The year Kim Chiu's personal life came crashing down with the prospect of extending to her professional career was also the year she was chosen by Yes Magazine the Most Beautiful of 100 beautiful stars across the Philippine-based television-movie networks. The year was 2010. When Kim was at her lowest and feeling her ugliest, the showbiz world around her disagreed.

In 2010 Xian Lim was in a career limbo, neither here nor there. Regal Film, TV 5, GMA, ABS got him for good roles which somehow did not quite create a ripple among the movie-going or TV-watching public. Xian possessing good looks, talent, and perseverance needed that extra spark to change the course of his career from its sluggish pace to a manageable speed befitting his long wait.
2011 was the banner year for Kim. Her house got built. She moved in on her birthmonth, April. She turned 21 and has arrived but not quite. She still had something to prove. Kim took stock of herself; dependent and indecisive in so many things, this time she took the bull by the horns and on a trip to L.A. for a Hollywood encounter and a Star Magic Tour, she embarked on a renewed friendship with her lost love.

CTO - Kim according to Kim: Pangit.
She felt particularly sore when Kim started to blame herself for things going wrong. Binu-boost ko yong spirit niya. Sinasabi ko na isipin mo, ang ganda-ganda mo. Kasi sabi niya, pangit daw siya. May ganun siyang feeling. Siguro yun yung point na down na down siya." Lakam Chiu on Kim-StarStudio Magazine, July, 2011. -Arnel Ramos-AT HOME WITH KIM.
"To err is human, to forgive, divine." It is so hard to forgive a hurt. Kim however chose to forgive and along with people who suffer the hurt but forgives the purveyor of the hurt, Kim trekked the road that Jesus did and came out victorious and freed from the feeling of "victimhood" that follows a major heartache.
Forgiveness must not be only in words but of action. There has to be some reconciliation of sorts, perhaps not of the romantic kind but of friendship. Kim had her chance to do this a year after the hurt. Time heals all wounds, they say and time is on Kim's side.
Kim renewed her friendship with Gerald Anderson; bonding with him during the lull of the 2011 Star Magic engagement in L.A. They went skydiving, visited Griffith Observatory for the view of the LA skyline; Leonard Nimoy Theatre for its exhibits; the Getty Center. Kim also celebrated her 21st birthday with him s at Hard Rock Cafe. All these were documented and photographed and featured in Star Studio Magazine, July, 2011; same issue wherein Kim's new house was featured.. Out with the old love; in with a renewed friendship!
2011 was also the year Xian's career awakened from its slumber. Some intervention that can only be termed divine occurred. Two disparate circumstances gave rise to the 3rd in the line of succession, Xian or Andy Wu, becoming the Crown Prince to the Chinita Princess Kim or Jade Dimaguiba in the show, My Binondo Girl.

Kim and Xian electrified the teleserye-viewing public creating such a buzz among nonPinoy-show watchers who found the My Binondo Girl pair comparable to the best there is in Taiwanese or Korean telenovela loveteams; giving rise to the portmanteau KimXi and their fan group Team KimXi or KimXis.

The Year that was 2011 also saw Xian in the company of Kim Chiu, her family and friends. Kim and Xian's December 8, 2011 Kris TV interview had Kimmy detailing to Kris Aquino her "superfriendship" with Xian and Xian's presence in her family's events even before Jade and Andy became an item in My Binondo Girl.

The superfriendship of Kim and Xian grew in leaps and bounds after My Binondo Girl ended. The Jandy now KimXi continued their bonding in myriad activities which are twitted and captured on cam by fans which also multiplied after Xian's back-to-back endorsements hit radio, TV in addition to Xian's own personal appearances.
This is only the sixth month that My Binondo Girl ended and Xian has had 8 or so high-end endorsements added to his original two. He has recorded an album; has gone on multiple tours for shows around the region as well as in the U.S. and Singapore; just finished a movie The Reunion; is now taping Ina, Kapatid, Anak and is hosting a Saturday show for talented children. Kim is equally busy with her endorsement shoots, shows, both local and foreign; just finished a horror film with Gov. Vi and is now in Ina, Kapatid, Anak with Xian.
My Binondo Girl had its Grand Finale January, 2012. In a Buzz interview with Toni Gonzaga, Xian hoped that his friendship with Kim would continue. Everyone who follows the two stars knows that their friendship has deepened since then. They have gone out on solo and group dates and to all intents and purposes are exclusively dating. 3rd millennium technology has plotted their whereabouts everywhere a fan with a phone camera and twitter happens to be when these two stars go out be it to Church, coffee shops, Subic for a run or horse back riding, concerts, out of town shows, movies,groceries, restaurants,etc. Celebrities and writers (Ogie Diaz at Republiq and Rommel Placente at Baclaran Church) flag them for a quick photo-op or an ambush interview.

Privacy is no longer in Kim and Xian's vocabulary and time too has gone elusive. They play catch up with time for their personal sorties out. Their batteries are on energizer levels; they keep on going and going and going. The price of fame can be high but by God's grace, Kim and Xian have built-in motivating machines and a huge supply of positivism plus the ability to do power naps. Their good looks seem to be enhanced by their busyness or maybe by their being at each other's beck and call or text or from being with each other or if not, in each other's consciousness. Love is a good beautifier. Happiness inside radiates; making eyes sparkle, skin glow and smile just there, a perpetual lift that surfaces easily. The sight of the beloved is enough to make the day or brighten it. That is why working round the clock , 24 hours straight do not seem to be so; energies are still high according to Xian with Kim around him.
I see a love connection that is not labelled or articulated. Xian's self-declared quest to make Kim feel happy and special and Kim's pronouncement that she is happy being together with Xian, is, to me, a clear indication that Xian is a welcome presence in Kim's life. Whether the love has gone romantic, that I do not know. I have been told that there can be no platonic friendship between a man and woman; Kim says she is also ready to fall in love again. So, romance is within the realm of possibilities.
What I do see is change (for the better) in Kim. She is using less or no makeup when she and Xian go out on their dates. Her hair is kept loose or tied with none of her ubiquitous curls. She speaks more and better English, perhaps thanks to Mr. M's personal tutoring but I also see confidence building from some positive reenforcement from an Englisero superfriend.
Here's an excerpt of a 2009 Pep.ph interview of Xian regarding his taste in girls.
Although born and raised in California, the actor's taste in girls is surprisingly traditional. "I like conservative girls. Ayoko yung 'gimikera' girls. It's not my thing. I don't like girls who wear really slutty outfits. I don't think you have to show so much skin. Dapat just dress normal and just be yourself. And I hate girls who wear a lot of makeup. Just conservative and simple."Although born and raised in California, the actor's taste in girls is surprisingly traditional. "I like conservative girls. Ayoko yung 'gimikera' girls.

There is change and though subtle it is good to know that Kim who is sought of to be happy by a concerned young man is also giving back by seeking to suit what he wants in his woman. Kim is not undergoing a drastic change as she is traditional and conservative in her ways and is the stay-at-home type. She appears to be sloughing off thicker facial and eye make-up and I believe this is also from an increasing confidence in herself brought on from constant affirmation by a smitten superfriend who prefers to see her simple and unadorned.

Perception must match reality. If it doesn't then one can either be low in self-esteem or at the opposite end, proud and overbearing. Kim who at the lowest period in her life perceived herself to be ugly or pangit is now on the mend. Suffering from rejection by a beloved some people would be angry at the person causing the hurt and would seek revenge to get even or, more often than we think, would turn against themselves and call themselves ugly or pangit and unworthy of anyone's love and spiral downward into depression.
Kim has forgiven the person who has hurt her. I also now see Kim forgiving herself by being her own person, independent, capable of making needed decisions to further her lot. She now openly says she loves herself more and is opening up to her sisters and brothers, introducing and letting them know more of Xian by having them bond with him. She says she has never done this with her former love.
Kim is appreciating and thanking Xian more for all the beautiful things Xian has done/ is continually doing for her by thanking him publicly in her Instagram and when pointedly asked by media. She also compliments him for the kind of person he is--caring, funny, thoughtful. They are members of a Mutual Admiration Society and not a day passes by without us seeing their beautiful smiles towards each other. If we don't see current events, we dig up our archives for their videos and pictures. Their happiness is ours. We also undergo healing of some form. Love , peace and joy reign in KimXi's domain and we, KimXis, are enveloped in these love, peace and joy. Thank you God.

Kim is now learning to value her worth and with the help of a continuous flow of positive assertions and appreciation from Xian, Kim's battered ego will slowly but surely heal. She is gaining much needed confidence. She goes out without much makeup and is now wearing simple outfits. She is now in touch with the Kim of old; confident and strong in simplicity. Kim is more composed and in control in the Sunday show, ASAP.
God who has put Kim and Xian together to end up with each other in a show is also ever present in their real lives because Kim and Xian have not ceased to pray and invoke His help and thank Him for His blessings. Xian, a student of human behavior and Kim, a nurturing co-actor, are just what each other needed when by the grace of God they were paired in My Binondo Girl; certainly a TV pairing made in heaven and hopefully and prayerfully a love-match that is also heaven-sent.
Kim has ceased to see herself as pangit; and if I must say, Xian has considerably helped in her process of healing. Kim is now a beauty in the eyes of Kim. Kim and Xian, soul mates now, superfriends always and soon to be whatever Xian seeks to be; for in the eyes of Xian, nothing is impossible as the God he believes in is the Lord of the impossible.
Xian Lim
Just to be with the person I love. It's right, you know? That's my dream date, just [to be with] the girl of my dreams - someone that's down to earth, cute, funny...

Be strong Xian! You now have a woman who understands what makes you tick and ("...finally, finally, meron ng nakakaintindi sa akin"--Xian to Kim...Henni E. interview- Balitang Amerika 5-26-2012), I also see , accepts you wholeheartedly for what you are and since you are always with the girl of your dreams (if such is indeed Kim) then you have had countless dream dates. God is good!
