A butterfly in the cocoon struggles with all its might to break through the obstacle that is placed in its way. There is no other easy way out. So should we learn from it. Fighting with all our might and surviving through all ordeals.

Yesterday was a dark day for many. I received news that some of my ex-classmates have retained. And I feel the pain for them for many were my good friends. I still can't believe that they are going to retain. But the strength that they have shown was amazing. If it were me, I think I'll already be at home gaming away. OOPS.

Anyway, I finally got about washing my trumpet today. I removed the handguard and was dismayed by the tarnish of the valve casings. Going ahead with the washing, I tarried for about an hour and was finally done. And my trumpet is now sparkling clean! Save the scratches and the tarnish marks and some stubborn stains. However, my slides aren't as smooth as it used to feel.
