happy gal and her new toy

shakin' them haters off

and strolling home, you'll notice that macba is getting a face lift. they're trying to stop us, but only making it better

and as a precautionary measure, i wrapped this lil pig in a blanket so she doesn't catch her the swine.

some shred

so i've been accused of my blog turning into a "love blog" instead of "skate blog". well, i never intended on having a blog in the first place, nor was it supposed to be "skate" blog. maybe people need to start skating more? who knows???

back in barcie, and you thought i'd miss out on halloween just because i'm halfway across the world? well, think again...

a day to rest, and we were off, dressed in our smooth kits.

here's me, anna, meri, and our new roomie satu.
