Nice to Meet You!
Hello there! I’m Ariane, from the Philippines and currently residing here. As I step into my thirties, I’m still figuring out this thing called life. I use writing to express my thoughts and experiences, whether they’re deep or delightfully quirky. I’m a creator, crafting everything from significant to whimsical content. I am unpredictable and eccentric by nature. I juggle a day job in the office with nighttime crochet sessions and weekends dedicated to being a loving fur baby mom.
Blogging Journey
I began sharing my random thoughts and musings during my third year of high school. My first platform was Tumblr, where I blogged under the name “Feeling in Chic” and mostly just reblogged posts. The name was a nod to my “intsik” or chinita eyes, reflecting my quiet, shy nature and preference for staying behind the screen.
I’ve been a dedicated follower of blogging trends since then, from early blogs and Lookbook to the rise of Instagram. I'm a big fan of Tricia Gosingtian, which inspired me to start blogging myself—though I focused less on travel and elegance due to my limited budget. I connect with her thoughts and her way of expressing herself, and being a fellow Sagittarius makes it even more relatable.
While I’m not fond of being in the public eye and get nervous speaking in front of others, blogging offers me a way to express myself freely through writing, without stressing too much about grammar. I know I’m not someone who stands out in a crowd or blends into the background, but rather someone who prefers to stay in the middle and be comfortably average—just the way I like it.
Loving being an ordinary... doing extraordinary.
I love working behind the scenes and find great satisfaction in creating content online, where I can immerse myself in my own world. I’m at my happiest when I can pursue what I want without seeking anyone's approval.
Blogging is my sanctuary.
This led me to start a new chapter with Helloayahn on Blogspot. Here, I focus on sharing raw and unfiltered content to avoid content fatigue. I put my heart into this space, offering a true reflection of myself. You’ll get to know me better here, with no expectations—just my personal stories, complete with imperfect grammar.
Through this blog, I hope to show my readers (if there are any) that even as an ordinary introvert, a wandering thirty-something, and a bit of an oddball, I can still connect with others. While our experiences are universal, each of our stories is unique. Perhaps, in one of my stories, you might find something you can relate to.
Where am I going?
I’m not entirely sure where I’m headed at the moment. The truth for the owner of this blog is that she’s uncertain about her future. She often convinces herself that as long as she’s making it through each day, that’s enough. Honestly, she feels like she’s drifting aimlessly, like a sailor without a map in a vast ocean. It’s both exhausting and oddly beautiful to be so lost.
Her approach to life involves trying new things, taking risks, challenging herself, staying curious, and gaining experiences.
She’s usually worn out from the relentless pursuit of what’s next—something that consumed her twenties. So now, she’s learning to savor what life offers her in the moment.
Life is short, Living in the present is already too much for her, why think about the future? she doesn’t want to waste all her energy worrying about what's ahead. Instead, she finds joy in the present, appreciating small but certain happiness.
No more "palli palli" pace—it's time to focus on "sohwakhaeng" days.
Palli- Palli: Korean word means hurry
Sohwakhaeng: Korean term that translates to "small but certain happiness." It refers to finding joy and satisfaction in the simple, everyday pleasures of life rather than chasing grand or fleeting achievements
