from paris to jakarta

[@manour8442]

as a wasian girl myself i really liked watching this video, my grandma is filipina and I wish I could speak tagalog with her. i'm so proud of my heritage and want to feel connected but at the same time I know that i won't ever be fully connected with the culture having grown up in a western environement... but in any case lovely to see you visiting your grandpa's grave, mine is also buried there

[@katedesingano]

a filipina here 😁 hit me up if you want some help, idk i feel like helping rn

[@kaitlynscharfe]

a filipina wasian here and I understand too, I wish I grew up more with the culture because its so beautiful!!

[@moyamawhinney]

i feel this completely it’s so strange and i thought i was quite alone in this so truly warms my heart that we have each other here

[@atesah]

another Pinoy wasian in the comments…. Look at all us diaspora babies 🥹🇵🇭 I grew up in Australia but spent some formative years in the Philippines going to school and living with my grandparents. I miss it so deeply and am sad that I have lost fluency in Bisaya (my mum’s regional language). We can all reconnect with our heritage now, there’s always time ❤❤❤

[@kandidowson]

i’m half indonesian and half british but i’ve lived my whole life in Indonesia. it’s so beautiful to watch you connect to your indonesian roots while i’ve just moved to the uk for uni and am connecting with my british ones :’) it’s kinda like watching what it might have been like for me if i had grown up in europe instead of in asia and it makes me quite emotional to think about it because i understand the identity struggle that comes with not feeling like i’ve ever really fit in with my full-indonesian peers yet also feeling a bit out of place in the uk because i didn’t grow up with the same jokes, the same music, and so on like my family and friends did. either way, i’m proud to be both and though i get a bit insecure about not knowing enough about the uk, i am excited to learn more about both of my cultures :)

[@joyfullencounters]

happy to see jakarta getting the moya aesthetic treatment

[@moyamawhinney]

[@moyamawhinney]

❤️ thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@Mimismyth]

I'm originaly venezuelan and english but i grew up in bali, indonesia (since I was 5 years old) I'm now 28 and living away from home but its so nice hearing indo. You should learn it, its such an easy language because the grammar is simple, not like french with masculine and feminine and all the different tenses.

[@layanmind]

As an arab girl who knows the feeling of having blurry vision on the topic of belonging… I really respect the way you handled this video….. like I felt a bit confused at first because of the whole Paris aesthetic thing but you managed soooo well to make me see the beauty in Jakarta as well … and realize that it’s just another way of beautiful 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@iSoufflo]

i used to visit my dad in jakarta for at least 4 summers and i was scared that wouldn't like it. but jakarta felt so much like home. i'm from india, so the climate, the local simplicities, and the people made me forget the strangeness. i wish i spent more time there.

[@aryakambale6688]

Love how Moya shows us her real self. Makes me realise we’re all the same.

[@millytoplis4411]

I have always watched your videos ever since you first posted your New York video. I would always watch your videos of you at uni in Dublin with awe, yearning to move away from home and start a new, exciting life. Now I am in my second year of uni and this video made me sob. I miss my family and what I know as home. Seeing the love and affection you capture towards your parents as you eat dinner with your mum or you watch your dad do the crossword makes me long for that simple care and gentle affection you get from your family. Something about your videos always struck a cord. Thank you for capturing moments and turning them into art. Thanks for always being there.

[@moyamawhinney]

brb ur comment is making me cryyyy 😭😭😭 thank you so much big hugs xxx

[@diananguyen8177]

I think maybe with everything going on in the world right now. Just seeing you with your family back in the motherland made me so emotional. It is something I want for all oppressed people. To have days like the days you had in Jakarta with your family

[@reginaananda781]

moya, i love to see how you find comforts in one of your hometown, jakarta, and the way you show us how you spend your days there in this beautiful and heartwarming clips. as i am an indonesian myself, i’m also receiving comforts while watching this video through how you visualise everything so beautifully. i adore you, you’re such an inspiration.

[@moyamawhinney]

awww thank you so much!!! i’m going to miss ur food a lot 💔💔 nothing like it in paris

[@consstancce]

this video reduced me to tears, so tender and warming to see you with your family,especially 3 generations of women, that shot of you and your mother sat next to each other was so beautiful, enjoy your travels sweet moya!!!

[@monecarodriguez]

I’m missing my family in chile and looking forward to days like yours where I can make more memories with them❤️

[@khaneeshafauzi789]

as an indo girlie living broad this makes me miss home so much even though we just went back to visit family a couple months ago. i think you captured the quietness of being back home and spending time with family so so well even in a city as busy as jkt ❤️ enjoy your travels moya!

[@p88p88]

as an indo currently living abroad in europe and struggling to cope with the coming winter, this vlog comforted me and made me so homesick ❤ hope you enjoyed your time in Jakarta! really missing the heat, the food, and the heat of its food hahah🌶️

[@goodmorning12.]

I’m Japanese, my parents are also literally Japanese. I’m in Europe to study, I couldn’t meet my parents for 9 months. Sometimes I get some discrimination here actually, I am already used to it but, sometimes I’d like to run away and talk to my family. In this video, I feel like warm family love and so happy to see you so relaxed. It makes me relaxed and hurtful:) Thank you for the cute video💌

[@Natalia-ru6xu]

As daughters/sons, standing for ourselves is the most strong of all parents wishes, I could assume. Sending a big hug and wishing you do not get used to it

I guess this is my favorite video of Moya. The simplicity this video has especially when you’re in Jakarta warms my heart, I wish I could meet you in person (I live in Jakarta). But, hope you have a wonderful time heree! 🤍✨

[@cottoncandyhouse]

hi Moya! I live in Jakarta and I am always so familiar with how the city looks, and how it may look like a slow-paced living compared to a big city like Paris. but I never thought this kind of life could be so soft and beautiful to look at. I'm glad you had a good time :)

[@dianaceciliam]

I'm so happy you went to Jakarta and got to spend time with your mom.

[@lolagr]

I love this video, I even cried because I lost my mom months ago and when your mom was fitting your clothes , it reminded me of my mom. Enjoy your family time. Big hug❤

[@shannondewey1422]

I went to Cambodia for the month of January this year and this is making me miss being so immersed in a different culture and living at a different pace

[@zyyiux]

Sounds like a beautiful and heartwarming, returning to Jakarta. reconnecting with your mother's family, and finding comfort in a place that holds special memories. Wishing your grandma and the entire family good health and many more moments of joy together. 💗

[@zyyiux]

always waiting for your vlog Moya, always!! stay healthy

[@moyamawhinney]

thank you so so much 🥹🫂

[@brookeaustell]

So many special moments that you will look back on forever 🥺 your videos always make me emotional but especially this one. Simple times with family mean so much and I know you’re so so grateful for this trip

[@imacupofteapot]

im malay myself and i never thought i would hear you speaking melayu! the way you say things were so cutee

[@jannicefelicia]

Tbh i never really appreciated the beauty of indo aside from the modern looking places, but ur heartwarming vlogs really changed my mind about that tsym 💛💛

[@Toonksbell43]

this was so precious, the different vibes of pairs vs jakarta were so interesting. I loved the peacefulness of it all

[@imani.nothando]

yess to the artist’s way!! definitely agree it’s like an applied version of the principles explored in the creative act. also had been hearing about the artist’s way a lot & getting into it has unblocked me in such unexpected & beautiful ways. started letting myself vlog again, been playing with watercolors, and have been feeling a restoration around my childlike excitement about exploring my creativity. so gorg for all the cool new mediums you’re wanting to play with, so excited to hear how it goes!

[@Lights704]

Can you share with us how you felt in Indonesia, particularly with the language barrier, in the next video? I also didn't grow up where I was actually born, so when I go back it is definitely a strange, but enriching experience. I'll feel somewhat closer to a part of myself I didn't know that I had access to, but then also feel the gravity of all the things that I probably missed out on not having grown up where I come from.

[@gaboyisindahouse]

Moya in indo core is the best

[@acaaa863]

jakarta di tangannya moya jadi aesthetic 😍🙌🏻

[@_diya25]

I could actually listen to you talk for hours. your voice is so soothing and therapeutic:(

[@annemxma]

i literally spent 15 minutes trying to find answers for the crossword puzzle at 15:21 (i'm pretty sure number 14 is "epitaph" and number 6 is "pilaf") anyways, i really liked the vlog, indonesia seems like a beautiful country and the food looks really good too (btw do you have any recommendation for indonesian restaurants in paris ?), i also understand the struggle of not being able to speak the same language as some of your relatives but it's really nice that you still try and learn ! i can't wait for the following vlogs (mostly if you happen to vlog while you're in korea :) ), i hope you're having a great time 🎀

[@jessicabarrios12]

Thank you for sharing. I'm half german half thai and my mum never thaught me thai (i tried thai classes but it was really hard to keep up) and for some reason I feel so sad not being able to share my thoughts, my character with the other half of my family, but I guess I'm not alone with those mixed feelings..

[@CynicalDuchess]

thank you for showing us your mosquito bites, thank you for showing us eating junk food at 4 am, thank you for talking about the Gekko and the imperfections of your life because its these, to me, that make you endearing and relatable above everything else you show.

as a sundanese & indo, i’m so glad you have a good time here. sending you lots of love ❤️

My mother is Irish but her father is from California (where I’m from) and her father’s parents are from Mexico. My mother told me that she had a hard time understanding her grandparents (or at least one of them) because she never learned Spanish and all they spoke was Spanish.

[@joannnakin]

so lovely seeing you spend time with your family 🌷made me laugh when your oma thought you were saying pineapple about the food lol also I understand where you're coming from, because in a way we have a saying in mexican-american culture, "ni de aqui, ni de alla" which translates to "not from here, not from there" as in america we're not seen as full americans but in mexico we're also not seen as mexicans. however we know our roots and feel that special connection/guilt in our heritage 🤍 just wanted to mention i'm so happy for seeing you keeping it real as usual
