1. His name Raphael was suggested by his Ninang Kris Aquino after i told her the result of my ultra-sound. St. Raphael happened to be my guardian angel too based on my birthdate, so i gave it a go! His dadu Ronald thought of the name Ronan. So that makes all of our names beginning with letter R. In school, he is Ronan as well as to most of his ninongs/ninangs. In the house we call him Raph.
2. He's not a meat-eater, neither pork nor beef, that's why he's a little bit on the thin side. But contrary to most kids, he eats vegetables and fish. Healthy di ba? He eats chicken too, but mostly just the crunchy skin part. He doesn't eat egg either. But as long as he drinks his milk three times a day, and he eats veggies, fish, rice and fruits, i'm okay with that! He's not sickly anyway and his pedia said his weight is pretty much okay. Although i would want him to grow a little bit bigger.
3. You can't touch his McDo Chicken, he has to eat it by himself. You can't even cut it into pieces or else!
4. He loves fruits- apples and grapes (minus the skin), bananas and pineapples. He also loves yogurt, cereals (without milk-he has to drink it from the glass), quaker oats, macaroni & cheese and his fave Taco Bell's cheese quesadilla.
5. He has a favorite pillow given by his Tita Tess before she left for Texas- a tazmanian devil which Raph can't sleep without. It was chaotic when we didn't bring it in our HK trip last year. We learned our lesson so in our trip to
6. He has a collection of hotwheels cars. And he knows where we bought them or who gave which. He's very interested in cars in general. He can spot expensive luxury cars on the road. His favorite movie is Cars which he repeatedly watches on DVD. He has already completed his collection of Ferrari car models from Shell.
7. He is soo toilet-trained that one time, he woke up at 3am and went to the bathroom by himself.
8. He likes to sing. He was already singing at age 2, i mean not anymore the usual nursery rhymes. His first songs were Because of You and Ikaw ang Lahat Sa Akin, the latter he would usually sing to his grandma. He even sang that song while mom was being laid to rest at the cemetery.
9. He likes cats, actually kittens. He doesn't want them to grow big. He's not so fond of dogs. He's scared of the big ones.
10. He has a photographic memory especially with road directions. He knows when i change routes when driving, he can even instruct or relay to dad whenever i get to discover a shortcut or alternate route.
11. His first crushy was Sofia, his favorite classmate in Nursery 1(last year). My heart broke when

12. Now he has this intense liking for Kim Chiu. I say intense hehe because he blushes and gets tongue-tied whenever he gets to see Kim in person, parang nato-torpe. He would even ask me, once in a while, to play Kim's album in the car on our way to school. They sometimes communicate on the phone. Kim said he's her boyfriend. That gave him a high!
awkward smile from raph kasi nate-tense sa presence ni kim
13. Raph never baby-talked. He was never bulol. Maybe because even as a kid, we talked to him like we're talking to an adult. He never thumb-sucked either.
14. Like any other kids, he is fond of Superman, his dadu's liking for Superman rubbed off on him. He got to watch all the Superman movies via his dad's DVD collection. He could tell which one is Superman 2 or 3, etc. Of course, he also likes Spiderman, Batman, Power Rangers...and Thomas & Friends trains.
15. He was awarded Outstanding Student last March. Gosh ganon pala feeling pag nagsabit ng medal sa anak! We're just so proud! This early his grades are all Highly Satisfactory. Great honey! Keep up the good work!
17. He loves the water...at least he swims unlike me (i'm not a swimmer, again, i forgot to mention that in my own list).
18. If you'll ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he'd say he wants to be a pilot and a singer (Whoa! a singing pilot huh!)
19. He said he wants to take taekwondo and art classes next summer. He got his interest in taekwondo from his cousins Carlo & Felix who have already won golds in various competitions. Last summer, he had swimming lessons and he got to learn and enjoy indeed!
20. He's got wit and a good sense of humor. He never fails to make me and dad laugh everyday.
