Big Words + Updates

I was watching a few vids from Jayden Animations abt her vid on Thesaurus.com and just had a weird recall back to high school...

Once upon a time in english class, one of my classmates used hifalutin (is that a word? I keep hearing it but i don't really believe it) word in an essay. Sure, Special Science Class whatever expectation but srsly, at age 14-15 she used worlds beyond the 7-letter limit. Add to that we're in the Philippines so English is kinda the second language (First there's your dialect, second there's english, that's al-jk. Actually its first your dialect, then 1.5 - tagalog, then second is english.) Lol. I'm just kidding. But in all seriousness, I was just baffled. Maybe because everytime I answer an essay I use everyday words to express what I mean as quick and straightforward as I can. I'm not really a fan of making "bulaklakin" or flowery filler text hence I tend to not use these sophisticated words into my paragraphs. Not that I don't have a good vocabulary, i believe I've raked enough english from cartoons, movies and books, but I guess I work better using conversational language than using technical blabbery. How I survived a technical and scientific course in college? IDK.

Anyway, I remember just going to mom and telling her that. I don't remember whatever happened coz all throughout that conversation, my mind was just:

"How did she do that? How did she learn those words? Are those even words? Was that english? I know she's talking in english but did she add a foreigh language in that essay? Did she use the Rosetta stone? Am I dumb?"

Haha. Anyway after that I guess I tried my best using those hifalutin (there it is. Again!) words and I still do in special occasions (aka thesis, reports, speeches, dex descriptions, fancy feeling deviantArt journals and instagram captions) but like I said. I still prefer talking to the regular and/or broken conversational english.

Just a short ramble and recall. Its raining outside coz a storm has entered PAR and thus I am but a humble burrito wrapped in my blanket whilst binge watching/listening to Jayden Animation while trying to hatch a good pokemon (perfect EV + wanted Nature + possibly shiny) or fish for a Razor Fang on my Ultra Moon despite being almost midnight. Not much on my fakemon stuff atm coz I'm doing a commission set + a long delayed layout for a friend. I could release the Route 1 page maybe before the month ends. Btw what do you guys think abt the way I  present the Bago Region? Its not an original thing. People on IG do it, Luis did it (so did meru i think?). I wanna know how you guys feel about it.
