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…
