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.
This weekend was absolutely lovely, guys. And I genuinely mean that. It was something that I definitely needed. I finally got to see my lovely wife, otto, again after not seeing her since Thanksgiving weekend and I just was already set for the weekend when we picked her up. She gave me my Christmas gifts, which I totally forgot to take pictures of, but when I do, I'll update this post with them, and I gave her hers.
She almost took back the gift she got me when she saw mine cause she felt that it wasn't up to par with what I got her...but I loved it. I loved that she gave me the cutest things ever and I'm happy with them. In case you're wondering, I got her the same camera I have but in black. You can read more about in at her post.
We pretty much spent the entire day together and then she spent the night. So it was tons of time to catch up. As you can see we went to Subway, but we also went to our favourite Thai place and the Caribbean bakery. So yum yum. This may come as a shock to people, but despite being fat...amongst the group of friends I have, I eat the least. I can normally eat a sandwich or a snack and be full enough to bypass a meal until later on in the day. Which is what ended up happening on Saturday. After eating the Subway, I ended up not being hungry enough to eat any of the Thai until later.

My Subway Sandwich
I'll kickstart the rest of this post with my lovely sandwich. I get the same thing every, single time because it's so yum yum. You guys should definitely try it if you want whenever or if you hit up your closest Subway. I get a Veggie Patty with mayo, American Cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, banana peppers, and more mayo. Try it. You'll probably love it as much as I did if you're a fan of pickles, mayo, and are up for trying banana peppers. Also, this picture was taken after otto and I both took bites. I tried to take it from an angle where you couldn't see the bites too obviously, but you can still sorta see them. Oh wells.
otto's Pretzel.
otto wanted a little snack too, she bought a pretzel and we shared a drink. As you can see, there was so much butter on the pretzel that it not only seeped into the napkin, but it left an imprint of the pretzel in it. Also, I'm not a hug fan of pretzels as it is, but went I stole a small piece of hers, I just died at how salty it was. And this is coming from someone who loves butter and butter can be pretty fucking salty. I was so done with it. It was too salty for it. Kudos to wifey for managing to make it through the entire pretzel while we sat there at talked.
Can we just talk about how much I just love going out to eat wherever with otto and we can sit there for hours just talking and talking and never really get bored? Seriously, we're like two old buddies who are catching up every time we're out to eat. And I only mention this because it's been about a year and half since otto and I really got close despite knowing each other for six years. Listening to us chat, you'd never be able to tell though.
After Subway, we headed to my place for the night. Which we spent watching vids, jamming to music, chatting here and there, and eating. By this time we had already been to the Thai place, Dollar General, and the Caribbean bakery. So we had Aloe Vera drinks, beef patties, our Thai food, and peach rings, pies, and oatmeal creme pies for snack. Before we indulged in snackage, we ate our Thai dinners. Well, I ate much later than otto, but I managed to get pictures of everything.
otto's Tom Yum: Hot and Spicy Soup (mild)
My white rice: The side for my green curry.
My Green Curry: It pictures horrible when in a container, but trust...it's deeelicious.
Cripsy Calamari & Sauce: Appetizer #1 with otto's new camera and hand making a special appearance.
Crispy Tofu, Crispy Tofu Sauce & Cream Cheese Roll: Appetizer #2 & #3. The tofu's sauce was so deeelicious, I couldn't deal. Just the right amount of spicy to balance out the slightly sweetness of it. Also, this is otto's share of the appetizers cause I decided not to eat at this point and stored my share of it away.
B&J's Fuzzy Navel: The last one that was given to otto. Ignore the horrible shape my nail is in, I was in the process of removing/cleaning them when I decided to take the pictures.
My Thai Coffee: This is the usual for me and I drank a good bit of it on the way home, but I love it. Pardon the dirty computer desk, I tried to blur it out, but whatever.
otto got theTom Yum and Tom Kha (not pictured) like she got last time and I got the Red Curry(pictures later) from last time, as well as some Green Curry. I ate the Green Curry first while the Red Curry is in my fridge waiting to be eaten. We got Crispy Calamari, Cripsy Tofu, and Cream Cheese Rolls for appetizers. While otto drank my last B&J Fuzzy Navel (I promised her if I had one left, she'd get it if my mum didn't drink it), I had my typical Thai Coffee. My mum got Teriyaki Tofu and Tofu Soup neither of which I got to get pictures of, but the soup was a bit too salty and the Teriyaki Tofu was so deeelicious.
I knocked out pretty early on Saturday cause I woke way too early to stay up any longer than 10. So I napped, woke up at 3, then fell back asleep at around 4. In that time, I ate some peach rings. I did a review of the restaurant where we get our Thai Food from here.
I also had the package from AVENUE with my new pants in it waiting when I arrived back on Saturday and I have to admit that I love 'em. That alongside my new goodies are to be saved for a later post. To say goodbye, have a picture of my face. ((That totally didn't sound narcissistic. Haha.))
My face. Ew. Overall, just eww. And I really did hate my mouth in the picture.

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.)
