Sasha & Vera

After studying in special linguistic Russian school during 2 years we were decided entering to oriental Institute, linguist department. There we were studying during 5 years. It was great and interesting time in my life. We got plenty new information about different cultures and some skills which helping for us nowadays.

We graduated Far Eastern Technical University, the Oriental Institute and received diplomas with honors in Specialty: linguist-translator of the Korean and English languages in 2007.

Unfortunately we didn’t have work with Korean after graduating and our perfect knowledge was melting and disappearing day by day.

First in 2008 we worked in insurance agency by insurance consultants. There we got so many necessary skills with talking and introducing company and her services and products. We were meeting with clients and try selling products of health insurance only. 

But we were failed because there are in Russia Russian people didn’t get used to using health insurance like in Europe and America. Here people try safe houses and cars but not theirs health. It’s not our fault it’s political system of our government. Not so many people even know about such insurance here and necessity to have it. We got not so many clients and our salaries weren’t enough for normal living, that’s’ why we left these work place.

After first resigning father’s friend offered for us try work in auto spare parts shop by storage managers in 2009. As we are twins he decided hired both of us. Our dad had worked there too around 3 years at that moment when wecome there. We kept records spare parts for carson stock; also we typed invoices to customers and fill out orders from clients.

Such work wasn’t as difficult as can looks from first view. We got 2d education with special program for goods calls by 1C and got specialty: Supply manager, logistic. Well, we worked hard and try also keeping our Korean knowledge by working tutors. We had time on it too as we get used work hard and we divide themselves to lovely work. Also as we were 2 girls among all staff of workers our director treated us by marshmallow, cup cakes and by chocolate everyday.

But through some time we didn’t have tutor work anymore and such manager works was so boring for us. Also we didn’t get increase of our salaries after probation. And when we ask about it, director said that he will not increase our salaries because we live with parents and don’t have own flats and families. He decided that dad’s salary and our 2 salaries will be enoughfor our family. Crap!!!!!!

His words were like thunderstorm among clean sky. It was second drop of our patience. First drop was refused on our request about attending International twin’s day in Mojiang city, China as participants not guests. Our twins club prepared some program for introducing Russia in such international feast. Third drop of our resigning was our extra weight which we got for 6 months. We got 7 kg of overweight. Amazing!!!!!!!!I got some belly and big ass because I always seated and typed orders and different documents. I saw that Vera become fat too. I said to Vera: Vera look at this, I have belly, how I will wear dress or skirts, where is my waist???OMG~~~~

Well after 6 months of working we left that work too. Our resigning time was time of attending Russian delegation in Mojiang. We saw that feast through internet and follow by all participants with attention.  

On the 2d day of feast we saw young Singaporean girls who sang 2 songs and introduced dance as real professional artists not like quests. Also we saw MV behind the scene during their performance. Then we were known that they were Miko and Yumi newborn stars from Taiwan, they sang DNA song. That group called By2 and they were invited stars. 

We were impressed. We had never seen such dance performance here from any of our Russian young stars. Those 16-year girls were amazing; they had shown excellent singing and dance performance without phonogram. They sang Chinese modern songs which sounded great and very beautiful not like we used to hear when we were teens. In the 3d day we were hearing 3d song of By2 and become By2’s fans.

We tried finding DNA MV and tried searching some information about that group. I found that MV in youtube site. I read comments and there by2 fans said that they have Taiwan fans club of such group. Also I found many other songs from first By2 album; we liked all of those songs. 

We didn’t know Chinese and we didn’t get meaning of the songs, but those songs sounded like a melody which we were known already 100 years. As in Russia people say: Talent doesn’t have language and nationality. And really we determined song about love from first listening according melody and voices of Miko and Yumi without any translations.

 

Next day I suggested to Vera create our youtube account and try talking with that By2 fans that they will help us translate and find By2 songs for downloading. I did it and also uploaded some video from our first visit to China, International twin’s day.

Then we found many By2 fans in youtube who helped us translate by2 songs and we found friends from Singapore and Taiwan. Slowly we were refreshing our knowledge of English. Then we registered on by2 fans site, and still were continuing chat on English here. It was really tensely work but we did it, hope successfully ^^. We were raising our knowledge about other culture, omens and customs every day.

But we got misunderstanding too, because we didn’t know Chinese and it was hard work to understand By2 Taiwan fans club’s site. We had many questions, which irritated some Taiwanese people, because we asked in English and they couldn’t speak English and not all could endure so many English questions.

By2 inspired us and we decided attend dance school and learn such dances like them. We started study dances as professionals not only just dance for health. Stretch and ballet lessons helped us think about female beauty and femininity.  Lessons forced us have separate meals 4 times in day not huge portions. We lost our overweight there. Dance lessons "presented" for us elastic, soft and sexy looking bodies. I will continue such practice during all my life because I realized that I will never have belly and overweight even after pregnancy.

Then we started create video about by2 by using girls’ photos and videos. We used Russian,Korean, English, Chinese songs in our works. We expressed by this way our understanding and support for By2. It was tensely work which we liked. We created more than 30 videos about By2 and will do it either in future.

Here you can see one of our creation work and story about By2: 

Then we had registered on Plurk site to continue make chat in English. We met so many friends here too, not only in Taiwan but from other countries too.  It was thirst for knowledge, unfortunately not all appreciated it, because we probably had mistakes, use old words and created poor structure of sentences. Sure it’s able to irritate and deter some people. ( I wrote about it in topic about July 2011). But who studying foreign language he knows that find place for practice, even native speakers its big luck, delight and happiness.

 Such chat gives incredible feelings to get some new unknown information and priceless experience.

Well, By2 opened for us internet world and community there. Before 2009 we lived like usual Russian people,whose don’t use international chatting. By2 also helped us think about such thing as international friendship. We were known many things about Taiwan China,Singapore, America and theirs customs which were hidden here.

We are happy to get such possibility.  And when I asked translate my letter to Chinese one Canadian guy he said: “Don’t waste your time there”, I was really upset, because without by2 fanssite we will not be able chat with him in plurk site. I tried explain such thing, but not sure he got me or not. Anyway, that guy removed me from plurk friends, and I really don’t know his meaning about my support of by2 and about his decision too.

Please don’t think that we are crazy By2 fans. Miko and Yumi just presented for us possibility to meet all of you in the internet, that’s all.  We are still supporting them, but unfortunately don’t have time for creating some fresh videos. In this year we created only one video. 

 Recently we created own blog where we write some interesting stories about our events in a life.  Hopefully more people will follow us and will like our blog.

Sincerely, yours Sasha
