Welcome polymaths !

Ever get the feeling that you seem to don't know what to do with your life because there are just so many things that you want to do ? I know, I've been there, so welcome to the club.

My name is Zigfred Diaz and I am a polymath. After more than 6 years of bloging about almost anything under the sun and having sort of a "blogging identity crisis."

Counting Cards in Vegas?

by Leave a Comment

In my previous posts entitled “Increasing your online income through counting cards” I talked about how they keyword “counting cards” could be exploited to boosts your traffic and in return boosts your online income. But instead of exploiting the “counting cards” keywords, you want to play your luck at the real blackjack instead so plan your Las Vegas travel and hit the road. Unfortunately you end up loosing a lot of money so you decided that you just couldn’t figure out the counting cards methods used by the MIT blackjack team or that you aren’t just as smart as them so you decided to pack your bags and go home. But wait, before you do, set aside the counting cards mania for a while and get to enjoy Las Vegas. Although “Sin City” is known primarily for it’s debauchery and gambling, there are other sites to see such as several art galleries, museums, riding a Gondola, seeing fountain sculpture comes to life, eating the world’s largest hot dog, strolling over a simulated … [Read more...]

Why I don’t play golf

by Leave a Comment

I’ve played “mini-golf” with my relatives in my grandfather’s house. (He has a “mini-golf” course in his front yard) I’ve only played golf in a full course once and that was years ago. I never had the chance to play it again although I could if I wanted to, but I never did for a lot of reasons. First, I don’t have a set of clubs and if I got one it would be too expensive for me. Secondly, I do not know anybody personally who is my age who enjoys the game and who takes efforts to really go out and play it consistently. Thirdly, the game is somewhat expensive for us here in the Philippines. Fourthly, I don’t really enjoy playing in golf in a full course, I enjoy playing mini-golf more. Lastly, I am not really good in the game and I don’t see any point of being good at it considering the above mentioned reasons. I’ve never understood why a golfer needs so many clubs when he can do what he is suppose to do with 2 or 3 clubs. I even heard that there are clubs right now that does … [Read more...]

Health is wealth. . . But who is getting really wealthy?

by 2 Comments

Health is wealth. We use to often hear that saying. The phrase actually means that if you have good health you are wealthy, for the true measure of wealth is not only money. But could this saying have a different meaning? What if the saying has a literal meaning for some people? Well, in the Philippines for some it really does. Today the market is saturated with so called “Herbal food supplements” and savvy business people are catching on to this herbal food supplements food craze. I have nothing against herbal food supplements. In fact I take several of them myself everyday. Some of them are even highly recommended by good and reputable doctors. What I am against is the marketing of this product as a “cure all.” While it is true that some herbal food supplements are very effective against certain diseases, the fact that the Philippines’ bureau of food and drugs has only labeled these products as “food supplements” they should only be marketed as such. What is worse is … [Read more...]

Weight loss tips?

by 4 Comments

I am in no position to give out weight loss tips since I am overweight. I’ve tried a lot of exercise machines and programs, diet regimens, pills and other gimmicks and fads out there. The only thing I haven’t done is surgery (gastric bypass or liposuction) which I don’t dream of ever doing. I am not saying that any of the above that I tried to loose weight are not effective. They probably are. It’s just that I am too lazy or inconsistent to exercise or follow the diet regimen strictly. As for pills, there are some pills that may work for you but may work for me. There is one pill however that really made me loss weight. In fact I lost a considerable amount of weight that I adjusted my belt buckle 3 notches. I enjoyed it for sometime about 4 to 5 months. However I stopped taking the pill because I couldn’t sleep. I do not feel hungry at all. I think it will make me go crazy, so I stopped taking it. Add to the fact that there is no intensive long term clinical study done on the … [Read more...]

Increasing your online income through counting cards

by 4 Comments

As I wrote in my pervious posts, one of the greatest sources of a higher traffic is the optimization of the proper keywords and in order to do this we must be able to search out high trend, low density keywords or what I call personally as HITLOD. For those of you who are trying to drive traffic (I hope your driveway alarm does not ring because of this hehehe)  into your blogs through optimizing keywords you can read more about this in my post entitled “A step by step guide on how to optimize high trend-low density keywords.” I am not an SEO expert but I have learned a lot through the experiences of others and my own experience. I had my share of success stories with regards to optimizing certain keywords and I wish to share that experience to those who are new in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I regularly post about my SEO experiences and share good keywords from time to time. You can visit the “Making money online, Blogging, SEO” for more SEO tips and some good keywords to … [Read more...]
