@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...

Then the fun began in February, 2012...

GUESS WHAT EVERYONE...MAY INSTAGRAM SI KIM :-) FOLLOW NYO SYA "CHINITAPRINCESS"..GANDA NG PICS NYA :-)))

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.

                                                                                Feb 1 
what was I saying?................uhhmm.......(hindi ako nag crop :-))!! haha) 
            CTO

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.




CTO       Feb 4




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



                                     CTO - chinitaprincess THINKING of......   4mon
Thinking of whom?  Your guess is as good as mine.



CTO

Where can I find my other half? 




The call is getting more graphic...Xian, to whom is that 

addressed to?







     Feb. 13
dont't be the only "one", lets make it complete :-) the journey is happier when you're there...less than thr 


                                  
                                           

                                               CTO


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.


                                           CTO
                                   

Xian still on a Valentine mode a day after. Did she say 

"Yes", to your question, Xian?


     Feb. 15
Sana letter V nalang ako.........Para I'm always right next to U :-)



                                          CTO

Some say you are spelling L O V E with this.  However you do it , it still spells Love.  





CTO

The Prince  sends his heart and a Tree of Roses and the 
Princess acknowledges in Caps and a wow!!!! - Superlative

The Princess ceases to be afraid...





CTO

           CTO

                         CTO

    • chinitaprincess *again  3mon











        CTO

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
me and  :-))) 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.
