We arrived in Casablanca in time for lunch at Restaurant Du Port Peche for fresh seafood 
The Parisian house of the pink bow tie is 30 years old this year and, for the occasion, it is offering a 2017 Spring-Summer collection that celebrates its country of birth – France.
Simple, pure and distinct, the collection offers an invitation to discover this beautiful country: from ‘Paris to the beach’; it is aimed at men and women who like to look good at all times, whether in town or at the seaside.
Classic and modern, it will appeal to men and women in all four corners of the world – it is the definition of French Flair: ingenuity, inspiration, know-how and good taste à la Française.
This 2017 Spring-Summer collection offers straightforward simplicity and impeccable cuts; a collection that speaks to the elegant man and woman in traditional terms about the quality of fabrics and attention to detail.
It is this abiding love of detail, one of the label’s core characteristics, along with a blend of audacity and unconventional style in the smallest feature, which has made our brand a leader in the premium quality market for the last 30 years.
Beautiful fabrics, de-structured cuts, the simple lines on jackets, over-jackets, padded waistcoats and shirts over fluid trousers for a relaxed-chic allure.
Linen, nylon and cotton are this season’s favourites, lending modernity to impeccable parkas and waterproofs, with ultra-contemporary, pure lines. Colours are natural; muted tones of beige, brown, grey, khaki and blue.
The collection brings together prestige, charm and creativity, delivering a fluid, pure silhouette; the new definition of male and female elegance according to Eden Park.
Denim becomes a strong theme in town as well as on the beach – creating distinctive style with new shapes and textures. The shirt and jeans classic for town is printed for beach wear.
For the seaside, prints come in a range of floral, jacquard and military themes on all products: shirts, polos, T-shirts, windjammers and trunks.
A range of piqué knit polos has been added to the male wardrobe.
A timeless look, just a little quirky and a very particular attention to detail; the reason for Eden Park’s success as the Parisian rugby-inspired label.
In the Philippines, Eden Park is located at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street Central, Estancia in Capitol Commons, and Kiss and Fly in NAIA Terminal 3. Visitfacebook.com/EdenParkPhilippines and follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.
Nisekrew became Morokrew this year 🙂
Previous entry: Nisekrew Feb 15, 2016
There were some Nisekrew who could not make it to Morocco so we were not complete. I guess it is really hard to always be complete but we will always try 🙂
We arrived in Morocco in 3 different groups
This group came together from Manila 🙂 with an additional member – he is at the back! 🙂 Manny 🙂
Like Nisekrew, I am introducing the characters of the adventure so you know everyone in the group 🙂 Everytime we travel together I learn a little something more about each one and love them even more 😉 It’s not easy to live and breathe each other for 12 days ( haha ) but we managed. And we are looking forward to more adventures together.
Whenever #morokrew Manny @mannydr talks ( beep ) haha!! or sends a whatsapp message it’s always hilarious – straight to the point or sarcastic or just funny! ( He says all three!! haha ) So glad he came along.
He is the brother of Don Durian Raffy 🙂
Anna – the partner of Manny because they were the 2 singles in the group. Our couple clowns in Morokrew 🙂 We love them both! So much fun to be with Anna! We are so blessed to have her in the group! ( Photos from here are from our official photographer Steve Sy )
Raffy and Carmina- Our Daddy and Mommy who are the organizers of the trips. They have to be so patient with all our quirks and take all our questions because we do not read the emails! haha!! These two will never scrimp on food and will always make sure we eat in the best places. Carmina the Crazy Cook is a foodie and has a radar for good food. So we relied on her to choose the restaurants and we just followed 🙂 Be ready to spend when you are her tablemate haha!!!
Jose and Tin – The ever passionate couple that loves planning for their new home, looking for furniture, carpets and accessories from all over the world. Finds from Morocco were carpets and handprinted ceramics 🙂 A very practical couple and also super sweet 🙂 
Raj and Kai – the super sweet couple and the Mommy that FaceTime’s with her kids 5 times a day! 😉 Kai is the person to stick with during a trip because for sure she will always have wifi haha!!! Raj is our DJ providing beautiful music over the long journey to the desert and Kai provided us with junk food yay!! Definitely need to stick to these two 🙂
Steve and Cherina – Steve our official photographer and Cherina our treasurer and assistant to Carmina. Cherina really researches on accommodations so I just trust her and follow what she does. She is the expert on plane seating, hotel accommodations and computing bills! haha!!
I found out this trip that Cherina is a shopper!! I enjoy being with her because I just watch her enjoying her shopping – most of it though are all pasalubongs 🙂 So thoughtful and generous obviously 🙂 
Marco and Jackie – they almost did not join us but we are glad they did because they are the stylists in the group haha!! We would be lost without them for a group photo. They are super stylish themselves, super jet setters and the “ballers” of the group in tandem with Steve and Lindy ( who did not go ) ……..it won’t ever be the same without them! 
And us 🙂
So happy to see my handsome 🙂 cousin, Chris Tantoco @christantoken who lives in Morocco. As soon as he graduated from Boston University, my lolo sent him immediately to head the duty free operations as EVP- GM. He has been there for 6 years already #H2HPeople
There is a coffeeshop named after my Tita Tokie 🙂 It used to be hers but she sold it already. I am so glad the name is still the same 🙂
And so our adventure begins 🙂
People are asking me for tips about Morocco. Tip number 1 and the most important is to get a tour guide. Whether you are 1 or 2 or 15. This is one country where you should not scrimp on hiring a tour guide. Trust me!
You can contact your tour guide in the beginning of the trip so that he can help you plan your trip properly and even make suggestions. As soon as we arrived, we met our tour guide – Youssef
He is so fashionable I took his photo everyday! haha!!! I love him 🙂 He is the tour guide of many VIPs coming to Morocco – so he knows how to handle groups. I highly recommend him. He is married to a Japanese 🙂 
Youssef is also a bodyguard! 🙂 He will take care of disciplining people around you. Because of him I can take photos of almost everything and everywhere we went.
Youssef and the girls 🙂
One of the group members needed crutches – he was able to get crutches for us and we did not need to buy! haha!!
We took Etihad @etihadairways to and from Casablanca. We were able to collect all 6 Luxe bags from the flight – Rome, New York, Bangkok, Abu Dhabi, Melbourne and Sao Paolo ? #Etihad #Luxeguides
Assumption batchmate and fellow Muskeeteer Sandy Piit Velhagen @sandyvel68 and her 2 sisters and Mom put up a resort in Boracay 4 years ago

Repertory Philippines, more popularly known as REP, brings another daring show to celebrate its 50th anniversary and this one is sure to give you, as double entendres go, apleasurable experience.
In The Next Room or The Vibrator Play is exactly about what its name suggests – the vibrator. The provocative and brilliant comedy written by multi-awarded playwright Sarah Ruhl gets you laughing and leaves you moved with genuine emotion, too.
At the dawn of electricity in 1880’s New York, gynecological and hysterical disorder expert Dr. Givings, played by New York-based actor and director, and returning Repper Joshua Spafford, uses the newly invented electronic vibrator to induce orgasms – then called “paroxysms” – and relieve men and women of their so-called hysterical tendencies. All the action happens in his ‘operating theater,’ in other words his home clinic which is right next to their living room.
Giannina Ocampo plays Catherine Givings, the lonely and unhappy wife of the good doctor. Catherine listens curiously to the sounds and cries coming from the patients because she has absolutely no idea what goes on in the next room. She has not experienced the ‘treatment’ herself because of her husband’s refusal, the reason he gives is that she isn’t neurotic like his other patients. Her frustration and sadness is aggravated by the fact that she could not produce enough milk for her newborn baby, and so she and her husband resorted to hiring a wet nurse to help.
Coldly neglected by her husband, Catherine has never experienced his touch in their marital bed. When she sees how the anxious and depressed Sabrina Daldry, played by Caisa Borromeo, looking so calm, happy and relieved after being administered ‘treatment,’ Catherine is forced to take matters into her own hands.
In The Next Room or The Vibrator Play is a Victorian sex comedy that shifts gears, on the one hand showing the medical procedure-only purpose of the vibrator, but then exposes the reality of how women endured physical and emotional neglect in a male-dominated society.
This Tony-nominated production explores the realities of marriage, the nature of intimacy, passion, true love and yes, orgasms.REP’s anticipated production is directed by theater veteran Chris Millado (Vice President and Artistic Director of the Cultural Center of the Philippines). Rounding up the powerhouse cast are Cara Barredo, Hans Eckstein, Jef Flores and Tami Monsod.
Catch REP’s In The Next Room or The Vibrator Play from March 24 to April 23 at the Onstage Theater in Greenbelt 1, Makati City.
