Nothing Is Personal

It's been a long time since I haven't stayed that late at ABS-CBN Global Ltd. I felt that I am a regular employee again of the company --- even though technically, I am really not.
My stay at Global for almost nine (9) years was such an "experience" in a way that there were "ups and downs" --- well, maybe because during that time as an employee, work for me was a personal matter. That's why I was defensive and combative (I guess) in everything I say and do. As much as possible, I wanted to be "off the wall" or "out of the box" in every concepts I pitched. But it disappointed me whenever the "approvers" of the concepts did not understand nor grasp whatever we presented. In the end, it will just end up in conventional and conservative treatment. However, I've noticed these days that they are now beginning to be daring and experimental with the concepts --- which is a good sign.
Through the years of working for ABS-CBN Global Ltd (or International before the spin off), I've learned so many things. It brought me here for what I am now --- a Freelance --- which is not an easy undertaking and yet challenging... and work now for me is just all work...nothing is personal.
