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."

Bar Exams 2007 to be released by Friday or Saturday

by 3 Comments

Judgement day, D day, moment of truth those are just some of the words that bar candidates choose to call the day that the bar exams would be released. The Supreme Court in it's website has officially anounced that the results for the 2007 bar exams which was held last September 2007 will be finally released either Friday, March 28, 2008 or Saturday, March 29, 2008. The Supreme Court En Banc will still have to meet tomorrow morning (Friday) to decide on the final release date. It's do or die tommorow for the 5,799 bar candidates that will no doubt be loosing sleep starting tonight. Rumors has been circulating that there were only 300 that passed the 2007 Philippine bar exams. If this is true only 6 % passed in what is regarded as the hardest exam in the Philippines. But I doubt if the rumors are true. The average passing rate since the 1950s was always within the 20% plus range. This point in time takes me back a year ago when I was awaiting the results of the 2006 bar exams. … [Read more...]

My Blog is being overhauled !!!!

by 4 Comments

If you notice my blog is stripped bare and does not use to look as it did before. I am currently doing an “overhaul”of my blog. I apologize to all of my readers, advertisers, fans, entrecard droppers etc. for this inconvenience. Hopefully this "overhauling" will be completed this week. The reason for this overhauling is because Rob Schultz an SEO expert of truebluetitan.com, pointed out to me that my blog contains a lot of errors in the eyes of search engine bots. This might affect my search engine rankings including a rich user experience. I will write in detail about this later on in one of my posts. Some of the graphics, youtube videos and other stuff that I use to run in the front page are still deactivated. So do not be surprise if you click on posts that are empty. All of the archived posts are however working.  However you might be interested to have your blog or website validated. Check out the Validator. Whew ! Validation is a painstaking work. I wish there was … [Read more...]

How Mr. Bean can help bring traffic to your blog or website

by 2 Comments

Searching for keywords to optimize is always fun! Most of the times you will be surprised what people are searching for when they are browsing the internet. I have discussed this before in my Googel = Googol = ? post. But for those of you who did not read my previous posts here is a little bit of explanation. As I told you before one of the keys to traffic is the look for “high traffic or high trend, low density” words. By high trend we mean there are thousands of people looking for the word. This can easily be determined by going to google trends and typing your keyword. When it shows a graph that means that the word you entered is being searched by hundreds or even thousands of people. However you need to check if the graph trend is going up, down or if it has stopped. Some keywords have consistently high graphs, others have consistently low graphs. Others have erratic graphs, examples of these are keywords that only shows a high traffic during certain seasons like valentines, … [Read more...]

Volare is Italian for the infinitive form of the verb "to fly." It is also part of the refrain from the song entitled "Nel blu dipinto di blu" (literally "In the blue painted blue") by Domenico Modugno and Franco Migliacci. The refrain became so popular that from that time on the song was known as "Volare." Well “Volare” does not have anything to do with money saving tips, financial management or any of the major topics in this blog. I just want to give you guys a good laugh. Check out this “Volare” adaptation by two Filipino self styled youtube comedians who call themselves "moymoy palaboy" and laugh yourself out. You can also check out some of their popular yotube videos. P.S: The end of the yotube video simply says: "And since that time the mustache was never found" … [Read more...]

I mentioned earlier that I will resume my blogging activities on the first week of April. But a post by Marghil at macuha.com, really intrigued me. He mentioned that a blogger named Eli discovered two interesting keyword. Those are the keywords Googel and Googol. Keywords are very important to bloggers because it will bring us more traffic. The more traffic you have the more page impressions you will have, the more chances of people clicking your ads and the more chances of you selling products.
