An Extreme Streak of Bad Luck

I was telling Tsubaki about my amazingly rotten streak of luck that started when the Zodiacs changed in the last lunar movement. It’s not over but getting worse…

I lost my tripod on my 2nd day in Australia. I rarely lose anything as I’m very careful with my belongings.

I lost my mp3 player in Australia.

I lost my hat in Australia.

It was a shitty 2 weeks of my life.

When doing a photoshoot with Solty, her arm came off and dropped deep between three large boulders. After half an hour of dirt digging blindly, I managed to get it.

I lugged a laptop around the whole of Saturday only to find that my mini USB cable was faulty and the laptop served no purpose. And I used that cable only once ever.

A group of religious fanatics were disrupting the Kamisaka Haruhi photoshoot.

I ran out of money. This isn’t luck I guess.

I probably forgot quite a few others. Anyway, I thought it was the end and was looking forward to a good festive season. But.

My dad is now undergoing a triple coronary artery bypass operation after suffering a heart attack. I was at the Intensive Care Ward the whole day. Now this is very bad. Chances are pretty good thankfully.

And then I got an email from Google saying they disabled my Adsense account. WTF.

To end off this rather random post, I have to say that nurses truly rock. I respect them a lot more than before now (most of my previous respect was from watching Yakin Byoutou).

Dump your figurines and take care of your father.

Really sorry to hear that about your dad…hope he’ll be able to recover back to normal eventually

I was going to point out that you forgot to add that it rained on the day we wanted to have shoots, but this post isn’t supposed to be funny eh?

I hope your dad’s okay. Cheer up! Every gray cloud has a silver lining. Your luck’s coming back.

nothing good can come out of exercises in australia.

Hope your dad is ok

Very bad luck indeed. I wish your dad a quick recovery.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Hope he gets well soon.
9 rdrake 69 comments Dec 5th, 2006 at 10:30 pm

Would condolences be too strong a word? Sorry if it is…

Hope your dad gets better soon, it’s always a VERY terrible stroke of bad luck for something like that to happen.

thats how life is.

hope you’ll push through all the bad and hope the surgery results yield good results.
11 Sasa 82 comments Dec 5th, 2006 at 11:12 pm

Wow, I think this is amazing. And I always think that I am an unlucky person. (By the way: Your life is eventful, at least that’s something *hrr hrr*)

I wish your father (and you) the best for the surgery. Good to hear that your chances are good ^^

Wish the best for you father
15 Kurogane 125 comments Dec 6th, 2006 at 12:49 am

Hmm.. that sucks.

I suggest fapping over Yakin Byoutou to relieve the shittiness.
16 TaKuYA_ 4 comments Dec 6th, 2006 at 12:57 am

Woh, dude, take care…
17 DrmChsr0 191 comments Dec 6th, 2006 at 1:18 am

>>Every gray cloud has a silver lining.

You sure that isn’t lightning? Better duck under cover.

And tj: Don’t worry too much about your dad. Sure, it’s the 21st century and we still rely on cutting people open to save them instead of other methods, but at least they actually have a good chance of recovery after that happens.

As for the stuff you lost, well, things can be replaced. A life can’t.

…ouch…now would be a good time to visit a temple, a fengshui master, or a exorcist…good respectable ones…best wishes for you father too…
19 halcyondf 54 comments Dec 6th, 2006 at 2:19 am

everything you lost is material in nature and can be bought again. Doesnt feels good to lost stuff, but things like that happen.

However, I wish your father a speedy recovery after the surgery. Health and family are 2 things u cant recover.

and google adsense has always sucked.

21 The Zee 9 comments Dec 6th, 2006 at 5:55 am

All my prayers reach out to the well-being of your dad more than anything else, but none the less, let’s hope you start getting good heapfuls of good luck after this whole ordeal.

Don’t worry, Haruhi-sama will bless your dad a swift recovery. If not, she will remake the World.

sorry to hear about your dad. wish him a speedy recovery
26 tj_han 1442 comments Dec 6th, 2006 at 9:19 am

Thanks everyone for your kind concern! Well, he’s in the operating theatre right now, I came home to get some stuff. And yeah, Yakin Byoutou really does show the great side of nurses doesnt it, Kuro? A new OVA seems to be coming out.

Rdrake: I may be wrong, but "condolences" seems to be used only for dead people.
27 yangyang 20 comments Dec 6th, 2006 at 11:10 am

Sounds like some real bad luck huh? Wish your dad all the best for his op and a speedy recovery.
28 Deathy 17 comments Dec 6th, 2006 at 11:40 am

Hope everything turns 180° and starts getting better tj_han.
29 Kurogane 125 comments Dec 6th, 2006 at 12:49 pm

Oh really? Hope to see the subs soon.

Wish your dad a speedy recovery.

P.S. I actually almost used “condolences” in my first comment.
30 Xak 72 comments Dec 6th, 2006 at 7:35 pm

GANBARE!
32 Dunks0r 3 comments Dec 10th, 2006 at 6:11 pm

Bugger about your Dad, hope it all works out for him. Thankfully that sort of operation is quite safe nowadays.

Know what you mean about streaks of bad luck, this year i have had my car actually blow up in a ball of flames, had a motorcycle accident which wrote off my bike and also myself, had a heart attack which again almost wrote me off. And recieved a notification saying i owe $2500 to the goverment due to my study load was insuffient for the funds i was receiving.

So i guess what im saying is always keep in mind luck will always change. Im waiting for my streak of good luck :o)

And yes Nurses rock, even if it takes a motorcycle accident and heart attack to find out how lucky we are to have them :o)
33 OU 19 comments Dec 10th, 2006 at 7:10 pm

Woah, when it rains it pours. Best wishes for your family, I hope your dad is better now
34 tj_han 1442 comments Dec 10th, 2006 at 7:25 pm

Just an update: He’s quite fine now albeit hurting from the op. We all know how life after painkillers suck.

DunkS0r: Wow that was some bad run of luck. Nurses are truly some of the the greatest females I’ve seen. We need more nurse anime RIGHT NOW.
35 Waterfall 122 comments Dec 10th, 2006 at 9:46 pm

Amen. Good nurses truly care.
36 Dunks0r 3 comments Dec 11th, 2006 at 1:04 pm

tj_han: Hell yeah, just no hentai nurse ones Something like Honey and Clover but with nurse students would make a great series!
37 Reflection 16 comments Dec 12th, 2006 at 9:11 am

It’s bad luck that.

As for Australia being bad luck, well….I live here in Australia, was born here, but want to live in Japan (may do it soon too), so it’s not like it’s a bad place! Just be more careful! ^^

As for your father, it’s great to know he pulled through. My father suffered through an operation to remove a melanoma, so know what life-threatening things are like to families. He’s fine too.

For nurses, they have to put up with some really bad people sometimes, especially those who work in nursing homes! All that crap….*_* But as for religious nuts, at least I collect figures too! ^^ (Done got religion myself). It’s all good! Keep up the good work, tj! ^_^

A close friend of mine died of a Heart Attack, his heart condition is caused by him being so obese.-*”
39 Hollie Powell 2 comments Jun 11th, 2010 at 1:49 pm

Heart attack could be prevented with exercise, diet and some food supplements like CoQ10.;’”

Do not use any < and > for your own sake. It will end the comment there and then. Also, there is an automatic IQ filter which weeds out comments made by those who accidentally got transported from the stone age.
