Wow first of all I am so sorry I have not updated. I have been updating my tumblr daily because I wanted to keep a 'picture based diary' of my year and tumblr's format is much more conducive to this. If you want to be bombarded with daily pictures of the random (mis)adventures I get up to on a (nearly) day to day basis then you can follow me <a href="http://captainnaru.tumblr.com/">here</a>. I shall try to update this blog once a week too though, the posts will probably be more text based.<br />
<br />
So heres a whirlwind random selection of pics of the past few weeks and I aim to keep you guys more frequently updated on here some time next week!!<br />

It was so much fun! I met so many wonderful lolitas from the UK, Europe and even further! It was also a great honour to meet Hitomi-san. I'm really happy everyone liked my outfit, it was all handmade so I was a bit nervous that it would just fall apart when I wore it XD</div>

I will be keeping posts here about life in Japan and a daily photo tumblr <a href="http://captainnaru.tumblr.com/">here</a>.

As part of my Japanese revision motivation recently I've been finding my favourite book quotes and stuff in Japanese. You can do this in a variety of ways including the internet or if you can just get your hands on the translated book then do that! I have a small collection of Japanese books including Alice in Wonderland/Alice Through the Looking Glass, Harry Potter and some Beatrix Potter too.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking at Japanese wiki pages can also be insightful into how your favourite literature is translated. For example I hadn't realised till recently that the way movie titles and book titles are translated are very different. e.g. The Lord of the Rings books are known as 指輪物語(ゆびわものがたり)whereas the movie titles are ロード・オブ・ザ・リング. Literally 'Lord of the Rings' in katakana. This is part of the reason why I find culture and linguistics so interesting. Why do they differentiate in its use like this? I can understand the logic behind both because one is a translation for literature and the other a translation for a movie franchise, but I still don't get 100% why they can't use the book title for the movie too. Its definitely something for me to investigate further.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I highly recommend getting copies of your favourite books translated even if you don't think you'll be able to read them yet. It gives you something to compare and you can try to glean information and grammar out and try to push yourself further with your reading. I also find it interesting to try and glean what I feel has been lost in translation, but also that because the languages express things in different ways it gives you a new perspective on something that you maybe already familiar with.</div>

Now I have exams for the next month or so and providing I pass everything I shall be off to Japan in September. And that is sort of terrifying. If you have exams too, good luck!</div>

I have just finished watching episode one of Kamo, and I like it thus far but I think it'll start picking up speed in the next few episodes. I love traditional Japanese culture so this will be fascinating for me. Its about a woman who works for the Japanese Government in finance. Her mother living in Kyoto passes away leaving her daughter with the family inn, and 300million yen's worth of debt. In the first episode we see how Kamo hates Kyoto culture and tries to change the inn and cut costs. I shall see how I feel about this after a few episodes though ;)<br />
<br />
I have seen two episodes of Last Cinderella and I love it. Its funny, has a great plot and a great cast. The story is about a woman who is a beautician but cares nothing for her own appearance. Theres two love interests (although atm only one has come forth). Theres also side stories about the lead character's two female friends. What I found interesting about this drama is its attitude towards sex. It frequently crops up, but not in the same way it normally does in drama where its either over glamourised in hotel suites or mentioned in ushered giggled tones using every other word but 'sex'. In this drama they're pretty open about it and I find that quite refreshing. It gives the drama a much more grown up feel. Also Haruma Miura plays one of the love interests and he is a particular favourite actor of mine. He was also in Bloody Monday and if you haven't seen that yet, you should.<br />
<br />
Also I'm trying to catch up on last season's Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm about half way through and I love it. Its combines two things I love: clever detective work and old books. Definitely worth a watch.</div>
<br />
<br />
I'm still trying to find the time to watch the others, but when I do I expect I shall try to write something up about them. At the moment I'm going through a number of university assessments before exams so I want to do well!<br />

<br />
This is an apology more than everything; I'm really sorry I've barely updated at all this year D':<br />Things at university have been hectic and I've been having to do all my application stuff for next year and loads of cw etc. Next I have exams! As a result of this I shall predict that I probably won't be updating much/at all until the summer when I have free time to do projects and stuffs that I can actually write something interesting about! I just had my birthday so I got sent a lolita sewing book from Japan called 乙女のソーイングBOOK (Otome's sewing book). Amazon page <a href="http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E4%B9%99%E5%A5%B3%E3%81%AE%E3%82%BD%E3%83%BC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0BOOK-%E3%83%AC%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%83%96%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B7%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA-no-3376/dp/4834733769/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y">here</a>. When I get round to using it I shall be writing how to use guides and translations of stuff.<br />I also bought my ticket for this year's Tea Party Club extravaganza: Frock On! I shall hopefully be making my own outfit for that; but we shall have to see how that goes :P<br />
If anything interesting actually happens I shall post, but until then I do have a pinterest account which I use relatively frequently, feel free to follow me! <a href="http://pinterest.com/naruhime/">http://pinterest.com/naruhime/</a><br />

Part 2!!Hey all!<br />
I found out last week where I am going for my year abroad next year...I am going to Yokohama National University yayyy!! Its my first choice so I am very pleased. Also I am hoping to save loads more money this year so I can buy lots and lots of lolita clothing on the cheap next year. I shall have a Japanese bank account (hopefully) and will therefore be able to take advantage of auction sites.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Now the way I have been living this year is slightly different from last year so I thought I'd do more money saving tips I've discovered, including a bigger budget breakdown.<br />
<br />
1. One that didn't quite manage... <span style="color: red;">Go for a cheaper house if you can and be careful of who you choose to live with. </span>In first year you will more than likely be in university accommodation of which there will be a variety of prices but 9/10 is very affordable. I ended up in private halls which are not so affordable because of clearing. Either way, the good thing about halls is that bills are inclusive so you need not worry about that. However this year I decided to go for nicer house bills not inclusive. It is STILL cheaper than last years halls but I could have still saved more money. Also my house mates are not very economical so the bills are not as cheap as they could be. <span style="color: red;">Don't get a house with a tumble dryer and if you can try to find a house which is bills inclusive.</span> A. Tumble dryers are bloody expensive and B. If you know how much your bills are going to be its easier to budget and you can relax a little about your house mates constantly wasting energy. All else fails, try to find more like minded people to live with.<br />
<br />
2. <span style="color: red;">January sales clothes shopping to revive that tired wardrobe. </span>The sales this year were particularly good. I managed to get a whole outfit inc shoes, dress and a belt for £11. Also if you happen to be in America on Boxing day go nuts on those sales too, exchange rate makes it so good. Along with $10 t-shirts in Hot Topic. Remember to set yourself a budget! Which leads onto...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlTM3QMtNz40Jqem2xpaPC5F9TEpZvBPuKmv8kgA0fNgQ0TxGqRlnzFEJilxWyTcYKOhOW3jZanhxmGrlvwV4mWKVfqD5whJvPru9cOaPUpOLwHgB-_Fi8LjRtKjwDyZLnoyIjgGdBP4A/s1600/84775897461338902051.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlTM3QMtNz40Jqem2xpaPC5F9TEpZvBPuKmv8kgA0fNgQ0TxGqRlnzFEJilxWyTcYKOhOW3jZanhxmGrlvwV4mWKVfqD5whJvPru9cOaPUpOLwHgB-_Fi8LjRtKjwDyZLnoyIjgGdBP4A/s400/84775897461338902051.jpeg" width="270" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
3. <span style="color: red;">Budgeting 101.</span> Right, heres what I do and it works very well. The key is to over budget for everything and then you have a nice bit to save at the end (hopefully). If not then you aren't in financial trouble. I do it term by term when student loan comes in.<br />
<span style="color: red;">Rule 1. When student loan comes in, don't go cray cray and spend it all just because you suddenly have £2000 in your account. </span>I know so many people that do this and at the end of the term are well into their overdraft. I have never been in my overdraft in my whole life! As mentioned before, if you do want to take advantage of xmas sales set yourself a limited budget.<br />
<span style="color: red;">Rule 2. Count how many weeks and months it will be until you next get your loan. </span>What I then do is go and pay those x months rent in advance. I don't have a high interest account so its not worth keeping in there and then I know exactly where I stand with my bank balance.<br />
<span style="color: red;">Rule 3. Then way over budget for bills. Like £75 - £100 a month if you can.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
Right, heres an example of how I would budget for 3 months (with example numbers)<br />
1.Start with how much you have. In this example I shall use £2500.<br />
2. Take away your cash floater (mentioned in Part 1). Increase it if possible. In this example I shall have £500 cash floater. This is money you shall not touch unless its a necessary emergency!<br />
3. Now on £2000. Your rent is £260pcm and its 3 months until your next loan. That £780. Take that away and go pay it asap!!<br />
4. Now on £1220. 3 Months bills over estimated at £100 each = £300. Take that away.<br />
5. £920 left to spend. Divide that by how many weeks there are left till next loan. e.g. 12 weeks. Thats £76.67 you <i>can</i> spend per week. Now I personally budget myself £40 per week and find thats plenty. so I would then maybe work out how much more I could potentially save by the end of the term. I would not recommend spending all that £70 every week. e.g. you may have a comic con or something else big that you may want to do. Under spending will mean you will have the money to do the stuff you want to.<br />
<br />
Hope this was helpful. <a href="http://japanesemusings.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/the-balance-of-what-we-want-and.html">Here</a> is part 1 that I wrote in 1st year!<br />

<br />
Sorry its been such a long time since I last posted! I haven't had anything to post about really :/<br />
<br />
Weekend just gone was the London MCM Expo. I go to at least one every year in cosplay, but this year was the first time I'd actually made my own cosplay so it was a slightly different experience.It was a lot more satisfying and I had a tonne of photos taken and made children smile. Job well done I think! However coming back to reality was horrible, I had such a convention hangover on Monday morning. Luckily for me theres a Comic Con this coming weekend in the city where I live, so I'll just bring myself down gently on that. The only thing that went wrong was that part of my costume broke on Saturday morning, so I had to black gaffer tape it the whole weekend -_-' I will repair that later today in readiness for Sunday. Photo time!<br />

Like everyone on my course seems to have cried about something in the past two days XD It could be because we are mourning absent friends. Although, some aren't 100% absent, just had to retake year one so we still see them! But it is sad we won't be able to go to Japan together. Only about half of year one made it to year two, which is a really sobering thought.<br /><br />The way we are learning Japanese this year is completely different as well. We start off with listening and speaking exercises, translations etc THEN read the grammar notes. I kind of see why its being done like this, grammar notes are dull as hell and this way we are using language more, trying to recognise grammar we don't understand which will serve us better in Japan when we come to immersion. All Kanji is self study this year too, but even last year it basically was. But altogether I'd say theres about twice the self study, things are going to get really intense! We have loads more reading/translation classes though, which I love ^.^<br />
<br />
I am also looking to Modern Japanese Society this year. Its essentially a continually assessed module (yay no exam) on various aspects of...well modern Japanese society. However the reading list is literally about 9 pages long and I wanted to cry D': but luckily we are supposed to work in groups and scan read things then pass on the info to others!! Useful. As for Business, just looks like a lot of coursework and very few exams in January which I hope will be a nice change. Last year was all exams and no coursework!<br /><br />Even though I only need 40% to pass this year and go to Japan, it does count towards my final grade. This year I'm going to aim for a first!!<br /><br />
頑張るよ!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
To start off with the synopsis: <span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 22px;">The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “Judges” who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge – a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of “Slo-Mo” experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 22px;">
During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture – a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute-turned-drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan’s inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound’s control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 22px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Ok. This synopsis about the whole having to fight up a tower block against a gang really sounded very similar to the 2011 film The Raid: Redemption, and if you haven't yet seen The Raid I highly </span><span style="font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.981481552124023px;">recommend</span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> you do so this second because its amazing. On that note, I was a little </span><span style="font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.981481552124023px;">sceptical</span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> in going to see Dredd because it sounded so similar to The Raid and because I didn't think it would be nearly as good in comparison. I would say for the most part they do have a similar flavour in the sense that theres lots of guns, raw violence and the directors didn't skimp on the blood and graphics when people get shot in the face. However I do feel </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">the </span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.981481552124023px;">villains and</span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> lead characters, although both essentially similar in both films, have a very different feel from each other. This in turn, for me anyway, made the two films feel very different. </span><br />

I personally haven't read much Judge Dredd but I am familiar with the 2000AD characters and their concepts. Here comes one little meh: as far as I am aware Judge Dredd (in the comics) is portrayed and the quintessential badass (which this film </span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.962963104248047px; text-align: start;">definitely</span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.981481552124023px; text-align: start;"> delivered) and a hard hearted personification of </span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.962963104248047px; text-align: start;">totalitarian</span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.981481552124023px; text-align: start;"> law. He IS the law! He is supposed to be a bit of an anti-hero because he is so harsh, however I'd say this is true for only about 80% of the film. We see him soften a bit, especially towards his trainee Anderson.<br /><br /> However this for me is only a little meh because films and comics are two very different disciplines I do feel that if Dredd had been his actual harsh, dickish self throughout the whole film it probably wouldn't have been as enjoyable; the ending would have been different from what it was in the film. If he had done a 'Comic Dredd' ending you would have gone out of the cinema hating the 'hero' which is just not the way cinema works. You want the end of films to feel concluded and wholesome because films (unless in a </span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.962963104248047px; text-align: start;">definite</span><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.981481552124023px; text-align: start;"> series of films) should give the viewer a nice compact story and it should feel resolved at the end, which this did. </span></div>

I found this bit of cinematography really interesting. Here is a clip of one such scene: WARNING! If you don't like blood or pieces of face flying at you in slow moition, don't press play :/ </span></span><br />

The director decided to play with this idea in the </span><span style="font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.962963104248047px;">cinematography</span><span style="font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.981481552124023px;"> and I'm not 100% sure on whether it actually adds anything or not. Part of me feels that this effect was put in simply because it looks pretty in 3D and also because really fast paced action sequences aren't very watchable in 3D. So the slow motion solves the latter </span><span style="font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.962963104248047px;">dilemma</span><span style="font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 21.981481552124023px;">. This leads me to ask: did this film REALLY have to be released ONLY in 3D. Either way the slow motion does look quite cool but I'm not sure it was necessary, so I'm going to remain neutral on this point.</span></span><br />

In the mean time I'm going to invest in the Judge Dredd comic omnibuses. I am rather taken with the concepts for the Dredd Universe and think it'll be a comic series I will rather enjoy :)<br />

My. God. Today was just so very very epic. I am so proud of how far the British Lolita community has come. I was also amazed at how many international lolitas attended! I think there were lolitas here today from every corner of the globe!<br />

Here are some of the pics I got from the event plus pics of the goodies I got 8D

What really surprised me about the above co-ord was the crown head dress. I personally really love them. However like all fashions, looks go in cycles and I think these went 'out of fashion' a few years ago. However I noticed in GLB earlier that Angelic Pretty is producing a crown head dress to go with Cinema Doll. Maybe they're making a come back? I do hope so because I want one!</div>

I also won a wig in the raffle from Lockshop whos store can be found <a href="http://lockshopwigs.com/">here</a>. I did take it out quickly to take a look and its wonderful quality and I'm looking forward to wearing it! I didn't want to disturb it again and take it out because I'm terrible at tangling wigs!<br />

Finally here is a group shot of everybody! Thanks very much to Anarchy Photography for letting me use this!<br />
<br />
Today was just so very spectacular and great fun! I also got to try on a bonnet for the first time and found that they actually quite suit me to my delight! So next time I'm buying a piece I'm definitely going to have bonnets as an accessory on the brain! What was especially nice about the event was that in addition to the goods that JetJ and GLB bought for us to buy, there were also independent UK stores that were able to showcase their wares and for people to see in person and buy.<br />
<br />
At the end the main event organiser, Kyra, got proposed to by her partner. It was so beautiful and I cried, as did everyone else! I wish them all the best for their future!
<br />
<br />
Thank you everyone who organised and attended for making this so special! Britain definitely did the International Lolita Community proud!<br />

I know its been a long time since I've written a review, and I know the Brave isn't Japanese related in any way, but I felt the need to write a review for this film after seeing it last night. I'm sorry this will probably be long and ranty -_-'<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'll start off on a Japanese note anyways. The Japanese title is <span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 0.9166em; letter-spacing: -0.5px; line-height: 1.1363em;">『メリダとおそろしの森』Which I think roughly translates as Merida and the Amazing Forest. And heres the trailer with some Japanese footage on it. I did find it slightly amusing that the Dad still has a slight </span><span style="font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 16.648149490356445px;">Scottish accent even in </span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; line-height: 16.648149490356445px;">Japanese XD</span><br />

Right, now on with the main review. To start off with I would just like to say that I am a massive Pixar fan and have been anticipating this film for a long time. Also, I love analysing their films because the symbolism and moral message of their films are always really well woven in. That may contribute to part of the reason why I'm so disappointed.<br />
<br />
My main qualm about this film is that it really, REALLY didn't feel like a Pixar film. It felt like a typical Disney or Dreamworks film. The main defining quality of a Pixar film and why as a studio they are so successful, is because they are able to communicate to all age groups through their beautiful story telling. Also, they normally do this story telling in the context of some bat-shit crazy unique environment. They can take a really unique far out concept, yet at the end of the film everyone feels like they can relate to what just happened. Theres always strong symbolism and the storytelling is subtle. Brave, I felt, did not have any of this. It was just a bland kids movie. Granted it was very beautifully animated, but Pixar can no longer rely on its pioneering animation to wow its audiences because now lots of other movie studios are using similar techniques. Computer animation for children's films is now the norm. Visually there is nothing wrong with Brave, but it was missing its storytelling magic that Pixar is so good at. Its also good at making epic adventure films, which Brave wasn't either.<br />
<br />
Why didn't it sweep me away on a wonderful adventure? Well, I think it'd be hard to convey any sense of the word 'adventure' in what is essentially a day and a half. Thats how long Merida and her Mum have to transform her back. Two sunrises and she was transformed during the evening so... either way its not a very long period of time. Furthermore, they only ever go between the castle, the witches house, the stone circle, the ruined castle and the forest all of which seem to be within easy riding distance of the castle. They never go anywhere remotely far! Why? Because they only have a day! D8< This backwards and forwarding between locations overall made the film feel quite choppy and the story just didn't flow very well because of it.<br />
<br />
Also, this film to me rang of Disney's 'Brother Bear'. The whole learning to accept another being/person by being transformed into a bear concept has already been done, and it was done better the first time round because the bear went on an epic adventure and actually did learn something by being a bear. In this film the fact that the Mother was transformed into a bear seems irrelevant to me apart from the fact that the witches spell said to 'change' her and that it meant the Dad would try to kill her at some point...come to think of it he never apologised for trying to kill her either. But the witches spell could have been a better plot device if the spell had transformed her into something that would have actually helped her relate to her daughter. All it did was make them work together to try and transform her back and not really to address the issue which was the disagreement over the marriage.<br />
<br />
The characters... I actually really liked the Dad. He was an awesome character. The naughty triplets were fun too. But Merida wasn't the blaze of feminism that Pixar promised her to be. The mother was also a really bland, generic well, mother character. They were so bland and 2D I couldn't relate to either of them and get the point of the film which is ridiculous because all (teen) girls know what its like to disagree with their mothers about something.<br />
<br />
Now a nit picky thing. Just because. Will o the wisps in any myth or legend have not been associated with leading people to their fates. Well, thats a lie actually. They lead you to your fate if your fate is death or danger because they stray travellers off safe paths. In an ironic way I suppose this film does reflect that, witches hut and an abandoned castle where a huge bear slaughtered everyone. So, if any of you ever see a will o the wisp, for the love of all that is holy, do not follow it. -_-' Just some mythology thing which was irritating me. But I do feel they could of played up the Celtic theme a bit more with genuine mythos and a bit more culture seeped in. The clans constantly trying to beat each other up seemed legit though.<br />
<br />
In short, this is why I didn't like this film. Pixar needs to stick to what they do best and need to do it the way they've always done it i.e. the creative always coming exclusively from within Pixar and *cough* not getting directors from outside Pixar. Its a good children's film, but for me it just isn't Pixar.<br />
<br />
On a high note, I really did like the short animation, La Luna, at the beginning of the film. It still had the subtle imagery in there that I so love >.< Plus it was really cute and visually enjoyable to look at. It really did still have the Pixar heart in it, so that was really lovely to see. The concept was just really beautiful and elegantly simple. My previous point still stands, its a really unique idea but you still understand the point and the message. Heres the first part of an interview with the director for that:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've always found how Pixar works as a whole really fascinating and they do talk a bit in this interview about the role that their short films have to play within the studio.<br />
<br />
Sorry Pixar! I still love all your other movies, just not Brave! (or Cars 2)<br />

<br />
I have just finished my gift for Nakamura Maki, the head designer of the lolita brand Juliette et Justine. I will be attending the party in London in a couple of weeks. I just thought I'd share it with you guys!<br />
<br />
Please ignore the blatantly stuck on writing -_-' I did originally write straight onto the picture, then saw how atrocious my handwriting looked and couldn't bear the thought of Nakamura sama thinking I had terrible handwriting T.T<br />

Its of the story 'Star Money' which JetJ recently did a print around, so I wanted to show Nakamura sama my interpretation. Now I just have to work on the Gothic and Lolita Bible illustration competition and the dress design competition! T.T<br />

<div>
I thought I'd sort of do a continuation on my previous post and give ideas so to how to make petty cash. As I said before, it all adds up, every penny. You maybe surprised.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. To reiterate from before, hoard coins. Pick up coins off the street, save your change. This is a really simple thing you can do and when you come to cash in you can end up with a fair bit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Doesn't necessarily make money, but I do have a Terramundi money pot which I put a bit of gold and silver in every week. The beauty of these pots is that you have to literally smash them to get the money out. So if your in a tight squeeze or you want to purchase something big this is a nice little cash pot to extract money from.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Right before going to university have a very THOROUGH clear out of your possessions. Be this books, clothes or DVDs etc. For clothes and books try to get rid of them on ebay, and any DVDs if you think its worth the hassle. If you put an auction up at 99p the listing is free, but if you want to put more than that up then I suggest you wait for one of their free listing weekends. This saves pennies yes, but if your putting a lot of stuff up it does add up. Furthermore, why would you want to give ebay any more of your money? They take a percentage of your final sales anyways!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Any games, CDs and DVDs that you can't sell on ebay try and get rid of through sites like musicmagpie. A lot of of things you'll only get like 30p for but if your just going to throw it out anyways then you may as well make some pennies off of it! Anything leftover, take to the charity shop ;)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Advantage cards. When you do shop in places like Superdrug, Boots and Tescos use your advtantage/club cards. Its essentially giving you pennies back on your purchases and you may as well collect them. At some point you maybe able to spend them!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6. Get petty part time work in the summer or during term (if you can't find an actual job). Obviously getting a full time job for the summer allows you to stock pile money for the rest of the year, but if not you maybe able to find odd days of jobs in places like football stadiums etc This summer I worked in catering at a racecourse, which was only odd days because thats all they could offer.<br />
<br />
7. Enter freebies and giveaway comps. Some even offer cash! I know it can be annoying but, enter as many as you can bear! I know you probably think its pointless and you wont win but theres still a chance! Why pass up on the possibility of free stuff!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Remember with money, even a penny is better than nothing!</div>
<div>
I also found that student beans set up a new website so all their offers are in one place! <a href="http://www.freshersfields.com/">http://www.freshersfields.com/</a> using offers and coupons is still saving pennies!<br />

(Part 1)Hey guys<br />
<br />
Today I am going to be writing on a general student topic: Money.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKCjXUYochKmkRMXD9Tbru3_bX1H_HUgFfbqCQFG2PbFkA3DZ2UXrPBqj3wpiqy0fN0IfXdcBx-7KP6YF5pisPwY51vtwC4X5CEjFsWtX4Db5w3dHKAVWdevbW7AcVp-tEajNMCC0uHCQ/s1600/internet-memes-not-sure-if-im-getting-an-education-or-getting-ripped-off.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKCjXUYochKmkRMXD9Tbru3_bX1H_HUgFfbqCQFG2PbFkA3DZ2UXrPBqj3wpiqy0fN0IfXdcBx-7KP6YF5pisPwY51vtwC4X5CEjFsWtX4Db5w3dHKAVWdevbW7AcVp-tEajNMCC0uHCQ/s400/internet-memes-not-sure-if-im-getting-an-education-or-getting-ripped-off.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I have very expensive hobbies, both cosplay and lolita amongst other things. In lolita especially you get a lot of spectators complaining they can't do it because of the money. I do it and I buy brand. I'm a student on loan with only odds of jobs during the summer, albeit its only barely doing it, but I still manage both hobbies. I was unable to get a job whilst at uni last year so I don't have any regular income to speak of. So, how is it possible to live essentially on just student loan and maintain these expensive pastimes on the side? Well here is my tips!<br />
<br />
1. <span style="color: red;">Have a weekly budget and stick to it.</span> Including all your misc purchases that aren't relevant to essential living!! Even when I'm buying say a lolita brand item I will budget it into several weeks worth, say £10 a week off what I'd normally allow myself. This seriously stops me from overspending. I think the only exception I make to this rule is one off things like train tickets and one off events e.g. lolita meet ups and cons. Its through severe day to day budgeting that I have plentiful stocks of cash to do these things.<br />
<br />
Normally I allow myself £40 a week (not including bills and rent) and that is plentiful! I worked out that figure by dividing the money I knew I'd have left over after housing and bills by the number of weeks until my next loan instalment to give how much I COULD spend per week, then halved that. I think initially I started off with £80, then I kept whittling it down as I cut out unnecessary spending. <span style="color: red;">Keep a note book so you can track your expenses and see exactly where your money is going.</span> You may find you can save somewhere.<br />
<br />
2. Try to keep your food bills as low as possible. This actually isn't that hard. My top tip would be <span style="color: red;">NEVER EAT INSTANT FOODS.</span> I hardly ever eat anything instant, including things like sauces. (Exception being pesto and pizzas :P) My next tip would be to make local markets, Aldi, Lidl and Iceland your best friends. If university taught me anything, its that Tescos is really expensive when it comes for fresh fruit, veg and tins.<br />
<br />
I remember once my Aunt saying that you can't live off Lidl. Total lie. I cook everything from scratch (because I enjoy it), so I only ever really buy tins of things and fresh veg and meat if its on offer. Lidl is a godsend for basics like this, I think if I'm being decadent with my food shopping I spend around £15 a week, if I'm watching my spending then I can easily do £10. Lidl does boxes of 3 pizzas for £3 and they are so goooooood!! This helps combat post night out hungers where you'd normally want a takeaway XD <span style="color: red;">Avoid takeaway where you can</span>, but it will be near impossible during exam period. Just because :/<br />
<br />
3.<span style="color: red;"> Look at how much food costs per gram, not how much the packet costs as a whole. </span>If you do this you will get the cheapest deals in general!! Tesco does 3kg bags of pasta for £3 which is amazing value and is good for making lunches to take in! <span style="color: red;">(Don't buy uni canteen food, seriously overpriced!) </span>They also do a 1kg bag of frozen chicken for around £5 too which is good. For meat, stalking the reduced section is really good in Tesco Express right before closing. Once I got packets for 41p each, still don't know how. <span style="color: red;">Stock up on cheap things and freeze!!</span><br />
<br />
4. <span style="color: red;">Keep a base amount of money in the bank and NEVER let yourself fall below it. </span>This acts as a really good overdraft deterrent and you then have a cash safety net should you need it.<br />
<br />
5. Always ask yourself <span style="color: red;">'do I really need this?'</span> 9/10 this will help stem spending!<br />
<br />
6.<span style="color: red;"> Never take your card out with you on a night out.</span> Take enough cash for club entry, a few drinks and a cab home. £10-£15 is normally enough for me, especially if your sharing cabs. However some cities may be more expensive or cheaper in terms of night life. e.g. places like London and Canterbury are expensive and places up north, especially Hull, are really cheap. (Also take advantage of pre drinks and lethal smelling value vodka and mixers! Students always pre drink for a reason!) This also means theres no chance of you loosing your card on a night out. I know people who have spent like £150 on a night out because they were merry and kept buying everyone rounds of drinks. Yhea.<br />
Also know the clubs in your city and which ones have student nights and when!<br />
<br />
7. Don't spend more than £10 on an item of clothing if you can help it. And again, budget into your weekly allowance. I know this sounds depressing but its not actually that bad, especially in sale season, just stock up your wardrobe! Punkyfish recently had a sale where everything in it was £5, I stocked up! Ebay charity shops, Primark, H&M!<br />
<br />
8. <span style="color: red;">Flash that student card where ever you can for student discount.</span> Also get a<span style="color: red;"> rail card</span> if your going to be getting trains too and from home, or just generally travelling about, it saves you tonnes of money. Also I found out that at Cineworld you can combine Orange Wednesdays and student discount. Mmmmm, super cheap cinema tickets :3<br />
<br />
9. <span style="color: red;">Keep change and collect it.</span> Keep a pot or a bag or something where you put all your loose change. I recently changed a pencil case full of coppers and got £15 out of it!<br />
<br />
10. For toiletries, stock up on basics like razors, shampoo, wax strips etc in places like Poundland and Savers. For things you'll probably want to spend a little more money on like moisturiser and face scrubs, stock up when drug stores have offers like 3 for 2!<br />
<br />
11.<span style="color: red;"> Buy university text books second hand, and sell them on the next year!</span> Also try and get your parents to buy text books for things like birthday and xmas. If you sell them on then your still going to gain money from them! Also avoid buying text books where you can and get them from the university library instead. They should have plentiful stocks for your core reading list. They may also have electronic copies available online.<br />
<br />
Well, I think thats about all the really valuable advice I can give. Looking up it may seem really depressing but so long as you enforce some rules on yourself for a few months it becomes habit and you don't really notice it that much. Its good habits to get into for later life as well. I know some people that ran over the hill and fell into the pit of despair that is overdrafts with their spending and their parents had to bail them out. Not fun!<br />
<br />
It may seem unnecessary lengths to go through to save money, but<span style="color: red;"> remember that every time you make unwise purchasing choices on a day to day basis, it really will add up</span>. E.g. buying a cup of coffee every morning you go to uni could cost you around £250 or more over the course of the University year. That would sufficiently enough to buy a couple of lolita brand pieces second hand or take me to a comiccon AND make the cosplay for it!! (Or you could be sensible and save it :P)<br />
<br />
Lastly, look for websites for students like <a href="http://www.studentbeans.com/">http://www.studentbeans.com/</a> they always have offers and info where sometimes you can get free stuff! ;)<br />
