IKAKO (Ikaw at Ako) - A Message of Love from SB19

"And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.  But the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:13.

"... na basta may pag-ibig sa puso nati'y magwawagi."   (As long as we have love in our hearts, we shall be victorious.) -- Ikako by SB19 Sejun. 

"The eternal optimism and indomitable spirit of the Filipino people are embodied in the narrative of Ikako." -- Emohr Oemlab, Lifestyle Check 101

In the middle of humanity's battle against the dreadful and deadly novel corona virus 2019 or better known as nCOV-19, comes a ray of sunshine from Sejun, the team leader of the PPOP boy band SB19.  Premiered in SB19's official YouTube channel at 9 PM today, Easter Sunday, is the song Ikako (a contracted form of the Filipino words "ikaw at ako" which means you and I) with the music composed and lyrics written by Sejun.

Earth Finally Had a Break! How about Giving This FujiFilm Camera a Break?

I don't know about you, but here in the Philippines it's already the dry season and strangely enough the air is cooler and much fresher at nights and actually even in the afternoon sun.  I suppose Mother Earth has had a break from all the pollution that we humans have been causing her all throughout the ages.  This COVID-19 pandemic is truly scary and potentially devastating to a lot of businesses and livelihood of so many.  The flip side of it however, amidst the lockdown imposed by countries, our one and only Earth has been given a chance to breathe.  To heal.  To renew itself in ways we may not comprehend.  But we feel it.  I feel it!

Before this 2019-nCoV became an epidemic, I was excitedly waiting for the "summer season".  I have had weekend escapades planned out, bought plane tickets and booked AirBnB accommodations. I wanted to visit this time some really beautiful places in the country that I have never been to.   One of the things I have been preparing for is the underwater camera that I would be using to capture underwater sea footages.  The Go Pro Hero 8 is already out.  I am completely not sold with its tag price however.  So, I kept on looking for an alternative that's mainly affordable but at least with useful features and perhaps some that would be similar to the Go Pro's.  It does not have to be an action camera but something that's waterproof would be ideal.
