A Musician's Dream

In this video: Everly
music from: Howl's Moving Castle
title: Merry-go-Round of life by: Joe Hisaishi
Since the day that I have joined a group composed of all music enthusiast, specially it was made for the ones that loves to play the violin. It opens a new chapter in my life, seeing and experiencing new things, capture every image and of course knowing new friends that you can tag along through the journey that an individual like me is walking on.
At first I was an ordinary art and animation student from a state university, then, there came an opportunity that I once longed for and almost forgotten and suddenly I realized that I have to grab that thing, that I see as a new light. as a child I wanted to play this instrument, back then as I can remember, I asked my Mother if I can study to play an instrument like the violin but, I was replied by a No, we cannot afford that kind thing besides we are not that rich. That really made me sad because at that time my family had so much expenses that made my father go abroad to work and my sister take part time jobs while in college, until I forgotten that dream.
So many years has gone by and one event that made me remember as if I had an amnesia due to an un-expected encounter with a fellow that I not realize will be my friend and teacher. I saw his violin in my high school teacher's class room and office. I approached it and wanted to touch the instrument, but of course I didn't because I thought that I might break it if something happen and I saw that person,  the one that owns the violin. I realized he was my class mate's older brother.
(let's just skip another chapter :p)
again years has gone by and I went to college, and there is this I called opportunity, I won in a drawing contest in my school (and yes I am the first placer) my drawing for a mascot is chosen. I received the price money. Thinking what to do to it, should I keep it? should I spend it for my materials for school? or should I share it.
but, something just kicked in. I went to a store and bought the violin. after that at home, I searched the internet to learn how to play it, I started to learn it by myself. there are so many things to learn like, how it was made, what materials is it made from, history, music theories and so forth.
In the group that I joined while I was in self studying stage, they helped me a lot. they gave me and the other members some helpful advises and tips. In that new chapter that was naturally written in my book of journey, I had so many encounters, so many mistakes and so many places that went through, One experience is that, whenever we play in parks public places even though we are not asking for donations, the guards always sends us away and telling us that we cannot make any noise or perform without permission from the park's offices.
so I wanted to share this video above:
I saw some pictures and videos of musician Playing classical instrument all over the world in parks on street and other public places so, why cant we? aside from this, there is also an event in my life that I won't forget, in a beautiful park a guard tells us that we cannot play our instruments and there was an observer that helped us these are couples and they are very happy that they saw a bunch of children practicing a piece. We are very thankful that they lend us their studio for a while just to practice.
This is a new dream that I wanted to fulfill to publicly permit musicians to play their preferred instrument, depending on one's purpose.
