edna cigara i stavame

This is a phrase used in Bulgaria which symbolises half an hour. (in some occasions it may mean longer)
Ivan: We should leave soon.
Todor: Da, edna cigara i stavame brato.
Ciara’s are kind people with a heart of gold. They don’t trust many people easily but once they do they open up their softer side. They’re always there for the people that are close to them. They forgive almost every time because they see the best in the people they love. Ciara’s are usually looked open as stuck up but that’s far from the truth their confident in who they are without following the crowd. Ciara’s stand firm in what they believe. They can be stubborn but beyond all their walls their nothing more but full of love. Ciara’s are tough but take things to heart. Ciara’s are very upfront about who and what they stand for. Ciara’s will give you the shirt off their backs to make sure the ones they love are taken care of. If you have a Ciara in your life you are truly blessed it’s not common to find a friend like her she will always be there to make you smile, laugh or just to talk with nothing asked in return. She is so very special to everyone she comes in contact with. Thank you Ciara for being you and never changing because your are the light in our lives.
Who is that girl with the biggest smile and goofiest laugh?

That’s Ciara!

Close but no cigar 

When you come close to something but don't quite get there.

Just short of success

This phrase originated in the 1920's. Fair grounds would give cigars away as prizes. Prizes were more aimed at the adults then vs. children like they are now. The fair workers would shout out "close but no cigar".... The first written documentation of this word appeared in the 1930's and then became a common phrase.
You finish second in a race
A friend asks how you did
You tell them "I finished in second place, close but no cigar"
