I am 5"5 and 120lbs. But I would like to gain some weight. My goal weight is 135lbs. Do you think that is too heavy for someone 5"5?

This is the formula used in gyms to determine "ideal" weight.
5 ft=100 lbs
each inch above 5ft=5lbs/inch
+10% for muscle mass
(+10% for bone density)
100+25+13=138
135 is totally reasonable for your height. If you are more densely boned, 151 would even be ok! Try gaining your weight in muscle. Increase the protein in your diet and start weight lifting!
You don't want to gain weight too quickly, because that weight would all be fat. Your age is an important factor in this. If you don't mind sharing, I can add more insight.

As a ways because the determine - do tons of units, with few reps in each and every. this is helping bulk up the muscle organization.

Gaining weight fast might be unhealthy.
Just eat junk food high in calories, fat and sugar and don't exercise or move for that matter.
