Jeremie and Rhyss

My one of the most unforgettable moments and the toughest days of my life before a client’s wedding. Before the wedding of the couple, already felt sick on the 21st of December 2018, I had a cough and next was a mild fever. I had to sleep early so I can rest before traveling 5 hours going to Skips Beach Resort Daan-bantayan. It is the place where Rhyss book 2 nights for me and my team to stay.

When we finally arrive at the resort, my fever got worst, I wasn’t able to eat properly, and I was so weak. My head felt so heavy, I felt dizzy and been in bed for so long. I and Rhyss had a plan to meet on the 22nd at 3 pm, I emailed her that I got sick and can’t meet her for a meeting. I was depressed and continued sleeping. When I woke up at 4pm, in my mind I said, if I am to go with the flow of my sickness, I will get weaker and weaker. So I set my mind to be strong and telling my self that I can do it. I am also thankful to my friend, Jumz, who came with me as my assistant/apprentice, telling me that I will be okay.

After I woke up, I think of it properly and decided to meet Rhyss and Jeremie, then Jumz came with me to visit at Kandaya Resort. I thank God that he gave me a good time and weather during those times coz it did not rain and I was able to meet the couples. I need to meet them so I will know the flow of the program and also for the couples to fully trust me.

During the time that I have been in bed, I keep on talking to Jumz, how I felt about my condition. And he also keeps telling me that I will be alright. And good thing a strong wind came and helps me with my condition. Coz sea breeze can help improve the immune system and other things in our health.

Early morning on the day of the wedding, my wife called me on the phone, saying that my son is looking for me and crying. I can even hear him on my side. My wife asks me about my condition and I replied that I am feeling okay. I went out in the room facing sunrise and prayed to God that hoping I will be alright in the wedding. So after a couple of hours, my condition went up to 80% from 35%. It was fast and I felt really good. I was able to take lots of good photos for the couple. And the wedding same-day-edit was successful. except, from the trashy laptop the resort used. My presentation has no transition!!! T_T If only I know it was the laptop that has a problem, I could have stopped the presentation for a moment and use my laptop to present the SDE.

Thank’s to Doctor Allan, Rhyss’s uncle, for giving a wonderful positive vibe to everyone during the wedding day. He also gives advice to me on how to treat my condition carefully. And especially, thanks to Rhyss for hiring me as her photographer for the wedding. If only there is no SDE or have an editor, I could fully felt every moment of their wedding until the end. The wedding was very intimate and very special. Hoping for more wedding like this one.
