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

[wren]

sa tingin ko ito ang problema, pinoys just can't seem to mind their own business.

...or live and let live.

ok lang nag mag-pa sosi ka, wear branded clothing, drive a branded car and use the most expensive high-end gadget available, basta pag nagsalita ka na ... soft-spoken and humble.

ang classification mo: down to earth hehehe

I probably fall into that camp. So feel free to regard me as "mayabang". But I can't help it. My job requires me to be as detailed as possible. Ordinary people require I give them a detailed weather forecast. Aircraft and pilots I talk to on the VHF require I give them the most details in the shortest possible time. I live, think, and breathe details. It shows in my hobbies: scale modeling with super-detailing, photoetched metal parts down to seatbelt buckles, I know every major component of my pc by heart. It may be too much for some. But, it's not meant to offend anyone.

It's like integrity. My attention to detail is a lifestyle and I'm not about to change on account some may feel I give too much info.

ah! now that's exactly what i'm talking about!

if person A drives down the street revving his engine at everybody, or talking long and loudly about how rich he is to everyone within earshot at a party, then it's probably fair that you call him mayabang.

if person B is sitting in a corner doing schoolwork, not minding anybody but friends/studymates, and he happens to irritate you because he's wearing designer clothes, speaking English, with iBook, cellphone and PDA are all over the place, then maybe it's you who has the problem.

problem is, many people think both person A and person B are mayabang

For b: Where? Here? That's hard to believe. In the Philippines? Most likely.

Here, a guy revving his engine is almost always directed at the guy next to him. If he's feeling cocky and self-assured, he must have something to back it up. So it's up to you if you want to stoop to his level and take him on or ignore the guy and let it go. I'll admit, I've taken the former action just for kicks and got my b*tt handed back to me on a platter. But then I'm not the one who got pulled over by the Highway Patrol a short time later.

Of course, I live in a college town. So it's not unusual to see people with laptops or other gadgets. Better they surf and indulge with their gadgets rather than being out there doing drugs and being a nuisance. There's a lot worse things than people having gadgets. If other people have a problem with people having better stuff, they need to look at themselves first and ask themselves why they think that way. That's my take on it.

Add: If I felt envious about every other person who has better stuff than me, I would've been dead long ago. Maybe I'm a bit selfish for not caring how I compare to other people too much. Oh well.

ah!! that's it! Here in the Philippines, maraming insecure at inggitero. hehehe.

insecure: Yun nga, he announces to the whole world that he is this and that he owns this and that (whether true or not) without the audience even asking or not the topic of the discussion with the intent of making others feel small or insignificant.

inggitero: yung nagpapaapekto sa insecure then later on, insecure na rin sya. hehehe.

For me, they can all just drop dead. I'm too busy to waste my time on them. hehehe.

Parepareho lang yan because the "old rich" dont brag with what they have unless asked.
