Yes, life is full of disappointments. It's full of other stuff, good things, but it's never fun to be disappointed. I had expected to be at my grandmother's today. Things happened, and I won't be able to be with her this weekend. If things go well later, I will be able to see her the next weekend. So fingers crossed!
What was your last disappointment?

my last disappointment was to be evicted then have the lady who was going to stake us to three months of rent in an apartment in Antioch as she had alread signed the agreement and then reneged when we were about to move up there.this made us truly homeless. well at last my son had me put here as I am 83 and a diabetic with a bad leg. I had a wound on top of my bad foot what would not heal so now I went to this tiresome retirement center. he is still out of work and still in gove sponsored housing only a couple of miles away.

I was actually disappointed just now...I was expecting that I'd be able to go to the mall later to meet-up someone for my small business [I was looking forward to it, cause I'd be able to go to the mall..lol]. I was thinking that my parents would be home to look after my baby, but then my mom just told me that they were going out for business as well. So, yeah, I had to cancel my appointment and stay home to take care of my baby.

I'm sorry that your plans didn't work out for this weekend. Sometimes things happen for a reason, maybe fate has something else planned for you this weekend. Over and above enjoying the heat...lol.
Probably my last disappointment was this past Christmas. I had a bit dinner planned, but with the ice and snow storm, no one came. My son, who works just 20 miles from here, was stranded and couldn't get home until late Christmas night. By then no one wanted a big meal. Next year when I'm wishing for a 'white Christmas', I better be more specific and wish for a 'little white Christmas'.

I really can't exactly remember the last time that I felt so disappointed because I have encountered so much already. But, I always remain positive at all times. There were instances that I would prefer giving up but it won't contribute any good. Through disappointments, I became stronger and because of it, I became so thankful about what life has offer me.

a few weeks ago, my application for new passport was rejected and i was really really disappointed at that because i've been preparing all the requirements and i set my appointment with them a month before the said appointment date. i'm planning to have my passport because by August i was hoping to go to shanghai or singapore but yeah, my application got rejected because i'm still below 18, and my mom's passport is expired and i thought that bringing her would be fine but no, i didn't know that one of my parents should have a valid passport. so okay, it was partly my fault. but i was disappointed about it.

I also some bitterness and disappointment. Me and my close friend plan to have a business this year, but lately her decision change. Not thoroughly, actually the real reason is she have to have somebody to take over the business, which is our business because she will be busy in school. I am busy with my job too so we need other person to take care of the business. Until now she can't find anyone. I am so disappointed because she never mentioned she will not be the one who will be there for the business, but I understand on the other hand that she have to go to school. Now the business is pending.

Shame about your weekend, hope next week will work out for you. The last disappointment I had was seeing our mortgage interest rates go up yet again leaving us with practically no extra money for ourselves each payday! I do feel let down but nothing can be done about it .I suppose we are luckier than some. It is just a bit of a worry when the family starts to rely on my online earnings!

my last disappointment was late yesterday, when we went the mall with my boyfriend,.
at the mall we will window shopping,. taking a picture, and we also took a picture of manila bay,
before we go there, my boyfriend told me we are there until evening, but we went home right away, and suddenly came the rain that was my disappointment, i assume we watch the fireworks, and still remain in the mall until evening.,
i expect to be happy but my expectation will give me a disappointment.
so from now on i always use the phrase
"expect the worst!" LOL :P

my last disappointment was last night I was having flu(fever and colds and cough).Me and my husband don't live together during weekdays, because of our jobs. I was hoping he would visit me in my place but he didn,t, Since it's just a 2 hour drive. I just cried all night, And he does not even have an idea about it.

My previous job disappointed me lot as I was paid for no work. I was scared about my time and skills where I became like idle. Now I have much handfull of innovative work where I can gain more knowledge aswell good spirits.
Hips Hops are common in life but we must wait for good turn that gives change. Time is also major factor in this scenario.
