4. The Social Climber

They bring DSLR camera but they don't own it, they just borrowed it from the 'Rich One' friend and shows the camera to the public like they own it. They hang the camera on their neck walking at the mall, put the camera on the table while eating at 'Jollibee' even though the camera bag is on their side. They also tag people on their photos.

There it is! Be a Social Climber! Be a Katkatera!

Ang Tunay na Sosyal at ang Pa-sosyal

Ang Tunay na Sosyal at ang Pa-sosyal

Ang tunay na sosyal ay hindi alam ang pamasahe sa jeep.
Ang pa-sosyal, alam ang pamasahe sa jeep, pero nagtatanong pa rin kung magkano dahil baka bumaba na ang pamasahe at baka pwede makatipid.

Ang tunay na sosyal, di na tinatanong kung magkano ang total ng bill sa restaurant after eating, bigay nalang deretso ng card or kaya cash na malaki.
Ang pa-sosyal, sinisigurong ibabalik ang sukli kahit piso nalang ito at pinapabalot pa ang mga tirang pagkain.

Ang tunay na sosyal ay hindi palaging naka tambay sa mall.
Ang pa-sosyal, kailangan tumambay sa mall... kasi walang aircon sa kanilang bahay.

Ang tunay na sosyal, original designer clothes ang mga sinusuot na damit.
Ang pa-sosyal, original designer clothes din ang damit, galing lang sa ukay-ukay.

Ang tunay na sosyal, maraming gadgets pero iniiwan lagi sa bahay.
Ang pa-sosyal, ginawang accessories ang mga gadgets na nabili sa second hand shops.

Ang tunay na sosyal, pag pumupunta ng bar, hindi nagtatagal sa iisang bar.
Ang pa-sosyal, sinasagad ang entrance fee at free drinks.

Ang tunay na sosyal, walang paki-alam sa ibang tao.
Ang pa-sosyal ay chismosa!

Ang tunay na sosyal di alam ang mga programa sa TV.
Ang pa-sosyal, updated sa mga showbiz happenings at telenobela shows.

Ang tunay na sosyal, pag may artista tumitingin lang at steady lang or tuloy lang sa ginagawa.
Ang pa-sosyal, di pwedeng wala silang picture together ni artista.

Ang tunay na sosyal, hindi nag-unlitxt at unlicall promo sa cellphone
Ang pa-sosyal, may listahan ng keywords and numbers to text para sa mga unli promos.


Ilan lang ito sa mga palatandaan ng isang katkatera/pa-sosyal. Pero mayroon din naman itong mga exceptions dahil, hindi naman lahat ng tinamaan sa mga nakalista ay pa-sosyal na agad. Ang mga nakalista lang ay ilan sa mga traits na nakikita sa isang pa-sosyal/katkatera!

Don't worry kung tinamaan ka, tinamaan din naman ako ng mga ito eh, dahil ako ay isang pa-sosyal!

Bato-bato sa langit ang tamaan ay siguradong mabubukulan, Peace!

What is a Social Climber?

What is a Social Climber?

By   8:45 PM   No comments:

According to Wikipedia:

A social climber is someone who seeks social prominence, for example by obsequious behavior. The term is sometimes used as synonymous with parvenu, one who has suddenly risen to a higher economic status but has not gained the social acceptance of others in that class. "Social climber" may be used as an insult, suggesting a poor work ethic or disloyalty to roots.

According to UrbanDictionary:

Similar to an "attention whore", but a social climber is anyone that becomes friends with someone else if they have something that they want, which we all know involves people. They become 'friends' with people who "know people". In turn, they become (or attempt to become) 'friends' with that first person's more "popular" friends, leaving the first person behind. Repeats this cycle to "get to the top", in their own mind, until they realize they are shallow and unable to like people for who they really are. Inevitably, they will be forced to "mature" beyond this. This usually pertains to girls more so than guys.

a person who tries to seek social acceptance either through: 

1.) the expense of someone else 

2.) the use of obsequious behavior 

3.) "forced" companionship

-------------------------------

For me, a social climber is somebody who wants to be accepted by the society no matter what his/her status in life. But he/she does things their way to be accepted.

But it is not always bad being a social climber... you can be a social climber without having an obsequious behavior or dumping friends for the price of having that social status. Just like me, I am a social climber but I don't have those characteristic defined above. I just don't know, people think I am classy and rich but the truth is I am not. Maybe I looked like one but I think it is because I am a social climber, and I dress up and act like any classy person in the society. (Root canal! LOL)

I eat at any fancy restaurant whenever I can afford it, or when someone invited me to have dinner with them. I've been invited in some social occasions, together with the high profile individuals in the society.

I am a Katkatera! I climb!
