If you know of someone who works for a company specializing in fibre cement products, you better caution him of the possible effects that he might get especially when he's exposed with the asbestos mineral. These fibers are often present in products such as low density insulation board and ceiling tiles, asbestos-cement sheets and pipes for construction, casing for water and electrical/telecommunication services and thermal and chemical insulation (i.e., fire rated doors, limpet spray, lagging and gaskets). There have been notable cases that exposure to this mineral causes a form of cancer, mesothelioma. Although there are already laws protecting workers against asbestos manufacturers and employers on this, they still have to be wary and be protected.

Can't Wait To Be An Angel.
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God: “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
“But tell me, here in Heaven, I don’t do anything else but sing and smile, that’s enough for me to be happy.”
“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”
“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don’t know the language that men talk?”
“Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.”
“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”
“Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”
“I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?”
“Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.”
“Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly:
“Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”
“Your angel’s name is of no importance, you will call your angel: Mommy.”
God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
“But tell me, here in Heaven, I don’t do anything else but sing and smile, that’s enough for me to be happy.”
“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”
“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don’t know the language that men talk?”

“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”

Just one more week, my Baby A. I may see you already anytime soon. :) Can't wait to be your Angel.

SoundDock.
I was scouring the web for Bose headphones when I saw this on Bose website:
It's a Bose® SoundDock® Digital Music System...just perfect for hubby's iPOD which he truly enjoys and treasures..(why not, it's my Christmas gift to him!) With this one, you just simply dock and play to fill the room with vibrant, detailed sound enhancing one's enjoyment of the music stored in the iPOD. Aside from the remote control that is already included so you can play with it across the room, the iPOD automatically charges while it's docked and playing. Cool isn't it? I bet hubby would love to have this one, too.
Looking Forward.
I was trying to publish this entry at about 10 am this morning but due to system errors I got from blogger, my draft "slept" in here throughout the day. We're here in Frisco already and obviously, I won't be having an internet-less weekend after all..yipee! I'll finally get to bloghop over my online chums' nooks.
********************************************************
I have to check in here before I get to have an internet-less weekend again (yup, connection hasn't still been restored in our Frisco abode). At any rate, I'm still glad that the week is almost over. At last, I can relax and get away from work. I'm actually looking forward to this weekend since I'll be having my prenatal check-up again. I'm approaching my 36th week so I'm excited to hear some Baby A updates and developments.
So there, let's see if I can squeeze some time to do my Fridays Feast later. For the mean time, I have to go and help a colleague canvass for cheap pens which our Sourcing group would be needing for their promotional activity next week. See yah!

MIA?
I know I promised that I'd still keep this blog. And I still do. I have been missing in action lately primarily because I'm so busy with work (what's new with that excuse?). Also, I haven't totally been absent since, as previously mentioned, I'll be seen more in my main blog. So if you wanna know more about my latest musings, just head over there. There's not much though since I've really been loaded at work especially that I'll be on Maternity Leave soon.
To aggravate things, we're having problems with our internet service provider at our Frisco home since last week. Hubby complained about this already and they said that they're fixing things. I wonder how long will it take them to fix. The family's computer business has been closed for several days already and it ain't good. Hubby is now contemplating of changing ISPs and buying a mobile router for a better and reliable internet service.
