Social Climbers

[uls]

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 ...

social climbers are those who try to project an image that they're richer than they really are

si Gretchen, sila Pacquiao they're what's called noveau riche

wiki:

The term nouveau riche (French: “new rich” [nu.vo ʁiʃ]), describes rich people who acquired their wealth within their own generations; the equivalent English term is (the) new rich.[1] Sociologically, nouveau riche describes the man or woman who previously had belonged to a lower social class and economic stratum (rank) within that class; and that the new money — which constitutes his or her wealth — allowed upward social mobility and provided the means for conspicuous consumption, the buying of goods and services that signal membership in an upper class. As a pejorative term, nouveau riche effects distinctions of type, the given stratum within a social class; hence, among the rich people of a social class, nouveau riche describes the vulgarity and ostentation of the new-rich man and woman who lack the worldy experience and the system of values of Old Money, of inherited wealth, such as the patriciate and the gentry.

they have money na but they're, as decribed above, showy. they love attention -- characteristic of new rich

the old rich are the opposite of that. they avoid attracting attention

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.

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

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!

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.

Yan ang winner. Ultimo airport tags di tinatanggal.

Dapat tinabihan mo siya at nagtanong sa sales clerk, "You have seatcover for my SiR? Sabay tingin ka sa kanya: "Prestige yo."

i love making them look stupid, because for all they think they are worth. I just ignore them hahaha!

Ah... vactation pics. Sometimes it actually does make me feel bad to see people posting their Bora trips online... I haven't been back there since after our daughter was born. But we don't spend for big vacations. We don't get credit cards. Most of our excess money goes to construction. We may not be living the high life now, but we're thinking about what we're going to leave our kids. IMHO, more important than splurging on an island-hopping spree every six or seven months.

Airport tags... haha... guilty! When I was a kid, I would leave the tags on my backpacks after coming back from the airport. Not really to show off, though... but because I was too freaking lazy to take them off.

Super jologs siguro yung dating... Carrying a backpack with airport tags on the jeepney while making da sabit-sabit on Taft...

Working on it. Hard to find out who to talk to. I really DO want to get an Isuzu test vehicle... thinking a 4JA1T D-Max might be something nice to review. Tough, rugged, but with a relatively modern chassis. (Super OT).

Which is the proper way to build things. Tiyaga lang yan now and later on you reap the benefits and sometimes it does come sooner than you can expect it.

Puerto kami kahapon dude pare pards... Puerto Azul. :D

Yeah, just by seeing the crowds at Boracay over the summer, you can pretty much tell it's very, very accessible to almost everyone whether it be by bus or by air.

Sounds cool diba?

"Mag-Bora kami. Sama ka? May promo na two-way trip eh. Piso fare. Decide ka kagad, baka maubusan tayo ng seats."

And these are probably the same guys who'll later post, complaining about the poor service of the airline.
