Happy 4th Anniversary, Kimeralds

4 years on and Im still here as a Kimerald...stronger than ever! April 23, 2006 marks the day I fell in love with the Kimerald...which they were not yet known as that. They were simply housemate Kim & Gerald then but as early as that first night, I have been a fan of their tandem. Take note, there was NO indication the two will hook up...none whatsoever. But I knew in my heart that they are meant to be so I patiently waited & rigorously observed every glance, gesture, movement, even heave & sigh...that 1 tiny sign to let me know that they do feel something for each other.

Needless to say my patience paid off...they did hook up & so marvelously at that. Just one moment then bam...the rest is history. Never ending kilig for me & for the rest of us who 'discovered' this unique, precious, wonderful, honest, pure, beautiful, joyful, fated/destined tandem that is the Kimerald...Kim AND Gerald.

4 years on and im still one of those fighting for this loveteam...this beautiful tandem who brings so much joy to me & to countless others. I tell you, since day two, from PBB forum to PEX I have been in the thick of the battle for the Kimerald. I have 'scars' to prove it too. A thankless effort that I totally embrace even if I get envious (though Im not the only long time silent supporter) whenever others gets the credit. Oh well, that's life! Soldier on...

Here I am again (together with those faceless others)...4 years to the day...fighting the same battle...PRESERVATION of the Kimerald. 4 years on but what do we hear from new Kimerald converts? They became a fan after watching Kim & Gerald TOGETHER. It's not because of Kim or Gerald -- it's because of KIMERALD.

There's 1 proven formula to achieve that number 1 spot in the ratings that I know of that KTM should apply... and fast. MORE KIMERALD SCENES TOGETHER!

Look at Sana Maulit Muli....Kimerald were barely a year in the business & this being their first ever teleserye but SMM tromped the tough competition soundly. Why? Because even in its infancy, the Kimerald loveteam is what the televiewers wanted to see.

My Girl....even if their timeslot was the 3rd late slot, it still dominated the ratings both in National & AGB...number 1. Why? Like SMM, My Girl had LOTS & LOTS of Kimerald scenes TOGETHER.

Even My Only Hope topped the ratings game and generated a non-kimerald following who eventually turned into Kimerald believers. Why? Again, because MOH had lots of Kimerald scenes TOGETHER.

Look back at Love Spells: My Boy My Girl; Charm & Crystal & Pasko na Santa Ko, Your Songs: Alive; Ngiti & Someday, Star Magic Presents:Ang lovey kung all around, MMK:BUS, Aalog-alog & even Maligno...all these shows and some Kimerald guestings won the ratings game because Kim & Gerald are the partners in these said projects. What does that tell you? KIMERALD LANG.

Why do you think Kim & Gerald's 'solo' projects were only relative successes? Because they were not KIMERALD projects. They don't need those 'solo' projects in order for them to 'grow & mature' as actors...they already have & continues to do so even when they are as Kimerald. Everyone already recognizes how good Kim & Gerald individually as actor & actress and they did it TOGETHER (I so love this word for Kimerald). Furthermore, & I'm starting to sound like a broken record with these lines, Kim & Gerald dont need to be separated in order for them to be recognized as good actors in their own merit...both of them have proven it already countless of times.

What's the good in it if only a few will watch their work because they are not together? That's why I consider Kim & Gerald's solo works SAYANG. A lot more could have seen how good they were in those projects but since it's not Kimerald, a lot bypassed watching them.

Why do you think the Kimerald detractors are trying to destroy the Kimerald loveteam? Because even they can see that it's BEING KIMERALD THAT KIM & GERALD BECOMES STRONGEST. Being Kimerald, they get the most lucrative deals, assured top rated shows and huge & loyal support. Those things are exactly what their rivals COVET.

And while they work on destroying the Kimerald -- which it seems to me in my uneducated observation their management allows -- they are also USING Kimerald & the Kimeralds (imagine their desperation of using even us fans) to further some stars' careers. Kimerald is constantly pitted against new & old talents alike even if the comparisons are so pathetic or bordering on stupidity & big insult to the Kimerald. Thank God Kimerald always comes out on top---NO thanks to their management.

Of course there are some who says they will still support Kim & Gerald's solo projects but deep down they don't really want to see them with other partners. Just look at the way EVERYBODY bashes the 3rd parties in the Kimerald's shows...even those who just sent fellers that they 'admire' Kim or Gerald.

As for myself, and I believe almost all Kimeralds feel the same way, I always have these feelings of INCOMPLETENESS -- a missing 'something' everytime I see only Kim or Gerald whether in a scene or in a picture. Why do you think everyone asks Kim or Gerald without fail where is the other everytime they are not together? That's because there is a WRONGNESS if they are apart but a RIGHTNESS when they are together. Sure, Im happy to see them but Im happiest if I see Kim & Gerald T O G E T H E R.

Kim & Gerald have 2 STRENGTHS...BEING KIMERALD & the Kimeralds. As long as the 1st is intact, the 2nd will steadfastly stay behind them. So Kim & Gerald should protect & maintain their being Kimerald AT ALL COST or it could cost them everything. Its being the Kimerald that brought them fame & fortune & will continue to be so if they stay as Kimerald.

There are sharks posing as friends eagerly awaiting for the spoils.
