A Parcel from my Russian Angel

A Gzhel porcelain icon called «Неупиваемая Чаша» (in English: "The Inexhaustible Cup").
This is Nika's gift to our little chapel. This icon type is rare in Finland and hard to find here.

Hello, my friends! Sorry for the long silence again. For the past couple of months, I've been busy, or just too tired or lazy when it comes to writing my blog... I've been very active in our local Orthodox Christian community. It takes most of my free time. I'm a chairman of The Support Association of the Seinäjoki Orthodox Chapel. Besides, I'm the editor of our Facebook site (please click here to see it), which means that all those updates are written by me. The site is available only in Finnish, but you can use the Google translator. :) Our little chapel is one year old now.

One week ago, I received a big parcel from my dear Russian angel Nika. The parcel was full of many lovely gifts, souvenirs and decorative items: a Gzhel porcelain icon called «Неупиваемая Чаша» (in English: "The Inexhaustible Cup"), a lot of Yuri Gagarin collectors stuff (Nika knows I'm a fan of Gagarin!), four bars of chocolate, a lollipops, a refrigerator magnets, Snegurochka (in English: The Snow Maiden) and some other Christmas stuff. Wow! Thank you very much, my angel! Once again, you made my day! I thank God for you. Большое спасибо, мой ангел! Я люблю тебя! (^—^)

Happy Spring to everyone! God bless you all, my friends!

  2. Hi Teisuka,

    Long time no "see"! :-) Thank you for letting us know about what's going on in your life. Seems that you've really kept yourself busy. Good for you! Also, I envy you for the goodies you've received from your angel. They look nice and unique!

    I'm glad that you are very much involved in your chapel now. And you even created a Facebook page. Unfortunately, I've disabled my Facebook account, so I can't see your page. But I'm sure it's very well done!

    As you know, I'm not as active as before on YouTube. I have been somewhat bothered by copyright issues. My second channel is gone because I got three strikes on it. One of my major videos on my main channel was also taken down. And that's why I really dare not upload any more songs by our beloved Teresa Teng. I have to be more cautious now.

    So for now, I will only upload videos of my own content. I'd like you to check out my secret channel that I created about three years ago. I didn't tell you guys about it because I seldom upload videos on it. Recently, I've uploaded some videos that I shot during my cruise trips (you know, I'm a cruise lover.). So it has become more lively now. Please visit this channel when you have time and subscribe (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC6fUsXQVZnWtyS5gJqoNkg/featured). Thanks a lot! :-) By the way, the two people on the profile picture are my wife and me, haha...

    Thanks again for your new blog article. Happy spring to you too! May you have more pleasant surprises in your life and enjoy life even better!

    Cheers!

  3. Hi, Bao.

    Long time no see, indeed! Many thanks for visiting here. I received your message on my email inbox, but when I came here, your message was disappeared... I mean, I couldn't find it anymore. Really strange! Anyway, because I have your message on my inbox, I can still reply you.

    Thanks for your kind words, my friend. Yes, Nika always send me so lovely and unique gifts. She really make me feel like it's always Christmas or Birthday. So sweet she is. :)

    The Facebook site of our Orthodox Christian community should be available and visible to everyone, even though you are not in Facebook by yourself. Please check it again: https://www.facebook.com/Sein%C3%A4joen-Pokrova-yhteis%C3%B6-434805093222215/notifications/

    What comes to YouTube, it's a pity that we dare not make those lovely Teresa Teng videos anymore. Oh, those were the times, my friend... :) I'm sorry to hear you have been bothered by copyright issues and you got many strikes. For the same reason, I can not make videos anymore, and I am not active on YouTube.

    Thank you for sharing your secret channel with me. I checked your account and also subscribed it, of course. Looks very nice, my friend. Yes, I remember you are cruise lover. :) You and your wife looks great and so young. My goodness... like a teenage couple! Well, I have said this before: Chinese people must have good genes! 哈哈!
    Good for you, sweethearts!
    ヘ( ^.^)乂( ^.^)ノ

    Happy spring to you and your family, Bao! Be well and take good care of yourself, my friend. Hope things are well in your world. May God bless you, and keep your faith. Cheers! :)

    Best regards from cold and wintry Finland,

    Teisuka

  4. Hi Teisuka,

    That was really strange that my comment was gone here. Probably it was because the comment contained a website link (my secret channel). As far as I know, some websites would automatically delete any comment that contains a link because they would take it as an ad or spam. Fortunately, you still saw my comment, haha. :-)

    Thank you for your compliment to the profile picture of my secret channel. The picture does look good, and it was largely because it was enhanced by a professional photographer. On any cruise ship, usually there are some professional photographers who take pictures for passengers. Their cameras are of the highest quality, and they could use certain functions to make their pictures look even better, haha...

    Thank you for subscribing to my channel. As always, your support means a lot to me. Nowadays it's much harder to get views and subscribers on YouTube, so every subscriber counts.

    Again, hope you enjoy life each and every day, my friend! With your stronger faith in our Lord, I'm sure you will be more blessed!

    Also, I always enjoy your blog articles. Please don't give up and write more when you have time.

    Enjoy you week!
    Bao

    1. Hi Bao,

      Thank you for your kind words and good wishes, my friend. Yeah, probably website automatically deleted your comment because there was a web link. I'm sorry for that. Of course I subscribed your wonderful YouTube channel Cruise Lover. I'm glad for you and your wife, because you two have a nice hobby together! Cheers! :)

      By the way, I'll try to find more time for my blog. Many thanks for your compliment. Blessings and all the best to you and your family, Bao. Have a wonderful weekend, too. See you around, my friend! :)
