College Oscar's Night Party- On a Budget!

Oscars 2012 is undoubtedly my favorite Oscars ever. Octavia Spencer moved me to tears and all the movies nominated was great. But best of all, I was a part of the party!

Dress code: black, red, or gold! 


Menu:

• Easter Pasta from World-Markets, with Atira's yummy alfredo-like sauce
• Fried Rice
• Eating Right Pita Chips with pesto from The Ferry Building Farmers Market
• Popcorns
• Strawberries with whipped cream

Game: Oscar's BINGO! Our categories ranged from red dress to Xfinity ads to tears on screen!

Our Oscars party only cost $5 per person. Guess how much celebrities spend on dressing for the Oscars alone? A whopping $35000!

Atira's tights and necklace! <3

With our Bingo cards!

Us girls in our Oscar's outfit- Trina had already changed :(

Thoughts on The Real Oscars:

Loved how they gave Christopher Plummer extra time for speech!

Rooney Mara for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; scroll down to see her at the Oscars!

Rooney Mara at the Oscars. BIGGEST transformation! Love it!

Reminds me of Barbie! Very elegant- screams respected, powerful, and lady-like.

Gorgeous movements by the bottom frills, perfect fit- not too tight but shows curves

!

Simple, chic, and daring with the cardigan- what a genius touch!

Nicole Kidman's 2007 Dress, only much worse because this one looks like it's choking Emma Stone.

Sad to see Angelina Jolie disturbingly scrawny.

Biking the Golden Gate

The hills in San Francisco may intimidate cyclists, but honestly cycling from Pier 40, across the Golden Gate Bridge, and to Sausalito isn't that bad at all! There were only two hills to cycle throughout the scenic route along the coast.

We started at 11a.m. in the morning and finished at 5p.m., mostly because we stopped and sight-saw a lot of different places. Here is a quick run-down of how we did it:

1. Rented bikes at The Bike Hut ($22 plus tax) and parked car next to it ($6)
2. Biked to the famous Ferry Building Farmer's Market and grabbed brunch
3. Biked along the coast to the Golden Gate and down the hill to Sausalito
4. Explored Sausalito's many art galleries and ice cream shops
5. Take the ferry back to The Ferry Building ($5 with Clipper card)

Bike Rental

The Ferry Building Farmers Market had everything: pretty flowers, fresh produce, gourmet cheese and salmons...

The most beautiful fungi I've ever seen- The Ferry Building Farmers Market

On the scenic route, near the warming hut and a protected bird-nesting site.

Cruising along the Golden Gate Bridge!

My rented bike in Sausalito, one of the most beautiful places in San Francisco Bay.

Gorgeous ferry ride back to The Ferry Building, just after the sunset.

Foothill International Night

Time really flies. It's been a year since Putrina and I hosted Foothill's International Night. We have our first meeting tomorrow: time to decide what to participate in! *It's been two weeks and I've been selected to be the overall chair this year! Fingers crossed for an even better show.

Polynesian Dance- emphasizes hip movements, very sexy!

Indian Dance- foot tapping with all those jingles and colorful fabric!

Brazilian Dance: festive and energetic, reminds me of Brazilian Carnavale!

Opening Performance: Lady Gaga's "Born This Way", because we are all super stars :))

Me- hosting the show with the mime, my shadow!

Edwin, me, Boris, and Putrina (my co-host) going all ethnic in Indonesian batik, Chinese shirt, and Malaysian baju kurung!
