So like today I had my first ever piano lesson and it went kinda well (at least I didn't break my fingers or anything) but when I was running my fingers on the keys a sudden wave of nostalgia came over me and I was immediately transported back to the time when I was 9 and was learning the piano from one of my daycare's principal. Those were really happy memories but then as I started playing and my teacher taught me which key was the middle C, a sudden  wave of sadness and also nostalgia came over me. I immediately thought of him. Yeah, that him and then the long hours of the time when we would talk on the phone until 1 in the morning all came back to me. He also was really talented with the piano and encouraged me to play it. Funny though, I thought that memory was very insignificant and that he just wanted me to be musically inclined like him... But I didn't know that he was supporting ME o.0
 And then when I was playing the middle C again, I thought about the time when we would laugh on the phone, how he said that I wasn't bad for an "amateur" in his words and that he would want to compete with me one day in piano playing. A pang of sadness hit me as I realized that I couldn't experience them ever again. The long talks, the "I love you's", the arguments and making fun of each other. Those moments ran their course and it made me sad even just thinking about it. And to think it was all because of the Middle C note!

Anyway I also heard that playing musical instruments can be therapeutic because it allows one to be more expressive and also can help treat some mental illnesses such as Melancholia which is another word for depression :) This kind of activity refers to Music Therapy. So I guess that explains all the sadness and nostalgia xD P.S: I do not have Melancholia or whatever, its just a reference :D

On a happier note, today I went to Queens and watched Breaking Dawn with Farah, Joel and Penggy :D
