puno ba lagi mga motel?

SIguro kasi madalas ang baha and ulan kaya mga babae ay nagpapaalam sa mga magulang nila na "makikitulog nalang sa classmate nila" dahil baha.

Don't say we did not warn you.

One week na hindi pa nahuhugas yung car ko. Hose down at home or with my 6-litre water jug when i arrive at the parking after the car gets wet by the rain. Malinis pa rin when coupled with the wax. D

Ingat lang...

MANILA - Heavy rains spawned floods and caused traffic jams across parts of Metro Manila again early Monday night.

The rains are caused by the southwest monsoon made more intense by tropical depression Emong, according to weather bureau PAGASA.

Data from the Department of Science and Technology's Project Noah showed a sudden spike in rainfall over Sampaloc, Manila Monday afternoon.

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, in a series of advisories on Twitter, said flooded roads include:

Biak Na Bato Quezon Avenue westbound;
Ortigas Avenue eastbound;
EDSA Megamall Service Rd. northbound;

EDSA Santolan northbound;
EDSA Main Ave northbound;
C5 Tiendesitas southbound;

C5 Bagong Ilog northbound;
Blumentritt; and,
Aurora Blvd.

The Pasig local government said floodwaters were also rising in some roads in the city.

Meanwhile, floodwaters are rising at the University of Sto. Tomas in Manila, according to campus newspaper The Varsitarian.

MMDA CCTV footage along EDSA showed southbound road traffic grinding to a standstill amid the heavy rains.

May warning for Wednesday and Thursday...

MANILA - Got plans for Wednesday-Thursday? Bring an umbrella.

According to PAGASA weather forecaster Glaiza Escullar, the state weather bureau expects rains starting tomorrow until Friday due to tropical depression Emong.

"Pwede pong sa Miyerkules at Huwebes ang pinakamalakas na pag-ulan sa Metro Manila dulot ng pag-iibayong hanging habagat ng Bagyong Emong," she told radio dzMM.

"Simula po bukas hanggang Biyernes pero ang pinakamalakas ay Miyerkules at Huwebes," she added.

She said as of 5 pm Monday, a thunderstorm is affecting Nueva Ecija, Zambales, Metro Manila, Laguna, parts of Bulacan, Tarlac, Batangas, Quezon province and Rizal.

She said the inclement weather currently affecting Metro Manila is due to a convergence of the southwest and northwest monsoons.

MANILA, Philippines - It's standstill at EDSA early Monday evening, June 17.

Rappler followers on social media sent us photos and reports of the traffic along EDSA as heavy rains brought it to a standstill.

From Quezon City all the way to Pasay, commuters and drivers complained of being stuck in heavy traffic—with some drivers turning off their engines while other commuters resorting to walking along EDSA.

We've also received reports of flooding and heavy traffic from other areas in Metro Manila.

Wala ka lang wallet, umuwi ka na ng maaga. :D

I left Makati at 11pm ang got home a little past 12 so parang rush hour nalang.

The sun this morning is yung "nangaasar" na araw. It's shining brightly but you can already see the rainclouds coming in.

Bro sorry for this silly question. What do you mean by hose-down and water-down? No drying involve?

When my car is clean then it rains and i drive out and arrive while it's still raining (meaning hindi natuyuan yung car); I either hose it down (including the wheel wells) if im at home or i take out my jug of water and wash off the rain water, particularly from the side of the car. I don't dry the car anymore (save for the glass at times) but most of the dirt is washed off and the car dries up nearly clean, especially if it still has a fresh coat of wax. Depending on the water you have you may have some water spots but it's usually removed when i properly wash the car.
