Summer is here and shave ice is PERFECTION to beat this stifling tropical heat.
How to eat shave ice:
1. Ask for extra syrup
2. Stare at the pretty colours, it's like a rainbow in a cup O_O
3. ...Ready.....Eat it!....Nom Nom Nom....
4. Brainfreeze!!!!! @_@
I could eat this stuff all day and not get tired of it ^^
Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't been around your blogs and replying to comments lately. It's just that we had this crazy heavy summer rain with lots of thunder and lightening on Saturday evening. The lightening was really really bad. It caused a power shortage and really messed up my homephone, the router, my cellphone (which I had left to charge), and yes, my tv's busted too. D:
I've just barely survived these past few days without any internet. Make of it whatever you want, but finally getting internet back felt like going back to real civilization.
I have a lot going on for the next couple of weeks, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to post regularly. So I wanted to ask :
Is there anyone who would like to guest blog anytime in the next few weeks? Pretty please??? Anyone???
If yes, you can leave a comment, or you can email me at [manjuxoxo@gmail.com].
I'm going to go play catch-up and reply to those comments now :)

ooohhh...we call them italian ices here in the States! I loooove them...can't wait for summer!
yummy!!!
you make me recall all those childhood days! Mom used to warn me not to eat too much of it... still you know what kids do right? Never miss a chance, enjoy :)
Ahhh I'm so jealous that it's summer there! I had shaved ice back in September at my uni but I had to pay $2.50 for it when I thought it was free and that made me sad.
Sounds crazy about the storm and the lightning, I would be so afraid! Good luck with everything and I would love to a guest blogger - I'm taking a mini-break from my blog right now, too, but I think a guest blog would do me good and I love your blog so much!
Om nom nom nom... :p
You won't believe me... but today itself, I saw the ice vendor & thought that once I get a camera, I should really take a shot of those wonderful colours...
What a coincidence you blogged about it! :D
I hate being cut off -_- Happened to me this summer, 8 days of no internet, felt like ages. Glad that you're back. Sorry, I'm afraid to guest blog here, you have so many followers, they want the real deal: Manju and not Ninju :P
I'm sorry I didn't send you the card yet. I felt bad, but was so busy these days. Will do so next week, I promise. :)
We call it snow cones here! With syrup AND condensed milk! I always buy one when I see them on the streets. If not, then go outside the cemetery and you'll find a guy with his load selling snow cones.
I've heard about the terrible weather in Mauritius. In the Caribbean it's hot throughout the year! And humidity? Ha! My sworn enemy.. :(
Now I want one! Umma ask hubby to get me one.
Enjoy your week-end! :)
That looks really yummy and summery. London is cold, dark and wet right now and I am officially in central heating territory! Wish it was summer here :)
yeah... we have them here too, but I'm always scared that you get sick of eating it... at least, that's what everyone is telling me! We used to make it at home though, loved it!
wish it was summer her too, it's so cold!
loves
It's too pretty, I'd love to look at it too :) And not eat it. I'm excited for you ─ for summer! Weee :D

well its ok if you have summer rain and storms because we can wait for your tv internet and everything else to start.

Snow cones are one of my ultimate favorite things in the summer. Your so lucky you have summer now. I think in my future I'm going to become a summer chaser where I live always where it's summer. hehe. I hope things get a lil less hectic with the weather for ya!
YumYumYum! I love those! and it's seriously hot nowadays right?

It's so cold right now over here, I just can't even imagine eating shaved ice. . . but that DOES look delicious.
Yummy!!!! :) Oh, summer where have you gone?!
I hate you! It's 30 degrees over here and all I could do is staring at your blog and lick my computer screen.
In Singapore we call it Ice Kacang, it's the same thing but with extra jelly, kidney bean and ice cream in it.
I don't mind guest blogging for you, but wait.... what's the condition?
Yum! I love ice kachang! ... i just dont like eating the kachang bit XD

I have never seen that kind of shave ice. It looks so delicious. We have cold winter here in Finland.

Hugs!
I've never seen something so cool! Would be so cool to have around here, with the heat n all.
I love ice shave! One of the biggest things I miss from Hawaii. It's so good with soft serve ice cream in the middle and evaporated milk on top of it!
Oh Manju, don't worry about delayed posts. It's summer there already! Oh yea, you're at the Southern Hemisphere. We have opposite seasons. LOL. I was actually shocked when you suggested shaved ice. I'm already freezing!!!!
Have a nice weekend!
