we know if they're just "social climbing" o sadyang ma-pera/sosyal talaga sila?

For one, perhaps if someone is living beyond his/her means ...

You need to ask yourself why you are affected.

My colleagues get the latest stuff a lot of times but it has no effect on me.

Hehe... It's insecure to care what other people think of your financial status. It's even more insecure to actually care about their financial status, too.

You mow a person isn't insecure about their financial status when they don't post what they're eating or buying on FB.

Me? I'm obviously only insecure about my car journo status.... Which is why I only post test drives.

Huwag mo na lang pansinin... Maaapektuhan ka pa...

It's a phase many go through in social networking... me included. "A lot of people are doing it so it's probably politically correct." But as you mature, you find less need to broadcast anything about your life and you realize how annoying it has become.

But that's on FB and Twitter. What do you guys think of forum threads like "What's your latest gadget?" or "What's the last thing you bought?", wherein you're actually encouraged to show off your crap?

I don't get affected and in fact, they never fail to make me smile a silly grin and be thankful for being happy about who i am with no qualms if the people next to me have better stuff then i do, or at least pretend that they do so (there will always be bigger fish in the pond). My wife and i even follow and banter each other about the FB posts of one of her schoolmates (who's now in politics) since her endless posting of "pa-sosyal" stuff is really crazy.

I saw this on FB some time ago:

Why not take up cudgels for a certain brand with "legendary diesel engines"? :D

[Stoner]

FB social climbers --> unsubscribe.

RL social climbers --> normally you just ignore. But if they pull off crap that gives you grief, then it's extremely annoying.

Depends on how you got your riches... kung singer, actor or athlete... they're more likely to be conspicuous consumers who waste away their fortunes. But if they're entrepreneurs, they have the same mindset... spend only on the business, not on yourself. Not until you've got other suckers investing in your business so you can pay yourself bonuses from their money.

Hey... S&R has really good pizza, only 99 bucks for a slice of pizza bigger than a "family sized" Greenwich Pizza. Tastes ten times better, too. ...also, soft drinks are 1.25 cheaper at S&R. ... but when they ran out of the Lifetime tables we buy for our canteen and dorm, we went to Puregold down the street to see if they still had stock. Same-same lang naman young company... mas sosy lang dating and "S&R" na pangalan.

Legendary diesel engines? Like the one in my Isuzu Crosswind that's nearly 250,000 kilometers old and still runs perfectly well despite being beaten half-to-death and driven through two typhoon floods? You can inquire about a brand new Crosswind XUVi with amazing turbo power at your nearest Isuzu dealer, today! Like my status on Facebook!

pag ang jologs nanalo ng lotto di mawawala ang pagiging jologs nila

Naalala ko yung kwento ni Shadow dun sa nakita niya sa True Value dati. Binebenta na kaya nila yung LC200 at BMW nila?

Yeah, and at P 500+ for a box, not bad. I also pass by the tire section to get high on the smell of fresh tires before heading out. :D

You should have a weekly column where you can devote one paragraph to Isuzu on a regular basis. ;)


BTW, if you wanna be pa-sosy don't forget to pose your yearly "Bora" sojourn on FB.

Tsaka konting kibot post sa fb, kulang na lang pati pag jebs nila post na rin nila.

Hahaha madami akong kilalang ganito.

Pero hindi naman siguro considered na social climber agad pag post ng post ng bawat galaw. Depende din siguro sa post nila kung may substance or sense.

Non-sense pero hindi pa-sosyal:
" ... just got home. had a tiresome day."

Non-sense pero pa-sosyal:
" ... just got home from Starbucks. Love the frap yumyum."

or

" ... chill here at Starbucks." (posted 1 minute ago at Starbucks Tagaytay wi-fi)

Kung gusto Nya ng pasimpleng yabang sa starbucks I-check in n LNG Nya. ang pinaka-ok eh I check-in mo sarili mo sa Edsa while driving, yun sigurado di ka SC nakikigamit LNG ng free wifi, kase may 3G ka always on, tapos may capture ng A-GPS ang actual location mo

Pag mga ganyan na pa-sosyal niyayaya ko sa mga mamahalin na lugar like mga resto o bar para magkaalaman talaga. Hehe.

Pero di ako mayaman ha...

[pop3corn]

btw, yun timeline ngaun compiles all your check ins, eh ako since
Late 2010, may check-in ako sa DC, sa McDo Times Square, sa Florence cathdedral, Sa Piazza San Marco Venice, sa Louvre, sa Zurich etc etc, I checked in using my Prev Ipad1, ipad2, ip4. nasa records sa FB yun sa timeline wall ko

kaya social climber or not, mas nagamit ko ng husto gadgets ko, may history imprint pa

----
way back early 2011, nag-shout ako "sipping 'French' coffee" at Starbucks, Galeries Lafayette, Paris.

using Iphone. pa noon ang FB, ngaun kasi using mobile eh.

sabi ko sa inyo, umabot ako halos ng 100 likes noon. that's Social Climber's dream to the max


dapat kasi pag shout out ka, indirect pero may yabang at may humor. natawa kasi sila tinawag kung French coffee ang starbucks lol

and also check-in with pictures, para talaga kapani-paniwala. but do take note na pag-travel, always wear your best clothes and be your best fit body.

yun Starbucks coffee na chi-nekin ko dyan Paris, sa kebigan ko kaya yun. I don't drink fattening coffee or eat unhealthy food while on travel eh, kasi kelangan lagi fit ako sa pictures. once in a lifetime lang yun mga yun

imagine mo yun almost a 100 likes, pero hindi naman ako bumili ng coffee. ang mahal kaya sa France noh, halos doble dito. ni wala nga ako nabili dyan sa Galeries Lafayette eh, kasi grabeng mahal dyan. ang alam ko namili kami ng Longchamp ng Mrs ko dyan sa Paris mall na yan, tipong 10 bags per passport limit na tig 3K each tapos binenta namin dito ng 7k+ each.

I have to agree w/ hein. Why are you affected? Re: social media, I'm ok w/ "non-sense" posts since these platforms were created specifically for this purpose. Do you think Twitter, FB, Google+, etc. will thrive if people only post milestone events?

Kaya Wala Ako FB account eh...
