i have another question abot the word بلا

this is word i have heard a lot and i didnt think it was so negative but when i looked it up it was very negative, it means: disaster, misfortune, misery

i always had the feel that it described something negative but in a somewhat positive way, like bacheye balaa which is a kid that is a bit problematic but still loveable.

can someone please bring clarity to me? this is balaa
