Shakhova Oriana
Ukraine
Hello Simon,
Thanks for your letter and for telling me a bit about yourself and your life.
This time I will do the same for you. Well, I am a 27 year old Ukrainian lady.
I work as a designer for a company specializing in modern fashion, yet I am
responsible for local fashion contests. This is the vast field where you can
gain experience and create something new and special.
In the meantime I like such things: sports (fitness, swimming), traveling,
cooking, watching good movies, reading and gardening. Yet, many other things,
so many to mention. With the time, when we get to know each other better, I
will tell you more about the things I like and enjoy.
Now a bit more about my preferences:
MUSIC: ambient, folk, industrial, ethnic music, heavy styles (heavier than
simply hard rock or heavy metal, though I like some old-school heavy metal
bands). I also like fast techno, especially mixed with the distorted guitars.
And I also like sexy music, as I call it: Enigma, Era, Enya.
FOOD: I love fruits, vegetables, any possible sea food, good pizza. Drinks:
green tea, juices, mineral water, no alcohol. I can have a glass of good wine
or champagne, but that is once in a century! :)
COLORS: Black, the color of the night, the sexiest color of all. Red, the
color of passion and love, the second sexy color. These two aforementioned are
the dominating colors in my clothing, by the way. You can distinctly see that
on my pictures.
MOVIES: My all-time favorite is The Lord Of The Rings trilogy!!!!! Yet I love
good drama, such as Sweet November (my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!! Please find it and
watch!!!! I always cry when I watch it, and that movie really influenced me a
lot.......That gave me know what The True Love Is), The Green Mile, The
American Beauty, The Beautiful Mind. I love good old horrors also (The Evil
Dead, Phantasm, etc). I love good historical movies (Brave Heart, Gladiator,
The Patriot, King Arthur). I love cartoons (Shrek, and the old Duck Tales, of
course ;) ). And many many other movies. By the way, I am a big fan of
cinematography.
BOOKS: Favorite authors are Friedriech Nietzsche, Alastair Crowley, Ambrose
Bierce, Ernest Heminghway, JRR Tolkien, and Scott Cunningham.
I can describe myself as an attractive, responsible, intelligent, serious,
polite, trustworthy, sincere and open person. Yet, I am very romantic, and
find life’s beauty all around me. This keeps me optimistic and smiling. I am
passionate, and my second half will distinctly see and feel it when we will
make love. I am a kind person, and love to help people solve difficult
situations; that is why I have many friends. I value the same qualities in
people, and want my second half to possess at least half of those qualities.
For me, that will already mean that we have all possibility to be together.
You will probably be surprised, but I have never been in love. All I know
about love, comes from the romantic books and movies, and that’s all. Many men
over here are chasing me, but mostly they are not serious at all. I do not see
the future with them. Mostly, they are not looking for love, and simply want
sex. Others are just flirting. But I am thinking about love and feelings,
devotion and passion, understanding and reciprocity. I really hope to fall in
love with a serious man, who will treat me like a Queen and gift me all his
love---endless, neverending, vast, passionate, limitless… I know that when I
will fall in love, I will keep this love as the pearl of my life, and always
gift it to my second half and to our children. Like my parents, who live
together for almost 30 years already, and like my grannies who live together
for 60 years, give all their love to each other and to their children. I know
that if I meet my One and Only and we decide to create a family, I will be the
best wife for him, a very good housewife, a passionate lover and good mother
for our children. Only the combination of these four elements gives a perfect
and long-lasting relationship. Yet, there shall always be understanding in the
family, and we shall live together and simply be happy when the times are good
and be strong and help each other in the bad times. This is what a True Love
must be, and this is what I am dreaming about and hoping to have one day.
Looking forward to your next letter,
Oriana

> I am so sorry for the silence. I have had serious problems with my e-mail,m and I could not write you or reaf your letters. But today the problem is over, and everything is alright. Finally, I have a chance to read all your sweet ketters and reply at once. I like your letters, and they always bring a smile onto my face, so I am foreseeing the pleasant reading this evening :)
>
> Let's start with your first letter... Thanks for the compliments :) I am so glad to hear you loved my pictures. I will send you more with the time, I promise ;)
>
> In that letter, you told me that you feel somewhat speechless when yoiu think about me. Please, do not be shy and open yourself to me. Only that way we will see if we have a chance to be together. And, one important thing for you to know: appearance is not i9mportant, so I do not think that physical attraction is the most important thing in a relationship. There must be the inner contact, the chemistry, the passion and something untold, mysterious and magical between us two, and only that way we will be together. Not the sweet face, or good legs, but something what lies inside us, the sexuality of the person, the enigmatic inner self.
>
> I like your letters andf the way you express your thoughts, so we have all the chances to be together one day. Please, let's go on and see... I like you! ;) Hope you like me, too :)

Of course, i know it cannot be a called a relationship so far, because it is now only the correspondence and an introduction to something that will most probably happen in the future. But I'd really love to know what do you think about me and you, about our chances, and about the things we shall do in the future. Please be open to tell me what you really feel.

I prefer to act instead of talking, and hope you share that quality with me, too. When our hearts will tell us we shall go further, we shall follow its voice.

> I understand your mood, because you are right. The Internet is the place where the scammers, posers, game-players, and sexual perverts co-exist, among with the good people. Like you, I received the letters from ones who were not serious at all, from ones who wanted sex with me, some bastards asked me to send them money to help their "dying" friends, mothers, fathers, etc. But all that was a scam, and of course, I simply deleted those letters. Very often the Internet made me disappointed, and still I can't say I am happy, because I want a relationship, I want love, family, trust, and I can only hope I will find someone who will give that all to me. Maybe you? I am serious about you, and so far, your letters showed me you were serious with me, too. That's why all we can do is to go on and see... Time will tell if we are meant to be together.

I am glad I have met you, and my heart tells me I have made the right choice when I decided to write to you and get to know you better. You are the only serious man who wrote to me, and I hope you will never disappoint me. I want to go on with you, find out more about you and establish a serious and deep connection. I'd really love to see you in person, even now, because it is much better to do that earlier than later. Tell me when you are ready for that step, and we will discuss it.

You are absolutely right, life can offer many possibilities, many different variants... We may fall in love from the first sight, or not. We may miss each other after we part till the next meeting, or we will take it easily and simply think about the next meeting... So many chances, so many pathways... But if we do not meet---we will never know where our life will lead us.

> Well, to speak seriously, we can fall in love with each other. But not through the e-mails, that's for sure. For that, we will need to see each other in person. At least for a day or two. E-mails are not enough for a relationship. As an introduction to something more serious, they are ok, but nothing more. So, to see if we will fall in love with each other, we need to see each other and fall in love :)lol

They already helped me with the visa and the cheapest tickets, when I had my business trips to European countries, so hope they will help me again. But, if you are seriously speaking about the meeting, please provide me with the following information: the approximate timeframe that you want me to stay with you ( a few days, a week, or more), and the name of the International airport in your area. When I have that information, I will start checking all about it.

Thanks for giving me names of the airports, I'll send the request for the flights to your country. By the way, I have been to your country before, but that was a business trip, so I could not see enough of the country. Hope this time you'll show me some beautiful places :) Oh, almost forgot to mention. Maximum visa duration is 14 days, so we can find the time within this timeframe. So, a frew days, a week, or more? I can be free till the middle of September, so that does not matter how long I will stay there with you. I can stay even the whole visa period. So, let's decide, and I'll send the request for the flights.

Hi again,
We will both be nervous, be sure, because we both are serious about the meeting and we know that probably our future depends on it, on the way we behave, the way we act or speak... That is the challenge, but without it, we will never know where the pathways of life will lead us. We shall do that and see, and get all the answers to our thousands of questions. I want to believe that it will be the beginning of a serious relationship. We'll find out that!
Thinking about you,
Oriana

> I am very upset now and don’t know what to do :( The travel agent contacted me a few minutes ago and told me that she is coming tomorrow in the evening and will stay here till Monday evening, and I will have to pay her the whole sum while she is here in the city. My worst expectations became true, and I have not found the whole sum to pay for the tickets. My parents helped me only a little and I could not find more than 300, also I paid 50 for visa. So, I have now 300usd of the total 520usd :( I don’t know what to do, whom to ask, because most of my colleagues and friends are now on the seas. Of course, I’d love you to help me somehow, but I understand that it is impossible. You are there, far, far away from me, and I am here, and I see no way you can do it. Still, I believe the miracle will happen, and there will be the solution of the problem. I want to see you in person, and do not want to give up, especially when everything is almost done. I will have my visa on Monday, the tickets will arrive tomorrow, now we shall find the way to pass the obstacle somehow, no matter how difficult this can be. I know, if we work on it together as a team, we will solve the problem!
