minispin

Posted on November 20, 2006

This is our new toy.

I never thought I would be so excited by an item so….domesticated as the minispin.

Ever since we got married, Ramil and I would have our laundry done by a nearby laundry shop. This usually costs us around 250-300 every week. For the past 2 weeks, we’ve been bringing our laundry all the way to my parents’ house in Novaliches and ask our helper to do it for us. We would pay her 200 pesos but she would always only accept the 100 pesos. With the addition to our small family coming this January (and being the delicate little beings babies tend to be), we realized we couldn’t keep on asking other people (laundry shop or parents’ helper) to do the dirty work for us. Plus, we would need to do the laundry more than once a week so that the baby always has clean clothes.

We were watching a local channel (ABC5) last week when we happened upon their own version of Home TV Shopping. There we chanced upon the temporary answer to our prayers. Ramil and I wanted to buy an automatic washing machine originally but we deemed it an unnecessary expense right now. Plus, we wanted a machine that would let us do small washes since we don’t consume a lot of clothes in a few days.

The minispin is a cute little thing now outside our bathroom. It’s so small, it can only wash 2 kg of clothes per load. In effect, it doesn’t make the chore that heavy. Did I mention that it also has a dryer too? Damn, I’m turning into a wife and mommy
