What’s Gerald Anderson’s gift to her? “A salad master cooking set.” Is it true they’ve reconciled? “May ganun? Friends na lang kami, walang balikang nangyari. Masaya na kami ngayon sa kanya-kanyang buhay namin. Pero dun, nagkaroon kami ng chance na makapagkuwentuhan ng matagal, kung ano ng mga bago sa buhay namin. Di na namin pinag-usapan kung anuman yung masamang nangyaring kiyeme sa amin before. Basta sharing of experiences lang. Okay na ko on my own. Nalaman kong kaya palang ako lang. Nagkaroon ako ng maraming bagong kaibigan so okay na ko roon. Masaya na ko sa buhay ko.”
How come she’s being linked to cager Simon Atkins and to Jolo Revilla? “It’s flattering pero sa media ako lang nalalamang may crush daw sila sa’kin. Katakot nga. Basta next year pa siguro ko uli magjojowa. Jowa raw, o.”
Jolo is one of her leading men in her new soap, “Binondo Girl”, along with Matteo Guidicelli and Xian Lim. “Sa kanila, si Xian lang ang nakatrabaho ko na before sa ‘My Only Hope’. Okay naman siya, makulit din pero kung titingnan mo, parang hindi. Si Matteo, we’re both from Cebu so nagbi-Bisaya kami. Si Jolo, mukha naman siyang gentleman.” How does she feel now that she’s 21? “Feeling ko, di na ko bata. Ang tanda ko na. Pero sana, hanggang doon na lang. Happy naman ako kasi may sariling bahay na ako. Next naman, I want up to put up my own business and now that I graduated from high school, gusto kong mag-college but I don’t know yet kung anong kukunin ko at kunsaan. For my birthday, I want to share again sa mga nangangailangan. Kasi di naman lahat ng kinikita ko, para sa akin lang, so I will share with the home for abandoned children, Grace to be Born. Kawawa yung mga bata roon na tinapon lang sa basurahan o iniwan sa CR. Kakaunti ang tumutulong sa kanila so doon ako magse-share this time.”
While she was in the States, she did a pictorial with Hollywood actor Matt Lanter. “Dun kami kinunan sa ilalim ng Hollywood sign. Ang theme is a Filipina actress with a Hollywood actor. I also did a pictorial with a successful Pinoy designer there, Oliver Tolentino.”
Matt Lanter is 29, plays the role of Liam in the TV series “90210” and was Anakin Skywalker in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” TV series. He has appeared in such films as “The Roommate”, “Sorority Row” and the spoof of “Twilight” called “Vampires Suck” where he played Edward Sullen. Kim says any effort to link her with Matt won’t succeed. “Kasama niya yung girlfriend niya nung pictorial namin. Binantayan siya,” she adds.
