I had the time of my life

Ever had the feeling while watching an old movie, hearing an old song, coming across an old photo of yours and seeing the way you were dressed of O MY GOD how did i like this movie, how come i listened to this song again and again or Gee am i soo embarressed, what was i thinking of wearing this crappy T.shirt
Fact is we encounter this time and time again and it only makes sense.
At the time these things were trendy and very much "IN" , now they only seem ridicules.
As much as this is true this was completely not the case with me yesterday while watching Dirty Dancing.
To start with, i would classify this movie as a shallow teenage movie nothing more nothing less.
It contains some great songs and dances but then again that's it.
No moral to convey ...nothing.
But don't get me wrong i love this movie.
Yesterday while watching it for the 1st time after what must be like 15 years i expected to get bored, but to my astonishment i was in cloud nine.
During the one and a half hour censored version shown on Dubai One, i got this heartmelting feeling.
Was watching with a dreamy smile on my face.
I still found Patrick Swayze attractive and i still remember the 1st time i watched this movie.
And though early symptoms of Alzheimer are starting to mess up with my memory, the memories of this day are still engraved in my mind.
It was on Christmas some many years back. We were on vacation and Ines managed to get an uncut version from Germany.
For a dozen of teenage girls, the movie was dazzling and the love story was everything we wanted. Patrick Swayze was our teenage dream and many days were spent fantacizing about him, the way he danced, the way he held the what's her name ....
"Nobody puts my baby in a corner"was a favourite quote as silly as it seems right now.
But what brought the heartmelting feeling and the silly smile was not the movie it was rather memories of that christmas day.
It was the gathering, the innocent giggles, the memory of Randa's new white pullover that caught fire from the candle in the christmas tree and most of all the hopes inside us of living such a story.
We really had the time of our life.
Thank you DSB and thank you Dubai One for bringing all these lovely memories and thank you girls for giving me some nice stuff to remember.
