Happy Anniversary, Tita Nene & Tito Jun – July 6, 1990 💐🇵🇭🇺🇸 Posted on July 6, 2025 📸 July 6, 1990 – Pasadena, CA. Celebrating the wedding of Grace Perseveranda & Castor “Jun” Silvestre. Today we celebrate the 35th wedding anniversary of Grace Perseveranda and the late Castor “Jun” Silvestre — married on July 6, 1990 in the beautiful city of Pasadena, California. 💍🌴 It was a classic SoCal summer day when two beautiful families came together. My girlfriend at the time, Liza Franco, even flew in from Chicago to attend. I had just returned to California after living in the Windy City, and this wedding was one of the first family celebrations I was part of back in LA. In this special photo are: Vincent Putong (my future brother-in-law), my sister Joy, our dad Ronnie, mom Nati, BFF Liza, and me. We stood proudly by the window, soaking in both the sunlight and the joy of the day. Tita Nene, we remember your special day. And to Tito Jun —...

Flashback to Summer 1985 This was summer before my freshman year at UC Davis. It should be September because I was supposed to be moving into the dorms. But Tita Myrna lost an expensive bracelet in our house and I found it under the sofa mattress in the den. Tita Myrna asked me to fly down, with both Liza and Frances having offered to pay for my flight. How can I refuse that?! LOL Tita Myrna was my mom's coworker in Illinois Masonic Hospital, and our neighbor in the 20-story Barr Tower. She lived on the 2nd floor, while we lived initially on the 8th floor and moved to a 2-bedroom apartment on the 12th floor. Frances had been my classmate in 6th grade in St. Sebastian in Chicago. But Liza and I both remember that Tita Myrna had taken us to something with our siblings, maybe a movie when we were younger. I have always admired Sophia Loren, so we took a photo with her.

Flashback to Disneyland 2015 2015 June 15. Anaheim, CA. Taken at Disneyland's Autopia . Tess had to stay back due to work. So it was just the kids and I who went to SoCal for summer vacation. Reppin' the Bay Area with Jian wearing his Stephen Curry t-shirt and me wearing my favorite SF Giants Tim Lincecum t-shirt as the Golden State Warriors had just beaten the Cavaliers the day before to take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals. The Dubs would win the championship the next day.   Jian, Chesca, Nica & J.F. Autopia is the only existing Tomorrowland attraction dating back to Disneyland Park’s opening day in 1955. When the cars first took to the road, they captured America’s fascination with the latest transportation innovation, the “freeway.” Join us & help build this Los Angeles Filipino-American community.
