Lent

the Period of Lent started 2 days ago, on 17th Feb 2010. It will last for 40 days and end off during the Easter period.

As a catholic-to-be, i decided to practice fasting during this period as well.
the fasting (in the christian faith) need not be meals. it can refer to abstinence from (vices) activities such as smoking, drinking etc etc.

It's a way to remind ourselves that its Lent during this period and that we can overcome our "vices" through prayer and strength.

As such, I have decided to abstain from taking in meat (unless very necessary and shall be on small quantities) and scolding vulgarities during these 40 days.

I am not up to that level to abstain from my viceroys and beers yet. don't worry. :P
