Xian Lim is excited to spend his first Christmas in the Philippines!

2009 has been very kind to Xian Lim who not only bagged a role in the high-rating teleserye Katorse, but he has also started taping for a new show, Rubi, which stars Angelica Panganiban. Xian will also be celebrating his first Christmas here in the Philippines. “Ito ang magiging very first Christmas ko dito. Sa States kami lang talaga ng mom ko magkasama nagce-celebrate. Here, I’m excited sa mga mangyayari, much more family gatherings dito.”



One of the Filipino Christmas traditions that he is planning to do for the first time is the simbang gabi. “Excited ako. Kasama kosina dad ko and mom ko.” When he was asked if there was a special someone he would be inviting to attend the mass with him, he said, “Kahit sino naman wala naman pwede ko isama: mga kaibigan ko… Wala namang special someone in particular na hinahangad kong makasama.”

While Xian admitted that there is a downside to being single during the holidays, he said that as long as his family with him, he has no reason to be depressed. “Actually, I wont be sad na single ako kasi I am with my family and siyempre the closest people in my life like ‘yung mga pinsan ko na hindi ko nakita when I grew up sa States ngayon makakasama ko so masaya ngayong Pasko.”

He also revealed part of his Christmas wish list. “May feeling ako na bibigyan ako ng mom ko ng kotse kasi nagpaparinig ako the whole year, e. Sana a bigger car. Nothing specific kasi ngayon I’m using a Honda City and nahihirapan ako [kasi maliit]. I think magkakaisa angbuong family ko to get me a car.”
