Hahaha that Sailor Moon background LOL
I think that rednote app is better than these app 😁
Nice love from india🇮🇳
What i have learn is, if you want to be great, stop talking about things, Content is more enjoyable when you are watching someone who is reflecting over someone who looks like they are teaching something. You are 27, practically a kid, safe it is to say that, you might be most brilliant person i know but, you are not yet wise, long story short, stop putting a cap on experience and knowledge and explore. Watching you study or cook or shop for groceries or even making for yourself is far more appealing. And what's with you looking down on a camera? it's rude
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate the discussion and different perspectives. I’ll continue sharing mine as well. Cheers!
Your way of speaking has changed, lol. Looks like you're picking up North American gestures and tone. You used to sound more like yourself, but hey, change has its charm too. There is no age limit for learning!
Thanks for sharing this, Pasha! I really appreciate your insight and support. Funny how I didn’t even notice my way of speaking changed!
try speaking properly
syhes tryibg bro hop off
Could you kindly explain what you mean by ‘properly’? Is there a specific syllable or tone that I’m pronouncing incorrectly? I’d love to improve and get it right.
@brovkosays when saying hòuxù you're saying "how-shoe" try saying "hou-su" or "hou-shu" hou more like an owl then the word "how"
Thanks for this - it’s very helpful!
Dūn hòuxù
I was trying 😊
No, we don’t. This applies to the US as well (and North American countries in general). However, in the US, we do have exams that we need to take, such as the SAT, SAT II subject exams, and ACT (depends on how good the program is) , along with presenting our four-year high school GPA and extracurricular activities to be considered competitive for college admission. Standardized test scores are not required in the admissions process for public Canadian universities, though a few private universities do accept the SAT. At this point, you just have to do very well in high school.
Pasha, I truly appreciate you sharing this; it’s very helpful!
you're so fineee
You can thank yapdoller for that one
so they are flocking to a communist party approved app?
u live in china?
I live in Canada now, but I spent five years living in China 😊
Let's got that COMMUNIST APP BANNED!
Ironic, huh??
Indeed! Also, learnt the difference between ironic & ironical 😊🥳
@@brovkosays ironical is not a word, only ironically
Thanks for sharing 😊 “Ironical” is a word. However, it’s less commonly used than “ironic,” which serves the same purpose and is preferred in modern English. Both are correct, but, I agree, “ironic” is more widely accepted and used.🥳
@brovkosays fascinating, thank you
Hi . The dug is so cute 🥰🫶🐕🦺🥰
Aww, right? 😍🐾 She's just the sweetest! Can't resist those puppy eyes! 🐶💖
Type of beach videos I like.
@17:20 Мені надзвичайно подобається цей образ і стиль - ти виглядаєш як елегантна жінка з витонченим вчительським шармом. Це тобі неймовірно личить! Вишукано, граційно і дуже мило)))
Дуже дякую, Пашо! 😊
Happy new years🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉🎊
Happy New Year to you also 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

Hey
Hey and welcome! 🤗
You are ukranian?
Yes, you’re right! I’m Ukrainian 😊
your Chinese is good. (I must be the 1000th to mention that haha)
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it 😊 Definitely want to improve my accent 😅
@@brovkosays haha I think it is acually good. Preparing for HSK 4 as well )
@@topdim-ku Thanks a lot! I wish you good luck with the preparation! Feel free to contact me if you have questions - I have passed the exam in the past ;)
@@brovkosays all good ;)
Love the vlog!! It feels so natural! best part was when you said, Welcome to Canada! Skin is cracking, I feel like a mummy haha!
Thank you so much for watching and sticking with me all the way to the “mummy moment!” I’m glad you enjoyed it-I was seriously one moisturizer away from turning into ancient artifacts. Really appreciate you hanging in there till the end! You’re the real MVP!!! 😊
Thank you for speaking about Ukraine. Wishing you success in growing your channel. Great video, profound thoughts. Keep going!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It truly means a lot to me, especially when it comes to speaking about Ukraine. I’m really grateful you took the time to watch and share such thoughtful feedback. Your encouragement keeps me motivated-thanks once again!!!
As a Chinese Canadian, welcome to Canada. Wish peace and best deal ASAP for Ukraine.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I truly appreciate your kind words. Wishing you all the best as well!
I seriously don’t think a different style would limit you because you look great in every style. Anything you wear suits you so well since it all depends on your look and body figure. You can pull off a classic look, a cute look, an outdoor vibe, or even a hip-hop style effortlessly. But out of curiosity, is that a new little tattoo on your forearm?😯
Thank you for the compliment, Pasha! Yes, it's a new tattoo, got it in Shanghai.😊😊
You prettiest in da world!
🤭😊🫣🪭
Remember this comment when you become famous.

hey, nice video, but sorry I couldn't take my eyes off those windows... they're really dirty
Haha😅 Thank you! You're absolutely right, but the only thing I can do is to wait for the condo to arrange the cleaning 😄
You will always shine brightly in the eyes of those who admire and cherish you, including your friends and those who secretly hold a special place for you in their hearts but can't express it to you for fear of coming across as too creepy. The number of views doesn't matter at all, because in the end, being an influencer offers only fleeting comfort and fame. Your account is filled with fun, lighthearted videos that captivate and entertain. You don't need a title like "influencer" to leave an impact; you already do, even if you don’t realize it yet. Don’t let the view count discourage you. Simply be yourself, enjoy what you do, and the rest will follow. Followers and views are nothing but hollow numbers. So keep being you Brovko!🤜🤛
Pasha, reading your message really brightened my day. I’m incredibly lucky to have such amazing people in my life who offer so much support and kindness. It’s truly a gift to be surrounded by such positive energy. Thank you for making my day brighter!
@@brovkosays Haha I've been following you for as long as I can remember(both Instagram & Facebook), back when you were still in college and hadn't even started grad school in Shanghai yet. We also share a few mutual friends, so you're definitely not just a stranger. It's funny though-I always had you pegged as quiet and introverted, but I guess I was wrong. Again, please don't stop writing your poems))))
@@pashaw8380 thank you, and I really appreciate that! I think your assessment of my personality is correct. I'm only extroverted when it's just a camera and me :D
@@brovkosays I finally learned a new thing about you XD. I guess you're taking a step forward from being introverted lol. Well, please keep it up and I look forward to learning more!)
@2:30 : Well put! @6:30 : Не важливо, якими там є західники в Північній Америці - тебе завжди підтримають друзі і ті, хто пережив щось подібне. @7:40: Now you can probably relate to how challenging it is to be Asian in the Western world, especially if you're an Asian man. For years, Asian men have been misrepresented in Western media, especially in the realm of “dating.” They’ve been seen as less desirable by white women, often dismissed for not fitting conventional standards of physical attractiveness. Stereotypes like being nerdy, short, and boring have been all too common. While things are improving-thanks in part to the global rise of Korean pop culture-the shadows of these outdated views still linger. Anyway, I’ve always loved your videos, and every time I watch them, I can see how much you’ve grown in both your mindset and character. It’s just that we don’t get to talk much, otherwise it would be amazing to exchange ideas on different cultures and customs. Best of luck Nastya!
Thank you so much for your comments and support Pasha - I really appreciate it and it's great to hear your perspective!
@@brovkosays And just wanted to let you know that my friends absolutely loved the poem I translated for you-the one you originally wrote in Ukrainian. The way you captured your life in Shanghai is so vivid and eye-opening; it has the potential to really resonate with Western readers. You should definitely write more pieces like that! If I come across anything else that strikes me as impactful, I’d be more than happy to translate it into English so others can experience it too. I truly wish you all the best in Canada and can't wait to see more of your writing in the future!
@@pashaw8380 Thank you, Pasha! I am flattered that you translated the poems for me - that's very nice of you. I also wish you all the best in every sphere of your life, and keep in touch!
I see you are trying to become an influencer.
I would call it a creative outlet
🔥
💕✨
Video is out of sync but still awesome. First time to listen to you speak in Mandarin. Hope all's well.

Wow
Oh my, caught pretty bad cold twice this autumn/winter. Just so happy I'm not having COVID in China right now! Hope it feels better for you now as you moved to Canada :) Good night! xx
Thank you! Be safe and take care, star✨! Canada does feel good 😜
No idea how i got here on 1 am XD
Destiny, they say...
Your news is fresh. More places are closed and restrictions are not getting lifted for sure…
Thank you star! May the force be with you!
Ohhh this is gotta be a good life This is gotta be a good life This could really be a good life😊
🤗🤗
Keep it up
🤗🤗
This vid gave me nostalgia of 2016, mmm >3 blessings.
Interesting!
котиииик!!!
🐈⬛💚💚
Very cute and interesting
The most funny thing is you have improved your English so much in "China" lol. Good luck to you and I hope you get what you deserve! Great to see you here again.
Funny, I always use Chinese in my daily life.
@@brovkosays , Я знаю! Тому знати про це ще дивніше. Я стежу за цим каналом з першого дня і помітив зміни (мовний тон і фонетичні наголоси). Зміни досить помітні Американські телешоу та музика є, мабуть, найважливішими факторами.
Excellent observation!! 👏👏👏 And also "face whitening cream" for skincare products is very popular among the Chinese. That's why most Asian girls hate going to the beach cuz they don't like tanning their skin. The paler the better. This might seem a bit racist to the Westerners because in the West people seldom talk about someone's skin tone. But Asians do a lot. Anyway great observation! Btw your English has improved a lot! The more you talk the better stress and tone you have! Keep it up 👊
Keep yourself hydrated! It’s too hot over there now and even I’ve never been in a situation like this, 40 is crazy 🫠. The hottest temperature I’ve experienced is 37 which is now in Taipei. 不要中暑了👐🏻
Since you're interested in culture, here's something to intrigue you: issuu.com/ujalatsuyen/docs/_ Maybe it will inspire you to make another video about it.
Thank you!
Taking care of a dog is pretty much the same as taking care of a child. I'm a dad of a 2.5 year-old British Bulldog and I took him home when he was only a few months old, which means I regularly had to wake up in the middle of the night trying to catch his vomit with a bowl (he sleeps with me in my room). It lasted until he was about 8 months old. You also have to teach and train them to behave well. They get sick, too so you must know how to treat them with healthy diet and daily supplements, which also cost a lot. Having a dog is just like having a kid so once you own it you must love it 'til the end. Glad to know that you're also a pet lover.
It’s good for your skin cuz they are pretty high in protein, particularly Collagen in tendons and skin)) Next time try 猪脚面线🍜
