September’s the busiest month for NAPOLCOM…I knew how hard it is where we do endless overtime but it was all fun after seeing one event end successfully.
Anyway, 2009 was the last time I went back to work. 2008 when I was on-leave for a year when I first went to Cambodia, come back 2 months before I gave birth…just right time and just perfect timing because one year leave ends, either back to work or resigned. So, at 7 months preggy with Isabelle I am back working with NaPolCom then I had my maternity leave starts 1st of May then went back working again July of 2009…kids and I still in Philippines. But September of 2009, after all the documents get done, we flew back to Phnom Penh, leaving CJ behind but between September 2009 to May 2010, Isabelle and I got a total of 15 international flights…believe it or not, Isabelle was less than a year old then, poor baby, but we need to do it for CJ. Finally, May 2010 when CJ was able to come with us! It was a happy thing that we are really thankful for, God’s been good to me, to us!
Last week at work before I went for another leave in September 2009 was a hectic one, full of activities because its National Crime Prevention Week which Crime Prevention and Coordination Service was in-charge and I was part of CPCS. By the way, filing leave that long was not easy-peasy…it was like I am resigning, I have to turn over everything, get clearance and wait for the approval of the Chairman which that time was Sec. Puno. I need to show a Authority to Travel Abroad every time I am going out of the Philippines.
Anyway here’s the last few days I spend with my workmates, I miss them…sharing few now, will share other activities, next time! hehehe! Its a day with Bantay, the official mascot of NCPW!
During the preparation for the Kick-off Ceremony…one of them was packing some snacks that we will give to those participants…
…and here are the finished products, all packed in a box, ready for distribution at the kick-off ceremony…
…that was attended by these people coming from different sectors of the society and the kick-off was held at the PNP Grounds…
All-in-all it was a great activity…that I will always be proud of being part of it! My NaPolCom experience will always be remembered, for 5 years of being a part of the family brought me to many places around the Philippines. I’ve never thought I will be seeing Aparri up North and down to Zamboaga del Sur in the south, I’ve been to number of places because of working with them and met number of great people from North to South, East to West. Plus the boss that I had then was all helpful, those people are great and I will be forever grateful for being part of CPCS.
September 2010 went I finally choose to let go of my position (its not a big one but yes, its permanent one) after being on-leave between 2008-2010…and its been more than a year now!
Oh, well,I just missed having friends around, hehehe! I miss my workmates, I miss working with them…but yeah, I am happy where I am right now. I know I am in the right place at the right time and God’s want me to be here!
