Let me begin with an observation on the latter. Developmental pediatricians in the Philippines are a rare breed. Or that's what I noticed. From society and organization websites, to forums, to word-of-mouth, to my own experience, they seem to be outnumbered by people who need their expertise. A parent of a child with developmental delays has to wait weeks or months to see one developmental pediatrician. Only thirty are listed on the Philippine Society of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Twenty-five in one Filipino autism blog, and that is not purely DevPeds. A child psychologist, child psychiatrist, and pediatric neurologist are mixed in the list, although they certainly are a big help too. At my son's speech therapy and psychology center I hear the same account from other parents - securing a time slot with a DevPed is hard. They are all fully booked throughout what could turn into a year. You may be lucky if someone withdraws but that rarely happens. I'm playing
I have actually never been to a restaurant that has walls like the one in your photo. I know for sure that seeing one of those here in the Philippines will surely delight my child.

ReplyDeleteI've never been to a cafe like that... Well, our cafes here are just too simple but still, it would be amazing to have stuff like that.. Especially for me, since I'm a quote addict! :P

for the love of art! :) that's very good poetry. i haven't been to a cafe that has poetry scribbled on its walls, but this reminded me of TTC buses and subway in Toronto. every once in a while, for a period of time, the TTC would put up Canadian poetry posters into buses and trains, and it fascinates me a lot reading those :)
