Tomorrow will be the start. From March 1 to 7 is fasting week for me and to the others who are attending the feast. I think that this would be a great time to know more about God, to talk to him and have intimate moments with the Lord. Fasting would also lead to self realizations and getting to know more about yourself  with His presence. And I believe that this is an essential part that I need to do in my quest to be a better man. For God, for those I love and just simple for the people around me or for everyone.

Taken from Mr. Bo's fasting booklet.

- Fasting declares that you're dead serious about pursuing Him because you're crazy enough to say No to something as basic as food. If you can say No to a basic need, what else can you not do for the Lord?

Choosing My Fast.

I opted to choose the liquid fast. Having only water and juices preferably fresh fruit and vegetable juices as my daily source of nutrition for the week. And like Mr. Bo. I believe that this is the best kind of fast.. from a physical health perspective. This would help flush out all the toxins in my body. And with the liquid fasting.. I decided to add something extra. As taken from some examples on the booklets' list.

Fast from all that's harmful to your life. (check)

Fast from unhealthy food. (check)

Fast from your addictions such as smoking and alcoholism. (uhm. check. I quited smoking years ago during my 1st year college because i got "basted" by the first girl i ever courted. And about alcohol. I am not that much of a heavy drinker. I am what you call the social drinker. And I was able to live without drinking alcohol for 3 years so what's a week compared to that. Guess i just have to say no to social gatherings this week. XD )

Fast from your arrogance and gossip. (Double check. Include stubborness in here. hehe)

Fast from a critical spirit and negativity. (Triple check. Fast from all the suffering and pains.)

and I have yet to decide whether I should fast from too much internet. XD

And that's about it.

Good thing I started soft diet yesterday. Had mangoes and strawberries for lunch. And Gatorade for dinner.
and today. Had fruit and vegetable salad for lunch from kenny rogers and ginataang talbos ng kamote plus strawberry shake for dinner.

Tomorrow's a big day.. So i'm gonna start this one right. and It feels like March 1 is just the beginning of the year 2010 for me. haha. And about that.. I wanted to end the month of february by going back to my sanctuary. And just watch the last february sunset. It has been a month now since i went to that place. But i decided not to. I don't want to sulk in the very same spot where I could have done something very special for us..
