Classic Haw Flakes spotted in the wild

I have not seen this in ages, and it's a pleasant surprise to see that these still exist.

Southwest Monsoon floods Manila

For the past two days, the rains have been non-stop in most parts of Metro Manila and nearby provinces in Luzon, Philippines. I'm personally thankful that I'm personally not as badly affected as the rest of our brethren. I just hope for everyone's safety in this time of calamity. The rains have been so continuous and flooding so bad, that even the BPO sector [call center industry] would have amnesty for absences and double pay for those able to come to work for tonight and tomorrow morning. It's THAT bad. Pictures shown below are not mine, but from the various pictures available through my social network. Be safe everyone.
