Two weeks ago, we, the partner bloggers, were supposed to have a gathering with Sample Room, but then Typhoon Gorio has rained on our parade. A few were stuck in traffic, the others were hopelessly waiting for a cab, and the rest have turned back because the streets were buried in knee- deep water. The wind was pretty scary and my mom was pleading me to go home, but I still went anyway (good thing I'm already in the area!) for the sake of friendship: I don't get to see the SR peeps often and it was my dear Sophie's birthday!

I just want to share what we've discussed in the pseudo- event. (Because it ended up as a sit- down dinner with friends as only four Sample Room Partner Bloggers made it to the place)

Sample Room has just turned one, and it's pretty amazing how much it has achieved in just a short span of time. I recall, I was just talking about it with Sophie over Facebook around this time last year and now, it's already big and continually soaring to new heights! What's more amazing is, the ladies of Team Sample Room don't look too stressed at all despite the fact that the first year in any business is always the hardest-in fact, they all looked blooming! Is success the new makeup? I guess! :D

So what's new with Sample Room?

A LOT. More brands have just signed up, and I even heard that aside from sampling, there'll be shopping too soon! The roster of Sample Room Bloggers was finalized already so congratulations to those who made it! I won't say who they are-I'll just let Sample Room announce it to you! :)

To all the grabbers, ninjas, and those who are patiently waiting for the next batch of samples, on behalf of Sample Room, we'd like to thank you for your endless support-we're more than happy updating and restocking samples for all of you. And we'd gladly do it over and over again! A better Sample Room will unveil soon for your pleasure and enjoyment. Just wait-it's all worth it! :)
