To the professional world, I am Mary Agatha S. Austriaco-Aviso, RMT, RN. I have two degrees, passed two board exams, have two professional licenses and work in call center. How ironic and anti-climactic. The most number of times I have donned a laboratory coat or nursing scrubs was around 5 times a month for a year at most. All that is going to change. I plan to “moonlight” in a dialysis center or train for half a day every week starting June. I am just finalizing my schedule around my kids and Edil. And maybe two to three months after, Im going to wearing nursing scrubs at least four times a week? I certainly hope so.

I am one of those people who work for the money. I am not ashamed to admit that. I have worked hard for four years and a half, put myself through school, a one year separation, a wonderful reconciliation, a dream wedding, a very huge pregnancy, 10 months of breastfeeding, and still working, hard. Many people have (Im sure) wondered where Edil was in all of these. Is he doing his share? Why does she need to work so hard? He, during those times, was, literally, the man of the house. I have not regretted having him at home for two years (on and off) bonding with Matthew. Matthew needed to establish a foundation with his Dad, albeit four years late.

I really really really pray that this is it, the break we have all been waiting and wishing for. Please keep your fingers crossed for me. (Your toes, as well!)
