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

**Chip** · March 2nd, 2007 01:01 PM

i agree with uls to a certain extent

marami din kasing dating old rich na feeling rich pa rin kahit hinde na hehe
kaya dati dba sa negros may saying "ang pera, pina-pala, pini-piko" but then may addendum na yan ngayon "pero ang utang, binu-bulldozer at bina-backhoe" hehe
at marami din tayong nakikitang mga new rich na low profile lang, na napakasimple lang.

so i guess when it comes down to it, it all depends on the person and how they were brought up.

re mayabang, e bahala sila sa buhay nila hehe may mga tao kasi na assertive lang and malakas ang dating kaya people take him for mayabang. at meron talagang mahangin at universally mayabang hehe

pa-sosi = social climber

Yes there are always exceptions. There are previously rich people who have squandered their wealth and they have nothing left except their surname.

They still go around projecting the image that they are still rich. Going as far as borrowing large amounts of money from people using their family history/surname as collateral.

Generalization lang ung nasabi ko.

There are ALWAYS exceptions.

There are outwardly loud pa-sosy people who have little or no net worth... and there are jologs-looking people who have millions in the bank.

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.

Si Pacquio falls under upper middle or new rich?

hehe

New rich yan.

Pero pag na-maintain nya at napalago nya ung wealth nya hanggang lumaki ung apo nya, by that time, di na natin masasabi new rich ung apo nya..

Yup tama ka.

Pasocy, social climber.

Mayabang, personality lang (pampatawa lang)

Socy, natural lang.

Usually ang maangas yung anak hindi yung tatay na kumayod napansin ko.

sosi - has ipod. privately listens to tunes while watching sunset atop private hillside/beachfront retreat.

pa-sosi - has ipod. goes to mall wearing the device like a dogtag.

mayabang - walang ipod. bumili ng ipod earphone look-alike. pinagmamalaki sa iba na maganda talaga ang tugtog pag ipod ang player at hindi mumurahing mp3 player lang.

well-managed new rich = old rich
mis-managed old rich = pa-sosi
mahangin pero wlang buga = mayabang
mahangin pero may ibubuga - mayabang pa rin hehe pero bilib tayo sa kanya

gretchen = MILF!

Kasi hard work builds character and makes one humble. E ung mga anak di nila pinagdaanan yung hirap, so meron mga mayabang. la kasi character building experience...
