Feeling Rich, Looking Rich And Claiming To Be Rich

[DeV@nte]

my parents are what you would call "affluent" - ako naman mas mahirap pa sa daga and I don't give a s@%t!

iba iba rin kasi ang iniisip ng tao at mga priorities iba iba din ..baka si gokong ang iniisip niya ay yung mga multi million deals kaya yung oras ang importante sa kanya di ang orasan... mas matindi si henry sy sa akin pa nagtanong ng oras ?

Nothing wrong in trying to play someone's game ..... as long as one has the means, tools and the passion of winning it ..... meaning if we want to play then let's play it right ....

 

Just a thought

 

If I want to be rich, feel rich or look rich .... i will ensure that I am on the path towards getting rich ... work hard, save money, invest/spend well

 

Kung puro feeling and looking lang ..... it will bring me nowhere but back

 

Oh but the hongkonese and the koreans try to look like the japs as well...

 

In fact I have complimented a good number of ladies in HKG about looking

japanese and it had been a thrill for many of them.

Maybe some jobs or professions require that you look rich. They say, "You fake it until you make it." As far as I am concern, just don't hurt anyone through deceits and lies.

As for me, how I look is not important, but more so, who I am inside. In the very end, the truth will always prevail.

I guess people do it to deal with their personal issues or something..

[jetlag143]

it is because of our culture wherein we tend to look at the status of a person's life

ang totoong mayam ay wala nang pakialam kung anu man ang iisipin ng iba...ang mga nagkukunwaring mayaman ay yun ang mga taong nagsashopping pa sa taingge at bumibili ng fakes. ang totong mayamn orig lahat ang suot kasi money is no object to them...

[ladyboy]

magpakatotoo tyo pag wala wala pag meron meron wag mag pretend kanya kanyang trip lng yan walang pakialamanan

[Chiq]

Maybe because others equate money with power.

 

They want to look/appear affluent so people can perceive them as powerful.. so they can have the upperhand on just about anything and everything..

 

Basta ako pag walang pera, charms nalang ang pinapagana

[totoytorero]

Walang problema sa magyabang basta totoo at may pinag yayabang..

 

nakakabuysit ang mga wala na ngang makain, pag nagyabang parang napakayaman.

I think this type of behavior has more to do with one's humility rather than one's perception of their wealth. I often see poor people flaunt their brand new cell phones. I also know many wealthy Filipinos who don't even say a word that they've bought something noteworthy or accomplished something great. I'm a firm believer in acting your wage and living within our means. I don't think it's particularly mayabang if I happen to see a celebrity drive by in their top of the line BMW. On the other hand, I'm dumbfounded and almost offended when I see people buy a brand new iPhone when just a week ago, they were begging me for money to buy food for their family. That I think is mayabang.

this is because being mayabang and not accepting what they only have.
