My sister has always been talented in the field of music -much more talented than me. And it just amazes me how she can learn to play new instruments so easily! She actually started out playing the piano at 9, but when music was added to her list of subjects this year, she immediately said that she wanted to learn guitar.
As a musician, I know that learning two instruments at the same time would be a difficult task and I advised her to just take up the piano course so that she could improve piano and make her life easier. She wouldn't have to suffer the days of learning two instruments at once. Nevertheless, like all little sisters, she wouldn't listen me and went own with her own decision -she was going to learn how to play the guitar and she was determined to do it.
Although I initially didn't agree with her decision, I had to respect it. That means that every time she'd ask me to teach or help her with the guitar, I would have to -at first, because my father forced me, but later on, because I personally wanted to.
This was because I realised that the time we spent together wasn't just pure music class, it was a bonding time for us. Our lessons, every now and then, actually became something I looked forward to. And each time I teach, she listens and learns. Even if I had to sacrifice some study and leisure time just to teach her, I did not and will never regret it.
I wasn't able to see my sister perform because today's schedule was a wreck, but I did get the chance to see her practise at home with sheer determination that she was going to do this -and that alone makes a very proud brother. I don't know what kind of future my sister will have, but with that kind of determination, I do hope and pray that she gets herself into a good one.
I'll be leaving for Manila soon and I don't have much time to spend with my sister so I do want to make the most of my time left.
Tomorrow, it will be my turn to play the guitar for my recital, and I hope that as I play, it would make her a proud sister too.
The song I chose was Disney's "You've Got A Friend In Me." And if my sister will be going, I do hope that she would realise that I picked that song for her. If there is one thing that I would want her to know, it is that she would always have a friend me. Through the ups and the downs, the happy and the sad, and the victory and defeat, I want her to know what I will always be her friend and her brother and that no matter what, I would never leaver her behind -never. :)
Anyway, it's getting late and I still have class tomorrow. So it looks like this is all for now. Until next time! ^^
