Writing has been a part of my life ever since I was a child. Back then, I was only writing in my notebooks, empty bond papers, and at the back of my intermediate pad paper. Just any piece of paper to be exact, even on a yellow pad paper or a colored construction paper will do. I will surely write down my thoughts when I have something in mind. It has been my companion ever since because I am a certified introvert and I don't have many friends with whom to share my thoughts with. But now, I have discovered a lot of platforms to share my thoughts, and one of the best examples is here, the HIVE platform.

Hello there, I'm Ayane.

Oops, wait a minute.

Don't mistake me as a Chinese, Korean, or Japanese too, okay? Honestly, I am a Filipino. I don't know why I do look like other nationalities but I can certify to you that I'm surely a Filipino and even my parents are also one. This is just how I really look.

Almost everyone is mistaking me as one oftentimes, so I'll say it first right now. It's not that I'm offended when they are calling me like that. I'm even happy to know that I can be classified as another nationality. Well, that just simply means that we Asians are closer to each other.

Ever since I was a kid, I have been always asked if I am Chinese or just any other race that has fox-shaped eyes. There is even a time that I was mistaken as a Korean in a Korean Store here in our place nearby and every staff keeps talking to me in English because they thought that I can't speak the local language.

Then, my friends were just laughing at me on my back while I'm explaining that I'm not. What a true friend, right?

Other things about me.

I'm a daughter of a farmer and also a farmer myself. We crop rice, plant sugarcanes, vegetables, and fruit trees ever since we were kids. It is a life that my ancestors have let us inherit. The land that we are cultivating up until now came from my great grandparents and has been passed down through generations and for sure, my siblings and I will also pass it down to the next generation. It is a culture that is already engraved in our genes, blood, and flesh. It will just be loved but will never be erased.

This is our dalandan trees beside the sugarcanes.

Our mango trees.

This is our rice fields.

Just like everyone else here, I'm also a dreamer. Aside from the good life that I'm dreaming of for my family, I'm also dreaming to get back to my studies and hopefully enroll myself in college this next school year. Last week, I already passed the requirements needed to be enlisted to the qualified students that can take the entrance exam. I'm really praying to be one of them.

For almost two years, I'm a crypto-blogger. I think I'll write another blog about how's my crypto journey so far because I know that it would take a lot of time. First, I tried Uptrend but I find the earnings slow. Then, I shifted to PublishOx but I don't know much about crypto at that time, so I didn't continue. After that, I discovered read.cash and noise.cash, wherein I was honed to become a better writer. Those two platforms are great and there is no argument for that.

Why did I become a new-bee here?

Well, there's always room for improvement, discoveries, and new learnings, right? Then, I'm here for new experiences and adventures that I can get on this platform. Honestly, this platform is popular in read.cash and I know a lot of writers there who is also a writer here. I heard a lot of good things regarding this platform, so whybnot try it, right? I guess there is no harm in trying anyway unless it's a poison that you want to have taste of.

Okay, enough of that for kow, folks. I'm already taking a lot of your time. Thanks for reading and hoping to get friends with all of you here. 😘
