@XianLimm and @Chinitaprincess on...

 December 2010, Instagram had one million registered users. In June 2011 Instagram announced it had five million users^[ and it passed ten million in September of the same year. In April 2012, it was announced that over 30 million accounts were set up on Instagram.^{[28] -- Wikipedia.}  


 "Instagram is a fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone, then choose a filter to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever. We're building Instagram to allow you to experience moments in your friends' lives through pictures as they happen. We imagine a world more connected through photos."

Stanford graduates Systrom and Krieger developed this combination  "instant photo and telegram' on the Iphone and Android platforms and launched it on October, 2010.  In less than two years or in April, 2012, Facebook bought Instagram from them  for  one billion dollars  plus Facebook shares. To allay fears of Instagram users, Systrom and Krieger assured them that they will remain and  together with Facebook continue  to upgrade Instagram.

Before the Instagram there was "You"...Valentine in December...

The ever private Kim broke surface. She became one of 30 million accounts along with Xian spewing out 5 million photos daily into Instagram.  

What changed Kim's mind who resisted Twitter for the longest time?  The answer is not clear; what is clear to us is that Kim has gone public and we can now view her or her thoughts daily if we wish to.

Kim and Xian's Instagram accounts became a way for us fans and nonfans  to  take a sneak peek into what remains of their goldfish bowl existence that we still have not uncovered; the paparazzi in us that await the latest on the greatest.

                                                   

Kim's first shared photo was of herself introducing Lagunara, the horse she rides when she feels the need to de-stress.

Second one was  her own picture with an intriguing caption  which Xian disputed. Banter between the two on Instagram  amused the fans.

Following was Xian's photo response to Kim's dare to in turn post a cropped photo to which Xian did not take.

There was a lull in the comments in succeeding photos. 

Then Xian sent this photo of his note addressed to someone 

who everyone somehow had an idea who.

The pining for the other on Instagram went a week apart.

                                     CTO - chinitaprincess THINKING of......   4mon

Xian responding to a photo of a single petal posted by Kim 

labelled "One".  I saw it, now I no longer see it.  Could it be 

the "One" has now become "complete" ?  Just asking.

xianlimm wow ang ganda naman dyan...kelan balik mo? :-)  2w

Now the longing sounds more acute.

From "You"

                        CTO

                       The Carpenters  "You"

to "So it's You"  seemed to be the signal  for 

Kim and Xian to appear on each other's Instagram 

accounts.  

A number of allusions but no face...faceless on each other's   

Instagram until...

                       CTO      May 26, 2012

XIAN LIM ‏@XianLimm

me and @chinitaprincess :-))) less than three :-)  

                                                        CTO

chinitaprincess done for the show!!! maraming salamat mga kapamilya!!! (soo lucky to meet APL and antonette taus in person)!!#fan hehe take care everyone!! super thanks ulit!!   5d

And Xian countered with  his comment to this photo:

xianlimm for me, isa lang ang taong lucky ako to meet... :-))  4d  

I wonder, is the veil of shyness now pierced?

Will we be seeing more photos of Kim and Xian in each 

other's Instagram accounts?  I have no answer.  I guess, 

they move as they are moved. No hidden meanings.

It appears, Xian is not done yet. There are still a number of 

photos to be posted; a number of comments to be made 

and a number of songs to be sung.

What is strong is Xian's resolve to make Kim happy, to make

her feel special.

For us, their fans, we await the day when Kim returns the

gesture and our journey as fans as Xian's own would be

happier and more complete.  

I feel that day is not too long in coming.
