The photos I showcased on my LO where taken last year during our family holiday dinner at the Spiral Restaurant of Hotel Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila. And working on this LO made me a bit emotional. I really miss my family. Especially this year that we're not coming home to Manila for the holidays.
Here goes my LO project I titled Celebrate Family.
Close up on the title.
The journalling reads.
"Christmas is the best time to reconnect with the family. And so this is what I look forward to during this season. It's just sad that we won't be coming home this year to celebrate the holidays with our loved ones. But I am sure we will be missed."
