Okada Manila's Luxurious Bathing Experience with Grohe and Inax

My wife and I were excited after receiving an invite to cover Okada Manila's Luxurious Bathing Experience with Grohe and Inax foe two reasons. First, Okada Manila is definitely one of  the fast- rising icon of luxury in Asia with its  elegant rooms and suites, with the best of dining, retail, gaming, hospitality and leisure in one exciting multidimensional property.  Secondly, we are planning to build our second home in Antipolo so it was very timely to learn about Grohe and Inax products.

 

Okada Manila's 993 rooms and suites are all equipped with sophisticated comforts offered by  Inax and Grohe.

Inax Santis is replete with techy creature comforts.   It is the world’s most compact, fully-automated tank- less toilet system, manufactured by LIXIL, the Japanese global leader  in shower seat technology. True to its tradition of utilizing only first rate technology and materials,  Lixil on its milestone 50th year continues to spearhead  innovation, inventing and reinventing smart toilet systems, producing world-first technologies, and  developing  the most  advanced sanitary ware products    that   shape the market  and enhance  living spaces. Inax Satis impresses with its Plasmacluster Technology  that cleans even the air after every use;  its  hands-free convenience with its fully automated system delights,  and its   automatic seat and cover with a built-in sensor to open and close its lid whenever it detects the presence of a user simply amazes the indulged guest.  Inax Satis’ deodorizer kicks into action instantly. Another hands-free feature is competently demonstrated in its fully automatic flushing action where flushing will occur as soon as the user steps away from the toilet.

The introduction of SATIS to the world in 2001 conferred the smart toilet with a Good Design Gold Award and the recognition as "The World's Most Compact Shower Toilet that offers Maximum Satisfaction". The name SATIS was coined from the word 'satisfaction' - fully delivering its promise to offer maximum satisfaction, despite its petite size.  At only 650mm from front to back, the tankless SATIS. Inax Satis  —a showcase indeed of world class Japanese technology. A fitting complement to Okada Manila’s special brand of hospitality that wraps every guest in a cocoon of  Omotenashi and Magokoro-- the heart of Japanese hospitality-- combined with Filipino warmth and hospitality that gives birth to an extraordinary level of service.

SMYTH - SM Youth

SMYTH is a shirt term for SM Youth.  It is the most-anticipated new brand that officially launched today at The Mega Fashion Hall.

The past years have taken place since the launch of the SM Youth brand, and the label has emerged with viral ambassadors, covetable merchandise, and now SMYTH, a sub-line that merges SM Youth's trendy aesthetic with the comfort and affordability of pieces made especially for the fashionable youth.

 

SMYTH drops exclusively at all SM Youth sections with a face familiar to the Internet-obsessed, YouTube-subscribed millennial demographic: Troye Sivan, a singer, actor and internet sensation who captured his Filipino fanbase with his single (aptly named) Youth, a rhythmic anthem that muses on the desire to be young, wild and free. A few weeks earlier, Troye silently visited the Philippines to shoot the SMYTH campaign, where he wears pieces that carry the brand's distinct, of-the-moment, young and easy aesthetic. 

For its first drop, SMYTH lives out palm dreams and Los Angeles hipster sensibilities in a tropical print shirts and variously-colored denim jeans. A display of the brand’s ability to touch into the style psyches of the young, stylish set, this release comes highly anticipated as juvenile fashion lovers yearn to cop the wardrobes of their favorite artists, bloggers and social media influencers.

Starting July 24, the SM Youth section at The SM Store, along with its established product lines and labels, will house SMYTH—which bears a complete selection of tops, shirts and bottoms for the young set.
