My Life in a Cube

Since I was a kid I've always wanted to work for a big TV company. I remember how glued I am in watching all the shows on TV (except for news and sports). After graduation I was lucky to get accepted. Frankly speaking I just submitted my resume not really eyeing for any job position.

My top of mind was just to get in that network, earn and opportunities will just present itself. I was assigned at the news department as a production assistant (PA) and as a feeds coordinator. PA in a sense that I have to deliver scripts to the editing and control room. Feeds coordinator meantime to inform the editing of new videos coming in our system. I was satisfied then. But then, when my other colleagues began moving up with their careers, I started to ponder what I want in life. My friends were given the chance to write news items, I also forced myself to learn. I admit writing isn't my forte and grammar isn't my best friend but I don't want to be stuck in that path. I have no better words to explain how it was hard for me.

A few months after, I was given an additional show falling under the Current Affairs Department. Felt good because I'll be working for a veteran news anchor. I was happy because I am learning alot, meeting new people, getting acquainted with almost all the politicians from all over the country. However after more than 1 year I had to resign as my Executive Producer was my biggest source of stress. Then another show was offered. It was a big surprise because I'll be working for Madamme--the one and only madamme. I also learned from her show, most especially in convincing guests, getting attuned with the latest news updates and more. And then she got married. So she had to bid farewell for a while.

Then my life even become more topsy turvy!
