Kilala n’yo na ba ang nagpauso ng trending na “Heartbreak Anniversary” dance challenge?
Si Krizabelle Manimtim, o mas kilala bilang Katkat, ay isang architecture student, dancer, at content creator.
“Gusto ko lang i-share ‘yung passion ko sa pag-create ng content, para makapag-share ng ideas.”
Nakilala si Katkat bilang isa sa nagpauso at gumawa ng choreography ng nasabing dance challenge. Kasama niya ang boyfriend na si Marc Daniel Bernardo, isa sa mga Singtokers ng Sing Galing, sa pagbuo ng choreography nito noong kasagsagan ng pandemic. Laking gulat na lang nila nang mag-viral ito.
“Nagpa-practice lang kami ng sayaw and napagtripan lang talaga namin mag-TikTok no’ng time na ‘yun, kasi ‘yun nga pandemic. Walang ginagawa, forda sayaw lang ang mga people, and hanggang sa isang gabi… napakinggan ko lang ‘yung ‘Heartbreak Anniversary’ na ‘yun tapos kinulit ko na si Marc na gumawa ng sayaw. Madaling araw pa nga no’n e, tapos nagulat kami pag-upload namin bigla na siyang nag viral.”
Lingid sa kaalaman ng iba, si Katkat at Marc Daniel ay mag-best friend pa noong time na ginawa nila ang choreography. Nagsimula ang kanilang pagkakaibigan ng maging magka-team sa isang dance group – hanggang sa tuluyan na siyang ligawan ng binata.
“Actually ano, may secret feelings na si Marc sakin no’n, hanggang sa tuloy-tuloy na siya, hindi ko na alam, naglakas na siya ng loob. Sinabi niya nang in-person. Nagpaalam pa nga siya kina papa at mama na manliligaw siya… Halos mga 6 months siyang nanligaw no’n.”
Kahit confident mag-post online ng kanyang mga videos, paglabas sa ilang mga interviews and TV guestings, at mga endorsement, mahiyaing tao talaga si Katkat.
“Ako naman, kapag may nagpapa-picture sakin in public, medyo nahihiya pa ako, hindi ko alam, mahiyain talaga ako… Medyo nagagamay ko naman na [ang galawan sa industriya], may part lang talaga ng personality ko na mahiyain talaga.”
Hindi naging mabilis kay Katkat ang mapunta kung nasaan siya ngayon. Bago maging viral ang kanyang choreography ng “Heartbreak Anniversary” sa TikTok, ito ay una niyang in-upload sa Musical.ly kung saan siya unang nakilala. Ngunit nang ma-ban ang kanyang account, in-upload niya ang kanyang mga videos sa TikTok kung saan mas lalo pang nag viral.
Kaya naman ang payo niya sa mga aspiring dancers, “consistent lang kahit hindi man ganoon katuluy-tuloy, basta consistent ka lang sa ginagawa mo, at gusto mo ‘yung ginagawa mo, at masaya ka sa ginagawa mo.”
Bukod sa kanyang mga dance covers, marami pa tayong makikita kay Katkat Manimtim sa Reelverse Hub live tuwing Sabado, 4:00 PM at 8:00 PM sa TV5, Cignal Entertainment, and Sing Galing Official Facebook Page.
Huwag ding kalimutang gumawa ng iyong reels at i-upload with the hashtags #ReelversePH and #ReelstarsPH!
