25 Things You Didn't Know About Jax
(Also the things I heart about him)

1. He loves his family so much, to the point of sacrificing his wants for their wants.

2. The cute little way he says "Pearl, buhok!" when he's sleeping beside me and my hair brushes his face.

3. He always has to have something to read while unloading.

4. His favorite color is pink. Even his bedroom wall is screaming pink!

5. He doesn't mind going around the mall with me, be it in the ladies', textiles, or kitchen appliances section - except when he's hungry or sleepy.

6. He has a soft, soft spot for street children.

7. His arm is literally made of steel since he broke it during a basketball game in highschool.

8. He's such a perfectionist. Get it right the first time. Period.

9. The glasses + the cute smirk showing his dimples + witty comments = Oh baby you're driving me crazy!

10. He knows what looks good on him without being too metrosexual - the exact length of his polo shirt sleeves, the proper cut of his pants, the right color of his shoes, or the best way to style his hair. Interestingly though, no matter how weird or flashy the look is, he can carry it well. (or am I just loving my own? Hehe.)

11. He's capable of making quick 2-minute showers... Yes you may join me in figuring out how the hell he does that with his 6'1" frame.

12. He can maneuver the steering wheel with his knees while eating inside the car. Talk about multi-tasking.

13. His scent is Victoria's Secret Garden Vanilla Lace.

14. Apparently, he solved the "a/c not cold enough" issue in Ford's J48 models. No re-occurrence for 2006. (Am I getting this info right, Jax?)

15. He's the most strict and conservative kuya (and boyfriend) in the whole wide world.

16. He has naturally silky-smooth hairless legs. No kidding!

17. He drinks with 2 straws, sipping soda using both at the same time.

18. One of his favorite snacks is ice cubes.

19. His get-up isn't complete without a belt.

20. He's probably the only person I know who could say "Wait, sir. I'm not yet done with my presentation." to the president of the company he's working for.

21. Unless the reason he's staring into space is because he's thinking about how something works or the next project he will be working on, you can't keep him in one place doing nothing longer than 10 minutes tops. Hyper-active kid.

22. Once he falls in love with a particular food, he becomes committed to it and wouldn't try anything else. Take, for example, my mouth-watering adobo... *wink!*

23. Spoiled. Spoiled. Spoiled.

24. He's a baby elephant reincarnate... how he always calls me to sit or lie really close to him. It has always been a rule that a part of our body should always touch. Absolutely no spaces in between.

25. He may have a lot of wacky, insane, nerdy ideas and comments about anything under the sun but deep down, he's really just a kind-hearted little boy, whose means of showing love is beyond words. Sometimes it's quite hard to tell, sometimes it requires a lot of trust, sometimes he doesn't come across the way he's been meaning to, sometimes he has a different way of expression (or lack thereof). But then again, isn't it amazing that only I could ever understand?
