Give it up!

It's the lent season again, and today is Ash wednesday. I admit, I mistakenly ate pork this morning cause I just didn't really realize that today is the start of Lent, well not until I was already walking to work and seeing people with crosses on their forehead. Anyway, Lent is all about repentance and sacrifice. So what are you giving up this lent? Some may say internet, or pork, or desserts. Me? I have not really thought about it. I'm still thinking what could be a good thing to give up that really can say sacrifice ( not just those little things, like I'm giving up chocolate ( not for lent but for my diet))... Maybe this discussion can help me to decide what would I give up for 46 days.

Hello ingking, Frankly, i forgot or didn't remember that it was ash wednesday. when you're not workign it seems that every day is an eternity. although i did something else like cleaning my room which was logical and not eating pork. i wonder if there's going to be another ash wednesday next month.

Ahehehe. I think you're not supposed to eat pork every friday till the holy week. But I had this conversation with my officemates, and sacrifice doesn't really mean just eating pork, it can be anything that would entail sacrifice for you.
