Berkeley, Tuesday, February 3, 2026 1:58 AM Although, it was not a long day. I was doing relevant activities until mid night. It came to my mind to check a few news. And some starts after midnight. I saw that Alcaraz, who I have followed since around 2022, won his at least seven Grand Slam, […]

A Bit on Self-Reflection and Punctuality
Berkeley, Sunday, February 1, 2026 1:44 PM I am writing this after arriving thirty minutes late to a study session at the library. I am doing this before praying the liturgy of the hours, answering at least one important email, before going to mass, and before writing. But after brunch. I need to learn better […]
The Beauty of Explaining Things in Simple Terms
Berkeley, Sunday, February 1, 2026 00:54 AM Life is consistent. But sometimes focus and attention no. There is a beautiful prayer before starting the liturgy of the hours or Divine office, which says as follows: “Lord, open my lips to praise your holy name. Cleanse my heart of any worthless, evil or distracting thoughts. Give […]
Bird by Bird
Berkeley, Thursday, January 29, 2026 3:07 AM The mind and my attention sometimes wonder between necessary and not urgent things. Even if I am not fully connected to the news. Then, it might become tougher to disclose what is one doing, but still important though might not here in the specifics. But I have been […]
Synod
Berkeley, Wednesday, January 28, 2026 2:02 AM I should not be writing here. Well that is still a dilemma to decide how much of a distraction ad of focus of my attention and time is this site. Of course, one learn things when one shares, or write them down in a conscious way, or vocalize […]
Assessment of right and wrong
Berkeley, Friday, December 19, 2025 4:53 PM (Wurster Hall 4th floor studio). Confidence is what thing. Only the heart knows what is right and wrong. The next question would be if is it a matter of confidence, conscience, uncomfort, pressure for having to do something, but although not necessarily distracted engaging in additional conversations, while […]
Seriousness
Berkeley, Tuesday, December 16, 2025 8:04 PM Ok. I am going against intuition to write here, instead to finish chapter 4, which then is against me. So then, why to just discharge something here. Sometimes, that have been the purpose of my blog. I know the first sentence I could delete, but I do not […]
Udienza Generale 12/10/25 Pope Leo XIV
Berkeley, Thursday, December 11, 2025 00:52 AM It is great that the transcript from the ongoing Pope’s Catechesis from every Wednesday is published online. However, why the gospel reading passage is not provided there? One would need to extract that from the video, also linked below. https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/it/audiences/2025/documents/20251210-udienza-generale.html OK. Update. Extracted from the audio in the […]
Time!
Berkeley, Saturday, December 13, 2025 1 pm The need of being serious about next day, upcoming tasks, and events. Sometimes, we might be on a mission. A book, even if it is a fictional book, it has a degree of autobiography. There were several days that days Frodo, and Sam, slept very little. Frodo had […]
