Well, today I asked myself those questions over and over again.

Was it real when I was with someone I loved, was it real all I had with him, now when someone else just brings me down when I least expect it and when I'm trying to do something for or with him. I don't like being put down or get rejected. Especially when I'm remarked about my physicl lacks and then commented stupidly, animal-like, senslesly.

Once I feel bad, down, or whatever you like to call it, I tend to overreact on times. And since I'm a person who rarely changes her mind, even if I know I've made a mistake, I still keep on the way I've chosen. So now I'm in a period when even the slightest change in my mood, or a word said to me in the wrong way can make me explode.

I hate these path situatins, so much... ]]> YFelis http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/yfelis/98-ch6-final-chapter.html http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/ramarcus/97-ethan-now-almost-7-months-old.html Sat, 26 Jul 2008 09:09:29 GMT

If you can believe it, it's been almost 7 months since Ethan made his way into this world.

His becoming a right little character now, he can sit up, soldier craw and pulls the funniest faces, kids are great. He even sleeps through the night (actually slept from 9pm to 8am last night!).

He has no teeth yet so we have that to look forward too, should mean a few disruptive nights. :P

Anyway, just a quick update as I've not done one for ages.

Later 8)

Warren каза:
girls can look like guys with short hair, just like I have been told I look like a girl because of my long hair.
~YFelis~ CekC KuTu каза:

Warren каза:
Not if you are a very tomboyish.
~YFelis~ CekC KuTu каза:
My body, though not with much of a chest is at least a bit curvier than a boy's
Warren каза:
Of course, you have sexy arms and legs.
Warren каза:
And a great bum to boot. ^^"

I don't give a damn for how my 'boot' loks like or what my limbs are. I know I'm a XX and not a XY and for people who've known me for years and I really ean years and have been on less than a feet distance of me, to say such a thing...

How not to kill him!!!

I know I have some tomboy characteristics and I sometimes act like a boy, but yet I'm girl.

It is a money exchange program that is basically like PayPal, but better because they don't charge you fees for anything at all (except for statements :rolleyes:).

But anyway, if you do a good bit of online shopping I would say you should should check it out. I already have used it :P

Sorry, no offense if you are on IRL, but its true around here:rolleyes:

Anyway, my friend just got a new cell phone and was texting everyone during class about her new number and such.
One of the guys on her list was this really jocky popular guy. We decided it would be fun to play a little joke on him.

Now note, the classroom we were in was on the second floor of a school, and the only tree in the courtyard of the building was this really tall, very thin one.

Anyway, my friend texts him and says, "I see you."

We nonchalantly glance across the room and see him checking his messages and looking confused.

So, she gets a message back from him that says, "Who is this? And where are you at?"

My friend texts, "I am outside the window."

We look over just in time to see him check his message, stand up, turn around, AND START SEARCHING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW :P

It was so funny. I suddenly busted out laughing and he turned around and said he knew it was one of us the whole time ;) Sure... that is why you turn around and look out a second story window, and search a twig tree for a person :idiot2:

I dunno, just something funny :) ]]> fifi http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/fifi/94-another-funny-thing.html http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/yfelis/93-ch4-name.html Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:01:48 GMT I bet you didn't expect Ch4 that soon. Well, let me tell you one thing: Even if you've expected it it won't be what you've expected.

I guess I already got some of you confused - bare me a little longer... about 5 to 10 minutes.

To start with I'd say that this one is a bit different from the last 3. It's concentrated not on the feeling and happening of myself, but on myself. In my name in particular.

Today, 24th June, is Еньов Ден [ Enyov Den ] or in English - one of Bulgaria's most ancient holidays dating back to 500AC, when the Slavs were a great people on our lands. So back to today - today is also a personal holiday for everyone bearing the name of Yana, Yanko, Yanis, Yoana, Yosif etc., all names which have devived by the name Ivan ( also Yohan and Jason ).

So today I celebrate that I'm named Yana. Some will find it stupid or something, but considering how much does the name do for a personality there should be the Names' days. I can't imagine having any other name but Yana, simply because it resembles me the best. It, in Bulgarian, means 'Crazy River', also 'Gracious'. And that's how my name makes me gracious in kicking butts while swearing the other guy and normally crazy pervert.

Usually this day is connected with witchcraft and herbs. Also few centuries ago on 24 June the maidens, who want to get engaged in the following year used to put a named flower in a bucket and then a small girl had to handle, randomly, the flowers to the young women. Some may ask themselves 'How do you name a flower",well, the virgins have chosen a flower that symbolized the man they would like to get together with. It's been a nice and colourful day.

According to the people's sayings, today all Evil sleeps... I'd say it only takes a nap. Anyhow...

Since my grandmother was Yana too, I used to go with her in the valley and gather herbs. It may sounds funny, but I still do it. I get up before sunrise ( so about 3 am ) and go to the dunes to pick up some sand grass or aloe. Why do i do it every year - I don't know.

It's noon already and in 2 hours I'm going to work, but to work. Yesterday my boss said "I got you balloons". See, she's being bringing them since my birth day, then my prom... so more than a month. Yet I know that there are at least 3 bottles of Jonny Red label, maybe even ofe Black label, in the cupboeard in the office.

What can i tell you... We are one happy office - drinking during work time, and of course, my boss drinks the most. Well, I can drink more, but prefer to be professional at work.

If anyone passes by Sunny Beach, Nessebar, Bourgas, Varna, Sozopol, or any other place in Bulgaria, and is up for a drink - give me a call. ]]> YFelis http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/yfelis/93-ch4-name.html http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/yfelis/92-ch-3-summer-passions.html Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:48:04 GMT As the summer gets hotter and hotter I get more and more roasted!

And the nice June weather came with some matriculation results.
As if to put me on my place I got 5,12 ( B ) on my English exam, and as a student of ELMS ( English Language Medium School ) I feel terrible. But fuck it! I passes =p The funny thing is tha got 5,68 ( A ) on m Bulgarian exam. Mind that I am really bad at my own tongue. What got me the mark was my nearly perfect essay. Out of 30 possible points I got 29,5 because of 1 missplaced coma.
That way I expect my diploma to be about 5,50-5,60 as a total, where 6,00 is the maximum. It will be formed from my advanced classes' marks, year exams' marks and the matriculations'. Thank goodness I attended adv Chem and Bio, as well as adv Art and Literature.
Hopefully now on 30t I'd get the diploma right ( without any misspelled names as the last time ).

Work goes well... While waiting to d whatever it is I managed to reread all my fav books together with SAT 2 Biology and Chemistry, and Schnable's "Man and Woman Intimately" and Are you Nervous". Ater te later I got realy nervous and understood I'm a nervy one, who's nerves are easy to get on. Not as it was any news to me...

By the way, on 8th Sep I'm gonna blow away England. All English - be aware, a cat's coming. I'll start with Luton Airport at about 12:10 GMT, then move to Cambridge and from time to time to London and the furry burrow.

I know I got on many people's nerves with my chapterised blogs, but bare me a lil more. I'll get tired of typing and you'll be free of you sis Yana. ]]> YFelis http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/yfelis/92-ch-3-summer-passions.html http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/cyber-altair/91-my-exam-marks.html Sat, 21 Jun 2008 15:32:58 GMT ^_^' so here are my marks, not bad if i say so myself.

English (more then 3/4 of the class failed) 61/100
Maths (i hate it with passion) 55/100
ICT (the teacher just heard of msn, stupid bitch) 60/100
Economics (my fav. class, not really but i'm the best in my class at it) 83/100

June is an evil month... Taking life and joy away.

You may ask why I'm so gloomy. I'll tell you why.
On 1st June my dad was nearly killed in a car accident because some people in new, shiny cars, think they can drive as if they were F1 racers.

Thank Goodness the only dead thing was the engine.

Imagine what "Day of the child" present would any bad news be for my little brother. And for me.

Somehow me and Dad have a very strong relationship. I have always be able to rely on him about anything.

Now, less than a week later my father is on a burial ceremony.

Two guys aged 22 and 24 were killed while riding back home. Their murderer happen to be their neighbour.

As I were walking to my busstop this morning I met the little brother of the younger man. Just one look at his eyes was all I could do. I know the boy - he was a classmate of mine. I couldn't say a word to him. Just one look...

It is strange... How a SOTW theme turned to be 'living, breathing' start of that month.

The summer here turned into a cold cry of Nature when two flames were blown away. ]]> YFelis http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/yfelis/90-ch2-hells-heat.html http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/yfelis/89-ch1-may-fever.html Thu, 29 May 2008 15:23:19 GMT Prologue: This is my very first blog in here, so please, do not mind my randomness - I am simply like that and the things I do, or create, are the... Prologue:
This is my very first blog in here, so please, do not mind my randomness - I am simply like that and the things I do, or create, are the sae - a bit chaotic, spontaneous, and sometimes, planned.

So let's get going...

May... Spring month, month filled with the odor of blooming flowers and green, green grass...
My month! - not only because I were born in May, but also because I have always felt good during it. Or almost always...

This May made the difference. Since the end of April till now I were somehow nervous, stresed and uneasy for no particular reason... or was there?

7th May - my first fulltime working day for this year. It went alright, for a first day, and added to my CV the line saying "summer 2008 - office manager and touragent". It sounds really nice, but actually there is a lot of work to be done, many contracts to be signed and a messy computer to be arranged. That, combined with the end of my last ever school year, turns into sleepless nights, bisy weekends and running from one ond of Sunny Beach to the other. Mind you that Sunny Beach is the biggest summer resort in Bulgaria. If only I were losing weight that way i would not be complaintning, but NOOOOOO... I am still the same pigy-wigy as before :(

Few days ago I swang my ass for the last time in front the school building, and packed with an excelent diploma left twelve years of education in the past. Maybe in 3 months I will be wandering a new building and would be greeting other students as myself, but that would be only if I pass my matriculation exams.

These exams are a "good luck" gift from our Edu. government and a last obsticle between me and university. I have the confidence I will do well enough to pass with a C my BLL exam and with a B my EL exam. So, basicaly, 1st and 3rd June will be crutial for me and till 20th, when the results are coming, I will be dying slowly in hell, wondering what have I got on the exams. If everything goes according to plan I will have all applications filled in and send to my university by the end of June. Actually all I have left to do is hand my accommodation application, which, in my opinion, is the most important one.

There are a lot of things to be sorted out. Such a thing is my wardrobe. Since my prom it is in a total mess - golden dress hanging halfway out, clothes, wrapped one-in-other are tossed aside and few pairs of shoes are scatered along the room... Idily... But my prom night went well, although I did not get a lot of pictures nor got laid with my date - he left before midnight as if he came out of Cinderella's story. Well, as I am not some moaning princess waitng for her prince, I got myself a few drinks and together with the guys went to the nearest Pool and Bar for a game. And another drink. Or two...

Looking back at it May was not such a bad month after all - it could have been worse. ]]> YFelis http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/yfelis/89-ch1-may-fever.html http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/cobra/88-so-i-went-car-show.html Sun, 25 May 2008 19:07:40 GMT Yeah, yesterday went to a local car show, they have it every year.

Snapped 104 pics of different Classic cars, even got some shots of a few engines for fun.


Had a lot of fun. It's days like these that really make me appreciate having a camera.


A lot of people online and IRL think i'm crazy for liking the classic cars, but personally I think it's cool. I mean, my dad likes to watch the car auctions and shows on tv sometimes, and he always points out the ones that he remembers from when he was a kid. So for me it's really cool to be able to see the same cars he grew up with right in front of me, restored just how they originally looked. It's a piece of history for me, so even though it's just a car to some people, it means a lot to me.


Anyway, anybody want me to upload 'em so they can see? ]]> Cobra http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/cobra/88-so-i-went-car-show.html http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/fifi/87-first-blog-post-ever-p.html Tue, 20 May 2008 01:42:11 GMT Well, I have always wanted to have a blog, but I never had time to start one, and I also don't really know what to write in one:D

So I decided that I would start a blog that had my funniest high school memories to share, so maybe you all can have a laugh. So here goes with my first story:

Thaddeus
My history teacher's name was Mr. Burner.
One day, we were starting a chapter on some war, I really can't remember now, but one of the generals was named Thaddeus.
So I started joking around with my friend and was saying "Thaddeus... isn't that just a sexy name." "I am so going to name my son Thaddeus." Plenty of sarcastic things like that because, well, I think that Thaddeus is a terrible name, and I figure that a lot of kids would get made fun of for it... but oh well.
So we continued making fun of the name and being sarcastic throughout the rest of the class.
About 10 minutes before the class was over, the phone rang. My friend and I sat right in front of it.
But anyway, Mr. Burner walks calmly over to the phone and picked it up like normal. Then he said, "Thaddeus Burner, can I help you?"

:embarassed:And, well... mine and my friend's jaws dropped and we just sat there staring at each other for like 5 minutes. Of course, after the stunned period was over, we laughed about iit for a long time, and when one of us thinks about it, we still do:D ]]> fifi http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/fifi/87-first-blog-post-ever-p.html http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/ramarcus/86-updating-gi.html Sun, 18 May 2008 13:37:40 GMT Time to tell the tale of GI's upgrade and style change. I will assume you know nothing about GI is created and what software (scripts) it runs on.

Where to start? GI runs on a script called Vbulletin, it's a paid for forum software, that is proffesionally supported and has lots of great features that you just don't get in free software. You can check out the pricing HERE, it's not cheap but it's worth it (cheaper than Invision Power board though!).

Vbulletin release updates to their forum every few months, fixing bugs and adding new features. We were running version 3.6.8 and version 3.7 got released at the end of April. This was more than just a few updates, the core software had been given an overhall and maybe great new features were introduced, you can find specific details HERE.

When you start an upgrade of any sort you need to take the forum offline, closing it to members while you do a back up of the database (where all of the member details, posts etc are kept) and test the changes. Actually doing the updates isn't too hard, it's just the fact it can all go so horribly wrong and for no real reason, that's why we do a backup so it can be restored if it does.

3.7 came with a lot of new features, personal albums, social groups, thread prefixes and a load of other back end stuff you will never see. This is the stuff that then takes more time, you have to go through all Usergroups (admin, moderators, designer levels) and ensure the settings are correct and acceptable.

Vbulletin also has a great add-on feature, you can easily install new features on the forum that have been created by the members of VBulletin.org. Chances are the current version were using will work with the 3.7 but some don't and you have to grab and install the latest 3.7 versions. Some just don't work at all or clash with other features. I still have a couple to sort out.

Once this is all done you can open up the forum to members again, I was on MSN etc during the time to field questions. People love GI and like to know what's going on.

I almost forgot to mention the new skin. This came from ExtremePixels. Our last skin came from there and they offer very solid styles at a reasonable price. Their always quick with any updates as well as when Vbulletin updates, 9 times out of 10 the skin needs some tweaks as well.

We used THIS skin, obviously I've tweaked it a bit as it wasn't perfect but it is now ;)

The changes to the skin take more time than the forum updates, changing the banner and buttons is only half of it. Forum width and CSS needs tweaking to match the style I was after takes up a lot of time. I think it was a great success and everyone seems to agree. People will always miss the old brown style but we were due a change, we had that skin for almost 2 years!

I still have a few changes to do and I have done certain things to the site to allow some "interesting" competitions in the future. ;)

If you have read all of this, thank you for your time. I will leave it there and let you get on with your life. ]]> RaMarcus http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/ramarcus/86-updating-gi.html http://www.guildinn.com/forum/blogs/beanee/85-tokin.html Tue, 13 May 2008 22:12:19 GMT Shit man.
