The Miami Reunion
The 1990 Tolentino Family Reunion was hosted by the family of Luis and Salem Tolentino. It was held at the residence of Al and Alice Tolentino in Miami, Florida. The theme of the reunion was the Fabulous 50s, and there was a lip synch contest. We also went to Walt Disney World, EPCOT Center, and on a one-day cruise.
This was the first night of the reunion. We are going nuts for some reason. I'm in the back row in the white shirt with my arm raised. |
The four oldest grandsons of Vicente and Felicita Tolentino: PM, Coco, myself, and Charles. |
Someone had the brilliant idea that the Vicente family should all dress in fluorescent clothes. I'm in the front with the green shirt and pink shorts. |
This is the Corpuz family at the time of the 1990 reunion. I was in the 7th grade at that time, and Jordan was in first. |
This is during "surahan." What happens is that the adults throw money at the kids and we try to pick up as much as we can. |
I played something on the piano during the talent show. You get money for that, too. I messed up a couple times, but I made some decent cash. |
There was a family trivia contest at this reunion. This is the final round. As you can see, I was a lot older than the competition, and I won easily. |
The big group of Tolentinos take a picture next to Uncle Al's pool in his backyard. I'm in the middle of the front row in the green shirt. |
PM, Charles, Coco, and myself during the lip synch contest. We came in third place. My dad took first prize. |
This is the first in a long line of matching t-shirts that we've worn at family reunions. I'm sitting Indian-style in the front. |
One of the games we played was an egg toss. PM was my partner, but we lost to Coco and Charles (next to me). |
We went to mass on Sunday morning and then we went out to eat at a Chinese restaurant. I'm in the front sitting Indian-style again. |
Clockwise from top left: myself, Anisa, Anna, Charles, Barbra, PM, Tony, Ian, Artie, Coco, AL, Alona, Jordan, Lora, Katrina, and Julian. |
The family all migrated to Uncle Vic's house in Sarasota after the Miami festivities were done. |
