'We are
not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny, but what we put
into it is ours'.
Probably
everyone at least once in his life tried to influence his fortune
and change it to the best. It's not important if he succeeds or not,
a strive to the good is always rewarded.
My name
is Victoria, I was born in Ukraine, in a miners' town of Donetsk
on August 7, 1973. My height is 156 cm, and I weigh 61 kg. In childhood
I was into figure skating, folk dancing and plying the piano. I am
helpless romantic by nature. I like music of 70s and good old movies.
I am a homely creature and like comfort, coziness and family atmosphere.
I love books and prefer reading a chapter from Stephan Zweig to going
to a night club. No, I am not a goody at all, I like socializing and
modern tendencies, but somehow everything is so different nowadays,
much different from what I got used to in 80-s. Maybe I am so old-fashioned
as I was brought up by my grandma and grandpa, as my parents were
still students when I was born.
In school
my classmates compared me with Tatiana Larina (from 'Evgeniy Onegin'
by Pushkin). I used to get offended then but now understand that they
were right in a way. I like nature, wood, river, flowers. I wish I
could socialize with that more and oftener, but unfortunately I can
fully savor it only in summer when I am on vacation and can go to
Russia. But memories and photos warm my heart and help live through
long winter evenings.
I like
arriving at dawn in a new town where there are no familiar people
and I can wander along the streets just feeling free and alone with
myself thinking about something important.
My favorite
months are April and October. April is a month when nature wakes up
and inspires new plans and new hopes. October is a month of romantics
- sough of yellow leaves under feet, walks in the park, drizzling
rain…
I like
kids, and have especially warm feelings to them, but don't have my
own children so far. But I hope that the time when their ringing voices
sound in my house is not far away.
In people
I value decency, sincerity, find a sense of humor an important quality,
especially if speaking of men.
In the recent past I used to spend summers with friends on canoe paddling
down the rivers and camping on the shores, mostly in Russia. I was
deeply impressed with Karelia, notwithstanding cold days and attacks
of mosquitoes at night.
When
it was time to choose a future profession I was hesitant and unsure
of where to study history or philology. In the end, books won and
I entered the Faculty of Literature and Russian Language at a University.
Of course, I studied English too, but I wish I paid more attention
to it, as now there are lots of blank spots in it. I am working on
my English, and though it's long before I can say I speak English
decently, I can express myself.
Life
dictates its rules and laws and makes me work in sales in spite of
my philological education.
Speaking
of my requirements to the partner, I'd like him to be under 50 and
preferably not from Africa, all the rest is insignificant. I want
him to become my one and only - my support and hope, which will shelter
me in storms and life hurricanes, blizzards and lightning… Let
people pass in a hurry, and cars haste by, let the world live in a
bustle, bridges fall and homes rise, forests burn and children grow…
Let it be… Only if his kind and so dear eyes are watching me.
His strong and mighty hands embrace me. His loving heart with me,
forever mine. What else does one need in life?
