Nhu Loan's Diary

(Nhu Loan's diary)Day 1
It's been several days (I don't know exactly how many) since we were stranded on this island. Thank God everyone was safe and sound--except for the pilot who is missing. Still, we were lucky that the jet went down near the coast of this island or else we would have drowned in the ocean. Yesterday we swam out to the jet to find anything that can still be use. Anything would be good now, since we're stuck on an island with no sight of any human life and there are nothing but ocean and ocean that surrounds the place. My life and career is once again put on hold. If it wasn't for this, I'll be in Korea by now--should have just taken the regular air planes rather than renting a private jet :( I wonder what food Tuyet and Quang are bringing back. I'm hungry........
Love,
Nhu Loan

(Minh Tuyet & Luong Tung Quang)
Luong Tung Quang: Move your head!
Minh Tuyet: No, why don't you?
Luong Tung Quang: He's gonna run away!
Minh Tuyet: How do you know it's a he?
Luong Tung Quang: IT'S JUST A CRAB WHO CARES!
The crab shifted its eyes toward the two strangers hovering over him. Sensing danger, the crab immediately crawled away as fast as he can and into a hole.
Minh Tuyet: LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID!
Luong Tung Quang: Me? You should have let me catch him!
Minh Tuyet: Now what do we do?
The two began heading back and started thinking of excuses to explain why they came back empty handed.
"The crab was running away and Quang threw a huge rock at it, so it ended up smashing the poor crab into pieces," Minh Tuyet thought to herself.
"Tuyet wanted the crab all to herself and she said that if she can't have it all then no one is having it" would be LTQ's excuse. Too deep in his thoughts, LTQ stepped on something painfully. Seeing him hoping on one foot while rubbing the wounded one, Minh Tuyet laughed in amusement until she saw what he had stepped on.
"OYSTERS!" She exclaimed in excitement.
"Damn! I was hoping for crawfish" LTQ complained as Minh Tuyet ignored him and went into the water to gather them.

(Bang Kieu)
"Geez, Loan! What are you doing? We...well, I can use some help!" Bang Kieu said as he realized that he was the only one working. LTQ and Minh Tuyet were no where to be seen.
"Okay, okay! I'm coming." Nhu Loan replied and quickly hide her notebook under the leaves that covered the ground of the cave that were now their shelter. "What do you need me to do?"
"Bring these boxes inside. The waves probably brought them in from the jet." Bang Kieu pointed at the big wooden boxes lying on the ground around him.
"What are they?" Nhu Loan asked, picking them up. They were a lot lighter than they looks.
"I don't know. We'll find out later...if I can figure out a way to open it. There are two more out there."
"So where's Minh Tuyet and Luong Tung Quang?
"Ah I don't know, I sent them to look for food"
"You actually trust them?" (laughs)
"Well I can't leave Beckham behind"
"I guess..." Nhu Loan said and sat down again. It didn't take her long to move all the boxes inside. She searched for the notebook and resumed writing.

(Nhu Loan's Diary)
It all happened so fast. They're all a blur now. First, it was the kidnapping incident, and then Minh Tuyet getting shot by a drunken man (in the most unlikliest of all places--her butt!!), and now the plane crash. What more unfortunate events can continue to happen? It's like ever since I came to Mason City, there was never a day to rest. Something always happen. I wonder when we can get off this island. Marrie must be worried--possibly for her show rather than us--so she'll be sending people to look for us. But how? It's so hopeless. We don't even know where we are.
Let's put those scary thoughts away for now....
