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.

YOUNGBLOODS: I must say that I feel like I belong every time I put on this jacket. I feel like I'm a part of a group of people that mean something and a part of something that means a lot and almost everything. And so I'm happy. So here's to us, THE YOUNGBLOODS: the loners, the artists, the poets, the unheards, the one who are wild like the youngest of volcanoes.
Yo, everyone!!! Before we start, make sure you have the song linked above playing as you read this post. Humor me. Plus, it adds to the whole vibe of the post. Today's post should have a much happier vibe that my previous post cause yesterday was such a banging day. If you don't know, I post my blog's late at night/early in the morning of the next day and so everything I talk about is mostly a day backwards unless said otherwise. Meaning, my mood from yesterday, is feeding into thi post because I blog as night falls and becomes early morning. Make sense? I hope so.
Also, today's part is my final part of MMMIP (or My Month of May In Photos). If I find more May pictures, I'll toss the into posts randomly. Anyway, let's get this show underway.
The Fall Out Boy Package ❥
So when I got back home from New York, I still hadn't gotten my Fall Out Boy package, so I was a bit bummed...wait. This is an awkward place to start. Let's try this again.
Back in February (I don't remember the exact date), Fall Out Boy annouced their return to the music world and let me tell you...I spent a good two hours screaming and wailing (without the tears) and rolling around. I was that excited. Anyway, shortly after that announcement, they released the music video for "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)" and I just fucking lost it. For those who don't know, I'm a devoted Fall Out Boy fan and I've been so for a very, very long time and Take This To Your Grave (TTYG) is probably their best album to date, although, Save Rock and Roll and From Under The Cork Tree are close, close seconds. Anyway, after the release of that music video, they announced pre-orders and then released the music video "The Phoenix" which was then followed by "Young Volcanoes".
Initially when I went to pre-order the album, I wasn't sure about the details. I saw the words Pre-order and I was on that shit so quick. So you can only imagine my surprise when I saw that the site they had selling pre-orders included different packages. After deliberating long and hard, I decided to go ahead and shell out the 160+$ (including shipping) for the full package. The package was to come with a photobook, a set of pins, a poster, a jacket, a hoodie, a T-Shirt, the physical CD, the vinyl of the album, and a digital album. [I hope I'm not forgetting anything.]
So when I got back home from New York, I still hadn't gotten my Fall Out Boy package, so I was a bit bummed. In fact, I was slightly depressed and thought I fucked up on the address and whatnot, and after checking countless times, I knew it had nothing to do with me.
Finally after a week or so of me being home, the package finally came! And I screamed in such a loud and crude manner that I'm shocked no one outside called the cops to report assualt or murder or something of the sorts...it was that loud. I opened the package and it was glorious. I didn't manage to take proper pictures of the pins or the poster, but ssdkgskgsk the package was perfect and I don't regret a damn thing. I still haven't gotten the photobook as of yet, but I'll continue to be patient and wait for mine. Who knows? Maybe it'll come tomorrow or maybe it won't. Whatever. As long as it comes, I'm willing to wait forever.
And I get asked this a lot, "160$ is pretty steep and you're going through financial issues at the moment, aren't you going to regret it?!" and I can say this truthfully, when it comes to Fall Out Boy, one of the bands that helped me get through so much and helped me dream and hope and become more, this is hardly enough for me in terms of showing my appreciation and adoration for them. There are no regrets here...not a single fucking one.
On a side note, I'll be doing a review of Save Rock and Roll in the near future...so be on the look out for that.
The Contacts Package ❥
So you guys remember my first wishlist post on here? No, well, here's a reminder and yes, that was posted way back in February. Nevertheless, I mentioned that I purchased 6 new lenses from Kiwiberry. I didn't get them until May and I don't blame Kiwiberry as much as people would expect.
As mentioned above, I have an intense amount of patience when it comes to getting stuff delivered to me. I can wait for months on end. As long as it gets to me, I'm happy. Of course, it shouldn't take a year or almost a year...but you get the point. Anyway, after a full month and a half of waiting, I finally contacted Kiwiberry about my lenses while I was in New York. When I contacted them, they were on holiday (as were most, if not all, the contact lenses stores were) and rather than ignore me until they returned, they were kind enough to answer my message and provide me with help. That was definitely a bonus in book. Nevertheless, there was a mishap with that postal service and once they realized that, they immediately apologized and offered to send out a new package for me. Again, a bonus.
Now, let me explain why I'm not mad at Kiwiberry, I actually did get a tracking number and had been pretty much stalking my packaage as much as I could without feeling weird about doing so and it was consistently grey. What does that mean? It means that the Canada Post had gotten the electronic number for packaging, but it hadn't arrived there as of yet. This means that Kiwiberry did in fact initiate the process and it got lost somewhere along the way.
Anyway, after our messages, they eplained to me they'd send out my package minus a lenses because they were out of stock and I did not wish to replace them with another pair that weren't the pair I ordered. Since I'm a weirdo, I didn't take pictures of all the lenses. Or at least, I don't think I did; I'll check later. But I did take a picture of two of the lenses. And those are the ones pictures above.
The first picture shows off the Geo Xtra Lace Blue lenses (these are ones that tore! Sob.) and the second picture shows off a bit of the EOS Super Cotton Green which replaced the EOS Max Cotton Green which was the other pair of lenses that were out of stock. Overall, I was happy with the lenses and I'll also be doing a review of lenses in the future, but bear with me guys...life.
The Geek In Me ❥
Iron. fucking. Man. Comics. If you don't already know about my love for Iron Man and Loki and Marvel in general, please to be getting your life and educate yourself. I could go on and on about both Iron Man and Loki and why they are so fucking amazing to me and what makes me love them, but I'll spare you and say this. Iron.fucking.Man. Boom!
Mi Madre ❥
Say hello to mi madre. She's flawless and you will all deal. And she wears no pants. Boom. Immediately the best. Deal with it.
Pow! We've reached the end. Not gonna blabber too much here, but again, I'm sorry about yesterday loves. I was not trying to be a Betty Downer, but I was just not here for anything. Lucky, I went out last night and I came home feeling so much better. Nothing like night time, good music, good people, and a drive to make me happy. Just those good ass vibes.

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.

This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.
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.)
