I just can’t let go believing that one of my favorite actors passed away a few days ago. Patrick Swayze was the most versatile actor I’ve had ever known in terms of dancing, singing and acting. The first film of him I saw was the Ghost which he starred with Demi Moore. Darn, I watched that movie twice when I was in college. Although the Dirty Dancing was his breakthrough film with Jennifer Grey which was actually shown three years before the Ghost. I don’t remember if the Dirty Dancing was shown in Davao, but I saw it on tv a few years back here. It has become a classic film of all time and many would love to watch it over and over. As a matter of fact, the said film was again shown here last Friday in memory of Patrick Swayze. And I couldn’t help but watched it again. I had mixed emotions in front of the tv because this time the actor was gone forever. Hubby and I incidentally bought a dvd film of Rowan Atkinson titled Keeping Mum and Patrick played a golf trainer in the film.
The video above was one of the soundtrack of the film, Dirty Dancing, which he sang himself. I happened to hear the song on the radio when I had my morning alarm set to radio instead of the usual toot-toot signal. And a few days ago, I heard the dj’s mentioned his name just when I gained consciousness back from deep slumber. Then they played She’s Like The Wind. I had no idea that Patrick Swayze died the day before. It was only when I bloghopped and read Mr. Spiff mentioned the demise of the prominent actor after battling pancreatic cancer for more than a year. So sad indeed. He died young, but although he did, he had entertained us with his versatility and that’s enough memories to remember him forever. May he rest in peace…
I know how you feel because I am also a fan of him.

Huhuu! I still can’t believe he’s gone.
Yes, it’s really a loss for him to go so soon. I was just beginning to enjoy his work with The Beast TV series and I guess I won’t be seeing a second season.
RIP Patrick.

Too sad to hear that. I’ve heard about his TV series when he was just diagnosed with cancer. He was a tough guy.
I just know that Patrick Swayze already dead. Hope all the best for him in heaven.

Me, too. May he rest in peace in heaven.
Huh… i didnt heard about this until now. It was a great actor and i am very unhappy to hear this bad news. He had some excelent movies…:(
Oh, I hope I didn’t make you cry. But you’re not alone feeling sad now.
It sound very sorrow, when you like someone and suddenly he went far away from you, very shocking but what can we do against the will of God.
Yes, it is, even if it’s hard for us to believe. And must be the will of God to relieve him from his pain.
@Marlene– I had seen that you have given link love to some business website. But not to me, Have I say some thing wrong. I apologies if it is.
No, I haven’t yet. But of course I will include you. I don’t have much time to stay online these days.
I feel sad because I like him he was a good actor. Dirty dancing made me kilig to the bones and ghost di ba and there was a tv serie I think North and South.
May he rest in peace naunahan lang nya tayo.
Ay, fan ka rin pala niya. Dirty Dancing has been showing on tv here many times even when he was still alive. I think the Swedish love that film. Oh, the tv serie must be “The Beast”.
