March Madness: Surprises, Life, and Travels
Hmm this month was off to an amazing start. When we were just conceptualizing Guactruck, we had a list of websites we wanted to be featured in. We didn't think it would happen but three of those on our list just did this month. On top of that, the response of people on tumblr was just a pleasant surprise. We actually had no idea that Guactruck was getting some attention on tumblr until we opened our emails and saw lots of messages in our inbox. Running a mobile eatery, especially in Manila where people are not used to the concept, is not as easy as it looks. So we're really excited that people think our whole concept is clever and that you guys appreciate our work. Life really is funny. One day, we're serving food inside the truck not sure if what we're doing is right and the next, we're getting featured on design websites we admire.
We've actually been operating for nearly three months this year (53 days to be exact, and 94 days in total since we started), which is roughly one quarter. And we think it's time for a break (again) so we're going on vacation. Meanwhile, Mr. Guactruck will be getting his much needed rest especially since the weather has been harsh on him. Watch out for a new look for Mr Guactruck. And we may post some pictures of our travels. Lastly, we'd like to leave you with this quote:
“Do yourself a favor. Before it’s too late, without thinking too much about it first, pack a pillow and a blanket and see as much of the world as you can. You will not regret it. One day it will be too late.” — Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake
