Love: Today, after spending months comparing the previous weather forecasts... - FML

By GirlyClaire - 29/03/2013 11:37 - Japan - Tokyo

Today, after spending months comparing the previous weather forecasts to work out the exact date, and after travelling 12000 km by plane to see the cherry blossoms in bloom in Japan, I learned that this year, they bloomed 10 days earlier than expected. And to top it off, it turns out I’m allergic. FML

Well look on the bright side, you went to Japan. Even if you were allergic, it would be nice to see new things there.

Reminds me of the time I went to China during their winter and it started snowing two days before departing back to Australia. Bad luck, OP.

Going to Japan JUST to see sakura bloom is not really wise. You can see blooming cherries everywhere. And frankly apple trees bloom just as spectacular. So I hope you planned a lot more things to do while there, otherwise ydi

I actually really feel for OP, because this is something I've wanted to do myself for a while now.

If you came to Japan ONLY to see the Cherry Blossoms (and didn't bother to check the current status of the blossoms from Japanese websites/newspapers etc..) YDI. Also, you could have just bought a train ticket north from Tokyo and still have seen cherry blossoms during your stay since they bloom later. Overall, I hope you did more in Japan than just try and see some cherry blossoms as there is tons of things to do and see here.

Sucks, but at least you can enjoy Japan. I had an awesome time there.

I went to Vancouver, Canada once and in the spring and there are amazing cherry blossoms. Anyway, bad luck.

Today, I was taking a shower when the soap began to burn my eyes worse than they've ever burned before. I quickly grabbed whatever cloth I could find to rub my eyes with. My dad's old underwear was the last thing I would expect to find lying near the tub. FML

Today, I was in an elevator with my girlfriend when it suddenly stopped. Thinking of being spontaneous like in all the movies, I propped her up on the railings and started getting passionate. That's when the emergency phone rang. And I discovered there was a security camera. FML

Today, one of my guy friends, who I’m not interested in romantically, asked me out on a date. This is the third time a "friend" has asked me out on a date. FML

Today, I realized I've been avoiding a doctor's visit for issues, because it might be less painful to go out that way than to see how much more a crapshoot 2021 would be. FML

Today, the drummer from my band stole the $200 deposit for our rental practice space and used it for a trip down to Maryland with his girlfriend. A few hours ago, my brother and I found him passed out in his cousin's house, very hungover. His first words to us were, "Can I borrow 20 bucks?" FML

Today, my father tried to secretly follow me all day, because he doesn't believe that I have any "real" errands to run or friends to meet with. He's actually convinced that I'm living some secret double life with another family. FML

Today, my brother is staying over for a while. I thought I was prepared for this, but I totally forgot that he is inexplicably prone to having random nosebleeds. He's going through my Kleenex faster than a horny teenage boy left alone in his room. Time to hoard Kleenex like how people hoarded toilet paper in 2020. FML
