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." I've finally embraced who I am and decided to turn my main blog into some sort of guide for people with so much interest. Feel free to poke around.

Nonito Donaire vs. Manuel Vargas youtube video

by Leave a Comment

I didn’t get a chance to feature a live streaming of the Nonito Donaire vs. Manuel Vargas fight last weekend so I will be featuring the Nonito Donaire vs. Manuel Vargas youtube video. Once again the “Filipino flash” Nonito Donaire has brought the Filipinos glory when he scored a victory over Mexican fighter Manuel “Chango” Vargas. This improved Nonito Donaire’s ranking to 23 wins 15 of those via knock outs while bringing Manuel Vargas record to 5 losses. The fight dubbed as Pinoy Power 3 or Latin Fury in pay-per-view was held last February 13, 2010 at the Las Vegas Hilton in Las Vegas, Nevada. Donaire’s original opponent was suppose to be Gerson Guerrero but Guerrero failed his eye exam so he was “substituted” by Vargas. Vargas’ who use to have a 26-4-1 record was knocked down by Nonito Donaire on the 3rd round. It seems that Vargas couldn’t cope with Donaire’s speed, power and skills as Donaire has trained hard on commercial fitness equipment. This was the Filipino flash first … [Read more...]

by 1 Comment

Manny Villar has been somewhat silent for a long time about the C-5 road controversy. For a long time, he has not answered the accusation in the senate since the controversy erupted. Finally on Feburary 2, 2010, Manny Villar gives a privilege speech defending himself against the accusation hurled against him concerning the C-5 road controversy. Here is the Full transcript of Manny Villar's privilege speech on the C-5 controversy courtesy of ABS-CBN. The speech is quite long, which I could quick trim it, but I can't so just bear reading. Mr. President: I stand before the Senate and the People of the Philippines in defense of my name, my honor, and dignity against my accusers in the so-called C5 controversy. To set the records straight and to prove to everybody na hindi ako duwag at hindi ako sinungaling. Wala pong duwag na taga-Tondo. Ako’y dating mahirap; di ko ikinahihiya ang aking pinagmulan. Sa murang edad, nalaman ko agad na di ako kakain kung di ito … [Read more...]

Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010 medal standing and tally

by Leave a Comment

Unlike the regular Olympics the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010 didn’t create much buzz in our country and I presume neither did it become a buzz in other countries where there is no snow. Add to this is the fact that the Philippines and other countries where there is no snow did not send a delegation or did only send a limited delegation to the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010. Nevertheless it is still exciting to monitor the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010 considering that like the regular Olympics, it is one of the few occasions wherein countries, people and different races from all over the world meet together in the spirit of friendship and sportsmanship. It must be pretty exciting for the delegation from each country to be competing with the best of the world. Equally excited is the citizens of the countries who have sent huge delegations. I can't believe the Olympians in the Olympics now a days. Some of them are so big. They must have taken some human growth hormones. Anyway, … [Read more...]

The new Maceren MP-4 or Mclaren MP-4?

by Leave a Comment

Last December 2009,  my uncle told us that a search in the internet revealed that a company is coming up with a concept car and has decided to name the car the “Maceren MP-4” Naturally we were intrigued that a car would bear the family’s surname. Of course it was kind of cool to know that a car bears your surname (My middle name in my case), not to mention that it is a cool concept sports car! He showed us a website featuring a really cool looking car that is worthy to be compared to other hot cars like a Ferrari parts, Mercedez or Lamborghini. When we saw the website we read that the car was called the “Maceren Mp-4” because the blog writer who I believe spoke Spanish wrote it as “El nuevo Maceren MP4- 12C” (Translated as “The New Maceren MP-4”) Well, I never really gave it much thought until today. I never had a thing for cars. I am contented with my Suzuki Alto. Anyway, I searched the internet for the “Maceren MP-4” but the search engines never revealed what I was looking … [Read more...]
