Lifestyle and Daily Shenanigans with a dash of Nerd Appreciation thrown in.
Willkommen!
Hello, there! I'm Mochizuki, a twenty-something year old Graphic & Web Design student located somewhere in America and welcome to Waiting for June a Lifestyle blog that occasionally gets a tad too personal, talks about cosmetics, and constantly the home for prattles about Bandcamp, nerd culture, and tea/coffee. To find out more about blog and the blogger, click here.
Thank you so much for visiting and reading Waiting for June! If you like what we do here and want to help support the addiction of the blogger, you should look into spoiling the blog and its creator with coffee and gifts by using the links below. Even if you don't, you're still pretty dope for visiting, reading, enjoying, et cetera.

Wootz!! It's Saturday and in case you didn't know, today happens to be my favourite day of the week. Since I'm a bored human being with way too much time on their hands and I also happen to really enjoy music, I decided why not make Saturdays dedicated to music. Thus! Music Saturdays. Now, I know it's not the most creative shit ever, but I seem to think it fits the ideal of my blog quite well. Anyway, the basis of Music Saturdays is simple. Every Saturday, I'll include the occasional mini-review of an album/single/EP and an 8tracks mix that is composed of songs that I get when I put my iTunes on shuffle. If a song is in one mix, it cannot reappear in another mix for 2 two months and all mixes will include between 8 and 15 tracks. I must admit that this is also an obvious attempt at trying to keep myself busy with the blog and keep my 8tracks updated at a decent pace.
Before I get into this week's (and sumeoseo's first) Music Saturdays, I need to tell you about the wonderful Friday I had when I went out my lovely wife, Hyunnie. It includes wonderful Thai food, ridiculous conversations, snackage, tasty drinks, and window shopping. I should warn you now that there is a good bit of pictures included, however, it's not a massive amount off pictures. And we totally forgot to take a picture together.
So on Thursday, Hyunnie told me that she hada job interview for rue21 on Friday and she wanted me to ask my mum if she could take her to rue21 and her mum would pick her up from there. Of course me being me, I decided that I'd be joining Hyunnie since her interview wasn't until 3 and she'd be getting there at like 1:30 and I didn't want her to be bored. Plus, I missed the wifey, let's be real here.
So I went to bed at 2am and woke up at 9:30am (unfortunately). Then I rolled over and tried to get back to sleep, only to remember that I needed to wash clothes cause I had nothing to wear. So by the time I rolled my happy, tired ass out of bed, it was like 10:25 (that time is so early, it's slightly frightening) and I had to rush to get shit washed. Now, I don't know if any of you wash your own clothes or whatever, but a normal wash takes an hour or so to complete and drying takes an hour and half plus also. So by the time I'd finish it'd have been 12:55 and my mum wanted to leave at 1. Do you see how dreadful my day started? To make a long story short, I did my makeup while washing clothes and getting dressed. The shirt I wore was barely dried when I put it on, so I had to power through that. The only thing that went seemingly easy was putting in my contacts.
So we finally picked Hyunnie up and we got to the area where rue21 is around 1:50-ish. My shirt was finally fucking dried at this point, but really, wearing slightly dried clothes is ungodly, bloody annoying. Anyway, we decided to bleh around and go into several stores in the area. First we went into Old Navy and saw a few dresses we liked and then we went and got two bottles of Jones' soda (I got the Vanilla Bean Zilch soda and Hyunnie got the Blue Bubblegum soda). Then we went to Ulta and Hyunnie bought a pair of lashes. Also! We joined Club Ulta finally....we're so late.
After that it was about 2:30-ish so we headed to rue21 and lurked about, I filled out an application and then she went into to have her interview. Eventually, I got tired of waiting around in rue21 and went to Staples to use the bathroom and walk around there. Hyun joined me a good bit of time later and we just sat in the computer chairs they have in the back of Staples and talked about random stupid stuff. I took a picture of Hyun mid laugh, but when the picture took, she looked blank, angry, and judgmental.
Finally, Hyunnie mum picked us up and she went home to change. I wish I took a picture of that outfit, cause she looked fucking delish (yes, delish...it was that sexy) and then we went out for Thai. Enjoy the picspam of food.
My Entree:Red Curry – Eggplants, carrots, chicken, coconut milk, shallots.
My Entree:Steamed Rice – Came with the Red Curry
Our Dessert: Fried Ice Cream – Mango Ice Cream encased in a deep fried shell with Strawberry Sauce, Whipped Cream, Mint Leaf and a Cherry on top.
My 2nd Dessert:Green Tea Ice Cream with Sticky Rice, Whipped Cream, Mint Leaf, and a Cherry on top.
Basically, the food was heaven, the service was heaven, everything was heaven. It's our new place to eat out. So, if you're ever in Georgia, hit us up and we'll drag you out to Thai with us. After eating we sat and talked for a good couple hours before heading home. It was a good day. Always lovely to spend time with Hyunnie. ♥
Music Saturdays #1
It's the first Music Saturday and honestly, I'm so excited to be getting something like this started. I have a crap ton of music and I've never genuinely listened to everything, so the mixes will be lovely for me to listen to songs that I missed before. So yes, this is lovely. Artwork for the mix's cover is credited to Eric Lacombe and I absolutely love his work. The mix can be found here and the full tracklist is below.
1. Hollywood Whore by Papa Roach
2. Five Minutes To Midnight by Boys Like Girls
3. じぶんROCK/Jibun Rock by ワンオクロック/ONE OK ROCK
4. Looking Glass by Little Dragon
5. Who You Are by Jessie J
6. I'm Dat Chick by Kelly Rowland
7. 싱크로율 100%/Synchronization 100% by 블락비/Block B
8. Whoa by Paramore
9. Paradise by Breezy Lovejoy
10. Dance Hall Drug by Boys Like Girls
11. JUST (/"Bossa Nova" Hidden Track) by ワンオクロッ /ONE OK ROCK
This mix is so random, it's amusing, but I absolutely adore it right now. I recommend pretty much all these songs.

Hello, there!
Welcome to Waiting for June. Waiting for June is a Lifestyle Blog that focuses predominantly on daily life shenanigans and nerd culture, but occasionally dabbles in health & beauty, food, and prattling about serious topics.
Waiting for June is the sixth iteration of the same blog with a different name and structure. The original iteration of this blog was started back in November of 2012 as a purely Beauty and Lifestyle blog under the name Monochromatics which later got abandoned and restarted under the name sumeoseo. With sumeoseo came more beauty and review based blog which quickly lost its appeal. From that point on, there were three name changes, multiple hiatuses, and two blog changes before coming to where we are now.
Throughout this journey, I've learned that this blog shouldn't be limited to what I feel fits in with what I read from other bloggers nor should I put myself in a position to compromise my integrity and the feeling of transparency that I feel should always be there. I've also learned that blogging is probably never going to be a huge source of income the way I always expected it to be. So when I finally returned back to blogging with a fresh blog and an equally fresh name, I decided to make this blog about anything that I wanted to and break the mold of trying to fit into the mold. I can only imagine where this experience is going to take me.

Hello, there!
Welcome to the little about me section of the blog. If it isn't obvious by now, I'm Mochizuki and I'm kind of pretty important here. Admittedly, Mochizuki is a nom de plume, but I digress. I'm currently somewhere in my twenty-somethings and doing that thing where I'm learning how to be a proper adult while balancing being a student and a worker. Speaking of school, I'm a Graphic Design major who's concentration is Web Design and I take my classes online. If I'm being honest here, I do everything online because of my apprehension towards too much social interaction.
I'm typically reading something, playing a video game, watching anime, or something otherwise nerdy because that's how I roll. I don't engage with people unless I'm positive there is something in common there simply because I don't want to make it weird for anyone involved. That said, the reason I originally created this blog, or rather, any of my blogging adventures, was so that I could engage with people wo share the same interests as me while simultaneously sharing my own things with people.
I'm not terribly good at about me's, so expect this to be updated sporadically in a lot of ways.

A clear and concise guide on how reviews are approached and written.
This blog touches on and is dedicated to a variety of topics including: daily life, cosmetics, my journey to being a healthier me, music, books, anime, et cetera; however, a large chunk of the content found here are some form of review be they miniature reviews or full blown, in-depth reviews. Because of this, this blog has decided to implement and share it's review policy.
Please note that this policy is liable to change at any point in time, so do constantly check back before sending inquiries to kurahge@outlook.com.
Depending on the workload and the type of product is received, at any given time, multiple products can be in queue to be reviewed.
Depending on the product, the amount of time for a review to be posted varies. Typically, the length of time is as follows: anything health or beauty releated will take between 5 days and 1 week, books take between 3 days and 5 days, music and movie reviews take between 1 to 2 days, and most other reviews are variant depending on the situation at hand.
Products are predominantly purchased with my own money. On the off chance that the product or prodcuts were provided to me, there is always a note at the top of post and as well as text within the post that acknowledges such. Despite being provided a product or not, the opinions are honest and valid.
As of April 14th, 2016, there has been a change in how reviews are formatted. If working with a product that has a list of ingredients (health, beauty, cosmetics, etcetera), there will be a graphic that lists the ingredients out of respect and transparency for the readers.
Photos for reviews, particularly health and beauty related, are unedited and provided in a clear manner to help show what results occurred (if any.)
If at any point, a review is rushed despite being informed of and knowing the review policy of this blog, I will drop the review and pay for the product accordingly. I am a college student and a full-time worker, blogging is a bit of side project no matter how much I wish it otherwise, so my time is a bit crammed. Basically, rushing will terminate any agreement we may have unless it's valid (meaning absolutely my fault.)
