It's a good article. I think that the magazine speaks quite nicely about our dear couple and it seems that we found out something.
Huh...engaged?! This is...wow....Congratulations!!

Yeah, I really liked the article, too. Very Happy

I thought that the author seemed to think quite highly of them. just because we love

So, it was nice to read. Wink

It reminded me of an article from the 2003-04 season that was in Blades on Ice, actually. :jump2:

And yeah... :blink:

Apparently, they are engaged? :blink:

It's funny to me that this was just a photo caption and not mentioned in the actual article. :kataus:

So, if they are... Wink

A million congratulations to them!!!!! :stari:

But honestly, I want an actual quote from Albena and Maxim first. Laughing

Quote :: Thank you my dear Lana Ah..I will miss all this when away. Especially cause I'll be away all the season but I'll try to be here as often as possible. I'll miss you

i hate goodbyes, Alex. absolutely loathe them. Sad

i am trying to convince myself to go to the welcome section and write something to you. i will miss you very much, draga. i can't believe you will be gone so long! :disap:

:xxxxx:

alexandra wrote:: Oh please. I would apreciate this a lot.

I'll have to ask one of my lovely friends with a scanner to do it for me. :zy:

Baaad computer. Are you stupid of so

hmm... I wrote you a reply, Lerochka. But my internet died when I was trying to post it. Rolling Eyes

I'll have to find some time to post tomorrow. Wink

I swear there was a Bulgarian article where she did actually say it. Of course, now I'll never be able to find it. But it was something about meeting with some schoolkids, and the kids asked when they're getting married, and Albena said she didn't know, for now they're just engaged. I'll have to see if I can find it. Or it could be the 400th time I misread something because my Bulgarian is horrible. :kataus:

Also, I can scan the pictures of Stephane, etc., out of IFS. I'll move my computer over to where I can reach it with the scanner cord and get right on that. Wink

I put the pictures of Stephane in his thread (in a strange and wild attempt to keep threads on topic :kataus:

), and here are the scans of Albena and Maxim, including the small article on Lerka's website Wink

Lana :<33: dear, thanks you very, very much!!!! I missed so many important things this weekend Mad

Thanks a lot for this article, and thanks to Grace for scanning it!! lol!

The pics are awesome!

Kisses!
Vania

Grace, thank you very much zvet

, and thanks again to Lana who types the articles !!! zvet

You're wonderful girls ! zvet

But

the article doesn't mention anything about the Bulgarion version of the site Exclamation

It's true that this version could be useful only to the BG fans, but ... Suspect

I think the author should mention it (Lerochka, you know why I say this, right :blush2:

I'm proud with the BG version :blush2:

)

Kisses!
ohhhh

Thank you Grace. It's very nice of you to do this. So, you moved your computer, changed the wires and troubled yourself so much for us? :respect:

Thank you again!! It's nice to have the whole article as a jpg.

Haha......yeah sure. lol!

But it's good if we try. Not like I'm going to do in the next lines Ayayay!

Yes...I don't like them either. At all. I will miss you too...very much. I will miss each and every one of you. I will miss the forum, the messages, our topics and discussions..ahh!! But, I'll try to check the forum as much as possible. It's a promise Wink

Grace wrote:: I think if I had made a website, I'd be shy about publicity, too, but if it's going to be their official website, people really do need to see it.

I think it's good that you might change it a little. Of course it's very good now, but change can be good for anything.

Yes, of course, I understand it Wink

actually, I'm not sure it will change a little.. :blush2:

Still, you will see it, soon! Rolling Eyes

And woow, Grace! Thank you sooo much for scanning these articles!!!!!! Thank you!!! But now I have a question.. What do they mean here -> "Denkova & Staviski's official site is not discreet when it comes to the couple's star status. It seems I can't understand what do they exactly mean under "not discreet" Embarassed

Very baaaaaaaaaaad!!! Weep

But don't worry, Lanochka! I'll wait until tomorrow :wink:

I personally think it's a horrible word choice. Rolling Eyes

To do something discreetly means to do something prudently... almost secretly. Suspect

So, I interpreted "Denkova & Staviski's official site is not discreet when it comes to the couple's star status" as meaning that we are not modest about their star status. :kataus:

Why would we be? Razz

I don't know, maybe Grace had another interpretation. Wink

Ohhhh yeaaaah. Embarassed

I remember that now. :kataus:

I've just read so many quotations from Albena saying that they weren't engaged, etc... that when she finally says it, I cannot remember it! :blush2:

And thanks so much for scanning those photos, Grace! zvet

It was going to take me quite to get them done. Embarassed

Also, thank you for your attempt at keeping some order. Thanks! Thanks!

Erm... I'm not sure it will work, though. Laughing

You are very welcome, but it was not such a big deal. Razz

I only had to move the computer about two meters. :kataus:

In fact I had to move it to my desk... I should keep the computer on my desk, of course, but if I want to watch TV and be on the computer at the same time I have to move it, which I did for the U.S. Open final, and... I've been too lazy to move it back to my desk yet. :blush2:

No, I think that's about right. But I think I can see where there might be some confusion about maybe whether the site is their official site or whether it's a fan site. Right now if you didn't know it was their official site, it would seem more like a fan site, and certainly there's no reason for their fans to be discreet about how fabulous they are. cheers

But on an official site I think most people would assume that they would not be quite so open about how great they think they are... I hope I'm making sense?

What I really mean is, most people would assume that an official site would reflect how they see themselves, not how their fans see them. And so in that case I can see where people might expect it to be a little more discreet than it is. Smile

Hi!
Grace, I want to ask you something - it's not about Albena&Max, and as usual Embarassed

I'll be completely Off topic as usual!)

but you live in the US and maybe you know what's happening with Angela Nikodinov. I can't find any info about her. I'm asking because, maybe you know, her parents are Bulgarian bg1

and I think about her as of a Bulgarian skater :blush2:

although she competes for USA. The only thing I know is that our individual skater Ivan Dinev trained with her last season.

Sorry to put this message here, but I know Grace visits often this topic.

Kisses!

As far as I know Angela is still living in California and coaching. She has a student who does pretty well at competitions and has been to U.S. Nationals. Also, she was of course coaching Ivan Dinev-- I've heard they were dating? But I don't really know about that. They certainly were together all the time (with his son) at Europeans last year. Smile

Angela will be skating in a few shows in November and December, which I think is the first time she'll have skated publicly since the car accident that injured her and killed her mother? I'll be excited to see her again, she always was my favourite U.S. lady. Smile

Thanks, Grace!

Quote :: I'll be excited to see her again, she always was my favourite U.S. lady.

Really?

Oh, that's great! I like her too!

And about the gossip that she and Ivan Dinev are dating - hmm, I don't know. I know that the name of Ivan's (ex???) girlfriend is Albena Exclamation

and once a BG sport commentator (Krum Savov - for the BG fans) made a very silly and funny mistake because of this coincidence of the names. He said that the name of Max's wife (!!!) is Albena and Max spend all this time with women with this name - at the ice rink with Denkova and home - with his wife. :dying:

No need to tell you - I stayed like this : Shocked

But it was few years ago when (almost) no one knew they're in love. I knew it, but maybe many people didn't.

Kisses!

I absolutely love Angela. All the other U.S. women tend to look exactly the same, but not her.

I think (the other :kataus:

) Albena is his ex(?)-wife, actually. I mean, I know they were married, and I'm pretty sure they're divorced now, but I wouldn't swear to it.

Yep, too many girls named Albena Wink

But were they married or they jsut have been dating scratch

Uh, I think we have to move this discussion in other topic Embarassed

Hugs!
