Re-introducing Ladyluck Gazette

If this blog had real life, it would have been in state of coma for the many months I've missed writing. It may not seem to be alive but it is well taken care of. It is resurrected from time to time though. I visit this almost daily, along side with all the projects I do. I always want to write but I ended up doing nada.

How do I get my writing mojo back? That was my questions for the many days I've been wanting to return to blogging and the many attempts to re-launch this blog but there were only ideas, ideas I can't seem to put into a written product. How do I get my writing mojo back, really? I have no answer yet. This is just another trial to write. I guess when you are working as a writer, writing for leisure seems difficult because you've been trained to write formally. Or was it just me? I don't know. 

Just recently, I talked to a friend who's also working as a writer. I told her what I've been up to and how I've been meaning to revamp this blog. She said that this is a good idea. I agreed and encouraged her in return. However, she told me that it doesn't work for her since she was already busy chasing deadlines, she tend to neglect writing for leisure. No time, and for her it is a different thing. I know it may sound ironic that we are writers yet we can't write but it is the way it is. Sometimes it's not just writer's block. Sometimes it is also the lack of practice. 

In my case, it is the lack of practice and time. It is hard to juggle work and leisure writing but whenever there's time I ended up staring at the blank draft post. There were too many ideas, determination and will but there's no action. So today, even if I know that this is not good of a post. I still tried. I am taking this as another jump-start. There will be many throwbacks so I could share the last two to three years I wasn't able to write.

Now while we're at it, let me re-introduce my lifestyle blog. Welcome to LadyluckGazette!

Many people who've been here asks why I named my blog ladyluckgazette. Before, it was named rrrkhryzette. That was my stickycap-Friendster days. I matured years later and renamed this as ladyluckgazette. Why? Just like in class there is an etymology. Ladyluck and gazette. Again ladies and gents, my name is Rosette so I have to choose a name that would somehow relate to mine. I thought something rhyming would do and it did. I chose the word gazette because not only does it rhyme, it also correlates to blogging. Gazette is a noun also considered to be a newspaper or a daily. I thought that was very fitting for this blog serves the same purpose to deliver news about my life and adventures. Now for ladyluck, I chose it because I consider myself lucky. When I combined both words, it sounded good to me so I've decided this would be my permanent blog url's name.

Meanwhile, I tagged my blog 'Euphoric Thoughts Ensemble' because I wish to write happy things thus, euphoria and ensemble. Together, I found them beautiful of a phrase so from then I have been using it.

There's nothing deep to the origin of this blog. I just don't want it to be common sounding and I wanted it to fit to my personality as this is my online world. Enjoy reading, you.

Catching-up blog post

Yay, finally a blogpost after some time!

In case you are wondering why I haven't been posting lately, here's the deal...

Senior year has been a tough one, busy schedules, lots of meetings and beating the deadlines plus savoring the last moments as a student so for a while, I placed all my time at school. Then come the sembreak and holidays, I've been busy with thesis and some gatherings so you pretty much get to picture how busy I am now, do you?

2011 was indeed busy, but 2012 won't let 2011 win just like that, earlier this year was all about cramming final requirements for (drumroll please?) the much-awaited graduation. Yes, Ma'am and Sir, I graduated last March. Part of the reason why I had to take a leave on leisure-writing.

But here's a secret, I drafted a lot of posts for 2011 and all the whiles I was M.I.A., because I believe being busy means having an eventful life and having an eventful life means having several photos, moments, insights and stories to share. I would love to blog about those. I haven't finished everything since I have to delete those drafts, but I am working on it now. I even planned to have a 366 project but I failed to, so I ended up just drafting posts whenever I can. I know I owe you several posts from summer 2011 to June 2012, but it doesn't matter for I am back.

Supposedly, I am about to launch my return last April but Blogger won't allow me, I got an e-mail saying my blog would be terminated and or deleted if I don't migrate my account to Google. It was truly frustrating because I tried my might to migrate my account but it won't just let me. However, I knew I already migrated years ago so I was wondering why I still received that e-mail. For a while, I mulled about it over Twitter because I thought that it will be the end of this blog and that's one thing that's really hard to accept. I even migrated my posts on Tumblr because there was already a deadline, May 29. I gave up trying to migrate and just accepted that I will mourn by the end of May because my 7-year-old blog will die and I can't do anything about it.

Although I was upset for a while, I'm glad that my fear didn't happen. I can now re-write those drafts I deleted and fill you in with some stories from 2011 to the present (may not be chronological anymore but I will try).

From time-to-time, expect some changes, because this blog may turn into a food blog, travel blog, fashion blog and etc with book reviews, film reviews, musical and literary posts in short a LIFESTYLE BLOG. I'd like this to be versatile this time, containing all my interests, adventures and misadventures.

Prepare to be flooded  with my posts for I have a lot of catching up to do. Remember, you were warned.

Thank you for reading!

Back to my old place

While almost every blogger I know are making a comeback in blog-o-sphere and creating their new accounts, I, remains to stay here. In my old place. My first ever blog site.

Yes, I've had a long break when I used Tumblr, May, 2009 but I never meant to abandon this blog. I even intend to post the blog-worthy posts I blogged there to here so I can make up for the time I did not blog. As I have stressed before, I am not a regular blogger, I post blogs for at least once a year. As a matter of fact, my last post here was about a week and a year ago. I just can't commit to updating all my accounts as they are growing in numbers as years passed. And I am very certain that when school starts I will not have time to write. There had been a pattern already, I only get to post something during summer, sembreaks, and Christmas vacation. Doesn't mean I'm lazy, I take it back, sometimes I am, but really I just have a lot of accounts to juggle, and see, I'm not much of a good writer. I just hope I am, but I am not. I knew I can improve though. As of now, I only write what I think which may appear non-sense to you. Eating your time for unreasonable reasons, so sorry for that. Maybe that's why I post a lot on Tumblr and Twitter, since it does not require long posts and no one cares if what you're saying has sense or none. So yeah, what else? This blog has been alive for almost 5 years now. Cheers to that!
