In the beginning their world was in darkness, chaos and turmoil; two individuals of differing backgrounds not knowing where to turn, turned to God and in their heart of hearts might have heard God's word - reminiscent of the Genesis,"Let there be light" and there was light. Kim and Xian, prayerful, God-fearing are blessed with each other; each becoming each other's light; what one lacks, the other fills, all in God's will and grace.
"3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. Genesis 1 (New International Version).
Kim and Xian, be still and know that God is with you. If God is with you, who can be against you?

Notice a man leaning on the tree in the light, in silhouette. One can only surmise that he is Xian standing before Kim's camera awaiting his love in the dusk, when the silence is sacred and the cares of the day float away when the love one is near; a love one who is optimistic and has this positive sense of self that strengthens and invigorates those around her.

THE ONE
When the one whose hand you’re holding
Is the one who holds your heart,
When the one whose eyes you gaze into
Gives your hopes and dreams their start,
When the one you think of first and last
Is the one who holds you tight
And the things you plan together
Make the whole world seem just right,
Puts their faith and trust in you,
You’ve found the one and only love
You’ll share your whole life through

Kim as Celyn against all odds and overcoming obstacles with her great attitude and loving trust in a sustaining Divine Providence.
"Okay lang ako, kaya ko 'to; U.P. here I come! - Celyn (Kim).
There is a scene in Ina, Kapatid, Anak where the protagonist Celyn just had her money, school records, clothes stolen by scam artists within the hour of her arrival in Manila from Cebu. She prayed to Santo Nino, the only remaining item that escaped the robbers' hands and thereupon remembered a 50 peso bill in her pocket. She was all ecstatic over her find just when Liam's (Xian) car passed and drenched Celyn with muddy water from a pothole he drove over.
It appears the muddy welcome marked her baptism and her deliverance from whatever guilt she must have felt from disobeying her mother's wishes; her spirits remaining open and positive to good things that she expected to happen with Santo Nino's help. She had an eye on her goal - a job after graduation and a life that would give her family a better life.
http://www.youmaker.com/video/svb5- 9e78a797d704316ac4443ab39e9bbe7001 .html.Ina-Kapatid-Anak-10&-45;16&-45;2012-(1-3).html (pls check 4:14)
We see Celyn's strong determination to improve her life in Kim and Xian. Xian, coming out of the shadows of a bullied childhood; the isolation of being an only child; felt the "happy vibe" which the land of her parents' birth exudes and after much thought left Daly City, California for Philippines without telling any of his friends He jump started the slogan, "It's more fun in the Philippines!", by declaring it first.
Through this nebulous haze of knowing what he did not like in the life he was leading in the U.S. of A. versus not really knowing what he wanted to do, Xian still took the "plunge" through something he at least knew he could do: Basketball which unfortunately did not pan out . This however paved his way to modelling through his discoverer and now Stylist, Mr. Ton Lao then acting and meeting Kim, all in God's will and grace. Meeting Kim in his first acting assignment, Xian calls it destiny. I call it God's Amazing Grace. Kim has a nice way of putting it and she has it on her latest IG Photo caption: "Things happen for a reason." but she has a different take on it, expanded it a bit.
CTO - chinitaprincess "God puts people in your life for a reason, and removes them for a BETTER reason." Good morning everyone!! rise and shine!! OFF TO BKK!! #work #shoot #excited Take care! 6min
Beautiful Kim, no longer the poor and downtrodden, Celyn...such good acting-some KimXis already want to adopt her and give her tons of clothes. So natural, so good, it is no wonder Kim is called the Primetime Teleserye Princess. She elevates whatever show she's in to a higher level. There is word that IKA's ratings are now in the 30's; unprecedented for its time slot of 9:30 pm. We thank the Lord for His graces. God is good all the time!
Kim seems to be wanting to put a message across the miles. Take the words "Put" and "Remove". No one has been removed except the one who walked out on Kim in 2010. Allowed by God is more like it. I believe we all know who the "better reason" is. To me, the one and the only one for Kim now and beyond is Xian Lim. I don't see anyone who can top him for Kim at this point. I take my own "plunge" for what I just said.
Mastering fear.
CTO - Xian's latest plunge... Weeeeeee!!! 3d
There are still "plunges" Xian will make in the future which would be life-changing but I will concentrate on the ones that are feasible and possible. What a huge victory for Xian! This equals his Chinita Princess' Bungee Jump not in severity of difficulty but in terms of what he must have gone through to overcome his phobia of heights; here he has no harness and no coaches. It just looks like a clean resolve to overcome a long-held fear to expunge its grip. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom . . .— Bertrand Russell Congratulations Xian!
Xian, conquering his fear of heights, taking the plunge into deep waters in between two gloriously flowing falls; wonder how it must have felt for him with the sound of rushing waters around him; the glittering water catching the rays of the noonday sun; with friends and the beloved watching. Exhilarating, for sure!
As I mentioned, this was a day of victory for Xian; a victory to add to the other victories he has had so far; his recent victory over dancing. He has broken through that--his song and dance routine in the latest Poppables prod number in ASAP Singapore proved to be his best so far. Now, it seems nothing gets in the way of Xian in his climb to success. Love conquers all; love conquers fear! As Celyn has repeatedly said, "walang problema na walang solusyon". A problem always has a solution in hand. Kim must have said to Xian, "You can do it!" or Xian's own, "Lezz do thiss"
CTO - Xian's dance moves on the runway for Mint! Gangnam or Jagger or neither...purely Xian's.

Taking another plunge...You did it, Xian!!! Wow!!!
"You can do it" must be a phrase each one uses for the other when the situation calls for it. When Kim was asked in an interview for an animal to have as a pet, whether a cat or a dog. She answered , "None of the above". She had a good scare after having been chased by a dog along with her siblings and her fear of dogs is just so that she could not find it in her to be around them. Her fear of dogs extends to cats and Xian answered correctly when asked at Gandang Gabi Vice when both he and Kim guested. Cats and her allergies are not compatible. So, there is some hard explaining to do when Kim and her niece sauntered into a pet store and Kim handled and bought a pet for her niece, Raine. Would it be fair to say her own pet dog would not be far behind? Here, Kim has taken a "plunge".
CTO - GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE!!! yesterday with my niece baby raine and look what we found!!! a super duper cutie doggie that looks like a stuff toy!!! *gigil take are everyone have a blessed sunday!!! 2d
We do not know what triggered the huge palm "caress" but it looks like Xian from his huge smile is enjoying it. "Gigil" is the word used by Kim for the pomeranian doggie--it is also a word I can use to describe what Xian must have been feeling when he touched her face...am sure, gently. I cannot think of Xian doing it any other way. Beneath the trees, under the watchful eye of what look like workers or actors making do as "workers" and a man holding an umbrella for the two who was conveniently looking the other way, Xian took courage. First time for Xian to do this in public and Kim looking as if she were enjoying it too. So used to seeing Kim turning away public displays of Xian's affection-- the fresh air, the simple folk, the warm sun must have released Kim's inhibitions. Xian's fondness for Kim unleashed so naturally as their breathing all that invigorating fresh mountain air. Curious to know what triggered the smooth move --something Kim must have said, maybe?
CTO - Looking through with the Eyes of Love by Melissa Manchester
CTO- The eyes and the smile egging, "you can do it" allays the fears.
Overcoming phobia. At times "Looking at/through the Eyes of Love " can release one's inhibitions; in Kim's case here, her fear of dogs and to stretch it further, her fear of getting into a new relationship because of a bad experience. Much the same way as it acts as a motivator, fear can serve as a relationship inhibitor. An extreme fear of dependency–or of repeating past bad relationship experiences–may even keep someone from getting close to others all together. Common fears of embarrassment can make social interaction difficult and fears of being hurt (often again) can make even connecting with others on a basic level difficult. http://www.withoutbeingcrushed.com/2010/11/10/fear-as-a-motivator-and-inhibitor/ Love conquers all; love conquers fear or fears.
So what is love; this love which conquers all, conquers all fears. Kim and Xian both are shining examples of love; they move and talk as people who are loving of friends and family; they do not speak ill, they take criticisms with such aplomb, one would think they are made of sterner stuff than the rest of humanity; they are forgiving and do not take offense easily; they conceal their hurts and are very much aware of their present moment. Speaking of the present moment, here's Xian reaching out for an umbrella to shield Kim from the harsh sun which she's allergic to.
CTO - Chivalrous Xian for her Lady in Distress.
CTO - The Knight in Shining, Shimmering Umbrella acting P.A. to his ladylove.
Kim in character perhaps as Celyn has an uncovered open-mouthed yawn that Liam has failed to notice or perhaps chooses to ignore. Looks like they have kept the aso't pusa stance here. Good for them. Switching personalities can be very hard; might as well stay in character; or are they just probably bored, tired, sleepy depleted of energy or all of the adjectives mentioned. Enchong and Maja are also looking lethargic. Rain or shine, Xian is ready with his borrowed umbrella
Whatever this taping is of, am sure our actors will look in tip-top shape despite the craving for one's bed to sleep the afternoon away. Celyn will be her usual loud self when the camera rolls. That's what acting is all about.
Who says showbiz is glamorous? Despite their characters on IKA, Xian has remained ever the gentleman. Way to go Xian! Poor Kim, the "lagare" from shooting to taping and the "noise" surrounding that must have added to her sleep debt and she's now showing its signs.
Here's Xian's prescription to dispel the heat, the languorous air that makes a sleepyhead out of a hyperactive Celyn/Kim.
CTO: Swimmm swimmm swimmm :-))) 1d
the afternoon sun; twin waterfalls and their soothing, relaxing rushing sound; the
green foliage and the beautiful people seizing the day or what's left of it!
Carpe diem!
The heat dissipates, fatigue is dispelled, sleepiness driven away. Everything is well in the Chiu-Lim universe. The KimXi and the IKA world is back in groove.
CTO - blessy austria @lessthanthreekx SPACE spells the difference between Maja & Kim's pose #batisIGpic #InaKapatidAnak CT
The gap is now bridged - Kim and Xian or Xian and Kim in their "No space allowed" poses, the order of the day in Kim and Xian's offcam lives now.
CTO: Energies restored and the smiles appear!
Another way is to sit along the riverbank in shallow water and engage in long, lazy and lovely conversation with the beloved. Kim and Xian have always been finding ways to be together even in the middle of a madding crowd that surrounds them at all hours. May it be the ASAP Stage, the Taping Standby Area, the long walk back to the Dressing Room, the Airport Luggage Cart, their respective Instagrams whom they now easily like and comment on, their taping locations, etc.
It appears that the Great Divide has been crossed and Kim and/or Xian are finding space where there used to be no space. The "apple of Xian's eye", Kim Chiu, however vascillates between being assertive-aggressive to shy and hesitant in committing herself to whatever she and Xian have; something which baffles the fans, no end, I can only say, Kim Chiu can be so Kimberly Sue at times; this, Xian also so understands.

CTO - Is this Xian's way of saying Thank you? xianlimm The apple of my eye...
Take note of the Tupperware connection. Xian at his creative best here; his eyes too being one of Kim's fave part of Xian's body and we know that the other one is his chest. Chinitaprincess puts her Like on this IG Ok like na ni kimmy... Hihihi.. Gudnight.. :)) 16h and take note, Kim only put out this comment two hours later: baon ko yan eh!!!:p kaya pala nawawala hahaha:p 14h
Kim has cried "wolf" too often about her giving food to Xian, her co-posters in Xian's IG seem not to believe that Xian took it from her: Si kim talaga kanina nya pa ni like ngayon lang napansin na kanya un hahaha 13h
Kim is a very caring person and Xian is one person I believe she cares for deeply now and knowing how Xian goes for healthy food, I can only believe that this is one of Kim's "tupperware" lunch or dinner dessert for Xian. Nice try, Kim. Well, whatever side of the fence one is on, that is how the belief swings. I go for the positive one: that Kim gives food to Xian regularly and that these cut apples in their trademark Tupperware is one of them. In this, Kim still has to take the necessary "plunge". Her action speaks louder than the words she writes or utters.
CTO - Xian chooses to keep his peace as the night falls. XIAN LIM @XianLimm
Night in the forest http://.
What a beautiful shot! The darkened leaves, seemingly in repose, after the hot grueling sun, the trees in the middle bathed in the light, typical tropical thick foliage which to Xian's untrained eye are trees in a forest; but having them in the middle of a coconut plantation means they're not but because he says so, we envision some jungle animals lurking in the dark.
We hear with him the night sounds; the crickets and their intermittent mating calls; The sound emitted by crickets is commonly referred to as chirping; the scientific name is stridulation. Only the male crickets chirp.. (Wikipedia) the owl's hoot and the deafening silence that induce sleep; nothing of the usual city sounds of cars and trucks, blaring radios, tv sets, noisy neighbors, etc.; even the cold that seeps into ones bones perhaps makes Xian think of the land of his birth, Daly City, California which like San Francisco has a perpetually cool weather with the lows averaging in the 50s and the highs in the 70s (F)

One common denominator with his lady love who also had her night to remember for a competing brand, Bench. Xian, the model.

CTO - The Ramp Model Par Excellence...
Xian looks so strong, confident, eyes determined; he is a man with a goal in mind and sure as the sun rises tomorrow that he will reach it. Xian, no longer shy and diffident; he is in his element here; his good looks enhanced by this new-found confidence no money can buy. So proud of Xian for what he has become and achieved but I know I could not be any prouder than Mom Mary Anne nor Kim! Xian, you have arrived! With your top-rating teleserye and another movie with Kim, your second record album, your compositions, your magazine covers, your endorsements and your lady love, you are much blessed!
Kim Chiu, in the disparate paths that she and Xian took found themselves as the endgame for My Binondo Girl; a teleserye that ran from August 11, 2011 to January 20, .2012. In the bonding that occurs among the stars of a show, Kim and Xian discovered a lot about each other. They mentioned this to Kris Aquino in their last guesting on KrisTV, October 1, 2012.
The fans see their closeness and if one pays particular attention we can also discover much of what they share. Indeed, Kim and Xian share similar pursuits. They model--print, commercial and ramp; they sing and have one gold record each; Xian is now starting to dance with his Poppables numbers where Kim is a mainstay at ASAP; they host, Xian more so but Kim also has the seniority at ASAP; Kim plays the guitar and is into sketching where Xian has the edge as he plays a whole lot of other instruments and his sketching is more studied where Kim is freehand and does not vary from her favorite subject - butterflies.

Kim Chiu was at her best and sexiest look last night, probably the best-looking woman at the said Bench show. Even Kapuso star Bubbles Paraiso took notice of how hot this Kapamilya star was.

They are homebodies and are both shy, Xian even more so; he is gradually stepping out of his shell with a little help from his friend who also happens to be his love.
True to their being actors, they both love watching movies--personal preferences so unlike this time; Xian goes for horror films while Kim everything else perhaps except horror stories.
Xian is techie but Kim whom he mentors would probably not be far behind. They are both generous to a fault but are reluctant to reveal this side of themselves and prefer to keep their gifts or charities under wraps. It could perhaps be just some apples in a Tupperware or something whose value is as huge as "pangdownpayment ng house"( per Kris A. on Kris TV); to them both the cost is immaterial; what matters is that they are given with a lot of love and and a lot of loving thought--loving thought, word and deed combined-- all coming from the heart.

Kim and Xian, beautiful couple, kindred spirits what a grace from God that you have connected and are now making beautiful music together even in the pictures you post; the music of love seems to emanate from you; making those who see your posted pictures become more enamored with you and the world around you.
These two loving individuals, Kim and Xian, have earned a lot of admiration from fans all over the globe. These fans are fans of the KimXi mystique, product of the collision of these stars in My Binondo Girl which released some love-dust into KimXilandia rendering everyone within its radius reeling from the "shock and awe" of seeing the two doing anything together even with such a mundane thing as looking into each other's eyes, is enough to send the KimXis into KimXi heaven.
CTO - The "Look" and The "Blow"!
Xian had a blow to the solar plexus when Kim caught that same look in February, 2012 at a Star Studio Magazine signing. Xian was also told by Kim, " Oy, huag naman mo akong tingnan ng ganyan"; "please don't look at me that way" at the Team KimXi get together at Sofitel in January, also caught on tape. So, what happened between then and now? A good question and a good answer would be, "Our Chinitaprincess is healed from her hurts and is now returning the love. Love begets love.
Fans - Group, individual; family friends and their preferences.
CTO - Xian, favored by the Chius as well as the leader of the KimXi pack, Mommy Evs for Kimmy. mommy evs @eva_exnijetli
deserving si Kim ng love ng lahat...hindi lang dahil sa mukha nyang maganda... mamahalin mo sya dahil sa kanyang inner beauty...who also says: mommy evs @eva_exnijetli
Basta ako, hindi ko hinahangad na maging friend nila, i will always be... A FAN.
My labs... chinitaprincess & @xianlimm ... Pero saan ka ba nakatingin xian? (Kay Kimmy, kaya?)
Mommy Evs, the ultimate fan, followed them to Singapore for their ASAP show
with two other KimXis, JP and Monica.

#KimXi are a lovely couple. Hope & pray na magkatuluyan sila@SueLimUy @paoacflores @lurkerfankx @KV22_KimXi@raquel_rosal @lessthanthreekx
All KimXis, Tropang KimUy, etc. are of one mind and heart as Mr. Rico Hizon. There is the hope and the prayer for Kim and Xian to end up together for all eternity. They are such a good match even their own relatives approve of one for the other. Very high approval rating comes from Mom Mary Anne for Kim and a strong nod of approval from Sis Lakam and the rest of the Chiu family and extended families for Xian; the surrogate Mama of the Chiu family, Lakam, spokesperson for the family could not have favored Xian more than in her last phonepatch for Kris TV 10-01-12.

basta dun ako sa taga IKA. #alamnahuh ? Oct 21
Stella Sy, Mint owner and Xian's strong support, along with husband Jopet Sy. Xian is a very effective Mint endorser and is much loved by the Sys for who and what he is-loving and respectful. He wears and promotes Mint on Twitter so religiously and he also gets terrific results. Serious about work and serious about relationships, that is Xian. Here Kim and Xian are so alike. They do not want to play around, especially not with love. They are into it for the long haul, for keeps. Let us help pray with them that this shall be so for Kim and Xian-to have a love that will last forever.
Kim really in an unprecedented move - congratulating Mint's Jopet and Stella Sy for their debut into Philippine Fashion Week. Pepsi Herrera was also with Xian and Jopet Sy. Chinitaprincess commenting on two photos with Xian in them. I just have to repeat this to believe it.
Family, friends and Kim and Xian fans are on the same wavelength. They all say Kim and Xian are right for each other. Kim and Xian are so blessed. Not so many who are in a relationship are blessed this way. Imagine having a blanket approval from both sides of the family, add to that the friends and fans who are also rooting for them to be together for life.
Kim and Xian are only into their 2nd teleserye but they have practically changed the fandom landscape. Some of these fans are from the Asian Telenovela sector. They are discriminating, smart and discerning. May this type fans continue to be discriminating and continue to patronize Ina, Kapatid, Anak; proving to one and all that yes, there are Philippine stars who can rival the best there are in the Asia Telenovela world.
As Kim and Xian are bonding and bonding really well, there is this wish that Xian could go Bangkok to have two more days with Kim before his Teleserye Bida Tour 2012 on the 27th. May this wish come true.
There are telling signs and the inner glow and serenity Kim and Xian project is priceless. They thrive on the love, care and attention they give to each other and we fans thrive along with them. "Nandito lang kami...nandito lang kami, hindi kami aalis." We're just here, we're just here, we won't leave. (Xian mode.)
From darkness into light, Kim and Xian go, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, confident and strong, no more fears in God's will and grace, always. Love is grand. God is good!
CTO Only you by The Platters.
