Aloha and hello; welcome back to my personal blog and if you are truthfully new here then aloha; hello and welcome to my personal blog where I did post countless different posts on here; whether is it about my very own life; fan fiction; my OCs; pictures posts or even something else then; hello, my name is Melissa which is my actual legal birth name that I go by and you can call me 'Mel' just in case if you are wondering plus 'Paula's is actually an online alias that I used to go by that name however it is now consider to one of my main protagonists original characters where I decided to name her Paula Leah Thompson as one of the original main female protagonists where I am truthfully inspired by a picture of Allisha Gray whom she did sported a really different yet a very exclusive and a seldom hairstyle where I could found it online through Kristina Williams whom she did originally uploaded the picture onto X which is formerly known as Twitter however because people aren't the biggest fan of X due to how the super villain El*n M*sk whom he had taken over the full-on ownership of Twitter and changed the name from Twitter to X followed by making the changes to X where it does led to so many people moving towards other platform hence the reason why there are alternatives such as Bl**Sky; Thr**ds and even some people would count both R*dd*t and T*mblr too as well in their own cases.
Before we can get any further; I do wanted to give you all a small but a clear clarification based on did I ever either write all of my own blog posts both on here and also on my T*mblr blogs too as well or do I otherwise rely on ** T*chn*l*gy; I would say 'Erm, no offense but you do realize I did all of my blog posts on here and my T*mblr blogs all by myself as a 'one woman's job' and not to simply rely on using ** technology thus honestly; lately; when I did always logged into T*mblr lately on both my phone and also on my 6 year old 2019 Macbook with the now discontinued Touch-Bar; this is where I did noticed the part whenever I did went to the 'F1 Fanfic' tag then this is where people had send messages towards the authors whom they usually do many of the F1 Fan Fictions online on T*mblr where random people had asked the question or even sending a message towards the author where they did mentioned that they did used ** Technology to do their writing projects but oh heck no, on my Honolulu long surf board on Liatu's long surf board; we--both the writers, artists; creators and even creators plus myself included into the conversation too as well; we don't truthfully use ** technology to definitely either do the art; the writing and everything else in between and so on and so forth plus if you do truthfully think we do use it to definitely do all of the creative process just for us then don't truthfully try to think about it because firstly; there are so many creators whom they sometimes rely on both the interests and the hobbies they would do it not only as a personal business they had truthfully planned on it ever since when they are really young keikis but also at the same time; this does led to the second reason where they too also have to rely on an interest and a hobby where they had either decided to turn it into a side hustle or otherwise into an actual business company then you do realize they did had worked so hard on their own personal yet original crafts both online and offline; on-camera and off-camera too as well plus unfortunately with the growing concerns of ** technology and yet how there are so many creators had been struggling both online and offline; don't even truthfully even think about how we creators would rely on ** technology only to let it do all of the work as honestly; there is no complete way it is going to truthfully replace human work both in the long term run and in general that is plus if you think we did actually use ** technology to definitely let it do all of art, writing and even other work processes then don't even truthfully think about it because, honestly; we don't truthfully use ** technology especially when we are talking about how there are countless creators whom they had worked so hard on their own personal projects too both online, offline; on camera and off camera too as well as they had worked so hard to do all of their own work with their own bare hands; their own minds and even their own hearts too both in person and online as well.
Also, I know it does feels way too much for me to pour it out based on what do I have to truthfully said about ** technology as usually I don't truthfully liked talking about it in general but I am hoping this can definitely be the 'first and last/ final' answer to make sure that everyone can truthfully understood that we didn't actually use ** technology to do all of the creative process throughout all of our own personal projects we did both online and in person that is.
Anyway, if you want to definitely support your independent creators then please do it so both in person and online and they would definitely thank you for it that is for sure; everyone.
Please, give your independent business owners and creators the equally unconditional, steady; and the genuine yet the clear amount of support you can both in person and online plus they will thank you for it when you did it so thus sometimes; actions speaks louder than words.
Also, on a really different note: since Sandy Brondello is going to be the official head coach for the Toronto Team: I do wanted to truthfully congratulate her for becoming the official head coach for the Toronto Tempo Team; here are the compilation of players I would love to see them allegedly if there is an actual 'Green light' for the WNBA expansion draft pick and honestly; this is entirely based on the picks I did have towards the players despite how there are certain players where people stopped rooting for them mostly because of how they played for Isr--l--ugh; but anyway; here are my choice of players for the Toronto Tempo team. Plus although it did sounds biased but . . . I just simply just choose them because those are the players that does comes into my head that is; everyone:
An unofficial mock list of the Toronto Tempo players (Mel's version/ Paula's version):
-Elizabeth Kitley
-Taj Cole
-Charli Collier
-Lauren Manis
-Alyssa Ustby
-Cierra Burdick (If she does wishes to do 5x5 WNBA basketball)
-Harmoni Turner
-Serena Sundell (Very underrated player if you did truthfully ask me)
-Crystal Bradford (I highly doubt they would choose her but if they did then good for everyone--a win-win situation)
-Shyanne Sellers (Don't argue with me about why I would add her to the list despite how she plays for a team in Isr**l)
-Chennedy Carter (I know, everyone wants her back for real)
-Deja Kelly
-Maria Gakdeng
-Maya Dodson
-Destinee Henderson (Anyone does remember her/ them?)
-Shea Peddy
-Kayla Williams
-Zaay Green
- Bree Hall
-Sania Feagin (I'd think I might be sensing a South Carolina Gamecock alumnas reunion here . . .)
-Destinee Walker (If she is still playing basketball then she could be added into the mix)
-Unique Thompson (Again, with Destinee's case; if she is still playing basketball then she can be added into the mix)
-Liatu King (My wahine; could she be added in there? I have no idea. But could she be the force to be reckon with everyone? Absolutely.)
-Madison Scott (Again, I don't know if she wants to leave Washington D.C but I highly doubt it is going to happen anytime soon in my own opinion that is.)
-Raquel Carrera (Uncertain if she did wanted to enter into the WNBA but if she wanted to then that's fine, I could consider her to be 'Nico H. of the Toronto team in my own opinion but if not; then we may have to move on from there and add somebody else into the mix instead and not to put any pressure on Raquel to enter into the WNBA so instantly just as what everyone had expected on her that is.)
-Diamond Johnson (Perhaps but I am not exactly too sure that is in my own opinion that is but I know everyone else had been wondering about she had been doing for a while that is)
-Anneli Maley (She is a very interesting addition despite how she had only went through the training process but didn't make it to the finalized version on the team roster that is in my own opinion that is.)
Anyway, so those are my hand-picked version of the choice of players for the Toronto Tempo players obviously but let's just say I did tried my best by the way to definitely choose the players based on who I can actually think of and I am so sorry if this is the only compilations I can only truthfully think of to be honest and I am so sorry about that; everyone.
On a really different note; I know this particular part is the long awaited part where everyone is wondering what exactly I am truthfully talking about the old version of Y--T*b* video player as how does the pause and the play does played out and also at the same time how does the old video player does looked like along with the video suggestion at the end of the video once the video where you are either watching it online or you listened to it in the background; then this is where it does suggest you the video where it does truthfully looked like just as when luckily I managed to save the physical evidence based on what exactly I am speaking about here to be honest and honestly; this is what exactly I am truthfully talking about here:
All of the physical screenshots I did inserted from Y**T*b* are entirely my own screenshots and yes, I did luckily took a screenshot of it and keep it in a nick of time because if I hadn't then I would have self-sabotage myself or beating myself up with self-destruction as honestly; I would had beaten myself up as a way of self-sabotaging myself if I hadn't truthfully taken the screenshot of it myself in an actual nick of time since Y**T*b* had changed actually and also not only changed their video layout alone but they also had changed the comment section too as well as the microphone where it you are supposed to search for something with your voice however I am not feeling truthfully happy with the way they did more changes to it and honestly; it does truthfully infuriates me so deeply to the point where I did now have to post all of the evidence ov my very own personal blog here based on what exactly I am talking plus it also does truthfully saddens me too as a long time Y**T*b* user and also a person whom they did definitely maintain an unconditionally strong, steady and loyal relationship between me and Y**T*b* user however when changes to the video player; adding the 'Radio Mix' into a video where you did wanted to play music individually change as well as the comment section as well thus honestly: I am feeling truthfully unhappy with the changes they had made and honestly; it does truthfully infuriates me if you did truthfully ask me all about the changes on Y**T*b* and honestly; it saddens me to truthfully share the sad thoughts on what is going on with the changes on Y**T*b* as a long time Y**T*b* user plus I do have the receipts and evidence to share it with everyone if you didn't truthfully believe me based on what exactly I am truthfully talking about here to be honest; everyone.
The old version of the Y**T*b* video player i had taken a screenshot from F*r*F*x (Credits to Go Wild and YT for the video on many of their nature documentaries on Y**T*b* including this particular video of a screenshot which I took on a 'Tales of nature' series which is the second episode.)
The old domain and layout of Y**T*b* which luckily we still managed to have this current web design; layout and domain to this very current day which I am feeling genuinely; deeply and truthfully thankful and happy yet satisfied all at the same time they had decided to retain the official old domain; layout and web design of Y**T*b* where we luckily still have it to this day thus honestly; I'd think they should definitely retain this particular web domain; web design and web layout of Y**T*b* for a really long time unconditionally and also generally in my own opinion that is.
The old version of the video suggestion just as when a video where you either watched it all the way to end of the video or otherwise you just play it in the background had came to end with their video suggestion which I do preferred this one to the new version which I did truthfully managed to take a screenshot of it in part 1 of my 'life update post' thus if you are feeling truthfully interested in reading all about it; then it is mentioned above just as when I had inserted it into the earlier part of the blog post.
Another version of the video suggestions just as when a video where you are currently watching it online or listening to it in the background did came to an end but this time with the full on version of the web domain; lay out and design as I did luckily managed to truthfully take a screenshot of it (Again, "In a nick of time" instantly) ever since I did truthfully forget about how critical it is for me to definitely make sure that I can truthfully dave the physical screenshot just in case because sometimes; you may never know: it may sometimes came in handy thus honestly; I originally had a thought of how I did wanted to actually delete the screenshot altogether however because of the changes Y**T*b* had made then this is where I am going to save it for now ever since I might use it for future reference that is in my own opinion that is.
The old version of the comment section however I also did managed to actually save the much older version which is actually similar however the only difference is that they had made a small change to it is definitely on how they had decided to add the
'@ symbol' with the account names and a four code number unless if the creator does have the allowance of changing it to a name where they can rename it to something else plus removing too on the four code number from the end of their account names.
This is the much older version of the comment section below the video however I decided to upload it on here anyway just so you can see the difference between both version of the comment section where the earlier version does have the "@ [Account/ Channel name and four number code]" and meanwhile the much more older version of the comment section does have the full names of the YT Channel account where if you did click on the picture for a closer look then you know there are a small amount of changes they did with the comment section is definitely the account name change I would say; but then again . . . you might want to truthfully click on the picture and right click on it to definitely open the picture in a new tab to look at the evidence at both an up and close point of the actual evidence if you did ask me.
Speaking of comment section; this is where luckily I did truthfully managed to leave a comment for Athletes Unlimited during the second official season of the Athletes Unlimited plus I am still feeling uncertain about whether they did upload the missing game on YT since I did remembered my first wbb queen; *Allisha Gray whom I consider her to be the 'Comeback queen' in my own opinion since she is the one particular basketball player whom she made me want to truthfully return back my love of both the WBB and the WNBA back in 2021. (**2021 is also the same season where Allisha is still playing with the D*ll*s W*ngs Team and I, for one; will surely and sorely will miss her on the D*ll* s W*ngs for sure but with the likes of Maddy S.; Paige B. and also how they kept on repeating the same pattern of how they would hire a coach then they would fire the coach; it does make me feeling not wanting to rooting for the W*ngs Team anymore unfortunately and still; I'd think they'll have the same pattern of how they'll always want to hog on the draft picks if you did truthfully asked me.
Also, on a different note: if they did managed to found the game and upload the missing WBB Game no. 29 where Allisha is the queen of the game then feel free to let me know on any of the platforms where I am currently at online.
(*Author's note: If you are feeling unsure how to pronounce it then pronounce it as the universal version of 'Uh-lee-sha(h) Grey' just to made it more simple just in case if you are wondering how to pronounce her name thus honestly: I am feeling truthfully drained of the argument on how the pronounce her name on either as 'Uh-lee-sha(h)'; 'Ah-lee-sha(h)' or 'El-lee-sha(h)' which the third pronunciation of her name is my least favorite so all I can say is 'F*** both the D*ll*s W*ngs for disrespecting her plus not giving her the spcae; the time and the room to let grow on her own terms and also, f*** Atl*nt* Dr**m for taking her away too as well. Plus no offense to everyone whom they loved both teams or one of the teams I had mentioned it earlier but I do sincerely felt heartbroken when I heard Allisha wanted to leave D*ll*s for Atl*nt* due to reason no. 1; the former head coach VJ had allegedly spoke about her very negatively after the L*s V*g*s Ac*s vs D*ll*s W*ngs game back on June 5th 2021 thus again, this is all an alleged information about what had happened behind closed doors thus whoever said she wants to follow the former head coach V.J then don't even think about it because . . . I suspect: I did truthfully have a really bad feeling all about Vickie Johnson herself and no offense to everyone in general but to this day; she [Former W*ngs head coach V*cky J*hns*n] does truthfully give me some really negative feelings about V*cky J*hns*n. Plus reason no. 2; I am still feeling sincerely angry towards them (D*ll*s W*ngs) about how they would kept on enabling Ar*k*'s bad behavior from how she had slammed a water bottle on the sideline during another game of the L*s V*g*s Ac*s vs the D*ll*s W*ngs back when they (Again; we are truthfully talking about the D*ll*s W*ngs) are feeling truthfully short-handed with very few healthy players yet they are forced to face them on September 2021 [I don't remember which game is that so I am so sorry about that]; which she [Ar*k*] did created a wet, slippery and potentially a dangerous wet surface on the floor where what if someone does truthfully slip and fall dangerously on the floor where they did got hurt; hospitalized and worse; losing their own lives as they succumb from their own injuries in very seldom yet the more critical cases out of nowhere but they kept on enabling her (Ar*k* O.) bad behavior??? Come on.
Sorry if I did went off topic but still, there are so many unanswered questions where people kept on questioning about why did she [*Allisha- *Author's note: Uh-lee-shah on the universal pronunciation] left D*ll*s for Atl*nt* as well as why they did kept on enabling Ar*k*'s bad behavior as well as letting AO 24 to get away with such bad behaviors and meanwhile Allisha; on the other hand had to face the scrutiny of the punishment of how she had been criticized so poorly by the former head coach of the D*ll*s W*ngs V*cky J*hns*n.)
Another screenshot evidence of the old version of both video suggestion after the video ends with the same old version of the video player which does make me miss the old version of the YT player even more so than ever to be honest. (Credits to both NHK World Japan and YT for the video [NHK World Japan], the web layout; domain and design as well (Y**T*b*).
Double evidence of my favorite art Y**T*b*r Tina Tran a.k.a Imawonder whom when I heard she had said she will have to put her focus on pursuing other endeavors ever since I'd think she did mentioned in her recent art video where she said she'll stay on Y**T*b* which is good news for her fans (Including me, myself and I) but will only be putting her main focus on the art livestream which does makes me feeling truthfully sad because no. 1; I do wanted to join in the art live stream where she does it monthly however because I am so busy with my very own life and yet it does feels hard for me to truthfully to keep up with it due to the different time zones; no. 2: although I usually only do art on the sideline just for fun and nothing too extra-ordinary on either turning it into a side hustle or otherwise turning into an actual ambition and profession at the same time which I know it does gravely disappoint so many different people whom they do truthfully have the expectation of how they would wanted to see me definitely turn my art from just a recreational hobby into an actual profession by turning it into an actual business of my own art company which unfortunately' if you actually did turn it into an actual profession by turning it into your very own business; unfortunately: it does feels truthfully tough to definitely keep it afloat as again, if you read part 1 of the life update then you know what exactly I am speaking about here to be honest based on how there are so many creators whom they had worked so hard on having to convert their 'true' passions and hobbies into an actual profession by having to truthfully create and start their very own independent business companies where they can get to be their own boss; they can get to fix their own business hours and also at the same time; this is where they too can also get to do what they actually love to do as both a hobby and a profession at the same time in general however when she did mentioned about she suddenly had mentioned about how she did noticed that there are less sp*s*rsh*ps (sponsorships) whom they'll work with her due to a number of different reasons; then this is where she mentioned that she will be pursuing other endeavors while staying at the art department at the same time while placing her focus too on Patreon as well as Y**T*b* thankfully because as someone whom I did followed her (Tina Tran that is) on Y**T*b*; I do feel sad about the part where she had mentioned that she is going to now mainly post on both live streams and also a single video once per month on YT; it does make me even more sad because firstly; I don't truthfully put any actual level of blame on her because honestly; it does feels tough to truthfully be both an online creator; an art business owner and also an artist all at the same time thus I do wanted to wish her all the very best in general based on whatever endeavor she is going to pursue; plus in other words: I did truthfully wish her (Tina Tran a.k.a Imawonder) well and all the very best in general that is--unconditionally, literally and sincerely all at the same time as well.
Plus also, credits to Imawonder a.k.a Tina Tran and YT for the live stream video you can find it online as well as YT for the old version of the video player as well as the current web domain; layout and design we luckily have it today on Y**T*b* that is despite how they had changed the video player design and also, perhaps the comment section allegedly? I am not too sure about it that is for sure.
Plus if you did actually read the first part; then you know I did managed to upload a video on my personal blog based on what exactly I had shared with you on the evidence based on how does the 'play/ pause' key does appear on the screen whenever you press either the 'K' key on your keyboard which is supposedly to be one of the keyboard "Key" symbol when you wanted to either press 'play' or 'pause' the video where you are either currently watching it fully online or you are putting it into the background; then maybe you wanted to press either 'k' key to either pause the current video where you are either watching it online or pausing it while letting it play in the background or resume the video by pressing the same letter 'k' key or otherwise; it could have been the spacebar on the keyboard where it does have the same function as when you press the letter 'k' to either press to either play a video; pause a video; resume playing a video or to definitely replay the same video on whether you are either watching it online or you playing the video in the background as the background noise; then you did knew that I had truthfully mentioned about the part when I did pressed the letter 'k' to either play the video or to pause the video then you know they too had made the change too as well however in the newer version of the change; then you did noticed how they did definitely change the 'play/ pause' symbol key on screen as well as the 'mute' symbol which you press the letter 'm'
key and a pair of the up and down arrows on the 'volume' symbol too on whether you are lowering the volume or turning up the volume key too; then this is where they decided to truthfully had changed from the original version as you seen it in the video I had inserted it above just as when I am turning on the 7 hour long Oahu driving video from 4K Urban life via YT; then you know I do preferred the old one where the key symbol where you either press 'k' for 'play' or 'pause' video; 'm' for mute or unmute the video (Again; I am going to repeat it multiple times) or even one of the arrows which if you did press the 'up' arrow to turn up the volume or the 'down' arrow to lower the volume; then this is where you did truthfully noticed the change from how they had changed it from the old version where it would appear then it disappears immediately if you did watched the video I had inserted it above in this particular post then you know this is the old version but if anyone does wonder if they had changed it in the new version then yes, they did made the change which made me feeling truthfully unhappy about the change thus you may have to see 'Part 1' of the life up and the Mel's thoughts post I did posted it on Thursday.
On a personal note: yes, I am actually resistant to change in general plus I too am also the type of person who does felt skeptical when it comes to change in general as I generally am very much against change especially when it comes to very certain things as when I did mentioned it in both part of the 'Life update' post in my own opinion that is.
Anyway, on a much lighter note: I am going to truthfully working on a writing project where Logan and a wahine reader is going to definitely do something surprising in my own opinion as she did wanted to see him playing the 'Bratz Forever Diamondz' video game on an old PS2 gaming console where she had gotten it from an old school mate of hers where they did went to the same school together back when they are keikis whom they both are going to school then one day, she did sent her a box of goods where she had mentioned in a hand-written letter where she wanted her to have both the gaming console and also the 'Bratz Forever Diamondz' video game which the both of the items are in good condition while the former classmate of hers whom she had given her the alias of 'Nadine' in order to protect their 'true' identity due to the privacy concern and after playing it for a certain amount of time offline fan fiction story-line wise; this is where the reader had ask Logan to play the game for a 'Valentine's Day' video special where she and Logan--they both had a commentary where she had taught him how to play the game while keeping it light hearted and fun at the same time; just as when I did managed to wrote a sneak peek of the writing project on my main T*mblr blog so you can check it out at there if you wish to read the sneak peek of the writing project.
Anyway, very long life update and also at the same time; a 'Mel's thoughts' post at the same time on my personal blog plus for the writing project: although I couldn't guarantee any actual promises on when is it going to happen but please make sure you can keep a close eye out on it by bookmarking my personal blog as well as copying and pasting the link to either a Notes app or a Pages app however if you are truthfully writing it on a piece of paper or better yet; a physical notebook then please make sure you write the url blog name of my personal blog on here correctly or otherwise please bookmark it on any browsers where you are currently using or otherwise check through my Bl**sky for the link posts on there as well as my T*mblr blogs too as well so I'll see you on the other side; everyone.
