There will come a time....

CTO
If you're waiting for a sign THIS IS IT.
“Maybe you think you’ll be entitled to more happiness later by forgoing all of it now, but it doesn’t work that way. Happiness takes as much practice as unhappiness does. It’s by living that you live more. By waiting you wait more. Every waiting day makes your life a little less. Every lonely day makes you a little smaller. Every day you put off your life makes you less capable of living it.” 
― Ann BrasharesSisterhood Everlasting



CTO - Ina, Kapatid, Anak Pocket Presscon - 9-25-12
The Pocket presscon for the TV series that revealed more than a pocketful of choiced bits  outside of IKA from Kim - a most unlikely source.

Xian's love quest in his young life since he came into our attention is "to make Kim happy, make her feel special".  




CTO -  Abigail Perez ‏@SoItsCHIU
Eto nanaman tayo Xian Lim.. tingin mo bro ha.. CTO http://pic.twitter.com/y1yEiAX4
Retweeted by Xian Lim 
Even a look can make one feel happy, special; especially if it is done in full view of people who have cameras and who also write; body language can easily give one away especially to the discerning eye; Kimmy with her "straying elbow" and Xian with his "long, lingering gaze"  speak volumes where words are not uttered. Kim must feel the warm stare in her demure and shy stance. 



We who have been tracking the Kim and Xian love saga since My Binondo Girl have committed Xian's love refrain to memory.  



In the months and months that followed  Xian has plodded on undeterred; his romantic nature expressed in so many loving ways that left us all awaiting for them  with bated breath for the next explosive one as they unfold before our eyes on Twitter or Instagram 



Xian has however gone under the radar; preferring to keep things away from the public eye,  doing things that only his beloved would know and they would have remained  unconfirmed rumors until Kim broke silence and reciprocated in a grand way by revealing  at the Ina, Kapatid, Anak pocket presscon the loving ways of a Xian Lim outside of all that have already been published, dissected so far.  



"PRIMETIME Princess Kim Chiu revealed that her leading man and rumored boyfriend Xian Lim recently gave her a pink Prada bag. "
http://www.sunstar.com.ph/manila/entertainment/2012/09/25/kim-gets-prada-bag-xian-244805


chinitaprincess PINK DAY TODAY!!!! haha #photoshoot  3mon-CTO
CTO -jfernand3z  Yan ba yung nakitang binili DAW ni @xianlimm sa SG?  #prada  3mon


Xian asked by SunStar reporter Glaiza Jarloc for the meaning of  his gift to Kim had this to say:  

"Gusto ko lang na malaman niya na lagi siyang nasa isip ko.  It doesn't matter kung anong ibinigay ko, basta naiisip ko siya,"  loosely translated to mean, 

"I just want her to know that she (Kim) is always in my mind.  It doesn't matter what I gave her, what matters is I thought of her."   


Xian Lim on why he gave Kim Chiu a Prada bag: "Gusto ko lang malaman niya na palagi siyang nasa isip ko, ganoon."

Whether the gift be costly such as a Prada bag or time spent in  acting Fedex to a bag of Kutsinta; one thing is brought to mind --the love-force behind the airport-to-airport delivery by the man whose one thought is  in wanting the significant other to be happy, wanting to make her feel special; satisfy a craving not only for food but for attention from one man who has grown on her in the months that they have bonded together.


CTO - Kim - the object of Xian's thoughts and affection.




CTO - The Gift by Jim Brickman -duet 


The gifts which are one and the same in Xian's estimation as to their value since they are sincerely and lovingly given  are received warmly by Kim who now feels more the thoughtfulness and sincerity  behind those gifts than their cost; as they say, "it is the thought that counts"; the intention behind the gifts which to quote Kim's expressed gratitude to Xian in Balitang America, which "says it all".



CTO - Balitang America Interview - 5-26-12

Four months after the above interview, Xian is still consistent in his pronouncements and  behavior towards Kim, who,  glorying in all of Xian's loving attention flourishes and as EJ Salut, Advertising and Promotions Head, TV Production, ABS CBN  says it:  "Sobrang saya na ni Kim ngayon".  "Kim is now really, really happy", loosely translated.

(Mika2004 -thanks.)  
eto yung podcast: http://abscbnpr.com/?p=4382

at around ~ 39 minutes, sabi ni EJ Salut - sobrang saya na ni Kim ngayon
sabi naman ni Maja "sobrang saya nya ngayon"

eto ulit ang bandila clip para sa video:

http://www.youmaker.com/video/svb5-e...9-24-2012.html

sabi ni Maja, while tapping Kimmy : "sobrang saya nya ngayon"
then nagtap din sya sa shoulder ni Xian, ganun ulit ang sabi nya


CTO -  "Sobrang saya na ni Kim ngayon"...ganun din si Xian. "Xian maligayang laging kasama si Kim " - http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=853236&publicationSubCategoryId=96
Masasabi ba niyang nakatulong si Xian sa kanya kaya sobrang masaya siya ngayon? "Sobrang happy!" tili ni Kim "Kahit naman hindi dumating si Xian, masaya na naman ako. 
"And mas masaya lang ako na nakahanap ako ng bagong kaibigan.”   


One thing magical about happiness is  when it is shared; it multiplies in the giver.  The bearer of happiness in emptying himself is filled continuously so that the happiness quotient in both the giver and the recipient rises with every measure of happiness given and received.  

This is why, Xian the sharer of happiness has the wider laugh, the bigger happiness container- his heart- which has now a bigger capacity for love; the heart - the fountain from which happiness comes from and where it returns to - has expanded.  

As Kim says, Xian has spread his love and happiness to her own household, her family and her friends.  We see Xian expanding more towards his fans, his colleagues and everyone he meets.  

Kim, who also extended her long arm of happiness towards Xian in the early days of My Binondo Girl saw,  and really saw him in his shyness, diffidence, his "kaba" around her and with her warmth, friendliness, sweetness thawed Xian enough for him to expose his heart which discovered early than his mind did the reality that Kim is the girl of his dreams; the girl/woman he would most want to be around with, on and off-cam.


CTO - Impossible Dream by Luther Vandross 



Kim, to Xian the  definition of sweet; someone who still had a smile at 4 a.m or 8 a.m. more than 24 hours after they got together for taping; the kind of woman he would want to be around with for a long time to come also had a heart encased in frozen tears.  To Xian, Kim became his  "impossible" dream.  So, his quest took off to a good start with him just wanting "to make her happy, make her feel special"; the phrases which he still mouths today which have since been  backed by  romantic gestures coming from the heart - his heart.



CTO - Kodak Moment
Kimmy having the time of her life with the birthday boy - Xian 7-11-12 among KimXis; that night Xian again was special guest to Kimmy's surprise birthday celeb for him among close friends and family.  Kim and Xian enjoying the moment."If we take care of the moments, the years will take care of themselves." Maria Edgeworth 



CTO - Precious moments with each other; precious gift of time, more valuable than material things considering that Xian's time is prime; still Xian makes time even if he had to crash in Kimmy's living room while the guests where in revelry for Kimmy's birthday.  Xian just came from a hosting job at a Promil Show.   Time, only 24 hours in a day, managed and budgeted by Xian and one line-item is Kim Time.

Comfortability Factor - Ultra High

That Xian's material  gifts are also well-thought of and executed are value added to the gift.  In the purchase of the Prada bag for example, eye-witnesses twitted  that Xian  purchased the Prada Bag at the Singapore airport before his departure back to Manila.  He came in in the morning and left early evening of the same day, June 17, 2012.  According to Kim at the IKA Presscon, Xian always brings him gifts coming home from his trips.  Thoughtfulness is happiness.  Revelation of the thoughtfulness is Happiness.  Appreciation is Happiness.


Thoughtfulness is  a Xian trait that is behind all his gifts to Kim whether it be as ambitious as bringing in freshly-caught packed-in-ice Salmon from Alaska checked in as luggage where else but all the way from Alaska and personally delivered to Kim's door upon Xian's arrival at the airport after an approximately 16 hours and some minutes (not counting his delay at the airport)  flight from L.A. to Manila which is just the last leg of his  itinerary or be it  some simple fare such as Soya milk and bottled water to keep Kim hydrated  during tapings -- the reason  behind it is the same -- Xian is thinking of Kim and  thinking of Kim because he cares for her.


Thoughtfulness is behind his food gifts to Kim's family and household, feeding the whole house when he goes and visits.  Thoughtfulness is asking Kim's permission to visit Kim's Lola in his visits to the Queen City of the South for his mall shows and thoughtfulness is bringing back Kutsinta, ground sticky rice cake, a Kimmy food craving, all the way from Cebu to Manila for Kim. Kim doesn't hide the fact that she's inspired, and feels that Xian could fill in the void in her heart after that heartbreak last year. In her stories about how Xian tries to put his best foot forward, one could feel the excitement inside her. "Minsan, may show siya sa Cebu, dadalawin daw niya ang Lola ko. Nakakatuwa. Tapos, may binilin ako sa kanya na kunin sa sister ko. Kinuha naman at dinala sa akin," she related.  So, what was that? "Kutsintang Cebu," she said with a laugh. Published : Wednesday, September 26, 2012

CTO - Kutsinta
 


Revealing Xian's thoughtful gestures is an unheard of Kimmy trait; that she has done so, so liberally, to the press  at the pocket press conference for Ina, Kapatid, Anak  also reveals the depth of her closeness  to Xian now and she appreciates  his thoughtfulness enough to be shouting them from the rooftops or actually to the Press  what Xian has given her and how grateful she is for them.   

I/we can only salute Kim for raising the banner for Xian and for revealing the kind of person he is; a quiet type who prefers to act more than talk; kind, generous to a fault and caring not only towards Kim but also towards everyone around him including Kim's friends and family members.

Accepting Xian for who and what he is--quiet, reserved, God fearing, book reader, sensitive, hopeless romantic, family oriented--is  the greatest gift Kim could give and has given Xian.  

When Xian said, "...finally, meron ng nakakaintindi sa akin..." referring to Kim at the Balitang America interview of May 26, 2012, his face glowed and happiness was written all over him, in his eyes, his shy and at the same time proud smile, his whole being.  


CTO - To Xian: the Gift of Understanding                   

It was  a revelation and a confession to the world that where before he only existed, misunderstood and misjudged, now someone, someone important to him whom he also deeply cares for took  time to discover who he really is and accepted and understood him  as is - the reality of the man, Alexander Xian Cruz Lim-Uy and what makes him tick. 

Finally, Xian feels  complete; now he lives and from that special someone, he has learned that introspective types like him can also  thrive in the world of glitter and glam - the world of showbusiness. 

Be yourself, Xian.  Kim likes you the way you are.  She may egg you to learn to be happy but what Kim perhaps has not realized yet is that just being around her you are  happy; "excited just at the thought that she is there" for you or as you said it at your Balitang America interview "...masaya, masaya...merong excitement na naiisip na nandiyan sya".   Xian says relationship with Kim has gone 'deeper' 



CTO- The Wonder of You by Elvis Presley


Kim only used to post her gratitude on her Instagram without mentioning the giver, the Love Rose Tree, the flowers, the bag, for example. Here,  Kim has gotten out of herself; gotten out of character.  This is not the Kim we used to know; someone whose private life is guarded so tightly like Fort Knox.  Now, even her body language speaks volumes;  prompting one reporter  to write:  During unguarded moments, Kim would place her elbow on Xian's thigh, but would easily get conscious and quickly get it off.  Eugene Asis

So Close to You
Does he accidentally graze his hand against yours? Do the two of you sit so close that you can feel your legs touching? When sitting in a group, does his body point in your direction? Yes for all? Good news darling! These are a man's subtle ways to let you know he wants to focus on you and get to know you better as well.

Kim is now opened at saying that indeed she is feeling special from all the attention that Kim and her family are getting from Xian; statements that make the hearts of KimXis swell for Xian.  "Xian has expressed admiration for Kim, and the latter, in turn, admits she feels special to him. “Kasi tinatrato niyang espesyal yung buong pamilya ko. Noong magkaroon siya ng mall show sa Cebu, sabi niya gusto niyang dalawin yung lola ko doon." http://ph.omg.yahoo.com/news/what%E2%80%99s-the-real-score-between-kim-and-xian-.html


Xian, the enigmatic leading man, a face familiar from billboards, photos and shows but create pandemonium among the women, who when they see him in person claim Xian has these Adonis-like features and his photos do not do him justice at all  has carved a niche in a business which is hard to crack - actor, host, singer, composer, musician, a multi-media model , endorser and Kim Chiu's, may I safely say , Man of the hour; and from his own description of himself, a superhero, has also found friends from among the press people.  One, Kuya Germs, Xian publicly thanked in his twitter when Xian read the following, quite a tribute to Xian:



CTO - Kuya Germs (German Moreno) column at Pilipino Star that Xian snipped and scanned.

Thank you very much for this article kuya Germs! :-)) 


"Katunayan, mas bumilib kami kay Xian Lim na pagkatapos ng presscon ay nakisali pa siya sa katuwaan ng grupo namin dahil pinag-reconcile ni Bossing DMB ang dalawang entertainment reporters na matagal na ring hindi nagbabatian. Hindi niya pinersonal ang tanong namin sa kanya. Naiintindihan niya na trabaho lang ang ginagawa namin. ‘Yan ang tunay na aktor, hindi pikon." – Reggee Bonoan 



There is another quality that Xian has just exhibited at the IKA pocket presscon which writers Kuya Germs,  Reggee Bonoan attest to  - strength of character.  Xian  as both writers said, stood his ground, ignored the bashers and like a true professional, did not take the low blows personally.  He, as a sensitive person, felt the hurt but he rose above it and continued his trek upwards.  

This is where Xian and Kim are alike in their positive responses to negative stimuli.  They  take the blows soundly, undaunted and unbowed and stand their ground and from there move on and forward toward their goals.  Look at where they are now.  

Role models to the young and old, Kim and Xian with success within easy reach for their strong faith, hard work and great attitude  They have earned the respect of the above writers and who knows how many more will follow.  Proud to be KimXis.

CTO  The many happy faces of Kim  and 

CTO - Xian.
Xian:  "Finally, meron nang nakakaintindi sa akin...masaya, masaya...tthere's something to look forward to each day...there's an excitement na naiisip na nandiyan sya (Kim)" --Balitang America to Henni Espinosa 5-26-12.


Kim and Xian are in the throes of another teleserye, Ina, Kapatid, Anak airing this October 8 and in its promotion and on the side, they titillate the crowd and the fans by  publicly declaring that their friendship is deeper; that they are happier having found each other with Kim fearlessly revealing the kindness, generosity, and thoughtfulness of Xian towards her and her family and  her feeling special from  all this show of affection from a man who has been consistently expressing his affection in so many ways since late last year.  


Confronted with The Question, Kim says , no, she and Xian are not officially together, "konting effort pa".  They are just enjoying every moment that they are together; they are happy being together and are not going to keep it a secret once they are indeed together.  

Since we, KimXis are privy to  the deluge of effort-filled show of affection  from  Xian to Kim,  the "konting effort pa" must not be in the  quantity but in the quality of the effort  which we  can only guess and which Xian still has to discover what the "konting effort" Kim needs to see from him.  

The "konting effort"  may also come from Kim herself as she is asking the heavens for a SIGN, a sign that only Kim would recognize once she sees it.  

Hindi natin pangunahan or we should not jump to conclusions or put the cart before Lagunara ,Kim's horse but "stay, stay lang muna dyan" as Kim has said to Xian to which he has also lovingly answered, " Nandito lang ako, nandito lang, I won't leave." 

Nandito lang din kami.  Your call, Kim, Xian.  The sign (s) is/are very clear to us as Eugene Asis has said, "Action speaks louder".  If we can see it/them, soon Kim, as soon as she peels her eyes, would see the awaited SIGN  too. 

So, we are on a Waiting Game;  soon, we will just be surprised, when we awake one morning and our fave duo will  tell us that they are extremely happy to let us know    that Celebration time has come.  HAPPINESS!

A Woman in...

butterfly quotes
Author Unknown.     CTO
                         
CTO Kim Chiu @Chinita Princess. Xian Lim @Xianlimm

Enjoying the moment.  Kim and Xian, whose names are now easy on the tonque, have settled into a comfortable rhythm that depicts the oft-repeated response they both give reporters eager to know the real score between them.  Xian, pushed to a corner, extricates himself and says, "...we're enjoying the moment...".

"Ayoko naman sabihin na hinihintay [ko siya], mas maganda sabihin na we're enjoying every moment, na kung ano man dumating, just enjoy it, the show, our work," Lim told reporters on Friday during a pictorial for his upcoming drama series with Chiu, "Ina, Kapatid, Anak.

  CTO - September 18, 2012.


There was a lull in the taping of Ina, Kapatid, Anak.  Kim and Xian found time to shoot the breeze. Xian proudly showed off  the latest Garage magazine issue with him on the cover. Kim gladly leafed  through 8  pages of Xian and in  awhile  returned to her sketch and smilingly toiled the minutes away in shaping and coloring her favorite  art object, butterflies on the wing  preferring to have the living, breathing Xian beside her, in the flesh and in living color. Who wouldn't? Her smile is broad and the night took flight in the wings of multicolored butterflies. 



CTO - 9-18-12
 

Laughter punctuated their beautiful smiles as Kimmy perhaps in some goodnatured ribbing coming from Xian dished out some of her own; keeping Xian in stitches (lower left pic), relieving the rigors of an emotion-filled  taping scene, where Kim plays an impoverished Celine to Xian's ritzy ritz Liam in Ina, Kapatid, Anak, airing this October.

Following  is Xian  and  his  adorable laugh with Kimmy smiling shyly beside him.   In their My Binondo Girl taping togs, they took time to send an encouraging message to kids, beneficiaries of KimXis' charity work; interrupted by a private joke only they understood; a laugh infectious radiating to the viewers and showing a seldom seen side of Xian; unleashed it seems mostly in Kim's presence.  There must be something about Kimmy.  

CTO - Christmas greetings to Binondo Kids 12-17-2011


CTO - Elbow to elbow, Xian, the Enamored One watching his Innamorata whiling

the night away sketching and coloring.  The minutes also ticked away unnoticed; with Kim, conveniently or inconveniently, covered by a fruit basket to the consternation of KimXis viewing this photo.  Marching to the beat of Xian's drum, I can say or see the wait cannot be tedious when one just enjoys the moment in the company of one's beloved.  The wait can only be slow, tedious and tiresome when moments are not spent in good company making the "minutes seem like hours, the hours go so slowly". Tonight, tonight, Won't be just any night, Tonight there will be no morning star. 
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight. And for us, stars will stop where they are. Today The minutes seem like hours, The hours go so slowly, And still the sky is light . . . Oh moon, grow bright, And make this endless day endless night!  - Tonight from The West Side Story.







CTO - Xian sketching with Kim.  Kim beaming with happiness.


Where Kim is happy, Xian is happy.  Love, uninterrupted.


CTO - Video Little Things mean a Lot
by The Platters.

Little things meaning a lot; breathing the same air, occupying the same space; leaning forward in creative silence; head to head, elbow to elbow with a loved one can make the simplest thing like coloring a sketch a glorious experience, lifting spirits; making the "hours seem like minutes";  the funfilled moments filed away in memory setting the time spent as one dream-date fulfilled.

The Defining Moment.  The month of September started with a bang for Kim and Xian.  The 20th Anniversary Celebration of Star Magic, ABS CBN's Talent Center culminated with it's sixth Ball, September 01, 2011 at the Rizal Grand Ballroom, Shangrila Hotel, Makati; Star Magic's talents and invited guests dressed to the nines.  

It was a magical night, the night when Kim chose to walk the Red Carpet in the arm of a tall and dashing young man other than her perennial one.  There was changing of the guards that night; a Declaration of Independence from one's past; a Declaration of Sorts for the new escort.   

It was a night to remember, the night Xian Lim was formally introduced to Star Magic Society as Kim's chosen one.  They looked so well put together, with Xian's silvery bow picking the glint and glitter of silver-hued crystals on Kim's embellished white Serpentina gown; their extreme good looks enhanced by the excitement of the evening;  they went home fittingly with the Couple of the Night Award.  

CTO - Happiness! First time out at a Ball and awarded Couple of the Night. 
                                    
Kim saying her Thank Yous as Xian eagerly awaited his turn.

The night marked a turning point in Kim's young existence filled with ideals of life and love which went awry but is now publicly seen as on the mend prompting Banana Split host John Pratts to remark, " It used to be Kim and Gerald, now it is Kim and Xian," to which colleague Angelica answered, almost incredulously, "Amazing."  (Banana Split - 09-03-12)

Yes, indeed, "amazing" is the word for a "reel" pairing of Jandy which went KimXi; for Kim to finally get up and shake off the dust of the past and move  on and forward to a new beginning with a new love which  now appears to have reached a point of no return, a defining moment; though the deepening relationship still remains undefined.  There is  some leveling up on Xian's part.  He now uses the phrase, " What  you see is what you get."    Marami ang nakapansin sa sobrang closeness at sweetness nina Xian at Kim sa nakaraang Star Magic Ball.  Tumindi tuloy ang espekulasyon na may relasyon na raw ang dalawa pero ayaw lang nilang aminin.Pero sabi ni Xian tungkol dito, “Let people think what what they want to think, iyon lang yun. 'Wag sana nilang pangunahan.“Kung ano ang nakikita nila, sila na ang bahala. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion.    http://pep.ph/news/35729/xian-lim-on-real-score-with-kim-chiu-wala-naman-kailangang-isikreto-if-there-is-something-to-say-aaminin-naman/1/2  9-21-12


CTO - The chairs are empty and the lights are low, Kim and Xian speaking  their own language, caught on cam. Night of the Ball - 9-01-12.  No, the Princess's gown did not turn to rags and her stratospheric shoes are still on.  The Prince remains enamored.  What a night!


The Promise.  “Basta nandiyan kami para sa isa’t isa, ‘yan yung promise namin sa isa’t isa.” http://pep.ph/news/35729/xian-lim-on-real-score-with-kim-chiu-wala-naman-kailangang-isikreto-if-there-is-something-to-say-aaminin-naman/1/2 - 9-21-12.   

Kim and Xian have declared to one another to be there for each other.  What a beautiful promise;  a pledge of love almost.  This two, based on how they have been in their lives, appear to be Promise Keepers.

Growing Confidence.  I love Kim's sense of style.  She does buy her special bags and shoes but her outfits  except for those used for showbiz events  are simple and inexpensive.  She wears her clothes well and like a true Fashionista, she dresses appropriately to the occasion. Xian’s favorite look Actor Xian Lim, Chiu’s on-screen partner, said his leading lady has simple but charming fashion choices. When asked by StarStudio about his favorite look of the actress, Lim said: “When she wears a dress with a belt, tapos naka-wedge… or when she’s wearing her high-waist shorts with Tory Burch flats.”  “She looks good in anything – branded man ‘yan o galing kung saan, it will look expensive,” he added.  http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/lifestyle/09/06/12/how-kim-chiu%E2%80%99s-fashion-sense-evolved

Kim has gained the confidence and the flair through the years but the new-found added confidence is so marked in the latest event she guested in -  the 2012 BenchUniverse Denim and Underwear Fashion Show.  

Even the Inside Showbiz Magazine commented favorably at the sight of the "New Kim". It’s a given: all the girls at the Bench Universe denim and underwear show were sizzling hot!

Kim Chiu was certainly a perfect choice for the opening act, wearing a glittering detachable gown as she walked onto the stage. She did not disappoint her fans by trading her long skirt for skimpy shorts and sky-high platform heels. It showed off her long flawless legs and lean frame. Joining her in that segment was Jake Cuenca who looked confident and proud with his body. He shocked the audience as he removed his underwear to reveal his thong briefs.

Meanwhile, Xian , not to be outdone,  was himself making waves when he topped the online poll for Hottest Man in Philippine Showbiz for 2012 and he has a magazine cover to show for it.  We read through the eight full pages for answers to our questions, which the magazine tackles in “Ten Reasons why Xian Lim is the Next Leading Man to Beat!” They pick the following: 1. Xian is professional — never late, without the attitude problem. 2. He is serious in improving his craft — widening the scope of roles to tackle, reading Sidney Sheldon books. 3. He takes the negative as positive — is never onion-skinned about criticism. 4. Respects his fans sincerely — went to the hospital to sing for a sick lola, a fan who requested it. 5. He is a natural leader — takes advantage of this newfound ability he never thought he had. 6. Values trust given him — these include projects given and endorsements. 7. Motivates himself — just about anything provides him with inspiration in writing his songs. 8. He has no pretensions — what you see is what you get, and Xian wants that to stay. 9. A hopeless romantic — he would shower a special girl with gifts and attention. 10. Unafraid to wear his heart on his sleeve.

What a tribute from broadsheet writer Bibsy Carballo on Xian and his handiwork. She also mentioned that Xian has not been too long in the business for him to reach this impressive place in his career.  God is good!

There is a God and He is loving and merciful to His children.  Xian Lim who only toes the line, values his family, his work, his colleagues and friends and most of all His God is now receiving the graces God has willed for him .  It is now Xian's time to shine and how!

CTO - What a privilege and an honor for Xian on top of earning off it to be given the task by ABS CBN to compose the themesong for Ina, Kapatid, Anak as well as sing it.  ABS CBN must trust him so for him to given the project; and Xian also  makes it look effortless.  

Indeed, Xian is worthy to be called  Multi-Media Model as book author and Philippine star writer, Bibsy Carballo, described  him.  


Xian has just come back from Cebu for his endorsement Myra Vita White E and was in Bacolod last weekend for a Star Magic game with La Salle - Bacolod.  

A member of the group of four -Popables- who sing and perform novelty songs, Xian  was in ASAP for a number with the group and  a duet with Kim as well as a chorus with two younger sets at the finale of the Katy Perry song, Teenage Dream.  

Kim and Xian sang the song with such zest and delight that they looked and sounded more giddy than the real teenagers around them. Live. Laugh. Love.


CTO - Xian - all smiles while Kim sang her portion of  Katy Perry's Teenage Dream.



CTO - Tender looks, lovingly encouraging the other.
Kim and Xian trended on Twitter September 16, 2012 following their Loveteam Production Number that highlighted the day for KimXis worldwide; the couple on a rare appearance since their walking the Red Carpet at the Star Magic Ball two weeks prior performed with such gusto, they now set the peg for duet production numbers.

Fulfillment.  Xian in his interview says that he and Kim are not keeping their growing relationship a secret.   As he said, "What you see, is what you get."   Let us put together what is out there for us to see.


CTO - We see Laughter.


CTO - Kim's loves.

CTO - We see thoughtfulness on Kim's part.

How kind of the Chius to have sent off Xian at the airport for his flight back to Manila following his Myra Vita White show in Cebu 9-22nd.  

Bonding with Kim's family in Cebu is what we see happening where there was none before.

We see "Likes and Comments" on each other's Instagrams which are warmer where before in some distant past, if there were, were a bit caustic on Kim's side.

CTO - We see intertwining fingers initiated by Kim.


CTO - We see loverly smiles.







CTO - More effort from Xian.     











    "Sabi pala ni Xian nung tinanong ng DJ sa SM Sucat show niya kung anong score nila ni Kim.... The Answer:' 2 POINTS' waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh less than three <3   (   KimXi member-maevel2002  )


    CTO - While Xian was cozily bonding with the Chius in Cebu after his Myra 

    Vita White Mall show, Kim was on a 10-hour ride both ways to Dagupan and back Saturday 9-22 to sing to an overflowing crowd-- a crowd and a Kimmy favorite - California King Bed, perhaps a song handpicked for her own California King. 


    Shy, introverted Xian has shown his mettle at the basketball court in Bacolod last week, the Ilonggos are asking him to be back for the Masskara Festival this October; there were more shots taken and more balls getting into the basket.  His twitter has the twits to prove it.  

    Xian can claim the title Hottest Man in Showbiz for 2012.  His mall shows are packed; those who see him for the first time say he looks like a Greek god and the word Guapo is inadequate to describe the persona that is  Xian Lim.  Sobrang guapo is more the phrase.  

    Kim is the same way.  Her luminous, delicate features have captivated many and her body has filled out to a point where a magazine writer termed her "beauty queen"  hot rather than modelesque thin.  

    What has caused the transformation?  Why are these two young people radiating so - in good looks and talent?  Xian has one good reason.  He says he is just inspired.  For lack of any rationale from Kim, perhaps we can use the same reason Xian uses.  Kim, a woman in transition; a woman inspired; a woman in love and safe to say, the object of her affection is --Xian.  Just my humble opinion.
