Lady Gaga and PCD Concert

Best concert of my life.

I mainly went for Lady Gaga, but the Pussycat Dolls were pretty good too. I bought the ticket way back in January before I actually left to Australia... I really didn’t know too much about Lady Gaga... I just knew I liked her song “Just Dance,” so I thought it would be fun to go to her concert while I was down here in Perth.

When I bought the ticket, they were all sold out of the “gold” section, which is near the stage… so I ended up having to settle for the “silver” section, which put us somewhere in the middle. We were kind of far off, but I could still see/hear the performers pretty well.

Turned out to be a pretty spectacular concert… Lady Gaga is a GREAT performer, but I kind of think she’s a little out of her mind (in the good way).

I recorded all the performances on my camera. I was going to upload them all to this blog, but the internet here in Australia stinks, so I have not been able to do so… I’m going to keep trying because the performances are AMAZING! I was surprised just how well my little 10.1 megapixel camera recorded both the sound and the picture quality.

For now, I’ll just have to settle with pictures… and one video (“Buttons” by PCD). I'll either upload the videos later or just show you later on my computer. They pretty COOL though.

Haha, the new T-shirt I bought at the concert. Pretty sweet... all $50 of it!

Sick

Pussycat Dolls... We were pretty close, so my camera got some pretty good pics.

Sportin' the Gaga shirt again

Lady Gaga on the jumbo-tron

It was pretty packed and hot... but we had a good time. It was worth it!

The Gaga again on jumbo-tron.... I should have taken pics of her actually on stage... I don't know why I didn't; I did of the Pussycat Dolls...?

The screen of Lady Gaga they had over the stage before the concert began

Haha, I thought I was pretty cool rockin' out the tee-shirt with my $5 green sunglassess I bought at a flee market in Sydney...



The crowd behind us (there were tons of people)

Now for the videos... or the TWO videos I was able to upload to Blogger... MORE TO COME (as soon as I get sufficient internet)...................!

"Just Dance" - Lady Gaga

"Buttons" - Pussycat Dolls


This video is for my mom. Nicole from the PCD reminds me of her (haha)... The video is of decent quality... It goes in andn out of focus, but the sound is pretty good. Oh yeah, one of the PCD was missing... I dunno which; I only know of Nicole.

Random: Goodbye Perth

Sorry Perth, I’m ready to head home! “OZ” was great, but I’m ready for a change. Here are just a couple more random pics of stuff that has happened in the last month or so.

$100 bills... they're the only Australian bills I have not posted pics of... And as always, the only reason I have them is it's RENT day... LAME!

After winning a $150 gift certificate from Australian Medical Association, I bought myself an Anatomy & Physiology book... Although I have already taken both Anatomy & Physiology I and II at UNM, I thought this would be a really good reference book to have, expecially for a pre-med student trying to get into med school.

I also bought a MEDICAL DICTIONARY with the $150 gift certificate... And for sure this will come in handy in med school!

Finally I bought myself a lab coat that I needed for my Biochemistry lab... looks pretty cool, right?

This is just something I thought was pretty interesting/exciting. Last summer I participated in the AMGEN Scholars Program at the University of Washington in Seattle... It was a summer research program funded by the largest biotech in the world, Amgen... so I thought it was pretty cool when I found a flyer in the Microbiology hall at UWA for the "AMSR Medical Research Week - Western Australia Scientific Symposium" funded by AMGEN... Haha, AMGEN has reached Australia... It's all over the world!
