live blog: HSM3

FINALLY, i am able to see HSM3!!! HOORAY! so excited, i wanted to do a live blog to capture the entire film.

open scene: troy bolton, sweating and breathing hard. way to capture the attention of all the girls...it's still PG right??

pep talk in the locker room. that's all you're going to say "16 minutes"?? COMON troy you can do better than that!!!!



TROOOOOY! gaby's entrance is a BIT MUCH, don't you think?? i had to stop here and take a laughing break because really...i can't help but laugh at it all.

umm this has to be the COOLEST high school party ever. meaning it's so not real but way to make all the little kiddies aim high.

college coach doing a house party visit? smells like ncaa violations...

"right here" - i really hope they don't make gabi give up stanford for troy. maybe he can get a stanford scholarship? palo alto is just too pretty and awesome!!

troy's in! HAHAHA TOTALLY WHIPPED.

omg julliard?? ooo they put sharpay versus her brother versus kelsi versus troy?? NICE. let's duke it out people.




"i want it all" FINALLY a big number. and back at the place where it all began - the lunchroom!!! YAY! FANTASTIC NUMBER! haha so over the top but PERFECT.

what is up with dressing monique coleman in ties? nerdy HS girls wear ties??


BEAUTIFUL scene!!! "can i have this dance" umm love the choreography and song but the dress is too short for the twirls and lifts. but oh really that was beautiful! i love the rooftop garden!! i watched it three times =)

"oh honey, if that's what you call an invitation, you'll be dancing with yourself".
yes thank you disney! empowering girls!!!

super cute "night to rememeber" dance scenes! with the girls and boys alone at first then together. sharpay and ryan's scenes...then the entire scene with the "parents"...omg these disney people are geniuses!!!!



44:27 i have to pause. "prom dance scene" on the stage "gonna be the nights of nights"...the boys look SO cute in their tuxes and have a super cute dance that i just had to mention..and pause and take pictures! teehee!!



15 seconds of ryan, troy, chad doing "saturday night fever"-esque dancing is CLASSIC!

the plot thickens. gaby has gotten into the prestigious summer honors program.
her description:



"Graduating from East High School State, New Mexico. Achievements - Valedictorian, Academic Decathlon Team Member. Always top of her class at mix of 4 different high schools. Likes animals" - that last line, com'on could you make gabrielle any more lame?!?!?!??????

"take a breather, lebron!" umm how many of the disney kids caught that reference? haha. love how troy and chad are potential basketball scholarship athletes at a D1 school and they are driving around in the unsafest truck on this planet. it for sure has no safety features, save for the almost deadbeat engine. and digging around with your barehands at a junkyard is a sure-fire way to get tetnus.


"the boys are back..."
omg yay zac and corbin sing together!
haha this is why i love the series - awesome long dance numbers!! i am laughing out loud at some of the moves they had to do, but really they work hard. not a fan of the song as much as others, but the dancing was off the hook!!



i love how fabulously evil they make sharpay. but wth is up with this bag?? me no likely.


OMG NO BITCH DO NOT PUT OFF STANFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH you make your own decisions TROY! GO TROY GO!


so soulful. <3


haha sorry just couldn't help myself!! HAHA

seeeeee look how beautiful palo alto is!

omg gabriella is not coming back?!?!?! WHAT?! DRAMA!!! no more goodbyeeeees! but that is a shit thing to do over the phone =( poor troy.

"everybody knows you don't bring the girl with you from high school"?!?!? SHUT UP COREY OR CHAD OR WHATEVER THE HELL YOUR NAME IS!!!!!!!!

dood. troy drives FAAAAST.

ooooooooooooo love the play! sharpay goes nuts! standin drama! YAYAYAYAY

"sharpay evans? i believe you're in the wrong costume.." yesssss sharpay RISES AGAIN!


YAY KELSI!!!! YAYAYAY omg and ryan too!!! wooooohoooooooooo



OMG UC berkley!!!!! HOOOOORAY

umm shouldn't vanessa be giving the speech, as she is valedictorian? ha who are we kidding, troy rulez the skool!!

i'm serious. they are geniuses! remember taking the Class Picture at UChicago and trying to stand within the big spray painted numbers that represented our year? and how long it took?? this is incredible, and without lines?? disney is magic!!



the graduation dance scene is fun. and it brings me flashbacks of the final scene of "Grease".

"high school musical. who says we have to let it go?"
exactly. i will never let you go!!!


FANTASTIC!

wait, it's over? gabi really missed the prom?? there is no real prom scene?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. i wish there was a college reunion movie in the works =/iv

12 days left!

Less than 2 weeks at Drexel and there's lots to do. I started making plans to do some of the fun, foodie things in Philly. I've slowly been making arrangements for people to pick up my books, and going through my papers to decide what to take and what to recycle. I need to start packing, get rid of furniture...oh and study for my exams =D

I've tried to pack in the fun with my friends here and probably spending more money than I should. PABC, Shecky's Girls Night Out, quizzo, dinners...it's crazy to think that after this short stint here at Drexel, we're all going to go our separate ways. I know I'll keep in touch with most of them and I'm so freaking excited for our futures!!!


HOORAY! Just DU it gets 3rd place at Bards during ChrisJeu's goodbye evening

Now I'm off to Sang Kee dinner - the best Peking Duck in Philly!!

a question

"Are you the leader?", the taxi driver asks me after my friends have left his car.

"No...I guess I am just more vocal...", I respond.

yay first flip video!!!

this was super easy to make, though I don't know why it's not readily coming up as HD...now I have to make inauguration videos and compile my shots from tonight's PABC performances! Great way to procrastinate, haha!!



Starring Tracy and Brenden, shot inside the Stiles Hall Office.

been watching a lot of espn

3.1 miles in 47:20
ran 1.3
average speed was 3.9

next goal is to be under 45 minutes
i had to walk a lot slower this time because my right ankle/shin area was bothering me =(

Happy Days

Earlier this week, L sent out an email asking about our "happiest day" and I've been doing some thinking about it. Well, first off, let me just say how much more incredible personal and thoughtful something like is, versus the stupid and annoying "25 things" chain-mail randomness that has attacked Facebook.

L wrote about her wedding weekend..that makes sense and she has all these memories about the weekend that are incredibly detailed. I have a few ideas of some happy "moments" that happened - but can't really decide on the #1 time when I was happiest. Also, I can't really remember anything else about my "happy days" except for the moment that made it incredible or happy.

For example, I was really happy when I got into UChicago, Drexel MSP, and Med school (though not really in that order). I was also really really happy (like so excited I might throw up happy - don't laugh, it's happened before) during the Dolly Parton weekend with JDP in Atlantic City. Valentine's day in 2005 was a really happy moment for me, even though the relationship didn't end well, I can still read the card and remember exactly what I was feeling that day.

But other than those "moments"...I can't remember anything else about those days. Nothing specific. Maybe the answer is that I am generally living happy days. And that is fine by me!

Run like the wind blows...on a not windy day.

So this weekend I purchased tickets to Detroit for the weekend of April 3rd. S won't be there (skank ho!) but jdp will! wooooot super excited!

This also means that I have 1/2 there for the 5k, now I just have to sign up for the event. I am just a bit worried that I won't actually be able to do it so have been trying to test it out on the treadmill before I do something crazy.

Sunday: 60 minutes on the treadmill, only 1.2 running
Monday: ~ 30 minutes, 1.2 running but I wanted to at least do 3.1
Today: hope to repeat Monday with a bit more running.

And the new ipod is really great - nice to be able to run and not worry about it falling off or skipping. hooray for new toys!
