Hi guys! I
had the mood for fashion experiment that`s why this outfit is so different from
my others. I decided to keep classic colors but play with their combination and
straight lines. I shoot it near one of the
oldest churches in Armenia. It was build in 4th century!
Hi guys! I
am on family vacation in Armenia now. This is place where my mom came from. I
am feeling myself a little bit lost in gorgeous nature of this place! There is
so calm and quiet . I can’t get used to it because I was born in city and I lived
all my live surrounded by all kind of
noises and distractions. This is tiny town-hero called Aparan(although now it
looks more like countryside) .I made my lawyer-sister became a photographer for
a little bit and shoot this photos for you. I guess it was interesting experience
for her. Also be prepared for new videos! Hope you will like this blogpost.
Hey guys! I went a zoo couple days ago and i would like to share with you my outfit. Everything is no name :D Hope you will like it. And dont forget to check out my youtube channel SonaLand
Hello
beautiful humans! How are you doing? Hopefully great!
I am here with another
funny/silly/creepy/awkward video. As you can tell from the following
description of my own work I pretty much satisfied by quality of my videos. Moving
forward. As I have mentioned in my previous video about going through hard
times( if you did not watch it, go and check it out) I bought new lighting equipment.
I actually waited over half a year to finally got it from ebay but it is story
for another time. Now I decided to do personal video talking about some facts
about myself. Originally it`s supposed to be tag called «50 facts about me» but
I thought that it will be too long and boring to watch all 50 so I included
only the most interesting ones. Now, when i`m thinking about what I have
filmed… This is really weird and creepy.
Also can
not believe that I forgot to mention that I have a little brother! Boom! Bonus
fact! I actually really afraid of doing
grammar mistakes when it comes to writing in English! So I always check out all
my comments before posting them to make sure that everything is nice and
smooth.
I hope you
will enjoy this video. I am really
looking to learn something new about my subscribers. That will be great! As
usual promoting time!lol If you liked this video don’t forget to put like
butter below and also become citizen of Sonaland. Good luck. See you soon. I
hope… I will come up with another video soon.. really hope..
Remember I told you while ago about project called «Incredible success
stories project»? Guess what! Today is
gonna be the first success story and this is probably my favorite one. So, I
will try to keep it as short as it possible but as the same time try to make it
super inspirational and motivational.
Today`s story is gonna be about one of my
favorite youtube blogger-couples ever-Simon and Martina- who together
form EAT YOUR KIMCHI.
Simon and Martina-WHO THEY ARE?
Simon and
Martina are owners of Eat Your Kimchi label which includes 3 youtube channels with
520,000+, 260,000+ and 135,000+ subscribers respectively, they have made over
1000videos(!!!OMG, when I saw the amount of their video for the first time my
first though was «OMG! Are they even a humans?lol ») which were watched over
200,000,000times! They have their own website eatyourkimchi.com,studio,EYK crew
, they interviewed many korean and asian celebrities and I am really proud to
say that they are going to be coffee shop owners very soon! Such a great
resume, is not it? But their most amazing achievement is…their marriage! I `ve never seen such
lovely couple in my entire life.
Get inspired?
Want to know the full story? Give me your 10 precious minutes and i`m gonna
tell you!
The beginning
Simon and Martina met in Toronto`s University where
they came to get their school teacher degree. They fall in love , get married,
i`m not gonna spend to much time telling you their love story, you can watch it
here
. After year of marriage life in tiny
apartment in Toronto they saw
presentation about teaching in Korea and made pretty brave and a little bit
crazy decision- move to Korea and try to build
life there. Just imagine feelings of person who leaves home city,
family, friend and move to place where he/she knows almost nobody, place where
making friend is kind of difficult for foreigners. I guess it was pretty scary.
Second life
Simon and
Martina were teaching in one of Seul`s school for a bit and at the same time
from their first day in Korea they start doing little videos about their lifes for their friend and families who knew very
few about living in not big Asian country called South Korea.
Magic begins
This is part
that married couple struggle to explain. So, what have happened ? Totally
unexpectedly people start watching their videos and leaving positive feedbacks
and guys got some subscribers and their amount starts grow month by month. Of course,
they were completely surprised. They have started blogging in May of 2008 and
after of doing it for couple of years they thoght that maybe blogging can be
their full time job?
Tough times
Simon and
Martina did not like the idea of being separate all the time at work so working
together was their dream job. But how they supposed to find way to make it
happens?
Unfortunately,
Simon had …let say.. not great teaching experience at his work place so he had
thoughts of quitting his job and starting developing their site which was not
making money for first TWO YEARS but he saw potential in it and gave it a
chance. So……for couple of months they were living only on Martina`s salary
which disappeared at the end of every single month because of bills and rent
payments. I guess it was really psychologically hard for Simon to be in
position where you are not making proper money and can’t support your family
for a while because men are told from early childhood that they are the one who
must bring food to home , you know what I mean.
Risky decision
At the end of
the year site and youtube was making enough money to let Martina quit her job
as well even she loved it very much. It`s when they officially became full time
content creators. It sounds so cool! I can say as a youtuber also that becoming
full time content creator is pretty risky decision because your income depends
from your viewers who sometimes are very unstable: today they love and cry when
meet you in real life but tomorrow they will probably barely remember your
name. Of course, not all of them but I hope you get my idea.
Huge passion gives results
Somebody said to
me that here is no way that huge passion to your job will not give results. Simon
and Martina`s story is proof for it. In 2012 Martina and Simon asked their
viewers to help them make their dream
come true: registration eatyourkimchi as a business and renting studio in Seul
which is really expensive for foreigners so they asked their viewers for some
help. They thought 4000$ is maximum they can raise. But they were wrong.
Viewers from all over the world came together and donated over 113000$ only in
a month! Unbelievable! Using that money they not only register EYK as a
business but also hired two more people in their crew!
This year KIA company gave them wonderful
opportunity: their provided them nice KIA car and designed it with special eyk
logotypes.
Couple months ago Simon and Martina surprised their fan by telling
them about their new project: coffee shop which they open with another
youtubers and blogger called «Talktomekorean»
But their main
the most important achievement is something even bigger that having over half a
million subscribers of having their own studio and coffee shop. It is ….their
relationship! I have never seen such harmonious and happy couple.
What EYK story`s
tells us? Sometimes pursuing the dream may be a bit risky: don’t be afraid of
taking risk. Don’t forget that successful career can`t replace happiness of
having good relationship. Who said that happy relationship and successful career
cant exist together in one life?!
I was thinking about doing "INCREDIBLE SUCCESS "series for the longest time and now I think I am ready for it. So, basically, WHAT IT MEANS?
We all have your own dreams, goals, wishes and etc. Sometimes there are SO HUGE that we almost have no believe that we will ever achieve them. I dont like such phylosophy so i decided to do some reserches and write about succes stories of different people from different countries all aroung the world. I am doing it because i want to remain you ( and also me) that if you have desire and stay consistent you will achieve everything. Literally. EVERYTHING. And it also kind of interesting to see how far someone can go. So, i hope you will like it. See you in part 1 of incredible success project!
Could you believe that this is the same person? I swear you! I have been subscribed to her for a while and only yesterday i had a thought that i can write about her in my blog! I tryed to do some reserched but unfortunately all information about her was in chinese. All i know that she is 25-26 years old girl from China who has incredibly successful blog where he does different make up transformations. This one is my personal favorite. This post has almost 200,000 views.
