    There is a photo that is, once again, stumping the Internet.

    This innocent image of what appears to be a white coffee table on a flower rug, has caught the attention of netizens. Apparently, there is a well hidden and hard to find object in it.

    The tricky photo was uploaded on July 3 by Facebook user Jeya May Cruz from the Philippines with the caption: “Let’s play a game. Look for the cell phone.” It has since left thousands of people from around the world baffled.

    It has been shared by almost 18,000 users and received nearly 140,000 likes. Frustrated users who have given up on the search have left a thread of comments.

    A confused user, Iya Alcain Sunico, asked:

    “Is there even a phone in the first place?” 

    While other users including Brylle Estigoy, were more encouraging. He said:

    “Keep looking, it’s there. Like love, it will come unexpectedly.”

    Cruz later wrote a thank you for those who shared the image and made the photo viral. She wrote:

    “Thank you everyone, I can’t believe this would become viral. I’m sorry if it made your eyes hurt and head ache … Thank you again!”

    Many people might not know this, but despite our large and loyal following which we are immensely grateful for, NextShark is still a small bootstrapped startup that runs on no outside funding or loans.

    Everything you see today is built on the backs of warriors who have sacrificed opportunities to help give Asians all over the world a bigger voice.

    However, we still face many trials and tribulations in our industry, from figuring out the most sustainable business model for independent media companies to facing the current COVID-19 pandemic decimating advertising revenues across the board.

    We hope you consider making a contribution so we can continue to provide you with quality content that informs, educates and inspires the Asian community. Even a $1 contribution goes a long way.  Thank you for everyone's support. We love you all and can't appreciate you guys enough.
