Ika-6 Na Utos actress Rich Asuncion has started a new life in Australia with her husband, rugby player Benjamin Mudie and daughter Bela Brie.

She also shared that after months of job hunting in Australia, she finally had the opportunity to work there as a waitress.

Rich is really eager to start anew as she plans to juggle both work and studies in the foreign land.

“Dahil di na ko ako nagpaka-choosy, sinubukan ko na ang pagwi-waitress. Casual job at a restaurant. Nu'ng una nahirapan ako tanggapin pero na-realize ko ngayon, ano naman ang masama du'n?

“Wala akong karapatan mag-inarte kasi nabigyan ako panibagong chance to start anew.

“Sa ngayon ay tanggap ko na at masaya na 'ko sa bago kong buhay kasama ang aking pamilya. Nakapag-enrol na rin ako to continue my studies and last week, I was offered a full-time job at a Daycare where I can work closely with Bela,” she shared.

Long post ahead! ---------------------------------------- Simulan natin ang post na ito nang masaya. Napakasaya ko ngayong araw dahil natanggap ko na ang una kong sweldo...at sa wakas ay di na ako nalulugmok sa lungkot. Malaking bagay to dahil sa panahon ngayon ang hirap humanap ng dahilan para sumaya. Lalo pa at nag-adjust palang ako dito sa Australia. Tagal ko rin naghanap ng work. Kailangan mo yun dito dahil pag sa bahay ka lang mas lalo kang malulungkot. Marami naman kasing opportunities dito basta di ka lang mapili. So yun na nga, dahil di na ko ako nagpaka-choosy😂 sinubukan ko na ang pag wi-waitress. Casual job at a restaurant. Nung una nahirapan ako tanggapin pero narealize ko ngayon, ano naman ang masama dun. Part pa rin naman sya ng Tourism course na kinuha ko sa UP. At wala akong karapatan maginarte kasi nabigyan ako panibagong chance to start anew . My point here is, I know most of us will need to adjust to a new/different life after this pandemic. And that's not all that bad. To be able to survive through this is already a blessing. As hard as it may seem, look for the silver lining. Hold on and say I am still a champion. Be grateful because some people have lost more than you already have. Sa ngayon ay tanggap ko na at masaya na ko sa bago kong buhay kasama ang aking pamilya. 😊Nakapag-enrol na rin ako to continue my studies and last week, I was offered a full-time job at a Daycare where I can work closely with Bela. Life is indeed a journey full of highs and lows but you should never stop moving and you always keep moving forwards. P.S. Ben and I have also just put down a reservation for our future home here in Australia. What a blessing!🏡

Netizens praised the actress for her humility and perseverance and have expressed their messages of support for her.

Of course, Benjamin, who has seen all of Rich's hard work, is proud of his resilient wife.

“Taking care of Bela is already a tough job. But picking up your life and starting anew, into the unknown, is a completely new challenge on its own.

“Congrats, pangarap ko. You've been resilient and tenacious at the same time. Just going to enjoy the journey. #thenewnormal,” he said.

But according to the actress, she did not leave showbiz for good and just "making a life out here [in Australia] during these uncertain times."

We now have a toddler and I can't help but get sentimental looking back through these photos. 😌 @benjmudie and I are lucky to have our families, friends especially godparents help and guide us in raising our child. Although we miss Bela being a little baby, we are definitely proud of her every milestone. 💓#belabrie #familyof3
