I've been in a family that naturally loves music, my dad's a 'kundiman' master, my mom also sings with the beat of the guitar.. my brothers have a band in their high school days, and i happened to be a part of it by being a back-up singer.. i finally had my own band when i reached college, i have been in a 3 group, the first is all alternative-rock we're i happen to be the vocalist, the second would be the all-girls band and i am a guitarist there.. the last group that i have been to is may i say the best of it, where i am the vocalist and at the same time a guitarist, and we've had gigs somewhere in the downtown.. but we've got disbanded, and what really hurts is im forced to stop playing violin, which got my attention since i lay my hand on a violin of a friend..i don't own a violin, and i find it expensive, that's why i'm still frustrated.. my life now goes in my daily routine of office and work, and i really miss going out the stage and make a lot of singing, with my guitar and harmonica.. but i still longing to play a violin.. am i selfish?.. looking at my past, i think i've had enough of what it takes to be in the field of music..and i should be thankful that i've experienced all those things.. still, my longing for violin grows more and more especially when came across the road of someone playing a violin just for fun, how i wish i do that too..am i asking too much?

my dad is a musician too, and we grow up around musical instrument and records and tapes. my dad is a composer as well. i am sure your dad knows my dad. my dads name is Jun Mallillin and we are form the Abracadabra band. i know how to play the guitar and bass, got a chance to work abroad with my dad in a band. but now that i am growing older i wish i build a carreer whici is stable than just being a band. now, if you really love to play the violin why not save up. i also do that when i really like to have sonething, specially now that i have a child i cant just buy the things i want to buy for my child and my wife is my priority. i can only but the things i want if i save up

Keep struggling. It may be late but you will be honored for your struggles. Failure is the pillar of success. I am struggling too and at times I am benefitted by something or other.
