shutter this will be a really long post, so brace yourselves :) so, we had this plate for this subject where well go to Neo-Classical buildings around manila. We were asked to take photographs of the buildings then compile it in a magazine-like printed out journal. we started at the National Museum then Manila City Hall. we were walking the side street of intramuros when I started feeling tired. I thought it was just the scorching heat as it was noon. Then we went to the DoT and so on. Our last stop was the PGH. So we went there. We took photos and so on. I really felt something was off. My body seems to be unusually heavy and my back hurts like Ive been sitting hunched for days. I shook the thoughts away thinking its just fatigue. Ill just have to rest and itll be gone. and boy was I dead wrong. We went our for that trip Saturday. So back to school again. And I feel clouded, hot, (by hot i mean temperature hot) and dead beat tired. Even if I sleep off the entire Sunday, it just wasnt enough rest. Then came Tuesday or Wednesday night, someone posted on our group page if someone got sick after they went to PGH. Then boom! I got scared. I PMed her and said that I got sick. After talking to her I prayed. While I was praying, I find it difficult to keep my thoughts. Its like someone or something is preventing me to pray. My eyes were closed while I was praying. And when your eyes are closed, sometimes you can see lights prancing around, right? In my case though, those lights formed into a hazy kind of smoke. The lights were scattered at first then they gathered at the middle then it formed into a distorted jabowookee (is my spelling correct? Haha) mask coming at me. That was the time I knew 100% I didnt came home alone after going to that neo trip. I shit you not, that really happened. the day after, we (me & the one who posted on our group) were sitting at the LB corridor. She asked if I the top part of my head was hot. I touched it & it was. She gave me some rock salt to put it there. I obeyed her. Then I was really hunched over because I was praying. Suddenly she pointed her finger at my back asking if it hurts. I was shocked. I didnt told her where exactly in my back hurts. I trusted her then that she knows what shes doing. She said that Ive unintentionally lock something inside my camera. They didnt like that and now theyre teaching us a lesson, using me as a mean or tool. She said that something is on my back. Just imagine the shutter. In that movie, the girl was on his shoulder. In my case, its on my back. She advised me to pray and ask for forgiveness while deleting all the pictures I took that day. Thank heavens its only 200. I cant forget that day. My friends were even scared to touch me or be near me. I have dark circles under my eyes and my face just looks so hollow. Whenever I walk I feel like my head is floating while my back is too heavy. I cant forget that feeling. after I got home, I grabbed my camera & did what I have to. After the last picture, I feel normal again. I can sit again in a proper posture. I was relieved that I prayed again for gratitude. BTW, thanks for everyone who prayed for my well-being. :) 2 years passed and I still avoided dslr cameras. I was vain back then but after the incident, I seldom take pictures. Now I only take pictures of food, things or places for documentation & sometimes a few selfies. Im not that afraid of cameras but i no longer have the initiative to take pictures of everything like I did before. be careful where you point & shoot. Not all things are visible.
