Mom's birthday breakfast!  Spot the cake thief! United motors was celebrating the opening of their renewed representative office and held a fabulous private party! (photos by Viktor Burkivski) Liisi Koikson and Vaiko Eplik The last full-on 11-hour-long school saturday.. probably ever.  My most awesome school-mates and colleagues NO-99 dance camp latin edition!

" (Ralph Waldo Emerson & Bessie A. Stanley)
