Fiona Acaba ( ABS-CBN Interactive ) 07.19.09
With her new Payless Pancit Shanghai ad, people say that Kim Chiu can practically be called the queen of endorsements. “Naku! Talaga? Hindi ano! Siyempre nagpapasalamat lang ako dahil pinagkakatiwalaan nila ako na mag-endorse ng product nila.” When she was asked how many commercials she has done so far, her handler revealed that Kim has 25 to date.

Kim could not help but be grateful for all the projects that have been coming her way. “Masaya kasi kahit maraming schedule, isa sa inspiration ko na magtrabaho ng magtrabaho. Dumarami ang commercials, dumarami mga blessings. Sana hindi na ito matapos, sana tuloy-tuloy pa rin sila at ayun sana marami pa dumating,” Kim added.

At the press launch of the said product, the guest feng shui expert had a good forecast for Kim, saying that Kim will continue to have a fruitful career in the next three to four years. “Oo nga ang ganda, sana nga totoo, sa love, sa career, sa lahat sana totoo. [Pero] three years lang? Sana four, five, six, seven, tuloy-tuloy. Sana hindi lang three years!” Kim laughed.

The forecast also had something about her love life. “Sabi maganda daw ang love life sa October, eh. ‘Di tingnan natin.”

Being Chinese, Kim said that she believes in feng shui and actually uses it for guidance when it comes to making decisions. “Naniniwala ako [sa feng shui.] Yung bahay ko hindi ko pa pinapatayo kahit okay na lahat dahil sa feng shui. Kaya ayun, totoo naman yun tsaka wala namang mawawala ‘pag maniwala ka dun.”

Kim is excited about her 600-sq.m. house. She said that she will make it really colorful, like a dollhouse. “Isa ito sa mga wish ko talaga sa pagpasok ko bilang artista. Ang goal ko magkaroon ako ng sariling bahay, yung matatawag kong sa akin, at eto na yun. Yung hindi ako uutang sa bangko para sa bahay, gusto ko yung tama yung pera ko para ipagpatayo ng bahay,” Kim added.

After her dream house is done, she plans on setting up her own business. “Pagkatapos po ng bahay ko magbubusiness ako para ‘pag wala ako ginagawa magbabantay ako ng store ko. Marami po akong pinag-iisipan: laundry shop or RTW or grocery.”
