He wrote, "It was early in the afternoon and work finished early that day. I don't remember where exactly I was headed after, but for sure though, I was in no particular hurry.

"Changing back to the clothes I wore on the way to the studio, taking my time gathering my backpack and gear, the photographer invites me back in, to sit and take a few test shots with the set up for the next photo shoot."

As Ryan was on his way out, he saw Judy Ann being made up at the far end of the studio.

"I stopped, waved, and then, I said, "HI!" The moment the word left my lips, our eyes locked in the mirror. SH@T, Di Nga pala Kami magkakilala!"

After realizing what just happened, Ryan ran to the nearest exit.
