Second Half: Work, MadHouse & Life
Second half of my 2011 has been the best roller coaster ride. Up, down, upside down, endless circular motion of happiness and sadness.
I spent most of my second half working my ass of producing our pilot episode and the rest of Ako Ang Simula Season1. Everything was worth it though. Back in college, I remember always getting away with everything I want. Skip classes, delay deadlines and stuff. But in ABS-CBN, deadlines are deadlines, or else you’ll either get no salary or prepare for a ‘sabon’ session. Haha! Our episodes air every saturday, and there is no way we can’t air an episode. At work I’ve experience how to push myself to the limits just so we could produce an episode. I learned to value DEADLINES!
Last part of 2011 was a bit weird. My closest friends stopped talking to me. For some reason, they’ve hated me, or at least I’ve assumed that they hate me. Or simply they’ve been indifferent because they never really cared anymore. Then followed one of my best friends started ignoring me. I know why and I don’t know what to do. For both situations, I’ve been down on my knees, but I got no response. It hurts a lot. But then I have no choice but to go on with my life. I need to pick-up myself and be happy again, even if it means without them, after all they could be happy without me as well. And then again, I have to remind myself: People walk in and out for your life, and you’re in no way have the control over them. Some people out-grow friendships, a harsh fact. But you got no choice but to accept it.
Last quarter of 2011 was packed! October, we launched MADHOUSE-MANILA in partnership with Vince and Mond and Jose Cuervo Tequilla. FlightSexy 2011 happened at KYSS! It was a huge success with over 300 attendees.
This was followed by more prod jobs and event coverages. Last quarter of 2011 was for MADHOUSE-MANILA! And this december we have been conceptualizing and working our asses off to produce our new baby ;) (Wait of it this 2012!) Kudos to the hardworking creative team of MadHouse-Manila!! We’ll own 2012!! It’s ours! Haha!
Spare me the story for the ‘love’ part. I wanna keep it to myself :)
2011 has been good to me, over-all. As usual, there are ups and downs, but what the hell, that’s life! And what is a life without sufferings and sadness. I am somewhat thankful for these downers, they made me appreciate more the happy days! :)
