What's the difference between sosi, pa sosi and mayabang?

[xer]

Nasa socio economic level yan.

There's old rich/super rich, new rich, upper middle class, lower middle class, not-so-poor poor, really-poor poor.

the old rich/super rich have been rich for a long time. 3 or 4 generations rich. mejo low profile mga old rich. Sosy is as normal as breathing. it's not even a conscious effort. In short, they dont even have to try. Ganyan na talaga sila e.

the new rich is flashier than the old rich. may konting conscious effort sosy nila. Pero may K.

the upper middle parang new rich. mejo blurry line dito coz on the outside, they look almost the same. Difference is in the financing of the image.

lower middle class and not-so-poor poor--- eto na--- dito madami pa-sosyal. they try to imitate the upper middle class or even the rich. Halatang halata trying hard sila. As in IN-UR-FACE sosy ako! hehehe



before anyone reacts violently, i want to state that everyone has the right to move up in life. Kanya kanyang paraan lang yan. Yun nga lang there are people who have a funny way of trying to move up.

I like this definition. (sana manalo tayo lotto para masubukan natin iyung sossy at pa sossy, huwag na iyung mayabang at mapapahamak tayo dun )

Pa-sosing chicks....

Kung manigarilyo, iya-angat ng konti ang ulo, sabay tulis ng nguso at buga ng usok, habang yung fingers niya, naka-tikwas pataas (resting on her left arm, on the waist) while holding her cigarrette, in between puffs.......

That's where I smoke. In Dela Rosa. So I guess I am one of those women who you'd judge as pasosyal. How do the sosyals smoke anyway?!? Kung hindi sa taas, saan nila dini direct yung smoke?

[afrasay]

sa baba...hehehehe.

[_Cathy_]

sa baba ng ano?

[ab_initio]

ala eh, binuhay para k deathlaance...

what had happened here? pagod na mata ko mag backread...

yan ang dugong tsikot, matulungin...deathlance, naway makakita ka ng babaeng swak sau na di naman maubos ang lapad mo.... or shall i say more lapad to squander in finding the right sosy girl....

[ab_initio]

kidding aside, basic is the social rule that we need to respect how one determines the course of his life...such that we are prevented from prying into the private life of another. how he squanders the money he has earned is beyond the probing senses of another...sosi or pa sosi man siya, and the same brings her to financial trouble, labas na tayo diyan...your only remedy is not to lend him money when he runs out of cash.

on the other and, there is this civil law provision that makes any one who lives an ostentatious lifestyle liable for damages, when the display of wealth is done at a time when an area is hardest hit by econ crisis...this serves to prevent the mayabang from rubbing salt onto one's gaping wound...

minsan, sosi, pasosi, and mayabang may not be looked with favor, pero andiyan sila e...sila ang dahilan ng thread na to...heheheh...let's be kind...we really don't have any idea of their struggles, just like anyone else they are also trying to survive or outlive the occasional harshness of this society, which is sometimes unkind. ayaw nilang maapakan... e, here comes the society that discriminates the poor, would one allow himself to masticate the bitter pill of discrimination? i believe not...

that's just the way it is...

di pa ba OT?

Random thoughts brought to me upon reading this thread:

_____________


To be proud of something, and to want to show the world; Is it supposed to be considered mayabang? Often times, I feel like I turn out mayabang, but really, I'm just happy with what I have acquired.
I get mayabang with people I'm comfortable being myself with. Maybe I am naturally just mayabang to have to curb myself and be humble when in the real world. Is that really wrong? My boyfriend has a lot more to show and he has this way of being proud without showing off. I don't know how he does that, but I intend to learn. Maybe I just have 'growing up' issues I have to deal with.

_____________

English: I grew up with it as my first language despite never stepping out of Philippine soil. I grew up having a hard time with my Filipino subjects. At the same time, I grew up insecure about using English. I was 'nayayabangan' with all the naturally English-speaking people who weren't family.
Until an Irishman became part of the family, living under one roof and all. Now, English is my natural language, but I still keep on 'not finding the words'. On the other hand, I still speak Filipino, but I also fumble. I'm lost!
Either way.. This crazy English-Filipino mix makes me sound 'coniotics'. The exact thing I thought was mayabang.

_____________

I don't go out often, but once a month I meet a random person I don't recognize on the road who starts smiling at me or something, saying they're family or friends of family. Is it mayabang to ignore them? I give a small smile when they 'seem' familiar, but it's just scary if I don't know them at all! We've had a fair share of the dugo-dugo gang stuff. Creepy! I'm not mayabang that way, am I?

_____________


I like going to Starbucks, CBTL, etc. I like eating cream cheese with caviar, blue cheese, etc. Pinaglihi ako sa lobsters. I won't go to the gym unless it's of Fitness First caliber or better, or it's in my home. I can't really afford all of these, but I splurge on them once in a while. I just think it's worth it. Is that mayabang too? Mind you, I don't mind eating kwek-kwek and fishball at the corner either.

I don't know how to drive. But I'm here at Tsikot.com. Am I social climbing, or something?

Just my thoughts. I'm a very confused person, but I'm trying to be a better one. Bear with me..
