You know what’s hot and in these days? Hybrid Cars. Yep, going hybrid is the best and smartest thing to do amidst the global oil crisis we are currently facing. I have heard in the news that there are families selling their cars (SUVS mostly) because they simply cannot afford to fuel it up and go places. Many have traded their unleaded-driven cars to diesel-run ones. Most taxi cabs use the LPG device to run mileage on. But using hybrid cars are going to be the future mode of transport for tomorrow.

Basically, a hybrid car is a vehicle that has two engines: a gas engine and an electric engine. Today, there are newer models of hybrid cars - but nothing beats the popularity of the Toyota Prius. These days, however, it is easier to find hybrid cars - and I predict this will be the car for 2009.

And why wouldnt you go hybrid? You’ll spend less on gas, help the environment, lessen dependence on foreign oil imports and if in the US, be eligible for tax credits! It doesnt necessarily mean that by using an electric engine you need to be plugged in - just use hybrid car batteries, it’s just charging a battery!

Yes, you have read it right. Even garage spaces can now be rented!

In London, there are parking spaces or garages that one can rent on a monthly basis. Garages for rent have been a common commodity as it is cheaper than having to park your car on a parking space and paying an hourly fee. With garages you rent, you are also guaranteed of a space to park your car everyday!

If you own a garage or a space that you would like to rent out, you can go to Parklet so that they can obtain all what it needs to have your space rented - to looking for tenants, to managing the space, preparing contracts and collecting the rental payment every month. They are largest supplier of monthly contract parking to individuals and businesses throughout the UK

I looked at their site and I think the Quick Search button was a good way to easily search for spaces according to city, they even have a mapview if anyone would prefer it that way. And if you are always in the lookout for space, you can stay on top ot by subscribing to their feed of new spaces, they have the RSS button on their site. This is what every metropolitan city needs!

I think that’s how people react these days whenever they stop to fill up their tanks at gas stations. Price of fuel is so high these days - and it’s not only within the country, it really is a worldwide crisis! It is a crisis because government agencies are even seriously considering going the 4 day, 10hour work week to save on gas and electric consumption. More employees leave their car at home and commute. Worse, there are even those who have decided to sell their SUVs for a cheaper car that runs on diesel (I actually think that is a smarter move - why use a car that is so high to maintain these days?) Inflation is very high. However, analysts say that now is the time to really invest if you have the money - houses are so cheap and cars for sale in san diego come with special conditions, freebies and even fuel for a number of months. I wish we have saved for the rainy days!

I’m pretty sure hotels in Las Vegas are fully booked right now because of the Pacquiao-Barrera fight! Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel would be one of them! It is a great location for a hotel, because it is located near the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo Rd, in the heart of the strip, not far from the McCarran International Airport and very close to many Las Vegas attractions, including the Sands Expo Center, the Forum Shops, Fashion Show Mall, and much, much more! In other news, Pacman won! Hurray for the Filipino people! We were not able to watch it as we were in TriNoMa earlier (story to come), however, according to my uncle it was a unanimous decision and the fight was boring because Barrera was not fighting as he should. He even had a foul before the the call. Unfair! Well, Pacquiao won!

And he is many million dollars richer! Did you see his ad for Nike?! WOAH! Totally effective.
