DeleteI really like both! Really meaningful.. Why can't forget? I always forgot what makes me upset.. :) I'll start argument with hubby and when he asked why am I angry, I can't remember why but I know I'm upset with him.. so no other choice but to drop the matter :( but it's good in a way :) hehe..
