Happy and Sad

Greetings my fair ladies!
Hope y'all are staying lovely and happy these days specially with the Christmas season coming to town.
I know a lot us are busy with many activities juggling between work, school,home,motherhood,parenthood, sisterhood,wifehood,friend hood, neighbor hood and all the hoods... Haha!
Anyways, I just want you to laugh or smile a bit because as they say laughter is the best medicine. It will save you some Botox so exercise those smiling muscles of yours, up -down, left-right, small- small- wide! 😊😄😆
Okay okay that's enough! Energizer done! Let's be serious now.😁

So, my article for today are two stories about the experiences I had recently. One is kinda perplexing-astonishing and the other kinda happy-sad.

🌹🌹🌹
Am I a clone or Have I been cloned?
See that bewildered look with my two brows almost together!
Exactly we're my thoughts after having this experience.

Last week, I went to the market to buy some stocks for our food. While I was at the meat section selecting the meat, carefully examining the meat, even smelling the meat (do you do that too?)..I was interrupted by a poke on the side by an umbrella while hearing words from a woman excitedly saying, hey! When did you come home?! When did you arrive?
So I turned around bewildered and then the woman looked at me carefully and said, oh my! So sorry! I mistook you as my friend who's in the States. Who told me she will be coming home for the holidays so I thought it was you. You kinda resemble like her, your feature, your back and side view even the body most of all the hair. she has long curly brown hair like yours too. I just listened to her while smiling, so it was just an honest mistake. Even the owner of the meat stall listened to what was transpiring in front of her meat. Good thing there were no other shoppers it was just me. Then after saying how sorry she was that she poked me! She then left. The meat seller then said to me, well, You do look like a Balikbayan! What!😱

Literally translated as
“returning to country”

The term balikbayan refers to a Filipino returning to the Philippines, especially after having lived overseas for an extended period of time.

After I was at the meat section I went to the fish section. While the fish vendor was cleaning the telapya fish that I bought, a lady patted my shoulders and said, hey, when did you arrive, why you did not tell me that you are here already a lot of our friends are asking about you! Where you hiding from us?!
😱😱 Haha, she was behind me then she moved beside me while talking. When, she then realized that I was not her friend. But she was really adamant that I looked like her friend because of my hair and my stature. She then explained that her friend who works in Dubai looks almost exactly like me. She was really apologetic so I then replied it's okay it happened twice already now. I just had the same experience at the meat section.
I told her I must have been cloned! Because there's a lot of me walking around. Imagine twice already in the same area. What the!!! Haha

I hurriedly finished grabbing other stuff and headed home because the incident might become thrice, now there is definitely some glitch going on!! Haha

Have you had this experience too. Twice in the same day?! Kinda weird.

My second experience just happened today. Just before lunch time while I was prepping our food, mine and hubby's. While the stove was still frying the fish, I was surfing my phone looking for a song that I wish to be my entry for this week in the hive open mic challenge with the theme Magic.
I was happily singing some choice songs like, A whole new world from Aladdin because there's kinda Magic in there, you know the carpet ride!
That's why I checked it out looking for the karaoke version. Then looked for another and then another, browsing, browsing which led me to the Carpenter's then just below it was a clip from the movie Flash dance, Irene Cara whom I loved so much. So now my mind was off the theme for the hive open mic, it led me back to the time when I was young dancing and dancing to the song What a Feeling. My favorite song and movie of all time.

I bet you are also familiar with this blockbuster movie as well. Are you fans of Irene Cara too? Who would forget this scene done by the lead actress
Ms. Jennifer Beals right?! This is her final audition.
She danced beautifully and was accepted to the very prestigious dance school.

I remembered, I think I was nine or ten when I first seen it and oh my! I always listened to it, danced to the music, even showed it to my classmates and told them I want to be a dancer just like her. During our school program I even volunteered to dance and this was my song. I was literally in love with the song ....haha my childish dream.

While dancing to the music again, I browsed a little after watching the clips of the movie Flash Dance. I saw a TikTok saying this.....

Oh my! Really?! Is this true? I searched for it because it might be another prank just like Simon Cowell's and indeed it is true. she passed away three days ago, November 25th. Upon learning that it was true, I cried, yah really I had tears in my eyes. My happiness while dancing to her song was replaced with sadness. She was sixty three.
Imagine the vibration that I got. For a moment I was happily singing and dancing, reminiscing about the song then suddenly saw a TikTok that she died. I then left my phone because I was preparing our table so we can have our lunch already and when I came back, when I opened my phone this is what's on my screen....

Really?! A candle?! I then said maybe I got hold of Ms. Irene Cara's soul vibration because she is now back to become an energy a pure positive energy maybe because I was a fan of hers that she even reached out to me.
Wow! Really mind blowing because the other day our topic here is about "Death".

oOoOO! Spooky!
Anyways, I know she is at peace now with God. She will be doing some endless Flash Dance's there in the heavens. I bet my grandma will be present as well for she loved this movie too.

Lyrics to What A Feeling
(Source: Wikipedia)
First, when there's nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind

All alone, I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone

Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

What a feeling
Being's believin'
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life

Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash, it takes hold of my heart.

Let's all take our passions and make it happen! Just believe in yourself. Always striving towards your dreams and never let the high tides pull you down.

You are strong! You are a child of the Universe, a daughter of the most high and you are loved. Just like these beautiful sunflowers.
