Kim Chiu on her past heartaches; ‘Wala na yun. Masaya na tayong lahat ngayon’

With the success of her current Kapamilya series My Binondo Girl, Kim Chiu feels happy about the strong following the show has garnered after just a short time. “I feel so excited, kinakabahan andnagpapasalamat dahil ang daming positive feedback.Kung meron mang negative, konti lang. Siyempre hindi ko mapi-please lahat ng tao pero masaya ako dahil ang daming na-e-excite and ang daming may gustong panuorin na ang My Binondo Girl so sobrangthankful ako and sobrang overwhelmed,” she admitted.

The chinita actress admitted that her love life has taken a backseat for now due to her busy schedule. “Sa ngayon wala talaga. Focus muna ako sa My Binondo Girl. Concentrate muna dun and darating rin tayo diyan,” she added.

Kim also admitted that she has moved on from past heartaches and is genuinely happy with her personal and professional life right now. “Wala na yun. Masaya na tayong lahat ngayon. Siyempre life goes on kaya masaya tayo sa bagong project ko, sa mga kasama ko sa My Binondo Girl kasi supportive sila and ang saya-saya lang naming lahat. Happy set ang My Binondo Girl. Hindi mo mararamdaman ang pagod, yung puyat, yun,” she said.

But this does not mean Kim is not open to having suitors. “Okay naman ako, ready na. Pero sa ngayon focusmuna ako sa trabaho ko and concentrate muna ako sa role ko bilang Jade and Yuan. Matagal na yun,” she added.

When it comes to lessons she has learned from her past, Kim said she has not changed. She said she is still the kind of girl who would choose her heart over mind, regardless of cultural or racial background. “Siyempre pipiliin ko yung gusto ng puso ko. Yung mamahalin ako and yung taong mahal ko. Dun ako sa tinitibok ng puso ko, yung taong mamahalin ako and taong mahal ko siyempre. Kung Chinese man siya or kung ano man lahi niya, basta yung mahal ako,” she explained.

When asked to react to Gerald Anderson’s statements about how he still feels about her, Kim shyly chose to give a neutral answer. “Hindi naman niya sinabi yun. Hiya ako. hindi ko alam yung sasabihin ko. Hindi ko alam, wala eto lang. (laughs). Basta kami ni Gerald, ano kami, super good friends kami ngayon, wala kaming problema or kung ano man yung dati. Parang nakalimutan na namin yun. Parang bagong magkaibigan ulit kami, ganun,” she said.

The My Binondo Girl star admitted she is glad that things have smoothed over between her and Gerald because their friendship is an important part of her life ever since their stint on Pinoy Big Brother. “Siyempre na-mi-miss ko din yung may nakasuporta sa akin pag may nang-aaway. Yung merong tao akong sasandalan andmay taong mag-li-lift ng spirits ko kapag nanghihina na ako. Parang nandiyan siya para sabihin na okay lang yan, kaya mo yan. And yung makakaintindi sa mga pinagdadaanan namin. Pero ngayon okay naman. Mas marami pang nagli-lift ng spirits ko,” she said.
