Back to High School

How many times did I hear "High School Musical is so boring and childish"?

But I'm not shame. I love HSM. It was a great and big part of my life. I made friends and it changed my opinion about music!

Godness I can spend all day talking how High School Musical changed my life. But I wont do it. I'll try to summarize everything.

I use to say HSM marked a "Start of something new". That's so true. The first time I watched the movie was on december 2006. That year was challenging. My first year of High School, my best friend was moving, I was falling in love for someone who were dating someone, my sis was getting married.

And 2007 would be worse. In fact, the worst I've had. But I knew when I saw Zac and Vanessa (I know that Drew sang in the first movie) singing the song on karoke that my life would be different. I just didn't have idea how it could be and how hard would be.

3 movies. 3 years of dedication. I don't have regret. HSM made me happy and made my life for this time. It was kinda see my life in the school. A version about what I was living there. And it's so great when you have the opportunity to know the things that happen with you also happens with everybody.

Friends. Gosh how many people did I meet because of it? I dont know. I just can say it was many. I realized that It's possible a friendship grow up even when two friends are so far of each other. I learned so much... with the movies, my friends and my idols.

Music. It's so funny... That "stupid" musical made my prejudice for rock dispear. After that I started to be free to listen to several musics and bands.

High School Musical was the beginning of the big love I would feel for my idols. Just the beginning of everything.

M & M

Almost nine years ago Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo also known as Mia entered in my life. That girl with a inferiority complex who loves writing in her diary made me interested in her story.

The question is: "Why have I identified myself with her?" Easy! She had many problems just like me. I've been in love with The Princess Diares since that day I watched it on the cinema. Why did I like Mia's story so much? I've never dreamed about be a princess or something like that. The answer I only would know after 5 year. Going ahead! 2006 was the year when everything started to changed. But I'm not going to talk about this now.

A good point which you need to know is my dad doesn't care about culture so it's rare he buy books or cds for me.

I wanted to buy a book. The Little Prince or The Princess Diares? It was my opportunity to know that girl. I caught that chance. And it was one of the best things I did in my life. Every word, and every line I read I realized that story was about me. Meg was watching me. Mia was totally me. I was the character. And I can't live without that strange part which was written for a person who lives in other side of America. Maybe many girls are like Mia. But I felt a deep connection. I "loved" a guy. He wasn't my Michael... But he looked to be. What she felt for him it was exacly what I felt for that boy.

I was growing up with her, book after book. And suddenly I was discovering loves and common things between us.

"Which I'll admit is a little weird, but I couldn't help it. I was so happy, I HAD to write it down, so I would never forget how it felt.

'And you still haven't figured out what you're good at?' she asked." (...)

"'What was that all about?' he wanted to know. 'Oh,' I said, putting away my journal, 'she's just mad because I haven't figured out what my secret talent is.'

'Your what?' Michael said.

'My secret talent.' And then, because he'd been so honest with me, about the whole being in love thing, I decided to be honest with him, too. So I explained, 'It's just that you and Lilly, you're both so talented. You guys are good at so many things, and I'm not good at anything, and sometimes I feel like . . . well, like I don't belong. At least not in Gifted and Talented class, anyway.'

'Mia,' Michael said. 'You're totally gifted.'

'Yeah,' I said, fingering my dress. 'At looking like a snowdrop.'

'No,' Michael said. 'Although now that you mention it, you're pretty good at that, too. But I meant writing.'

I have to admit, I kind of stared at him, and went, in a pretty unprincesslike manner, 'Huh?'

'Well, everyone knows,' he said, 'that you like to write. I mean, your head is always buried in that journal. And you always get A's on your papers in English. I think it's pretty obvious, Mia, that you're a writer.' "

I just have one thing to say: Thanks Meg Cabot :)
