He brags about some big accomplishment.
You think: "Mayabang!"
It could mean: He may just really like you. By boasting, he's actually trying to impress you by "proving" that he could be a provider.
He hates his job or his boss.
You think: "Kawawa naman..."
It could mean: He might be complacent. If he's miserable about the place he voluntarily goes to every day, he may be too chicken to make changes to improve that situation...and others, like a relationship in which he's unhappy.
He laughs about office high jinks.
You think: "Isip bata."
It could mean: Well, he could be, but it could also indicate that he possesses good social skills and can find the humor in situations.
He's work obsessed.
You think: "Masipag!"
It could mean: Relationships come second. Yapping nonstop about work says his identity is wrapped up in his career, not his emotional life.
