FUNNY SIGNS FROM ALL OVER PART TWO

As mentioned, I was having problems with uploading pictures on this blog a couple of days back so I had to cut short my post on  "funny signs".
So, I am hoping I have better luck this time so that I could publish the rest of my collection.
So, shall we continue?

ONBOARD THE OVERNIGHT TRAIN FROM SHANGHAI TO XIAN
Our small cabin on the train has this sign on the table.  How accommodating, don't you think?  Well, I had, afterall a  "rideplacin' good time" onboard!

BACOLOD CITY, PHILIPPINES
Taken June of 2012 during our Annual Employees' Getaway.  This is apparently, a Christian Church and had this "unique" and I must say, "catchy" way of getting their message across.  Too bad we did not have the time to go inside and visit but whoever thought of this certainly has the "creative" gene and would make a good product manager.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
Well, this is, I think, a famous cosmetics brand in SoKor.  Kalinya sya palagi ng Etude House tsaka Natural Republic.  Nagkalat ang branch nya everywhere.  This particular branch is in Myeongdeong Subway.  Kasalukuyang kaming "nawawala" noon  ni Jon and medyo kakapagod at kakastress na.  When I saw this sign, nagkatawanan na lang kami kasi parang gusto kong bumili ng sangkaterba dito para mawala ang "inis" namin.  True enough, super effective ha - pangalan pa lang, nakakatanggal na ng inis!

BALANGA , BATAAN
Who says being "unkabogable" is IN these days? Sorry, we found a whole town in Bataan who would rather feel "kabog" so much so that they name their town "Cabog-Cabog"!
We found this sleepy town on our way to Morong, Bataan last Summer to visit the now famous Las Casas Filipnas de Acuzar.  Everyone was sleeping in the car and when I opened my eyes, I saw this school.  Eh ang bilis namin kaya naman talagang kinailangan pa naming balikan para lang makakuha ako ng picture.  Adik much! 


CABANATUAN, NUEVA ECIJA
Who says the Master Rapper has crossed the great beyond?  Na-uh, he just changed professions and tweaked his surname a little so he gets to escape the prying eyes of showbiz tsismosas. Hehehe
Note:  Meant no disrespect to the Master Rapper.  Just amused at how we Filipinos could use "wit" and humour" in our everyday lives.
So, there. 

That is all for now until I see something again that is printworthy.

Still can't get over "Maglolona" though, hehehe.

FUNNY SIGNS FROM ALL OVER PART ONE

Let me take a break from the Trip to China Series (I know I still owe you the last day "kuwento" and the summary of expenses and tips)  by a post that is picture filled.

Here goes:
I have always been observant.  
Hindi nakakalampas sa akin the little things bordering on "unusual and amusing".
Daming beses, when I see something that catches my attention, talagang babalikan ko pa to have its picture taken.
More so when we are out of town.  My discriminating attention to details gets more pronounced.
That being said, let me present to you some of the witty/funny/interesting signs from all over which I have kept all these years na parang some sort of a "collection".

Jon knows about this fascination of mine at nakikisali na din sa pag-oobserve to add up to my collection.
Note that the following pictures are taken by me and is not lifted from the internet ha.

SHANGHAI, CHINA
Let's start off with a picture taken from our latest trip.  It is an Ice Cream Store I believe that is located right smack at the exit of The Bund's Sightseeing Tunnel.  Now, makes me wonder what kind of milk do the owners use for their products.  Must be "Gatas ng Ina", don't you think? How healthy!  
VANGVIENG, LAOS
Jon and i rented a motorbike and went around this tiny town that is famous all over the world for TUBING.  It was already getting dark when I chanced upon a hotem with a funny sounding name. 
I wonder who checks in there and what "amenities" they expect to have in the rooms. (insert sheepish grin here).


SHANGHAI, CHINA
And, while we are at it, isama ko na itong signage I saw at a mobile soda vendor.  I  have tasted 7UP, Mountain Dew and Mirinda.  But never that cola on top of the list.  I wonder how it'd taste. Eeewww.
YANGOON, MYANMAR
We were off to Bagan to see the thousand temples aboard a ten hour Sleeper Bus ride in Yangoon when I saw this ad.  Good thing my hands are fast and took the picture in a matter of seconds.
So, what do our oldies often say?  "Kaya di ka makatulog dahil sa KAKA KAFE mo.  Nuff said. 


Loving it so far?
Do you have your version too?
Please do share.

As for me, there is more to come in the next post.  I am having a hard time uploading pictures so I have to cut it short for now.

Laters, folks!
