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.

Today's Look: This has nothing to do with this post, but I feel like there hasn't been enough of my face on this blog lately. So I'm changing that right off the bat.
[If you're my friend on Facebook, you've probably already seen this. Can you tell that I'm totally loving this wig when it's straight?]
Hey everyone! I'm not gonna lie, I almost missed today's post. I had a lot of stuff to do today and I was running around like mad and now, I'm tired and several shades of exhausted. That being said, pardon any and all typos in my grammar or spelling today for I am way too lazy to go back and edit this right now. (I'll totally come back any edit it after a decent rest. Promise!)
So today's post, and the second post of mine for the blog hop #21daystilsummer, will be primarly a photo post. I meant to do this earlier, but life gets in the way and bleh. This is the first half of my take on My Month of May In Photos that follows up my A Month In Instagram: May Twenty Thirteen post. This is the first part of maybe two? I'm not quite sure cause I need to go over the pictures I took and see which fall under May and which I want to post up.
But anyway, let's jump into this, yeah?
For this post, I'm going to start with the latest outing I had in May. Technically it was on the 1st of June, but I still consider that May, since first days are always a part of the last month in my eyes. So anyway, on this day, I went out with NIL and we met up with Hyunnie as well as our other mates Zach and Dez. We headed over to Zach's place and had loads of fun. Runs to McDonald's, watching Shingeki no Kyojin, watching a couple Highschool of the Dead, and ending up playing pool on Zach's pretty bitchin' pool table. Anyway, it was lovely fun. And here's the pictures of us being the cool kats we are.
Before: Before wwe got to Zach's house, I snapped a quick picture of myself and my makeup.
So let me tell you about this picture. This picture was actually the best of the bunch and know this, I took a shit fucking ton. Nevertheless, I think I looked pretty decent this point. Afterwards, however, I looked like hell. I had sweat out my makeup and my body was overheating (as it normally does) so I just looked a mess. But I'm glad I got this picture down. Side note: That wing I made with my liner was the best fucking wing I ever made. You don't understand how proud of that shit I was. Ayeee.
I don't even need to describe this picture. This accurately describes our day to day life. Hyun with her camera while Zach and NIL have their laptops out. What you can't see is that I had my laptop out and resting beside me and Zach had his XBOX hooked up on the flat screen. Not to mention cell phones every fucking where. Basically, electronics everywhere. And that is our daily lives.
Sadly, Dez isn't in this picture cause he came later on.
My wifeu: Hyunnieeeeeeeeeeee.
This, this right here is the exiest bitch evar! No but seriously, she's gorgeous right? Be jealous cause das mah wipeu. Deal with it.
Hide & Seek: Zach and NIL.
I was trying to get Zach only, but NIL happened to be in the line of the shot and seeing as NIL saw the flash go off, NIL was prompted by deault to tilt away from the picture. Honestly, It would have been less of a thing if NIL hadn't moved, but whatever....
And before you ask, Zach is as awkward as he looks. Also, he has the tendency to look like the long lost member of B2K.
[I have amazing Photoshop skills.]
I ♥ Haters: Dez.
FInally Dez showed up and if I'm remembering correctly, he came directly from work. Can we all take a moment to appreciate his hat and shirt? His hat says "I ♥ Haters" and his shirt has DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince on it. I'm still trying to figure out how to steal it without him kicking my ass. (I'm totally kidding. But seriously, I need to find those.)
From May 20th to the 24th, I was over at Hyunnie's place and while I didn't take a lot of pictures I liked, I did manage to take some selfies that I deemed appropriate. No explanations here, just enjoy my bloody face. ♥
Sometime in May we (meaning Hyunnie, NIL, and I) went to Waffle House. It was delicious. Omfg. Best shit ever (next to iHop, really.)
I didn't add description to these pictures because hey, a picture's worth a thousand words, right? In this case, it's worth a thousand delicious, delicious words. I will say that in that first picture, that is in face a Fall Out Boy hat and it came in the package that I bought with their new CD, the CD on Vinyl, a hoodie, a jacket, a T-Shirt, and a poster. I'm supposed to be getting a photobook sometime in the future. But you'll see all those goodies in the next MMMIP (My Month of May In Photos). Also, that's my phone wrapped up in that cute blue owl case. It's one of the new cases I bought a while back and I adore it. I switched it out though and currently, my phone is cased in this.
I am so sorry that this post seems rushed and all over the place. I tried to have some structure, but when I'm tired/exhausted...shit doesn't not stay structured at all. I'll come back and edit this post according in the long run, so yeaaah.
I'm probably going to be saying this for a while at the end of everyone post and I'm sorry if I get a bit repetitive, but if you haven't followed me on Bloglovin', you need to do so before GFC shuts down for good. Also, if you're interested in button swapping, check out all the information you need here.
Until next time, lovies. And remember, you're all lovely and I love you like I love seaweed wraps. ♥

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.)
