WELCOME TO THE BLOG!

Hi there!

I'm Ariane—a Filipina, born and raised in the Philippines. In 2023, my husband and I took a leap of faith and moved to New Zealand. I left behind a career in chemical engineering and the structure of the life I knew to start fresh—no rigid plans, just a quiet sense of purpose and curiosity about what comes next.

No Rhyme, Just Reason, is a little corner of the internet where I share reflections, stories, and everyday moments that don’t always follow a script, but always have a reason. It is a space for slowing down, noticing the small things, and exploring life without needing it all to rhyme. You’ll find musings on routines, transitions, and the strange, wonderful journey of making sense of things as we go.

Whether you’re here for a thoughtful read, a fresh perspective, or just a pause in your day—thanks for stopping by. I hope something here resonates with you, and helps you feel a little more at home in your own story.
