When words are...

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart. - Helen Keller

CTO - Look at the guy offstage, towards the right, smiling widely, mesmerized as everyone else outside the perimeter  at the sight of something wonderful, a beautiful thing going on between the two onstage, "felt with the heart".  Kim and Xian, the thousands looking at you fade away like in a mist as you gaze into each other's eyes and get lost in them in a world of love's making. What a wonderful world you must be in and of the thousands, one is closely caught on cam relishing the magic moment while the rest behind him have their hearts a-flutter as ours do just watching you.

                                         CTO  Lost in your Eyes by Debbie Gibson

There is a world juxtaposed to the real world of Kim and Xian - a world of show and tell; show business and makebelieve.  There is so much of the two worlds meshing together that Kim and Xian resolve to set the two apart.  The fans who follow them, at their heels almost, going to their tapings, interacting with them, see the distinction and even we lesser mortals who only see their offcam photos as they slice some time for their personal jaunts, see snippets of the real people that they are , Kimberly and Alexander - simple, easy to please, fun-loving, youthful and clearly in-like, if not in love!

KimXi :At First Sight.  

Kim of Xian: "Sino sya?" - 2008. 

Xian on Kim:  "She was in a purple blouse and jeans, her hair in  curls." - 2008. 

Remarkable. 

CTO - Xian, playing the role of a wedding photographer at the wedding of  main protagonists, Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson in the Pinoy remake of Korean TV series My Girl. He caught the attention of Alex Gonzaga in their scene together and, on the side and for real, the eye of Kim Chiu who wondered who this newcomer  could be who merited several closeups in his cameo role done on the last taping day of  the soap she topbilled.  

"Sino sya?", Kim wondered aloud.    Tall, fair, Chinito and handsome, Xian Lim, all of 18 years old and fresh from California proved to be a magnet to women with his spare frame and smiling countenance even then.  Kim must have touched base with her inner self, to the time when she boldly announced to her housemates the physical aspects  of her Ideal Man while at PBB  House in 2006 when she was only 16:  "Matangkad, Maputi, Matangos ang ilong at Chinito,"   translated, "Tall, Fair, high-bridged nose, and Chinito". Xian fits the bill to a T.

Unforgettable. CTO - Kim in her purple blouse, jeans and curls, with her bright eyes and smiles; here with the press. Long-legged, lean and lovely with   a bubbly personality that scintillates; an innocence of youth matched with  kindheartedness and humility; a beauty inside and out captivating everyone that comes around her circle of energy and vitality!  

There must be something about Kim that somehow had her image imprinted in Xian's memory bank to be retrieved more than three years later leaving Kim quite amazed as she was with Xian in the My Binondo Girl interview in 2011 when he  told the reporter what  Kim wore and how her hair was , first time they met. 

At First Solo Date:  March 16, 2012, Brian Mcknight concert at Araneta Coliseum that had the showbiz world abuzzed since the two were unchaperoned.   First and last time  to ever go out without a friend or a relative from then on. The prying eyes and the Press must have been "traumatic" to two very private individuals wanting to keep their private sorties, just that, private.  

Romance in the songs of Brian Mcknight ushered in  a new level of friendship for the two.  Ten days later in their Hawaii Star Magic Tour, Kim sported a flower in her left ear, marking her in Hawaiian custom and tradition as, TAKEN.

   CTO - Kim, face bare of makeup; wearing a shy smile; Xian, looking happy.

                               CTO Back at One by Brian Mcknight

Persistence and perseverance along with consistency  mark the nature of Xian's pursuit of Kim and this song, which is his favorite Brian McKnight song, has words that perhaps were still  unspoken and unheard  by the object of his pursuit then, at least not in the fashion it was written and sang.  When the tongue is tied, say it with music.  Now I understand the "You" Harana made  Christmas, 2011 using a Church Choir for Kim!  Xian, Ikaw Na!                        

                        CTO Marry your Daughter by Brian Mcknight                      

Is Kim in a wishful thinking mode here when she chose this song for her favorite, of the numerous Brian Mcknight melodies out there. 

Out of one's mundane choices, unfettered by censors, one's  psyche reveals itself,

a great desire  surfaces giving the multitude an insight of one's beautiful dream.

Perhaps there is  a longing for her estranged father who has been away for some time which we  now also know is all of five years.  

Reconciliation with her own Papa Chiu and his new family in the presence of Xian bespeaks of the level of importance and weight and value of Xian in Kim's life. 

Kim's  introduction of a love to another love,  a year and two months after she confided her fave Brian Mcknight song, Marry your Daughter, to the Press has now opened possibilities of the song getting fulfilled in Kim's life; granting that all the forces are now aligning.  

"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.--Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist"

CTO - Kim and Papa William with Xian in the background speaking to Chiu family members.  May, 2013.

CTO Prospective Ninong Rico Hizon is sending some smoke signals all the way from Singapore.  Indeed the universe is conspiring to help things happen once one floats a grand wish into the atmosphere.  Did the balloons do it with a change in name from Celyn to Kim?  Only the "events can teach us in every hour".

  

First God sends The Man suiting the physical specification with something extra on the side: "Funny, thoughtful, caring and a hopeless romantic plus plus." 

Then God, by His grace and will, allows the supporting characters to get together in His good time; the biological father to be back into the fold with a prospective godfather waiting "impatiently" in the wings for the momentous event to happen. 

God aligns the forces, the will for the event must however come from the man, Xian and his ladylove, Kim, first before God will allow it.  God after all has given man free will. Then if man's will is that of God's, graces will flow.  All in God's will and grace.

"Tall, fair-complected, has a high-bridged nose and Chinito (from PBB-2006); in February 2012, she added: "faithful, maalaga, mataas ang respeto sa pamilya, maputi" or "faithful, caring, possesses high respect for family, fair-complected." for the qualities she looks for in a man.    CTO

What qualities does Kim Chiu look for in a guy? "Siyempre, yung faithful. Maalaga, mataas ang respeto sa pamilya...Maputi," said the young actress.  http://www.pep.ph/guide/guide/9774/kim-chiu-says-her-ideal-man-is-faithful-and-maalaga

CTO  Kim's Epitome of her Ideal Man - Xian Lim. 

" Tall, fair-complected, has a high-bridged nose, Chinito; faithful, caring, bearing high respect for family". Xian at Araneta Coliseum for the Brian Mcknight Concert-3-16-12.

The Ideal Man comes in plus plus. "Funny, thoughtful, caring, a hopeless romantic; si Xian, napakabait", continues Kim. Lately, Kim adds, "Gifted" as in loaded with talent; multitalented in his music - singing, composing, playing a variety of musical instruments; sports - basketball; lately, extreme ones like bungee jumping, skydiving, parasailing; then acting, hosting, rapping.  

CTO -He is also good at making Kim happy, making her feel special and making her feel her true worth. He is also well-packaged according to those who have seen Xian in person, he is described as "super-guapo; a Greek god come to earth".

Xian has recently posted a quote that perhaps tells Kim and everyone to find happiness in themselves and not to rely on another person for one's own happiness; almost like saying, "Life is what we make it".   CTO

In the school of hard knocks where people do not find anything in their environment, be it people or things, that can  make them happy, they still find happiness in themselves and radiate this to the people around them.  Kim is this way.  

For a short spell though she experienced some great hurt that shattered her self-esteem, making her feel "ugly".  

In God's almighty grace, when she felt at her ugliest, Yes Magazine voted her their Most Beautiful Star for the Year among 100 chosen ones (2010).  

In mid2012, she announced, to her closest friends then after,  on Kris TV (August 3, 2012) the good news that she has come out from under  the dark cloud that she had been under for the better part of two years back into the light of her being!  

We all know how Kim has risen from the depths of the world of her own making to join the world of the living again -- a new love in her life has come in the person of Xian Lim; the man who was there as the third one in the order of priorities for the series My Binondo Girl and ended up on top instead.  They say destiny, I say, once again, God's grace!  

If not for this fluke in the order of things, Xian could not have spent more time with Kim; would not have discovered, the mystique that is Kimmy; the girl-woman who never made herself out as The Kim Chiu but one who was according to him, the "definition of sweet"; "one who had a smile on her face after 24 hours of work"; a nurturing co-star who allowed him to deliver his best; humble and approachable and bubbly and when asked what he liked most of her, he quickly answered, "...her personality, her eyes, her smile..."  

Xian never meant to fall in love. My Binondo Girl was his first Prime Time  Teleserye with him as one of three leading men and he just wanted to focus on work.  Knowing more of Kim made him want to see more of her even after My Binondo Girl ended in mid-January, 2012; this  he told D'Buzz Toni Gonzaga who made him confess to a , "sobrang laki, sobrang laking pagtingin" for Kim; the "Pakpak" offer and the promise to be faithful to Kim (made to Kris Aquino who professed her own love for Kim and told him that,"sayo ko lang sya nakitang ngumingiti). 

Constancy is Xian's best trait.  He has been consistent in showing Kim how he cares for her and Kim has blossomed under the Xian "sunshine"!

CTO Beautiful Kim.

The beautiful glow coming from within can only be from  love, peace and inner joy.  Xian, thank you.  God is good all the time!  We know that your happiness is also from Kimmy's own; a never-ending cycle of love that mirrors God's own love for you who are prayerful believers in God's goodness.  We are happy where you are happy.  Team Happiness!


Thanks be to God for this man named Xian; he who in his quiet, persistent way has emerged to be the "Pakpak", the wing that Kim needed to fly again. Now, she is flying and how!


Xian has mentioned this creative energy in Kim to Kris Aquino on his 10-01-12 interview, saying that he has never seen   Kim with the blahs; she was always up there from the git-go, all enthusiastic and ready to tackle the day's activities with gusto.  

One beautiful thing that impressed Xian of Kim is her ability not to let her personal angst interfere with work.  Professionalism at its highest is what Kim has been noted for and this can be seen in Ina, Kapatid, Anak , their teleserye after My Binondo Girl.  

CTO - Kim in the light, performing a lyrical dance at ASAP for her IKA Finale prod with Maja S. 6-9-13.  Kim is impressive here with her projection, her skill and her grace.


Though Xian seeks to make Kim happy, he is the first to say that, she "completes his day" , that his fatigue goes away around Kim and, am sure, her nurturing and energizing  ways, "nawawala ang pagod ko pag nakikita ko si Kim", says Xian.

Xian is also such a positive influence towards Kim that in commiserating with her inadequacies, he managed to build up her confidence toward people and even animals.  

Kim is now raising 3 pomeranians; is now at home in Conversational English; reading, and even talking to Xian's Mom which Kim found such difficulty in even as late as October, 2012. (10-01-12 KrisTV).  Kim is now free from the shyness that comes when Xian thrusts the phone at her to speak to his Mom.

  http://www.examiner.com/article/xian-lim-is-happy-and-inspired-because-of-kim-chiu The mom revealed that she is very proud of her son, she also said that there is nothing more she can ask for. "I’m well-blessed with a wonderful son, and as long as he’s happy, that’s all that matters to me," Mary Anne added. She continues, according to her, she sees a different glow in Xian's eyes and that is because of Kim Chiu. In the end, she said that she is hoping for her son to get Kim Chiu's approval immediately.

MANILA – After eight months of being together almost every day while working on “Ina Kapatid Anak,” Xian Lim still refused to reveal the real score between him and leading lady Kim Chiu. In a live interview with “The Buzz” on Sunday, Lim said they do not want to label their “friendship,” saying what’s more important is they are special to each other. “She is special in every way. Si Kim kapag nakikita ko, parang complete na 'yung araw ko. This past year, every day kami nagkikita. Ang masasabi ko lang, maski pagod kami sa taping, parang nawawala lahat 'yun kapag nakikita ko si Kim,” he said. He added: “Si Kim kapag nakikita ko, from a scale of one to ten tapos yung scale paikot-ikot pa yun. We don’t want to put any labels to anything. Every friendship is special.” Lim and Chiu have consistently been linked with each other since they were paired in the ABS-CBN series “My Binondo Girl” in 2012. ‘Ina Kapatid Anak’ success Meanwhile, both Lim and Chiu are grateful to the unwavering support of their fans for “Ina Kapatid Anak.”

CTO  at Republiq - Party for Aiai de las Alas 21st birthday party  January, 2012.  


There is a simplicity in Kim that we see and in  the pomp and pageantry of showbusiness, she stands out!  She goes out with Xian, barefaced except for some light lipstick, with hair tied in a pony tail, no-fuss wear except for some high wedge shoes in deference to Xian's height and to Xian's eyes still ends up the most beautiful girl in the crowd amidst fully made-up ladies leading one of them to lament on twitter that Kim, fresh-faced, no make-up, glowed and was the most beautiful one among them, echoing Xian! Plus she added, she also had Xian's  undivided attention.  

The simplicity is not only in dress but greatly and more so in her demeanor.  There is a straightforwardness that do not allow for misunderstanding.  A person would know where he or she is  with her.   

She easily laughs and maintains a level of positivism that amazes people around her. Stress is there and de-stressing has been her forte lately with her El Kabayo, Subic, etc. jaunts.

CTO - Kim shares Xian's sense of adventure. Just a week ago, she, along with Xian in Subic, jumped off a tugboat with a height equivalent to a 3-story building or approximately 30 feet into the water.  She also rode a Banana Boat with him with Mommy Mary Anne (Xian's Mom) up front.  


Kim gravitates to the people who make her life less burdensome; though she does not shy away from the burden related with work.  She suffers it and fulfills the job; a maturity and responsibility that is honed by adversity and the age-old goal of helping the family; to even go to a point of not taking a vacation in the first 4-5 years of her showbiz life for fear that she might not have any work when she came back.

Over and above the words that Kim and Xian could not articulate regarding the status of their relationship; their action more than compensate for the lack.  In the recent, Market Market Ina, Kapatid, Anak Finale Show, Sunday, June 9, 2013, Kim, as she sang and  moved across the stage and down to the crowd, she paused before Mommy Mary Anne's (Xian's Mom) seat on the first row  and kissed her before  the thousands of fans  that were there.  This unprecedented act from Kim, unsolicited and done while she was performing has surprised long-time Kim followers including myself.  Borrowing Kim's words in her 5-26-12 Balitang America interview with Henni Espinosa, "That says it all".


CTO - Kissing Mommy Mary Anne on .56; Kim, a children's magnet.
  

When the question made to Xian by D' Buzz Charlene regarding the status of his relationship with Kim was left hanging for the next gap and for that question to be answered only  by a "Yes or No", a number of KimXi followers on my Twitter timeline erupted with, "whatever you say, just say it as long as it is not a "Yes" or words to that effect.

In the showbiz world where fiction is sometimes accepted as real while  reality is masked to be the other way around; most of us innocent bystanders in the world of make believe can be so frustrated over this order of things.  The line at times between fact and fiction  becomes thin that some of us root for realities that are not realities but man-made ones.  

Kim and Xian are real.  They have been exclusively dating since 2011.  Xian is not after any woman other than Kim; Kim is also seeing no other man other than Xian.  She now has a Promise Ring coming from him; with perhaps promises exchanged with one another.  Kim and Xian are happy being together with words like, "She (referring to Kim) completes me"; "all  my  fatigue drifts away at the sight of Kim"; "on a scale of 1-10, Kim is a 10".  To Kim, Xian is "everything".  Even the kids Sam and Sab Confesor think of them as a couple giving them a gift to share. "Everything" covers everything.   When words fail; let action take over.

CTO  Team Amazing.  Team Everything.   Team Happiness - Kim and Xian.



CTO  Kim and Xian with Sam and Sab Confesor - two little girls enamored with them.  Looking like family!  Kids mimicking Kimmy's pose.  Xian looking like a concerned Dad. I know, too early. Welcome to the world of make-believe where the love is real and the care and thoughtfulness for each other and for the visiting kids as real as can be.  Kids sense the goodness of heart of the adults around them.  Kim and Xian passed the test.


We are transitioning from the  daily teleserye  to @xianlimm and @prinsesachinita Twitters for an update of the two whom we will miss sorely after their soap IKA winds up in the next three days!  

A number of us low-techie KimXis have joined the Twitter bandwagon PORDALAB! Let us make them feel this love by having KimXi win these polls that have been mushrooming around us foremost of which is the OMG Yahoo Awards - Loveteam of the Year; Teleserye of the Year and the Pep.ph categories.  

Let us also support their movie and pray that same would be a blockbuster as Kim has wished for ever since she started making movies.  Xian is of the same mindset am sure.

CTO Kim Chiu - everyone's Chinita Princess - a potpourri of delight; a good mix of flowers, herbs, spice and everything nice ; aspects of her  we see more of  lately in tantalizing combination true of a grown-up woman of 23.

CTO Kim's Chinito Prince - Xian Lim seen here in a pensive,  serious mien   seldom seen in his photos as he also easily smiles to the camera. Quiet and contemplative, people perceive him as standoffish though this is also a trait, the King of Comedy, Dolphy, had all his life. There is a truthfulness in Xian's bearing; a  "take me as I am" facade that Kim has pierced through so that in his latest photos, we notice a loosening up in Xian's demeanor and stance; Kim credited with humanizing her Superhero Xian.

CTO - Xian in his New Normal - the smile that reaches the eyes, so engaging and open; "standoffishness" giving way to openness;  niceness shining through!

CTO - The veil is pierced; the coldness warmed, the KimXi public going gaga over this openness now visible; thanks to his  ladylove, Kim.

What is Kim Chiu made of?  "Sugar and spice and everything nice".

We saw a fiery Kim in early January, fearlessly uttering a statement which has since been confirmed by the person she addressed it to  on National TV;  close to 5 months after Kim said it.

Kim has not added to her contention since then but what she said   has been dissected, thrown about, misinterpreted, creating a media frenzy which in the last five long months has brewed this clear agitation between the two camps with Kim and Xian followers "shouting" to  high heavens to spare Kim from being dragged further into the "mess".

CTO - Kim and/or Xian followers united (9 groups) under one banner to rally behind them in one show of force at SM Novaliches  1-13-13; 4 days after Kim"s controversial comment to the Press. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFyavj3epsw ;   -  Kim's arrival.

When "attacked" the fan groups  rallied together buoyed by the  truth to the saying that "In Union there is Strength".  

To us ordinary mortals, what a relief the following quote has for us who encounter situations similar to Kim's experience wherein our hurts might get  buried instead of vented out for fear of reprisals. Buried hurts can be unhealthy. Only in being  true to ourselves can we be set free. Hurray for Kim and her courage to expose her hurt under the  caustic eye of public opinion, to ventilate it that it may quickly heal. Now we see a new Kim, glowing and all-forgiving, staying away from toxicities in God's will and grace.     CTO

Xian's response to queries are still cryptic though the trait most noted by reporters is his consistency in making Kim happy, feel special.

March came with a bang with the news of a movie for Kim and Xian under the helm of noted female director, Direk Joyce Bernal. The movie entitled "Bakit di ka Crush ng Crush Mo" is an adaptation of a novel by Ramon Bautista who also appears in the film.  Kimxilandia exalted.  http://www.examiner.com/article/kim-chiu-and-xian-lim-are-doing-a-movie-together-under-star-cinema 

The exaltation segued into  the Easter Holidays as KimXi fans learned that yes Kim and Xian vacationed together at the Eskaya Beach Resort in Bohol; four days of sea,  sun, and worship among family and friends. Kim also released on instagram  a photo of herself in a two-piece suit.  A first  for Kim. A First among Many Firsts!

CTO Kim Chiu, all smiles, as she recounted to D'Buzz,  her Easter vacation  in  EsKaya Beach Resort, Bohol with Xian,  her siblings and a family friend.

Even D'Buzz' Boy Abunda had this to say to Robi Domingo when he openly said  his celebrity crush is Kim Chiu.  Boy A. : Talaga?  Kamusta kayo ni Xian? OK naman?     CTO

  April, 

Kim's birthday month spawned birthday celebrations that started as early as March and stretched into May.  A major explosion or PASABOG came in form of, again, Kim making an out-of character admission of Xian's birthday gift for her; an earring and ring set; the ring being a Promise Ring!

This KimXiquake jolted every KimXi fan  from Aparri to Jolo to Timbuktu or wherever  TFC beams and wherever KimXi fans abound!

The merry month of May rolled around with Kim unmasked to everyone who has followed her closely since her PBB days to be a fiercer, bolder Kim in terms of showing the world who her Guy is and this guy is no other than  Xian Lim!

 CTO Xian, in step with Kim towards a future full of hope and promise. Xian is not any less open compared as shown in his  birthday  greeting to his Mommy Mary Anne, May 31st.

Xian's greeting brought a number of  KimXis, mothers and non-mothers alike , teary-eyed though this did not dull the sharp eyes of some or this particular "twitterer" or IG poster to highlight an emoticon in the bottom of  this birthday message which  showed a baby, a Grandma  and a heart.

Xian who is adept at sending subliminal messages is quite open in his wishes for  his Mommy Mary Anne, not with  words but with images which "speak a thousand  words."  Xian, UNDERSTOOD!       CTO

Openness multiplied equal a revelation. When the mind of one connects with another to give us synchronized images for our brain to untangle and conclude from; we can also surmise that the parties are telling us or trying to tell us something  not with words but with images or action. What they are exactly wanting to convey we can only take a guess. Kim and Xian say or particularly,  Xian says that we are free to speculate. So, speculate  we go.  CTO   It is Mommy Mary Anne's  birthday and it is Kim who has a guest in Xian's tent!  What does that say? Level of comfortability- Extremely High.

There is a clear invitation for Kim to join him but we can only speculate as what this was for.  As of this writing, no photos have surfaced on the  celebration of Mommy Mary Anne's birthday  despite the vigilance and due diligence  of fellow KimXis.

We are free to speculate as Xian says but his privacy regarding family and Kim are tightly guarded as Fort Knox except that Kim and Xian also want to make their fans happy and those are us!

A happy fan is a contented and appreciative one so they throw us something to nibble  on once in a great while to make us blissfully happy. It also takes so little to make us happy; just seeing them happy makes us happy.

On the happy day of Mommy Mary Anne's birthday Kim had a visitor that took over her Instagram and posted a message that could only be done by someone who wanted to ruin Kim's day, her IG and her reputation.  She or he did not succeed; with a little help from Kim's friends and colleagues, equilibrium was restored. Whew!

To what great lengths do people go to  make other people unhappy!  Such is life, a measure of happiness and of sadness happening almost simultaneously; it is how we deal with the good and the bad in our lives  that guarantee our  gracious survival!

To the good things happening, that we may  remain grounded and humble; and to the bad ones which befall us, that we may have an attitude of forgiveness and positivity; even Kim blessed her hacker!

We rely on God the Great Balancer.  Thanks be to God!  I believe that Kim and Xian  will come out of Ina, Kapatid, Anak smelling like roses! Onward to a movie that would spell B L O C K  B U S T E R  in God's will and grace.

We see the righteousness of God in the lives of Kim and Xian.  Thank God for His graces!

Kim and Xian are reaping a good harvest from what they have  sown - sowing the seeds of truthfulness and goodness everywhere they go, they now have a top-rating teleserye together in their filmography; a soon to be shown movie; a string of endorsements, their own discovered love for each other; international shows and their greatest asset, the , shall I say it, millions of fans who adore them together or individually.

This love from the fans comes from the happiness gained by watching their work, snippets of their loves and lives. Here God rewarding Kim for her seriousness at her craft in juggling tapings, shootings, weekend shows, out of town mall shows, etc. without skipping a beat!

Goodness begets goodness; love begets love! Love for God; love for  family; love for work; love for each other; love for friends and fans! What a good God we serve!  He listens to the cries of His people!

                             CTO - God will make a way by Don Moen

The Man of Kim's Choice, Xian Lim,   openly displays closeness  on ASAP18  Chat Lounge -June 2, 2013 with Kim.  Pssst Kim, you're on National TV!  Kim is datChiu? Xian, don't look too happy!  Where is the Xian of old? Oh, okay, filed away under No Lovelife Yet!  CTO                                             Another one...here, notice Robi Domingo and the new crop of Star Magic talents surrounding them. Here  they are lost in their own world and are, literally, in a tight squeeze too. Xian, siksik is the word!  We , KimXis, are not complaining! CTO  CTO - Kim sandwiched between her love and her "crusher" Robi D. made clear in no uncertain terms who her preferred one is!  Notice the overlapping shoulders, the "lambing" and the laughter; telling everyone within a mile radius and thousands of virtual miles away that there is NO MORE VACANCY in Kim's heart; that her heart belongs to the one she got a Promise Ring from and to whom she also exchanged love promises with - Xian Lim! 

CTO Kim making sumbong.  Xian trying to hold his peace with one word, "Grabe" but the eyes have it!  Robi, please  read the signs.

CTO Kim to Xian: "Crush mo ba ako"  Xian: a huge "Wow" and a finger-poke right on her outfit's cutout - skin to skin! on 2:27

Kim has broken through her mask of shyness, her anxieties as to what people might think of what she says and does; there is  a liberation of sorts and even if we see some signs of her innate shyness surfacing, we also see glimpses of the courage she now possesses in the light of the love that Xian expresses daily towards her!  She and Xian are now one of heart, mind and soul and hurting one, hurts the other just as praising one is also praising the other!



       CTO - Is he looking at Kim?  I don't know but he certainly has The Look.

                   

                          CTO - Kim, the object of Xian's affection.

CTO..Xian looking extra-proud of his honey-babe,  Kim with her happy-from-within vibe. Before their IKA prod on ASAP18.

In their IKA production number on ASAP18 last Sunday alongside the Maja and Enchong  love team, Kim and Xian showed the ease and comfortability in their behavior towards one another.  It was a lovely song of friendship and love titled Umbrella that they did justice to .  Sparkling eyes!   Gorgeous Pair!  CTO

Playing beautiful music together, Kim and Xian and their beautiful smiles. On IKA downtime.  Note, the signs of Mio's cruelty on her leg.  Kim, you can switch tears and pain  into smiles in one fell swoop around Xian.


The month of June bolted in; it did not creep like some lazy months do. Suddenly, our calendars say we are on the 6th month of the year.

Fast and furious it seems and with mixed emotions we let the thought sink in that there are only two weeks left of IKA and the daily show we watch, castigate and love to hate at times is ending and what a victorious end - high ratings, superb acting from all quarters, a story we could follow easily;  some IKA positives we can remember by!

The IKA cast including Kim and Xian trooped to Glorietta Mall in Makati to bid adieu to the people who have religiously turned on their sets daily for their 30 minute dose of this family drama which to us has sometimes run roughshod and  roller-coastered over our emotions; with some extraodinary highs after   long spells of  angst and desperation.

It is only during promotional tours do we really feel the Kim and Xian mystique so forcefully from the audience response, the same throng that flock their shows and then as now, they get thrown  and swept into  the maelstrom, a whirling mass of humanity screaming  loudly and long prompting Sir Biboy Arboleda, CBS AD Prom Exec to remark on twitter:  biboy_j_arboleda ‏@BiboyJArboleda

Wild ang tao sa arrival nina chinitaprincess at @xianlimm #inakapatidanak #angpagtatapos @ glorietta mall http://instagram.com/p/aDNjSllguU/ 

Departure is the same way; the people cannot seem to get enough of them; 

we see Xian shielding Kim from the surging mass eager for a glimpse of the two; 

two stars that have captured their psyche and imagination and for a brief shining 

moment, breath the same air they do; something to reminisce about and tell those 

who did not have the privilege and the unforgettable time with them. We call 

that BTS, the behind-the-scene story of a close encounter with a Chinita Princess

and her Prince.    CTO 

It turned out that in between the arrival and departure there was a brief stay on stage where Kim and Xian regaled the fans who were standing shoulder to shoulder with one another some unprecedented KimXi caper not seen ever in their shows;  a sight to behold and get giddy again and again after repeated views of the videos gathered by extremely excited fans with buckling cams and by the grace of God by someone with steady hands only because  he is a frequent visitor of the two in their tapings and shootings.                                                                        CTO  KimXi singing Buko by Jirehlim

So where are we in the KimXi love saga; in the indefinable, unlabeled relationship that has intrigued friends and foe alike as to the nature of their relationship. 

I respect Kim and Xian in their quest to remain under the radar; where they go off on  dates and  vacations, albeit chaperoned; where they say they are only friends but they are just too cozy with one another for comfort. 

In their Buko song, after much subtle chasing  Kim gets warmly ensconced in Xian's lap; we also saw Xian, going down on one knee in offering his single rose; perhaps  making us see a preview or a postview of how  he must have tendered his Promise Ring to Kim  with flowers, music, dinner and a lot of love, perhaps.

Well, speculate, speculate we go, but throwback last year this month, we saw Kim and Xian as a couple  in  Xian's instagram was barely  a month old. Now, there is some difference and how!  From Likes to uploaded photos to what KimXis call , pardonne moi, am just quoting this , "Landian sa IG".

CTO Left Photo.  The KimXi Chase or the Habulan; resembles the steps of a Philippine Dance  where  a suitor goes after his beloved in much the same fashion Kim and Xian did; with the  beloved finally standing ground and allows herself to be caught.  Oh, Kim and Xian, the things you do, so natural, so beguiling! CTO - "Punas Pawis,  Haplos ng Pagmamahal"  Glorietta Mall. 6-2-13 It used to be Xian with his ubiquitous Tissue Box in their shows together; Kim returning favor plus, plus.                


        CTO -  Xian, just wanting to make Kim happy and he has succeeded!

       Flower for a lovely lady from a may I say it, madly in love young man!

CTO and thanks to Bebe Abi.- Xian  beckoning Kim and her  unprecedented move to sit on his lap; Xian caught by surprise, momentarily  closed his eyes as they both  continued to sing Buko.  The crowd went wild.



The Puzzle of the Two Left Feet Finally Solved.  Speculation on how these two left feet got together this way was rife; now we're confirmed unless overturned by Kim or Xian.   Kandungan does it!   CTO CTO


It looks like there is a bright yellow full  moon overhead as Kim and Xian rendered their Buko song. Full moon and hearts full of love and affection with   Xian and his loverly look that betrays him and the love he bears for his ladylove, Kim  graciously beaming with happiness!   



CTO - Xian's palpable happiness towards Kim's outward show of  affection now in full and open display!  There is reciprocation; love begetting love.  What a happy night for lovers and the lovers!


CTO - I see Kim's PBB type laughter.  Thank you Xian, very much, for bringing Kim into this level of happiness that we have not seen brimming in her for a long time!



CTO - A day after the momentous IKA "kandungan" is a movie shooting day. Kim and Xian, love personified in their quiet smiles and bodies that angle toward each other, reaching out in spirit, in the spirit of love and thankfulness. Love clings in the air where lovers are and linger where they are caught on cam by an equally compassionate soul and we feel the love rushing at us like a strong wind that sweeps us all  to a world where love dwells!  How beautiful  that we have eyes to see  this beautiful Xian love, now returned by Kim; promises of faithfulness   and constant love on the wing for one another!  KimXi love to infinity!

  

CTO    Kim and Xian fans  in the light of Kim and Xian "revelations".

The year 2013 is a year of grand surprises; Kim and/or Xian  providing his/her/their own. We ride this crest of a huge wave until it breaks, bringing us several feet under and  like big wave surfers we scramble underneath  to know which way is up for us to surface after the wipeout; clearly overwhelmed!

CTO -  Thank you.  The caption says it all!  Kim Chiu has conquered her fears of falling in love again, this we see! This we claim!  AT LAST!
