Celebrating milestones holds a special place in our hearts, creating lasting memories that we cherish for a lifetime. One such cherished occasion in my family was the celebration of my sister's birthday at Lantaw Native Restaurant, followed by a visit to the religious place, the Sto. Niño Church.
Good day hivers! It's me @marie.creates. How have you been? I hope you're doing great. I've been busy lately with school related activities and now it's time to breathe❤️. Join me and my sister as we went to the City to celebrate her birthday.
LANTAW NATIVE RESTAURANT
Lantaw Native Restaurant, located in Cebu South Coastal Road in IL Corso with a breathtaking sea view, provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable celebration. The cold breeze, beautiful ambiance, coupled with delectable cuisine, created an atmosphere of joy and happiness. As we indulged in a culinary journey of exquisite flavors, laughter and conversations filled the air, making the day truly magical.
The restaurant's scenic setting allowed us to bask in the beauty of the surroundings, enhancing the joy of the celebration. I appreciate the beauty around since it's my first time here. The approachable and smiling staff at Lantaw Restaurant ensured that every moment was special, they presented us with the menu and we ordered right away. The aroma of the food was so tempting that it made me to taste it and without any doubt, it tasted heaven. We ordered sisig, talaba, pork chop , and bam-i (for longer life) paired with a cold and fresh mango juice and a dessert. I'm telling you, the food here was affordable yet tasty Indeed, it was a Filipino restaurant. I wished to go back here with the whole family. It was a perfect place of tranquility.
This day was just so memorable as my partner brought us to this place. We had a wonderful chat and shared deep conversations while enjoying the beautiful view of the sea.
BASILICA MINORE DEL STO. NIÑO DE CEBU
Following our delightful feast, we embarked on a spiritual journey to Sto. Niño Church, a place of deep significance and cultural richness. The church, known for its historical importance and religious fervor, provided a serene environment for reflection and gratitude. Lighting candles and offering prayers, we felt a sense of peace and connection with something larger than ourselves.
Sto. Niño Church, with its ornate architecture and sacred atmosphere, offered a moment of peace with God. As a Roman Catholic, it is our tradition to light the candles and say our thanksgiving and wishes.
So we went to the "dagkot area" where we lit the candles and offered our prayers. I saw my sister praying sincerely that made me asked God to grant her wishes.
Near this place, I saw a wishing well. I remember when I was a kid, I really love throwing coins and wished that someday, I'd be able to travel and buy things I want. And now here I am, just so happy with my life. I'm not totally saying because of the money I put in the wishing well but because of my deep faith and trust to Almighty God! All of my successes and achievements now we're all worth it. All glory to HIM!
As many people love taking photos with their friends, partners, and families. I also took the opportunity to look around and capture these photos.
Celebrating my sister's birthday at Lantaw Restaurant and visited Sto. Niño Church became a harmonious blend of joy, gratitude, and spirituality. It was a day where we celebrated not just the passing of another year in my sister's life but also the shared moments of love, laughter, and connection among us.
As we left the church, the day embraced us with a sense of fulfillment, knowing that we had celebrated not only with delicious food and scenic views but also with a deeper appreciation for the blessings in our lives. This dual celebration left a remarkable place in our hearts, reminding us that the richness of life lies in the balance of joyous celebrations and moments of spiritual reflection.
