Today I start recording the variety show, this is making me nervous. Join a program without script and be seen by everyone. Shooting movies is much simpler, I just have to pretend to be someone and make the audience believe, but showing the real me scares me, I don't know what people will think.

But I accepted to participate to try to overcome my shyness with strangers, as this makes my work difficult. Also being a bit antisocial, some people see me as arrogant, I want to demonstrate that I am an ordinary person.

I have to spend about a month at the house of actress Shayla and her husband Adam Ramos, a singer. After the wedding Shayla and Adam moved to a heavenly place, they live in a beautiful beach house. Their purpose is to live peacefully without the hustle and bustle of the city.

I still have to finish packing. I go to my closet, deciding what to take is not easy, when I'm at home I usually dress very casually, but when I have to appear on TV, I usually wear whatever my stylist chooses. I decide to take casual pieces, after all being natural is what I want to demonstrate.

After leaving all the luggage ready, I'll get ready, just an hour left for my manager to arrive, I have this little defect of leaving the packaging for last minute.

I hear the intercom ring, and I'll open the door. "Fabio, come in. I'm almost ready, can you check my bag? I don't know if I've put in everything I'll need." He walks to my room with me, unlike many famous ones, I chose to live in a small apartment. I find it wasteful to have a lot of space when only I live here. So my apartment only has a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, I use one of the bedrooms as a closet.

Alright, are you nervous about the recordings?" "Yes, I'm afraid people will think badly of me. You know how hard I have to interact with strangers, even as an actress for over 15 years." "Ivy, you are one of the best actresses in the country, have even won awards abroad, so people treat you differently, they see you as a kind of model, coming from an ordinary family, without any media contact and coming to be an actress with her national and international recognition, is an admirable fact. "

I smile at him, Fabio, he's an amazing human being, working with me from the beginning of my career. I started working at age 12, participated in the commercial for an ice cream shop in my city, when Fabio saw me contacted my parents and so I went to work in his company. Now at the age of 29, I am extremely grateful to him, for in the most difficult and dark moments Fabio has always been by my side.

Ivy, it's all ok with your luggage. The show people have some cameras waiting at the airport, but they'll shoot from afar, and don't forget to take that camera they gave you, you need to make some videos, okay?"

"I know, I've done some while packing and training the recipes I'll make during the program." "Hey, do you think Shayla and Adam will be fine with me helping?"

At this point Fabio gives me that look, NO kidding, "Anyone in their right mind would be thrilled to spend time with the amazing actress Ivy Sloan." I laugh at his drama, "Okay, come on, sir, I don't want to miss my flight."
