Speedy would have been 11 years old this year

Speedy was our first pet turtle. A good old neighbor gave this critter to us in 2008. We enjoyed taking care and playing with it until its unexpected demise a few years ago.

Speedy at four… Off to school’s Science exhibit in 2012

We badly miss Speedy and our other pets that already crossed the Rainbow Bridge

Santo Niño Shrine Museum

In 2008, hubby and his officemates were able to visit Tacloban City through the auspices of the company’s old patron. One of the places they visited was the Santo Niño Shrine in Tacloban City.

The Santo Niño Shrine used to be one of the 29 presidential rest houses of the late Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos.

Santo Niño is a representation of the infant Jesus Christ. He is the patron saint of Leyte.
In the background is the mosaic of Jesus Christ displayed on the wall.
