Mayabang ba talaga or nayayabangan ka lang? Sosi ba talaga or ganyan ang tingin mo sa kanya? It's all relative.

Best not to judge.

Makes it much simpler, less stressful and problem free.

Funny because I only experience that when I lived there. Here in the US people don't pull you down just because you have this or that. Or perhaps it hasn't gotten into my head yet kung meron man.

If it's none of your business, don't even bother.

in rich countries, no big deal kung meron ka new car and gadgets and stuff

everyone has 'em

anyone can afford 'em

(easy credit hehe)

but here, madami wala

so people tend to notice such things

poor country eh

so true...

sometimes you'll feel the guilt as you may be tagged for flaunting what you have...but one just deserves it anyway...hirap magbuhay mayaman sa isang lugar na merong di kumakain.

kaya it's understandable kung baket ganito ang society natin

many people havent yet even solved their daily food problem

tapos makikita nila meron mga tao na sobra sobra ang pera

hindi lang inggit ang mararamdaman ng mga tao...

resentment

malaking balakid talaga sa buhay ng tao ang inggit. ang problema kahit di ka nang-iingit meron pa rin naiinggit. mas lalo na pag mahilig mang inggit sigurado mas marami maiinggit. ang inggit nga naman.

back to topic, pagdating sa kapeng mamahalin, ayos lang kahit dun siya magtira as long as kaya bayaran. pa sosi or true sosi walang kaso dun....may kilala nga ako sabay sa lahat ng uso/bagay -as in laging una sa lahat ng bagay at di patatalo pero problemado siya kung saan kukuha ng pambayad sa credit card/s

but wala ako pakialam dun buhay niya yun.

still they have the right diba? buhay nila yun but since napag-uusapan lang rin..... i can say marami talagang pa sosi, true sosi at mayabang :aray:

My definition of "mayabang":

>>meron siren at strobe lights kahit hindi pulis/pulis na off-duty
>>malakas ang stereo kahit hindi naman bingi
>>naka top-down kahit mausok/traffic
>>naka windows down kahit mainit (sabay malakas na stereo)
>>naka-headlight kahit umaga pa/maliwanag pa

My definition of "pa-sosyal":

>>maraming abubot sa kotse na hindi naman kailangan (large wing, large rims, whatever)
>>maraming alam sa kotse pero pangit/marumi ang kotse
>>pumupunta sa Starbucks para maipagsabi ('tol, andito ako sa Starbucks...)
>>karaniwan "taglish" magsalita (di kaya straight English)

My definition of "sosyal":

>>mamahalin ang kotse pero merong driver
>>bumibili ng mamahaling kotse pero 'di alam kung bakit (maganda/matulin/maluwag)
>>pumupunta sa Starbucks para magkape
>>di kaya kumain sa Jolibee
>>straight English kung magsalita (di marunong mag-Tagalog)
>>mahilig sa mamahaling cellphone pero di alam ang features

amf.

in the US your neighbor could hardly notice that you have a fleet of expensive cars...maybe because they are just too busy making money...here in the Phil, we have lots of spare time. people easily get bored...what are they gonna do? at first observe lang yan...may nakikitang di maganda...may nakikitang maganda din...then they will coin opinions...one's success stories tend to creep into their bored minds...they have the tendency to compare their lives with the successful ones...they wanna be at the top, but they don't know how...or simply they find no opportunity...the only way up is by pulling you down.

dito po sa kuwait, maraming expat na mayabang at pa sosyal effect.
anlalakas ng loob umutang sa al-ghanim or sa mga car companies..
makikita mo cellphones nila latest model, tapos mga kotse nila brand new...
pag pay day, makikita mo sila laging me hawak na calculator

compute dito compute dun...

minsan naman mga kapwa pinoy, mahilig mang alipusta ng kapwa pinoy lalo na pag nasa mall ka.. kung nag wiwindow shopping ka ang sama ng tingin sa yo ng kapwa pinoy at pabulong bulong na "sus titingin tingin di naman bibili"... aba di mo maiwasan mag pasosi ngaun, lahat ng madampot mo bibilhin mo tsaka ka pupunta sa counter at babayaran mo sa harap nila ng cash at hindi credit card. sabay titigan mo diretso sa mukha ngaun, kita mo mismo sa itsura nila na pahiya sila..

pagdating naman sa mga restaurants, madami din pasosyal... ang gaganda ng bihis kuntodo naka coat and tie with matching hepatitis (alahas)... tapos maririnig mo kung oorder na sila " don't you have any promo today"

basta eto ang take sa mga pasosyal sa kuwait.. pag nagshopping sa malls at namili sa grocery stores at nagbayad ng credit card- pa sosi yun at pag nagbayad ng cash yun ang sosyal...

at kung kumain sa mga restaurants yung mga sosi magbayad man ng credit card ay nag iiwan ng tip pero yung pasosyal magbabayad ng credit card tapos alang tip sabay take away pa nila yung kapiranggot na tirang pagkain..

yun lang po...

never been to Kuwait Sir...di pala ako pwede dun. mahilig ako mag window shop...

[SIZE="4"]medyo OT na pero share ko lang din ang window shopping experience ko.[/SIZE]

i have this special fetish for stilletos...first year college sa 2nd course ko nun, may nakita ako na stilleto, sobrang gusto ko...mabigat sa bulsa kasi almost 2K...di rin ako nanghihingi sa magulang pag ganyan...promise ko sa sarili ko pag mag 50% off ito bilhin ko kaagad...every week binibisita ko siya...andun pa rin...di pa sale...halos naging ganun ang drama ko sa kanya for 3 years...graduating na ako, i needed a good strappy stilletos, binili ko siya---same price when i first saw it...
