No, I do(n't) use such big words. And some I learn from school, some from conversations, some from those that I pick on the floor. I mean, words that I accidentally hear/read/see from the big mouths and the great heads which makes me dumbfounded at times.
Coming from as all-girls exclusive school with a premier and high quality education, I am being "pressured" by my English professor to write on Inquirer's Young Blood Section [Actually all of us!]. [Wouldn't it be great to get a score of ONE on your 1st semester and be absent for the second semester if ever he becomes your professor during the 2nd sem because you're still getting a ONE?] He told me that his college students back in Miriam College were able to publish their essays on the said newspaper column. Whenever we have words that are high-falutin, I thinkhe expects me to have a vast arrayof vocabulary and I heard him say that to me when we had our prelims. =))
Nevertheless, I can be competent at times, but English I think, is my insecurity. It makes me feel awkward at times to converse in English when my Language/English teachers are around. [Now I start to wonder how I even survived the whole speech task, defense, oral presentations, written papers, projects written or said in English. =))] If you ask me of confidence, I would rate myself with a 5/10. The other 5 points are lost because I'm not so good with writing a cohesive essay. 5 points for being well, somehow, a "good and charismatic speaker" [Just like what my 4th year English teacher said. Haha] But when I start to be moved by the zestful thoughts in mind, I lose it. And at times, I cannot pick up with the fastness of the over-flowing thoughts.
Subsequently, I think I am able to find that motivation to write about my own views of being young on Young Blood. I have been having this dream ever since I had a neighbor who had her story publish on Junior Inquirer. When you get to read articles from Young Blood, it is just all about anything that is under the sun. May it be love, sorrow, happiness, or excitation. Anything, just anything! Some write about love, some about leaving, some about her damn good ex boyfriend and how they are now, some about getting married and on cheating, and some just plain anything.
At the end of the day, I aim to have my article also published. An article/essay that amuses the mind and delights the heart of the young generation and of those who are young-at-heart too! I already have someone in mind. Or something in mind but I'll keep it to myself until I am able to post it on my blogspot and have a hard copy published posted on Inquirer. =)
PS.
Too.

Young Blood! You know, this is my dream, too. As in I'm so yabang pa about this sometimes. WHen I read a YB article, sometimes, I go, "Oh, I can write something better than this." Haha.
Godspeed in being published! Tell me, ha, so I can buy PDI on that day, or check it out on their website. :D
I bet mas mauuna ka sa akin na makapag-publish ng work mo, definitely. =)
I agree with you 'cause when you read the articles, it's just anything under the sun and is simple but really catchy for the young generation.
I sure will, and tell me too when you get your work/s published on Young Blood. =) GOodluck Ramona!
