3 Things I Loved in August 2025 (+ 1 Thing I Absolutely Hated)

 

Welcome to another edition of 3 Things I Loved in August 2025 (and 1 thing I absolutely hated). I can't believe we have under 4 months to the end of the year! Let's get down to my list!

1. The Sims 4 

I played a lot of Sims 4 this month. I used to dislike this game. Very much. But ever since they included some of their more popular expansion packs from previous versions like University and Cats & Dogs/Pets, I've enjoyed the game more. It's actually been completely addicting. So addicting that I tried freeing up space on my laptop to fit more expansion packs and I deleted some things I shouldn't have. Thus resulting in me losing all of my files and file part. Luckily, I was able to restore my laptop, but my files, including the manuscript I was working on and my short story I had written, were all gone!😣But since I've got more room on my laptop, I'm able to play The Sims 4 AND write on my laptop! Because...

2. I got a new Victus HP gaming laptop

This laptop has much more space for my writing and my Sims games. I was fortunate enough to be gifted a new laptop early for my birthday. It also came with Bluetooth headphones! So that's pretty cool! And somehow, I restored my Microsoft Office 2016, and I have Microsoft Office again. I had Microsoft Office on an older computer, a desktop computer from way back in 2015. And I had purchased Microsoft Office back then. So I am very excited to be writing in Microsoft Word and hopefully format my ebooks better.

3. I enjoyed watching a YouTube live my Instagram friend, @jijisworldd hosted

Jiji has a vibrant community and chatting with everyone made it fun.  Jiji has an infectious laugh and she was very fun to watch. I hope to attend more YouTube lives of hers. All she was doing was just talking and coloring. It felt like we were right there in her living room, just chatting like good friends. It's always good to support friends. 

Now, for the one thing I absolutely hated! ...Drum roll please...

Being tired & wired!

I'm an astrology girlie. According to my transits, I have Mars in my 12th house of dreams and the subconscious. My dreams have been very intense. One week, I punched my nightstand while dreaming about punching a Non-Playable-Character woman who I don't know in waking life. I also yelled in my sleep a lot. I know I am stressed out about some things. Also, I know I need to get back on my stationary bike and start working out again to tire my mind out. I also think that playing the Sims 4 at night has something to do with being tired and wired. So I am trying not to play the Sims 4 past 7 o'clock. Speaking of...it's the weekend as I am writing this! I'm supposed to be goofing off! 

Tell me below, what are some things you loved or disliked about your August? I'm curious to hear about it!

Until, next month!
