When you're a mom to five kids, it's no secret that
everything must be neatly scheduled. There's no time for dilly-dally, or else
chores and such will definitely pile up on you. Laundry, for example, is a
staple duty of a mom. It is a dire task, and takes up most of your time – or all
of your time if you don't know how to. And Unfortunately, I, who started
working at a young age, did not learn how to do it properly. I was focused on
working outside, and providing for my family. Thus, needless to say, the stress
that tagged along was not to be taken lightly.
Besides laundry, there is a general rule that
mothers' musn’t settle for anything less than what's best when it goes down to
her kids. Everything must be thoroughly scanned and checked. There's no room
for “pwede na yan” judgements. Why? Of course, it's all for their sake.
However, when your kids are a handful, five to be exact, choosing what's best
is not the only agenda, but choosing what's best within the budget.
I can say that I'm a very practical mom. I know how
to stretch a peso into something worth more – of course without sacrificing the
quality. I am kuripot, and all my children are very aware of this. Gambling is
not my game. I allot my money only on things that I am sure of.
Now, whenever I encounter a new product, my motto is
“to see is to believe”. I have come across so many products that promise so
much yet prove so little, and every time this happens I learn to be wiser in
choosing. I must not be swayed by the grand commercials and advertisements, but
the product itself.
Last week, Manny Paquiao was not the only one to
face a fight. I too went battle laundry that day! Ariel hosted an event in
Angono with the theme: Higanteng Linis, Higanteng Fiesta, wherein a thousand
people will be fed. True to its word, the gathering mirrored a grand fiesta!
Hordes of people came in despite the hot weather. It was so nice to see the
very long line of people, along with the rows of perfectly white table cloths.
Why white? Well, the event's purpose was to let the people enjoy food without
worrying about the mess.
Everyone enjoyed all kinds of food served for lunch. Also, there were fun games and a raffle. There was also a photo booth that ensured nobody would go home empty-handed. And of course, the Ariel team made sure to give away amazing prizes to take home by the participants!
While everyone was enjoying the prepared feast, Rocksteddy serenaded the crowd. Meanwhile, the
Ariel team was busy preparing the cloths' laundrying. I chose 8 table cloths
that really looked messed up. They were filled with sauces and dirt patches of
all kind. I personally joined the team in washing these cloths to see for
myself if what the TV ads said were true. We soaked them for about 20 minutes
and voila! It really worked as promised. The stains were very loose and easy to
hand washing. They looked brand-new! If I did not join the team in washing, I
might've thought that they replaced them with new ones. To make sure that they
were thoroughly cleaned, the cloths were paraded and inspected by different
people. Of course, they found nothing but white. You may think I'm exaggerating
but I'm not. Why not test it yourself?
20 minutes of laundry with Ariel – that saves a lot of time in mom's world. It's pocket-friendly, and efficient. Definitely, I will stay loyal to Ariel, because as the saying goes, “It's small but terrible”.
BIG CHALLENGE, BIG HIGANTES, BIG PALAYOK, BIG HAPPINESS
