Here's what the words from those books combined with a sip of warm coffee feels like.

To summarize everything happened in my life, it’s going just alright. It doesn’t mean things went the way I wanted it to be, but I handled the situations pretty well. I got to spend my time with family and friends. Might be not officially a couple just yet, but I have someone to welcome me home every single night. A good reliable person that I can share thoughts and feelings.
You know, life is always full of surprises. Mom let us to have cats because we were so lonely during pandemics, eventually you’re going to be a good cat butler. We celebrated a lot of birthdays together.
The journey is not going to be that easy. You will find the moment when your world collapsed and you find a way through roads in another countries, so you’ll feel the love and alive again.
When you thought we didn’t get taller, bro, we will gain another 3 centimeters. But, you will be more busy. You know, I think you need to study harder. Your friends, surprisingly, excited when you talk about your knowledge. They will ask things to you. Don’t cry when you feel stressed out, the world is a big place to learn something new.
Meet me in 5 years and I hope you’ll be proud of what you’ve become. Cheers to another five, or fifty years even.

Morning has come. The residents of Rohisville wake up to Rex getting another secret admirer on Retrospring. The 10 of them start accusing each other. Some of them start acting suspicious by being so defensive when uttering their alibis. Vote for the one you think is Rex’s secret admirer!

Hey Rex! Do you happen to prefer someone who shares your taste in things, or someone who definitely has the opposite taste?
Oh nice one. I think both work just fine for me. It will be a lot more convenient if the person happened to know at least basic stuff about my interest; it will at least skip the “introducing” part.
I also don’t mind if they have opposite taste, just like you mentioned. The important thing to understand here is the willingness to know, learn, and understand. From my side, I don’t mind having to go further just to learn things I didn’t know before.

Hi, Rexie. Happy to know lil details about you— and as always, thank you for kindly sharing with me! We do and relook back differently and I love hearing about yours. I heard Juwita Malam before and not sure why but the song is quite soothing. How about your favourite movie genre then? Kayaknya kamu juga suka nonton film perang atau yang punya latar sejarah?
Interesting question, I grew up watching historical/war movies under my dad’s influence. I think it became the main reason of my long list of watched films in that genre.
Other than that I also watch horror and documentaries. Even though sometimes I force-close my device whenever my faint heart can’t stand the tense. I watch animation movies too whenever life feels too complicated.

That is so sweet of you, and I'm grateful for such gesture! It is quite fascinating how both of the story and preference began— karena nggak semua yang dibiasakan dari kecil itu bakal tumbuh jadi sesuatu yang akan kamu suka nantinya. But I agree that those songs will be a medicine whenever you feel homesick! You have a very distinctive yet enticing taste to begin with, and I'm truly happy to know this side of you. Thank you for the recommendation too, Rexie, because I just added that song inside one of my private playlist hehe.
I think it’s just my own way to reminisce about the old times when my granddad was around. It’s nice to think about moments when we were together. But anyway, as always, the pleasure is mine to share things that I love. You can check another songs like Gambang Semarang or Juwita Malam which are also my favorites.

(Pardon me because I'm not sure how to reply the last interaction) The artist we listen on daily might not be exactly the same, but I'm thoroughly fascinated to see how ranged your taste is! It's quite comprehensive and if you don't mind me asking, how do you grow interested with jazz and bossa nova? Also, any songs do you want people to listen more often? Lastly, thank you for replying to my queries. X
You can actually interact from any side you want to talk more, no pressure here. The answer to your first question, my granddad used to listen to jazz a lot, especially during tea time. It eventually became a habitual routine for me. The almost similar tempo led me to bossa nova. For the second answer, I will attach the song link on my X account below this reply. The pleasure is always mine, sender.

kesibukannya apa aja bulan ini?
Selain my regular routine, I had a lot of projects! I helped a research and currently working on another one. Lagi banyak exams juga nih, makanya sering sliweran kalau malam aja, post-study session. Akhir-akhir ini juga lebih intens work out, maybe it is the main reason I managed to stay fit compared to last month.

Hello Rex, pardon me for stopping by with some queries as i felt like our preferences might be aligned in some way. May i know your genre preferences in music and some artists that you fancy?
Hi there, I'm glad if we our music preferences are quite similar. Talking about genre preferences, I honestly listen to almost everything ranging from bossa nova, jazz, indie rock, pop, hip-hop, and even keroncong and langgam.
For the artists, it's really based on what kind of feeling you want to get from the music. The artists to listen on daily are Arctic Monkeys, Kendrick, Frank Sinatra/Chet Baker, and Stan Getz.
Honestly, I could go further but it will be a messy essay here.
