Just another random archive of an ordinary life. Me, these little creatures I swear I gave birth to 😌, and all the beautiful nonsense in between.

I don’t even know if I’ll remember the year I was born, but my mum says it was a Friday morning. She was feeling sick that day, yet somehow grateful that I came into this world as a human being. Little did she know, people would eventually start calling me a bule 🫠

Leaving little traces here, because time has its own way of deciding what stays and what disappears. 🖤 by @bynamira_

Another unforgettable evening, another beautiful reminder of how meaningful it is to be part of extraordinary moments.

It was truly an honour to be invited to experience such a spectacular Red Carpet evening at #BaliMeetGala2026. Grateful for the invitation, the warm hospitality, and the opportunity to be part of an evening filled with remarkable people, inspiring connections, and wonderful experiences.

My heartfelt thanks to @balimeetnight and @balidaylight @log_odah @aleeabucin for making this occasion so special. Some invitations are more than just an opportunity to attend, they are moments to appreciate, connections to cherish, and memories to carry with us. 🫶🏻 by @bynamira_

KILLERS. THIEVES. TRAITORS. A GOVERNMENT THAT BLEEDS ITS OWN PEOPLE DRY AND DESTROYS THE NATION IT SWORE TO PROTECT.

“Fighting ignorance is exhausting. But allowing ignorance to rule is a slow death.”

What is the meaning of independence if the people are still struggling to survive while those in power thrive?

We were promised freedom. But freedom for whom?

A nation cannot call itself independent if its people are left impoverished, its natural resources are exploited, its forests are destroyed, and its citizens are forced to pay the price for the failures of those governing them.

WE ARE BEING KILLED TWICE: ONCE BY POVERTY, AND ONCE BY A SYSTEM THAT FAILS TO PROTECT US.

The people work. The people pay taxes. The people keep this country running.

Yet, when our land burns, our air becomes toxic, and our basic needs are threatened, where is the protection we deserve?

Are we citizens of an independent nation, or merely the workforce keeping a system of power alive?

A country should exist for its people, not its people exist to feed the greed of those in power.

To the President and everyone in this administration: OUR RESOURCES ARE NOT YOUR PERSONAL WEALTH. OUR LIVES ARE NOT YOUR POLITICAL CURRENCY. AND OUR SILENCE IS NOT YOUR PERMISSION. @prabowo @gibran_rakabuming @dpr_ri 💩👎🏽

If independence only changes who holds the power while ordinary people continue to suffer, then we must have the courage to question what freedom truly means.

We are tired of fighting for survival in a country rich enough to give its people better.

FIGHTING IGNORANCE IS EXHAUSTING. BUT LETTING IT RULE IS HOW A NATION BLEEDS TO DEATH.

WE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. WE DEMAND JUSTICE. AND WE REFUSE TO STAY SILENT.

INDONESIA BELONGS TO ITS PEOPLE. NOT TO THOSE WHO RULE IT.

One project to another. One strategy to the next. Sometimes it works, sometimes it needs a little rewriting, and sometimes it falls apart completely. That’s the beauty of it, I guess.

Branding and communication have always been my playground. A beautiful chaos of ideas, stories, people, and possibilities. The occasional headache, endless meetings, words that need rewriting, and strategies that take a different direction. Somehow, I still find beauty in all of it.

I studied communication at university, never really knowing where it would take me. Years later, here I am, writing stories, building brands, creating experiences, and crossing paths with people from all walks of life. Entrepreneurs, celebrities, country leaders, and strangers who unexpectedly become part of the story.

Somewhere between the deadlines, the details, and the constant evolution of this industry, I realise that perhaps I never really left the girl who fell in love with communication in the first place.

Funny how life aligns things in its own time. Sometimes, your passion becomes your profession, your profession becomes part of your identity, and the journey keeps introducing you to versions of yourself you never knew existed.

Still building. Still learning. Still playing.

And then there’s the other side of life. The music, the dancing, the late nights, the laughter, the spontaneous plans, and the little moments that never make it into the picture.

It’s funny how people can know you for one thing and never imagine the rest. The dancing queen has meetings to run, strategies to build, stories to tell, and a whole world that doesn’t always need an audience.

Maybe that’s the beauty of it. I can be many things without having to explain every single one of them.

A little work, a little pleasure, a few plot twists, and a life that keeps unfolding somewhere between what people see and what they don’t.

Some stories are written. Some are lived. And some? They’re staying with me. 🥂 by @bynamira_

I appreciate human connection more than words can explain. 🫶🏻💗

People say I’m super friendly and can connect with almost anyone, but the truth is, I’m actually very private and protective of my own world. I love having friends around the globe, but a friendship that lasts more than 15 years? That’s something truly special.

No drama, no pressure, no expectations. Just “let’s do Pilates, go to yoga, party, watch a movie, have brunch, or meet in Japan if our schedules align.” And if they don’t? That’s okay, too. We have our own lives, and we don’t need constant contact to know the connection is still there.

I think that’s one of the most beautiful forms of human connection, being part of each other’s lives because we genuinely want to, not because we have to. Freedom, mutual respect, and choosing each other without making life more complicated. Not every connection needs to last forever, but the ones that do deserve to be appreciated.

Just keeping this as a little core memory to remind myself to enjoy the people I have in my life while we have the chance. Because time changes, life happens, and eventually, we might find ourselves living in completely different parts of the world.

And if she gets married and moves to the UK, I guess I’ll have to fly there just for brunch. Unless I meet a British guy, fall in love, and move there myself. WHO KNOWS? 😭🤣

Better start saving money now. International friendship is expensive, bestie! HAHAHA! 🥂

Here’s to friendships that feel like freedom, love that doesn’t have to be romantic, and people who make life beautiful simply by being in it. Love 🌹 by @bynamira_

Pink? Why not! 💗🤠 BB WILD WEST by @balibuddies , celebrating 14th anniversary. Thank you for having me! And when the party ended, the night was still young, the music was calling, and your girl was nowhere near ready to go home. Another Friday, another dance floor, another beautiful reminder that life has always known how to treat me well. I love how I can simply show up, follow the music, embrace the unexpected, and find happiness in the smallest moments. No big plans, no grand expectations, just me enjoying this beautiful life, one spontaneous night at a time. Maybe that’s my favorite kind of romance, the way life keeps surprising me, the way happiness finds me when I least expect it, and the way I keep falling in love with the life I get to live. So, darling, keep the music playing. Your Dancing Queen is just getting started. 💋🥂💗 by @bynamira_

You know when you have so many things to do, but somehow you don’t feel overwhelmed? You simply let the work become your playground, a place where you can be challenged, stay curious, and keep growing without feeling burdened. I think this is what I’ve been learning lately, to be grateful for every place that has shaped me, every lesson, every season, and every version of myself along the way. Bali has given me so much, and now Ubud is gently opening another part of my journey in Bali, filling my curiosity with culture, people, stories, and life itself. I don’t need to know exactly where this road will take me, I just know that life is not stuck here, and neither am I. I’m simply grateful to be here, growing quietly, feeling deeply, and allowing life to unfold at its own beautiful pace. Maybe one day, when I read this again, I’ll smile and remember this little chapter of my life, the work, the culture, the curiosity, the unexpected moments, and how beautiful it felt to simply be here.

A romantic little story I’m writing for my future self, one chapter at a time. And experiencing Piodalan and being part of it as a Balinese feels truly amazing. 💚🤍🖤❤️

Back to my happy place @snana.yoga 🤍 Not to be dramatic, but yoga feels strangely similar to the way I go to a club alone, dance to the rhythm, and lose myself in the music without giving a damn about who’s watching. I’ve met people through those nights of dancing, men and women, some who became friends, some who remained just beautiful strangers in a beautiful moment. Yoga is the same. I come alone, meet new people walking in every day, share little pieces of life, sometimes connect, sometimes simply say hello and never cross paths again. And honestly, that’s not the point. I’m not here looking for companions, attention, or someone to complete the experience. I’m here looking for me. Every time I step onto the mat or onto a dance floor, I’m choosing something that makes me feel alive simply because I fucking love it. There is something incredibly peaceful about dancing in the middle of a crowd without needing anyone beside you, just surrendering to the rhythm; and there is something equally beautiful about closing my eyes on a yoga mat, breathing deeply, moving my body, listening to the coach, and expecting absolutely nothing from anyone. Maybe it sounds crazy to compare yoga with dancing in a club, but that’s my kind of crazy, and I’m finally proud enough to own it. Because what’s the point of being alive if we don’t allow ourselves to feel alive through the things we genuinely love? I have plenty of things to complain about, plenty of things I still want, and plenty of battles I’m still fighting, but right now, I’m back in my own rhythm, back in my own body, back in my own energy, and honestly, what else do I need? Maybe nothing. Maybe just this: me, breathing, moving, dancing, feeling, and loving the woman I’ve become. Saluteeeee to that. 🥂🧘🏻‍♀️💃🏻✨ by @bynamira_

Life has two sides: one hour, I’m at the doctor’s office checking whether this body I work so hard to take care of is still behaving. An hour later, I’m out here flexing my beautiful tattoos as if nothing happened at @whatsnewbali wonderful event. Thank you for having me 🫶🏻😂

And honestly, red really is my color. My tattoos knew what they were doing. I have a serious crush on this beautiful body of mine—tattoos included. 😏❤️‍🔥

Should we get new tattoos? …

That’s a beautiful smile !

Me and Adeline in our own universe,

I think we already know the answer.

Ketika alam menjadi pariwisata, pertanyaannya bukan hanya: berapa banyak wisatawan yang datang? Tetapi juga: apa yang masih tersisa ketika mereka pulang?

Eksploitasi kehidupan liar yang seharusnya hidup secara alami menjadi bagian dari pariwisata massal sering kali berada di wilayah yang ambigu. Pariwisata menghidupkan ekonomi, membuka lapangan pekerjaan, dan membuat masyarakat sekitar ikut sejahtera. Namun, yang sering terlupakan adalah keberlanjutan: apakah kita juga memberikan edukasi kepada pemerintah, pelaku wisata, masyarakat, dan wisatawan tentang bagaimana menjaga alam dan isinya tetap hidup?

Aku masih sangat ingat ketika pada 2011 (realisasi nya di tutup resmi tahun 2015) aku menjadi salah satu orang yang mendukung penutupan feeding zone orangutan di Leuser. Aku sangat ingat masa itu perdebatan di warung-warung di Bukit Lawang, keresahan guide karena ketakutan tidak bertemu orangutan saat membawa tamu. Ya, Keputusan ini tentu menimbulkan pro dan kontra. Tetapi menurutku, menghentikan pemberian makanan yang bukan bagian dari sumber pakan alami mereka saat itu adalah langkah yang tepat.

Karena satwa liar seharusnya tidak belajar bahwa manusia adalah sumber makanannya.

Mira.

Salah satu hal yang kemudian membuka wawasan dan semakin menguatkan pemikiranku datang dari Abangku, Aca, pemilik @backtonature.ecotourism beliau adalah idolaku sepanjang masa. Orang yang isi kepalanya adalah ilmu yang humanis nya tidak tertinggal. Yang membuatku selalu belajar dan belajar mengenai alam dan seisinya.

Idenya Aca pada saat itu, sedikit gila karena harus mulai dari 0 namun keadaan mendesak, di butuhkan kepala dingin untuk memikirkan ide ini agar dapat terlaksana, penerimaan, dan kesabaran yang besar untuk melakukannya, yakni bukan dengan membawa makanan untuk mendatangkan satwa, tetapi dengan mengembalikan sumber makanan mereka ke habitatnya.

Aca mulai menanam berbagai tanaman buah asli Leuser di beberapa hektar hutan miliknya, tanaman yang di tanam bukan tanaman biasa. Namun tanaman yang memang menjadi bagian dari sumber pakan orangutan, gajah, dan satwa lain yang hidup dalam ekosistem yang saling bergantung. Aku ingat betul, setiap tracking ikut ke dalam hutan, by @bynamira_
