I'm so happy! When my agent called me to tell me I had this role without having to audition everything started to make sense again. I felt I had finally been given the opportunity to start building my career here. This is such a small step to get where I wanna be someday, but it's tremendously important. I'm playing a guest role, my character is not even important to the story, but the fact that I'm gonna be on set, surrounded by the Portuguese Entertainment industry's big names for a few days is a pretty big deal. I just have to do my best and believe they will wanna work with me again. I wish everything starts happening from now on the way I had planned. I only need some luck. And I deserve it.

The bad news is I'm really sick right now. My body couldn't take it anymore. The rehearsals here in Póvoa de Lanhoso have been physically exhausting and mentally confusing and we don't have time to rest or organize our ideas. As soon as we finish rehearsals (always after 11 PM) we usually feel like going out, talking, drinking... we desperately need to have some fun. But all of that together gets terribly tiring. And because of the short that I was shooting and the soap opera that I'm gonna shoot I had to go to Lisbon twice last weekend, so in three days I spent at least ten hours driving and around ten more hours in trains. My body is truly mad at me. Gotta take good care of it now and still give my best at rehearsals and be able to drive to Lisbon every week to shoot.
