Your Obstetrician – Gynecologist

Bonding with your spouse starts on the first pre-natal checkup

And gets stronger when labor pains strike. A healthy husband-and-wife relationship is witnessed big-time during checkups and on D-day. Husbands, better be around when it counts the most!

Please heed your doctor’s advice to the hilt

Help us help you.

Don’t put us in between to keep the peace

Spare us from arbitrating if hubby fell prey to one night of indiscretion and contracted an STD.

A yearly pap smear is indispensable

A cervical vaccine against HPV (human papilloma virus), outstanding! Good health is great wealth.

Ax these cosmic myths

i.e. aspirin in your Coke makes for a good contraceptive; standing up after s*x spills the sperms; or soaping with your favorite feminine wash lowers the risk of acquiring an STD.

Your Dentist

Kindly come on time all the time

Just like yours, other people’s teeth are waiting for a fix, too.

The dental clinic is not a wet market

Please don’t haggle too much.

Please brush your teeth before your appointment

It’s a simple gesture of respect for your doctor.

Junk the junk if you detest tooth decay

The powdered flavorings in chips from acids that slowly create holes in the tooth’s enamel. Yes, what started as a needlepoint-sized caries can eat up the entirety of your shiny white tooth.

Be faithful with your semi-annual health check

Don’t cop out when it comes to dental care. A once-a-year date is not enough collateral for your molars and incisors.

Your Child’s Yaya / Nanny

Namimilipit ang dila naming mag-ingles

Baka magdugo ang ilong namin. (Speaking English can be tongue-twisting. We’re afraid our nose might bleed.)

Sana makita n’yo ang lahat ng ginagawa namin

We wish you could see everything that we do.

Kung unsay mga rules sa balay kung mga bata!

How we wish the children would obey all the rules at home!

Ang pagsagot sa amin gamit ang “po” at “opo” ay nkakataba ng puso

Using po and opo when talking to us makes our hearts swell.

Sana matuto kaming gumamit ng coffeemaker at blender

Mukhang masarap ang Starbucks coffee. (We wish to learn to use the coffeemaker and blender. Starbucks coffee looks yummy, but a ‘house blend’ is fine, too.)
