Why We'll Watch KimXi's The Story of Us

Among all the trailers released by ABS-CBN during their trade show on December 2015, the one that was most promising is... KimXi soap opera entitled The Story of Us.

Set in Palawan, Kim Chiu & Xian Lim's character will grow up together. They will also grow in love to each other but the same old story of not being allowed by the lady's parents/guardian. Both characters will promise each other their forever love. They both fly to United Stated (New York to be specific) on separate occasions and the deeper conflict will arise.

We like this the most because both actors are now given more realistic and deeper roles. For sure, this will be a heavy drama to fill in that timeslot in ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida.

Based on the trailer, Xian Lim can now level up to the acting of Kim Chiu. So it's a plus to this soap.

What's catchy about this series is the last line of the teaser that Kim Chiu's character said,

Hindi Amerika ang sumira sa atin Makoy. Ikaw!

It gives us a good idea that the story is not just about the same old love here and there but the struggles of couples in the land where dreams are said to be made of-- United States of America.

Why PBA Teams Draft Non-Basketball Celebrities

First, Manny Pacquiao. Now, Xian Lim. These two non-basketball celebrities have been included in the basketball arena lately. For Pacquiao, he's now playing for one of the PBA teams. For Lim, the deal was supposedly pushing through.

What happened to Xian Lim though is a different case at some point. Since he was not able to catch the proper timeline to be part of the draft, he was denied.

“With regard to your [Cloudfone] request to allow your product endorser, Mr. Xian Lim, to play for your team without going through the Rookie Draft, we have a rule that all new players should go through the draft, with the exception of players of school-based teams. Hence, we cannot grant your request,” Commissioner Chito Salud said.

But why are PBA Teams after these celebrities to play with them?

We won't answer that question. But we have two undeniable facts we can realize if we look at the cases of Pacquiao and Lim.

1. The teams drafting them are not yet established.
They need all the branding. They need people talking abou them. They need attention.

2. Both Manny Pacquiao and Xian Lim are not hotshot basketball players.
They like playing basketball like most Filipino men. But they're not the type who would create a huge mark in the league.

Undeniably though, they both are really popular.

There you have it. Make your own conclusion.
