You can't buy happiness, but you can treat yourself in a satisfying dinner at Sambo Kojin and that's kind of a same thing.

Whilst others were busy either hating or loving the fact that H&M finally opens its flagship store here in the PH, We chose to stuff ourselves with divine grilled meat goodness. Celebrating the delectable delight of Japanese and Korean cuisines with good company.

I should be honest, I only ate a slice of chocolate cake to prepare for this night(so unhealthy, I know). I seldom go to buffets, so this a pretty huge deal. You can lecture me all you want, but I've never tried eating at Sambo Kojin before(so please, let me be.). 

I won't lie, we went off with a quiet start. We were all hungry as hell. And I must say, that morning fasting was so worth it. It went down to either I'm just REALLY THAT HUNGRY, or that grilled pork and meat I ate was just flabbergast-ingly satisfying.

Now that I got that off my chest... plus multiple craving frustration moments later, let me now get to my point for this post. 

I can't help but smile recalling that Friday night. We were all together again, I never thought it was possible in the soonest possible time. But it happened.

Charlie Brown once said, "Friendship picks you up, when the world let's you down." Life had been somehow difficult for most of us. Some had it tougher than the others. We all had our own battles, and they all matter. It warms my heart to be surrounded with brave, and gorgeous people like you girls. 

The smiles on our faces doesn't mean our lives are perfect. It means that we appreciate what we have and what we have been blessed with. Despite everything... we stood up, and WE CHOSE TO BE HAPPY. (Yeahp, I definitely am channeling the good ol' Charlie Brown.) 

To our dearest awesome person who made this all possible... NIU just opened. *wink wink*
