“Be careful what you wish for ‘cause you just might get it” I should’ve pondered upon this quote before everything happened… before my family died, before I was fired and before I wished that I could have time for myself to do my yoga, cause if I did… I wouldn’t get stuck on this island with this low-batt laptop. I just wanted my life to be peaceful and orderly! What’s wrong with that? I just wanted everything to be quiet so that I can do yoga. No cellphones so that I won’t be bothered by calls, no laptops so that I won’t be distracted by all the work I have to do, no cars so that there won’t be any wooshing noise every time I want to do it at the balcony, no gadgets!

It was possibly written around 5:30 in the evening as this was stored in the laptop’s memory. As her body was being scanned for autopsy, it was determined that she died because of an attack of an unknown beast during a mentally-calm state. It was assumed that after her laptop got discharged, she pursued doing yoga because of the scenery of the sunset and was attacked in the evening.
