I know that you guys are well aware of my impusles, but allow me to reminisce the time I was fascinated with stringed instruments--double bass, piano, guitar, cello, viola, and of course, the violin. I was around fourteen then when I came to visit my dad in Davao (that's where he lived then). While I was strolling around the mall, I happened to stumble upon a music store's sale. Despite having a nonexistent background in music, I went in anyway and was mesmerized by an electric violin. And yes, I'm allow your imagination here.
Of course I had to buy it. It was shaped like an S! (for those of you who don't know, my real name starts with an S) And I was going to learn how!
WRONG!
Five years later, today, I still haven't taken lessons because of: (a) procrastination (b) sloth (c) unreasonable reasons. You might think 'oh, what a waste!' but WRONG again! I lent it to church! So Serenity (its name) is lodging there now. And you thought I'd learn my lesson right? In fact, after looking at wind instruments at wwbw, I'm thinking of getting this Alto Sax (did I mention that I DON'T do sax? and my having an alto range doesn't help at all) but it's a good thing I was able to slap myself.
Yes, I can be very stupid at times but it all works out most of the time! (God is good!)

I've always wanted to learn hot to play the violin. The instrument is expensive though. I'm sure the violin was of great use to the church. :)
That violin looks beautiful! It's okay, though, I would probably do the same thing. :P I tend to always pick up a hobby and then never follow through with it. You should go back to it and try it some time! I loved playing violin and I wish I still had mine. :)
@Rhea - don't be deceived! I didn't even know what I was doing. My concentration is a hoax! But thanks, my friend captured this photo (but I can't remember WHICH hahahha)
@Elilea - I didn't know what I was thinking. It certainly is offering itself for God's kingdom's use :D
@Amanda - I'll only do it if you'd go back! We're doing this together! HAHAHA
