The Bonfire

It's going to be Fourth of July in a few days and Beta Theta Omicron celebrated a tad earlier with good friends last night at Ocean Beach. Everyone brought food, chocolate, graham, and marshmallows for s'mores, pizza, soda, fruit platters, double stuffed oreos, and cake of course, for the lovely birthday celebrant, our amazing student body prez-elect, Heidi Hansen.


We all know a bonfire is most fun when dark, so while waiting for the sun to set, we enjoyed Domino's Pizza and cake.

Domino's Pizza's mushroom, olive, and ham pizza.

SafeWay's Fourth of July cake.

Amber, on the other hand, spent quality time with our NFF, Khlood's baby yorkshire. Thank you for being so awesome and taking responsibility to retrieve Chanel when she ran off to eat other people's food.

I think this photo of Amber is simply gorgeous!

And just in case y'all were wondering, products sold during the July 4th holiday with red and blue and white aren't actually because of anything patriotic in nature, it's simply because it's Heidi's birthday. So let's pretend those are her favorite colors, and fireworks are all dedicated to her. Haha! I kid.

The lovely couple, Heidi and Mayank

I also thought it was pretty cool how we were able to start a fire. Not necessarily from scratch, but hey, we made it work with scraps of wood we found along the beach. The bonfire probably had us all go be domestic and stuff.

So here's me being all domestic.

And we made fire!

The fire's up, we're ready for s'moreszzz!

Yay us!

That's why we're the honor society. We're smart to just stick the skewer in there!

Also, to make it clear to everyone, we are not a sorority. As y'all can see, we have some guys with us too! LOL.

The BB Torch and My BQO Girls

While dSLRs and upgraded lenses do capture the nicest photos, it doesn't mean regular cameras like the one on my BlackBerry can't take good shots. I left my Nikon d5000 at home this morning, so I was left with no choice but to put my BB Torch's 5 mega pixel phone camera to the test! It wasn't too bad after all, and actually managed to focus into some of the elaborate characteristics of the food I ate today. At least, that's what I think. You be the judge. ☺


I arrived at Bayhill Shopping Center in San Bruno earlier than anyone else, so while waiting for my fellow Beta Theta Omicron officers, I ate at AU's Kitchen, a small Chinese take-out place to kill time. I missed Chinese food, so their Sweet and Sour Pork Rice Plate became so enticing. Unfortunately, it didn't taste as good as it looked, and the lady who owned the place was the least bit friendly or hospitable. I enjoyed their white rice anyway.

I finished this in like 5 minutes! I guess I was just really hungry.

Of course, no meal can ever be complete without dessert. Allow me to introduce to you Cafe Grillades' Nutella & Banana crepe, made with unbleached flour and served with whipped cream, it was simply delicious! 

This makes me all hungry again!

Who's a happy advisor? Dr. Case!

Putting food aside for a second though, the BQO girls finally met to discuss our projects for the school year. What's most gratifying though, was getting to see our beautiful advisor, Dr. Case pose with her lovely snow globe souvenir from our amazing fellow officers, Amber and Camille who attended the Honors Institute in Boston.

We drove to Red Robin shortly after the meeting, Camille, Amber, and I. I personally don't think we were that hungry, but somehow we just had a big appetite for some clucks and fries, mac and cheese, and a thick and deelish classic banana milkshake.

The crispiness and juiciness of the chicken was just right.

This is honest to goodness sweetness!

I missed and love my BQO girls, especially Amber and Camille. We have so much ahead of us this year! Thanks for a great night, Gorgeouses. I can't wait for the Bonfire tomorrow! ☺
