It's vacation time already. We're supposed to be relaxing because all our projects are done, the tests are over and we don't have to wake up at 4 something and sleep at 2 something every miserable day.

So why am I still stressed out?

First, my brother kicked my right foot a while ago. That's where my sprain is. It still hurts.

Second, I'm still finishing the first draft for English. Why? Let's not talk about that.

Third, I'm still tired from the whole year of hard labor studying. I had a pain in the neck last night that seemed like when you get high blood pressure. I'm scared.

Maybe I've lost all my optimism (whatever was left of it) during the past 7 months. *head meets keyboard in accelerated downward movement of the former* Whatever.

Blog Name Change?

Disclaimer: This post isn't meant to offend anyone else whose blog/site is titled Perfect Imperfection or any other site title in this post.

I've been thinking about changing the name of this blog for a while. Perfect Imperfection doesn't really suit my outlook in life anymore. I think I wasn't thinking right when I created this blog.

Though I still think philosophically, I'm not too vocal about my deeper thoughts. I'm still introverted like before, but I've become more spontaneous. I may not be the one who admires all the beauty in the world, but I don't abhor anything. Perfect Imperfection sounds like a title of a poet's blog and I'm no poet at all.

What does it leave me with?

• Gray's Place in the Internet- Can you get more unoriginal?
• Gray's Blog- I swear I'll kill...
• The Life and Times of a Person Called Gray - Get me my great-great-great-grandfather's bolo.

I want something clever, never thought of before and not currently being used as a blog title. Nothing that sounds so much like a fan shrine title, either. Suppose I combine words that I like.

• Turbulent Majesty- Fan shrine. End of story.
  
• Enigma- Fan shrine, band name, overused blog title
• Wild Tempest- I googled it up and found someone using this as a username. Oh, well.
  

I know. I'll name it after a song that I like. *looks at playlist*

• Fate Breaker (Wild Arms 3 dungeon theme)- The song sounds idealistic and searching, I like it. But the title is a little poetic.
• Sheep will Sleep (Guilty Gear Isuka, Sol/Ky/I-no theme)- Makes the blog sound sleepy...
• Psycho Killer (Talking Heads)- Run, run, run, run, run from the psycho killer's blog.
• Waltz (Honey and Clover)- Romantic-sounding title
• 100% Pure (Tantei Gakuen Q)- Sounds like a personal title, but I suspect someone uses this as a title. And my character isn't pure -_-.

While looking through the playlist I ran into a track called "Drunkard Makes Wise Remarks" from GG Isuka. It is a potential name for a "wise guy's" blog. Just remove the "drunkard" part because it doesn't apply.

• Calesa Hijacker Makes Wise Remarks- "Calesa Hijacker" is a random title I gave myself. There's a story behind it.
• Wise Guy Makes Wise Remarks- Sounds funny and redundant

Here I end listing down blog titles I've thought of. I might go with the "Makes Wise Remarks" thing. Either that or I'll think of another possible blog title.

I will change my blog title. The title "Perfect Imperfection" drives me mad.

Demand List

Here is an example of an arrangement of items that you remember to write during the Yuletide season (if you actually notice it) but because of it being posted on such short notice, money shortages, the impracticability or just the downright impossibility of the items recorded, all the items don't usually get checked off. For short, this is my Christmas wishlist.

• scanner (For drawing that I might want to CG; kind of impractical since I could use the digicam instead.)
  
• for my camera to be fixed
  
• no homework and projects for the rest of the school year (What? It's a wishlist XD)
  
• sanity (which was taken away by school)
  
• sleep (which was also taken away by school)
  
• some role playing video games that I missed to get after their release dates because of school and I want to play (or time to finish the games I already have)
  
• maintain good academic status and probably become a DL again (I'm scared...)
  
• a better organization system for my things (someone help me with this.)
  
• web hosting for a personal site/blog
  
• to feel better about things
  

I just posted this for fun, actually. I don't expect all the items to be checked but it would be nice if some were granted (especially the 3rd one :P). The list might be revised.

Twisted Fate

Hiatus is finally lifted.

Happy Bonifacio Day. Alas, we have this holiday off. Now, we await the storm.

I'm not supposed to be at the computer right now. My parents threatened commanded me to rest my sprained ankle, but I still have lots to do for school.

Wait, what sprained ankle? I'll talk about that, then.

This is the second time I sprained an ankle. It was during a basketball game in PE. The other team was trying to shoot the ball. I don't remember how it really happened, but I recall being pushed and my right leg bending sideways. Everyone was running to the other basket when I stood up and realized I twisted my ankle. I guess no one else besides the teacher and his next class noticed I had a sprain. Some of them even helped me down the stairs of the gym. But the clinic was across the oval, being frustratingly far for someone who has a hard time walking. After limping through the field and 15 minutes of cold compress at the clinic, I remembered that I had to go to the 4th floor of the building for a long test. Then I limped again downstairs to the ground floor, to the cafeteria for a while, then to the service bus which was across the oval. It was nightmarish.

My folks at home got surprised about my ankle. For the first time in a while, I had the right to treat my younger siblings as slaves >:D (They were willing to...). It was just hard to get around the house to study for the next day, finish our report, to eat at the table and to go to the bathroom. My ankle swelled up a lot that night.

The next day, I planned to go to school using the service bus >_<, attend the first two subjects where in the second one we had a long test (I didn't want to take a post quarter test this quarter.) and go homeafter that. I didn't get to talk about the plan for the project we were going to cram do for tomorrow, and didn't hear of anything from my groupmates besides the time they called to get my locker code. Our materials for the project were there. I slept the whole day. The sprain started getting bruises. Now I'm too squemish to even look at it.

In the afternoon, I heard that classes the next day were suspended. To think I still had too much to do, I left books at the locker I needed to review, and lots of important stuff.

Now I'm here typing this post. I still can't walk, and I had a hard time going upsatirs to the room. The sprain looks worse, more swollen and bruised, but I'm not worried about that right now. I'm more worried about the requirements for next week and the periodical tests.

Of all times to get a sprained ankle.

Hiatus on Hell Week

This is the first time I've put this blog on hiatus. That's because I didn't really need to because my schedule still allowed time for updates. Now, well, my sked is maddening. There's too much work so I couldn't come up with things to post besides complaining about piled-up school work.

I'll be back on December 1 or 2 to update, when I don't have much to do except study for the periodical tests.

Wait for me until then.

I should have put up this kind of announcement a week ago.
