Wicked Games (An Epistolary Novel)

053

I am busy person, and I should be working right now—I have tons of deliverables care of my project—but the more I am overwhelmed and swamped with work, the more I am unmotivated to work. Is it just me?

Dahil hindi ko na alam kung ano ang uunahing gaw'in, napapatulala na lang ako.

Since my brain has decided to shut down already at 4:30, I decided to just do something that will excite me. That said something is to stalk Julian Augustus.

I have already accepted that his socials won't be of help. In Tagalog, walang k'wenta. So, I have thought to peruse other paths, to wit: Linkedin, Jobstreet, and Strava, if he has it.

For sure he has a Linkedin account. . . or maybe not? I mean, he's so accomplished! Baka pala trabaho ang naghahanap sa kaniya at hindi siya ang naghahanap ng trabaho.

I bit my lip as I searched for his Linkedin account aka the professional version of Facebook.

"Huh. Everything that's here was the same as Adie's report. He has a lot of connections, mostly from high-profile people in STEM." I mumbled while browsing his feed, not surprised that it was as clean looking as him. Plain, too, if I might add.

There's also nothing much there—he's not someone who posts a lot. At least that was something consistent about him. Hindi siya palasalita both online and in reality.

I don't have a Strava account because I don't run. I have a different cardio and it does not involve any app. I tried downloading it to stalk him there. Gosh, the things I do for love! Charot!

Of course, it was just a joke! What's love? Who is she?

Anyways, may Strava kaya 'yon? Mukha naman siyang may active lifestyle.

At this point, I was just waiting for my time out. It'd be counterproductive to still work when nothing's going inside my brain anymore.

I checked my IG and saw that he hasn't responded to my follow request yet.

Grabeng magpa-yummy, ha!

I received a chat from Nicholas inviting me for a dinner and a drink, so I said yes. Saka ko muna siya iisipin. Magpapa-yummy din muna ako.
