Time surely changes everything around us, including how the society and personal response to their life questions. I am not living in the past, but perhaps part of my soul trapped there. The ancient wisdom is the mainstream of today life architecture, well at least that should be the reflection of Balinese culture.
There is an unwritten idea, but a (good-natured?) concept that Balinese should meet the Balinese. This very idea has made a lot of questions addressed to me, why didn’t I try to meet a Balinese girl?
Ah, I don’t like debate for nothing.
A simple answer would be, “I am yet to meet a Balinese girl, for all I have met are modern ladies from Bali.”
A local wisdom is not something that someone can gain by born there, this heritage neither can be achieve by living there. It is a blessing that given when the time comes, and when you are ready for it. A Balinese girl is the conveyer of this wise heritage.
Yes, I am looking forward to meet a Balinese girl.
Pada 17 April 2026, Menteri Kesehatan mengeluarkan Permenkes Nomor 5 Tahun 2026 yang mengatur perbekalan kesehatan. Regulasi ini mencakup produksi dalam negeri, pengendalian harga, dan transparansi, namun masih menghadapi tantangan implementasi. Kemandirian farmasi masih rendah, dengan ketergantungan pada impor dan ketersediaan obat yang tidak memadai.

What if the size of a dream was never the point? Through a Javanese kite-maker’s parable and voices from Rumi to Marcus Aurelius, the Gita to the Dhammapada, this essay asks whether dreaming is less a destination than a form of breathing — one we must keep doing, gently, for as long as we wish to call what we’re living a life.
WHO merilis tinjauan tentang 18 senyawa PFAS prioritas yang mencemari makanan dan air minum, serta enam kategori efek kesehatan seperti kanker dan gangguan metabolik. Makanan menjadi jalur pajanan utama. Temuan ini menunjukkan perlunya Indonesia memperkuat pemantauan PFAS untuk meningkatkan keamanan pangan dan air minum.
Evaluasi terbaru oleh JECFA (2026) menunjukkan risiko arsenik dalam makanan tidak hanya terkait kanker, tetapi juga penyakit jantung pada dosis lebih rendah. Beras menjadi sumber utama paparan, termasuk di Indonesia, di mana data dari Sulawesi Utara menunjukkan melampaui ambang aman. Perlu ada langkah kehati-hatian dan pembaruan regulasi keamanan pangan.

“I am yet to meet a Balinese girl, for all I have met are modern ladies from Bali.”
i really love this word. Since I’m Balinese as you are, I’ve felt that feeling. maybe if you are so lucky than you’ll meet that Balinese girl, or you’ll only be filled by those Modern ladies.
I believe part of our (refers to our multicultural nation) cultures anywhere would say the same.
Change gives us a new air, but there are people who still love to stick with the old tradition. Well, give everybody respect, and how they chose their live would be a wise path.
I’ve heard that concept before, that Balinese are supposed to meet Balinese too. I think, Balinese who lives in out of God Island, it’s hard for them to find their candidat….. except when they go back to Bali.
Bener tak.
