Engrish Apron

I went shopping at the dollar store yesterday and I found some funny times Engrish!

Let's beging the pictures!
I think is supposed to say "celebrity".


I have no idea why this description is on that. I'm pretty sure the item is an apron.

I think I have to stop taking pictures in the store. I think the store is onto me. :( Maybe I'll take photos in silent mode.

Music Video Engrish

I was watching some old music videos and I noticed the Arling & Cameron video for "We Love Dancing" has some Engrish in it. I'm not sure if it was deliberate.

Best Frier (Engrish Brog)

To my Best Frier:

Here is some Enrgish on some cards my mom bought. "Gifts of cash and gift cards are always appreciated."
I think the Engrish on this page is from the Janet Jackson song "Together Again"
I didn't know there is a day of the week called "Frnday".
Did you know the sky is blue?

Reflections on Reflections

I'm sick of reflecting and evaluating! This is the 3rd time I've had to write something like that for the same class. I have nothing left to say. I do, but it's kind of mean. It's not something I'd want the teacher to read. It's not a slam book or anything like that. I figured that if I looked at what I had written about the other people in class in my blog and on paper. Maybe I can piece something together. It's due on Thurs.
When I was thinking about the assignment. This funny Engrish poem came to mind. Did I post this before?

I forgot to mention that the people in class want to bring presents. In case anybody from class is reading this. Look through my blog to see what I like. What would I get somebody else? :/

Later I find out that we are supposed to share something but I'm not sure what. The instructions were vague. I think it can be something we didn't write. Perhaps I should write a joke will? Like I mentioned before. What about song lyrics? Maybe I'll just write a few things like 3, and bring all of those to class and decide which one I want to use on that day. I'm not reciting the lyrics to "Under Construction" by No Doubt I already did that before in a different class.

John Wooden died today. I thought he was 94; he was 99. That is really old. I think he was in my dead pool.

Back to Schooling

I know the title is a little off it's suppose to be like Engrish.

I'm back at school now. Today was my first day in like a year and a half after my "hiatus". We'll just use that term loosely.

Actually the day started off strangely. I had to convince myself that I was tired and go to bed early. I haven't done that in such a long time. Anyway I was online like at 12:30 AM; then my dad gets up to go to the bathroom. He gets mad at me because I'm up at 12:30. He tells me he will stay up with me until I go to bed. What am I 12!? No 2AM Mister Ed viewings for me anymore. :(

I ended up waking up extra early for me (7AM) to catch my Japanese morning drama. My dad got mad at me because I wore old clothes? So what? I don't want to look like a college noob. You know those people who show up with new supplies including a backpack/bag and wear new clothes and shoes.

The bus ride over there wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I've had worse. It wasn't that crowded. I thought it would be since I'm traveling from a longer distance now.

I do like to get there early though to take precautions. I don't wanna lose my place on the roster. Especially now that a lot of unemployed people are going back to school. Of course I would not be in that demographic since I was unemployed before all this happened.

I didn't know what to expect since I've been gone for such a long time. It's the same old same old with the students though. Most of them look scared and/or confused. When I get there I feel a little lost; not because I'm unfamiliar with the place. I've been there from spring'07-fall '08; 3 semesters. I got a little confused because there is some new construction/buildings that were not there before. There were info booths and usually they give away little planners with the school's name on them, but I didn't see any. I was disappointed. :(

While I was walking around I found this funny car ad posted! LOL! XD
Sell Car? It made me think of that "Book 4 sell" sign.

To be honest there weren't as many older people at school as I thought there would be. Actually there was an elaborate prank I had in mind to get rid of some of them if I had a class with a lot of them., Maybe I'll post my prank idea. I haven't decided. Maybe they all signed up for early morning and evening classes? Younger people usually like to take midday/afternoon classes.

The funny thing is that when my teacher took roll I noticed there are 2 other girls in there with the same first name as me. It makes me think about how common my first name is.

My teacher is a USC fan ugh! And she's pro Vector *whispers* MLM scam. She can't be all bad she did also attend CSUF! Maybe she likes Tuffy too?

The bus was crowded like I predicted. I hope it will thin out in a couple of weeks.

Engrish Funtime of the Stationary Kind

Ok I had been teasing this blog for a while

Here are some scans I took of some of my Engrish notepads. I think they are really funny. Sorry some of them are so small. If you can’t read it I will write what they say under them.

“Pianist Sky shs plays excellent jass piano”

“White Baby Cat…To Day is TTiTTi’s Day”

This cat looks more like a bear. I’m going to add this character to my list of “Hello Kitty Knockoffs”

“A vivid Sky

Hello! Everyone. My name is cute Sky.

I like a bautyful Flower, and Friends...

Have a nice-day!”

“Tennis Sky

Hi! My name is Sky…My habit is tennis, that is very funny sport…”

Here is a drawing pad that says “The energy which needs to study” I think that phrase is really funny. It sounds like something that would on a bottle of stimulants. The phrase on the pad was the reason I bought it in the first place.

I think the girl on the cover look a little like a mix of Sakura and Ichigo. My mom thinks the bird on the cover looks like DeDeDe from the Kirby series.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Engrish Comic of the Bootleg Kind

So a few years ago when Yu-Gi-Oh was popular and was everywhere there were a lot of bootleg items around. Here are some of the bootleg items I have; a cup, a bowl, a bag/purse and fake cards. I think I paid no more than $2-3 for any of them. Here is a picture of the fake deck box. Sorry the box is crushed. I accidentally stepped on it at my old house. I have no idea who that guy is on the front of the box with the fire coming out of his hand. Maybe he is The Pyro Mr. Volcano. The other guy is obviously Joey. I think I bought it because Joey is on the box. I don’t know if you can make it out but it says Konami on the top left side of the box.
Box Front
The back of the box has the same picture of The Pyro Mr. Volcano on it and a picture of Bakura with an injured arm.
Box Back
I got this funny mini comic in a pack of bootleg cards. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever read! I scanned it for the purposes of this blog, but then I realized this comic is hard to read in real life. So I will make a transcript of it for you. I did not clean up the grammar or anything. I think “Dammed” is to signify a monster being destroyed. It’s used a lot in the comic. I will be using the dub names. They are used in the comic. This takes place during the Duelist Kingdom story arch. They have star chips.

Weevil: (thinking) Yugi! Come on! Take you move to attack… Hi Hi!
Page 1379
Yugi: (thinking) Oh! I will never let you succeed! If my “Dark Magician” was exterminated, my life points will decrease too. If I attack, my monster will all exterminated. Because his trap card is still there…(speaking) Let use this card. (thinking) To destroy his trap card, I must make my injure as little as I could.

Matching

Yugi: Ah Ah!!
Page 1383
Yugi: “Larvae Moth” was wrap by a big cocoon. A complete evolved “Great Moth”!

Weevil: When the time has come, then no on can beat the “Great Moth”. Ha Ha Ha! Now “Larvae Moth” was inside the cocoon. After 5 turn, it will evolved into a complete “Great Moth”!

There are also some instructions for playing the card game on the last page. There is an “04” at the bottom of the page. I think it was taken from a player’s guide or something. Here’s what it says:

NOTE: This Starter Deck contains 50 cards, so you will need more cards to create a Side Deck.

In any match, the Deck and Side Deck combined cannot contain more than 3 copies of the same card. Also, be aware of Forbidden and Limited Cards, p.35.

GAMEPLAY
In accordance with the Official Rules, a Duel is conducted in the following manner:

Before you start a Duel, greet your opponent with a friendly handshake.

Both players shuffle their respective Decks and them to their opponent to shuffle (this is called cutting the Deck). The Decks are the returned to their owners and placed face-down in their respective Deck Zones on the Game Mat (the Game Mat p.6.).

When using Fusion Monster Card(s), place the card(s) face-down on the Fusion Deck Zone of the Game Mat. A Fusion Deck is a card or a group of cards consisting only of Fusion Monsters formed by fusing 2 or more monsters during a Duel (Fusion Monsters, p. 10).

Note: The cards of the Fusion Deck are NOT counted in the 40 cards minimum of the Deck.

Show your opponent that your Side Deck contains exactly 15 cards (the cards may be counted face-down). When your Side Deck cards are exchanged with those in your Deck, count the cards of your Side Deck with your opponent once again to verify that the Deck still contains the same number of cards.

For the first Duel in a Match, decide who starts first with a coin toss.

Engrish Signage Funtime at the College School

Since I had a free day today I was goofing off and didn't properly prepare a blog.

These are some Engrish signs I saw back at my old school. I wish I had a camera phone earlier to take more pictures of Engrish signs I encountered at school. Oh yeah and I blocked out the names and numbers in all the signs.
This sign is mentioned in an old myspace blog I wrote.

My favorite thing to do at school was to go to the bulletin board where people would post things like fliers for work at home scams, lost dog/cat posters, stuff for sale, places to live, and other things.
I found this post while I was looking for a legitimate job post. I love the way this is written. Notice how it says “at”, but the person wrote “on” over it. Like changing that one word was going to fix the Engrish in it.

This one isn’t that funny. The only thing I found wrong with it was the part about the pets.
I’m not trying to copy Engrish.com. That is a great site and you should visit it.
