*Author's note: Allisha Gray- Pronounced universally as 'Uh-lee-sha(h) Grey'

Disclaimers: The Allisha Gray pictures isn't mine, I don't own it and credits goes to Kristina Williams whom she did originally uploaded the picture online on *Allisha Gray plus everyone else whom they did worked their magic behind the scenes both in person and online as well.

But for the screenshots of Y**T*b* on both the iP*d and also on the Macbook Pro; they are my own screenshots.

And video evidence on Y**T*b* is also mine too as well as I did filmed it on my own video on my abandoned YT channel.

P.S Don't re-upload any of the pictures to P*nt*r*st.

If you are brand new reader; hello and welcome to my personal blog: my actual birth and legal name is Melissa hence the reason why I had typed the title on 'Melissa/ Paula writes' as the official title of my personal blog here plus in case if you are wondering about the name 'Paula'; well . . . at first I wanted to truthfully choose a different name but after a long while; as I gotten older; I truthfully think it is getting too odd for me to be legally be called 'Paula' as I am nothing like 'Paula' so I decided to go by my legal birth name 'Melissa' with my official nickname being "Mel' plus don't worry, I will still retain the name 'Paula' but only because of one of my OCs whom I named her after my online alias name 'Paula' then I am going to retain the name 'Paula' but now mostly as both an online 'alias' name of my own and also; it is going to be name one of my main OCs (OCs- original characters) which I had grew with her for a really long while and her name is Paula Leah Thompson plus her official face claim is *Allisha Gray whom I had found an actual picture of her with a really seldom hairstyle we had only seen it on her once in a still picture plus also, credits goes to Kristina Williams for the original picture of Allisha Gray on there plus picture isn't mine and I don't own the picture.

Picture caption: *Allisha Gray as the official face claim of one of my OCs; Paula Leah Thompson as the main protagonist of many of my writing projects where I should have been doing it . . . but instead . . . it all ended up being scrapped mostly because of the things and the obligations in my very own life as honestly; I did felt truthfully and mentally burned out to the point where I didn't want to truthfully want to do any of my writing projects in a long while; including now unfortunately.

Also, on a different note: since I am going to do an actual life update post on here ever since it has been a really long while ever since I did an actual post on here thus honestly I do have so many topics and things to truthfully play catch-up and all but let's get started; shall we?

Anyway, so since we are entering the month of October; I do want to truthfully wish a very happy birthday to all those whom they are truthfully celebrating their actual birthday on the current month of October including both Max V. whom I do wish him a 'Happy belated birthday' to him although he is born on September 30th which is one day just before my 29th actual birthday which we are going to truthfully talk about it in a bit however I also do wanted to wish 'Happy belated birthday' to Charles Leclerc too as well which fell on October 16th so happy belated birthday to both Charles and Max that is.

And yes, because I had mentioned that we are now/ currently in the month of October; I did turned 29 biologically just as when my favorite French sailor whom sure, he is twenty years old than me and I am twenty years his junior; Mat Richard had actually turned 49 years old biologically on June 5th 2025 which I did truthfully forget all about it unfortunately ever since I did have a really depressing year from this particular year in general that is thus honestly; I did felt so bad (And guilty as well) for not wishing Mat a very 'Happy birthday' towards him so I am so sorry about doing that to Mat Richard.

Plus sure; people are going to be skeptical with me about why would I be having a major crush on an old man whom he is twenty years older than me and vice versa that I am twenty years his junior thus honestly; people are going to call me out all they want but you know that I do have my own rights to truthfully either genuinely support Mathieu 'Mat' Richard in either a genuinely yet an unconditionally type of way or not but if you think that I am truthfully crazy for supporting an old French man who is a sailor and also a sailing coach (? Allegedly.) as well yet he is twenty years older than me (That means he is twenty years older my senior) and I am twenty years younger as his junior but if you don't have anything nice; interesting; important or all of the above to truthfully say anything in general then kindly don't try to truthfully say anything you would truthfully and instantly regretted it later on; people.

Plus on a really different note: the only highlight for me is when Liatu is actually at the WNBA where I am feeling truthfully surprised to see how she is drafted as the 28th overall draft pick in this year's WNBA Draft Pick as the third round pick however by the time when they (The L.A Sp*rks team) have to truthfully pick the players whom they have to only kept them as part of the 12 players team roster which does feels truthfully frustrating in my own opinion if you did truthfully ask me about the number of team roster player spots in all 13 of the active WNBA Teams (Speaking of the WNBA League: I had actually heard there is a full-on battle between both C*thy E. and Napheesa 'Phee' Collier as she (Napheesa) had called C*thy out not only for the way she [C*thy] had kept on enabling so many players to truthfully get injured throughout the whole season but also for the way she made the game schedule so congested to the point where everyone did aired their angry thoughts out online based on how they are feeling truthfully unhappy with the way the game schedule had been arranged on many of the team schedule despite how there are only 13 teams in the WNBA League) When we are truthfully talking about how there are a small amount of the team roster spots on all of the 13 active teams in the WNBA league also at the same time; I'd think there are so many major changes that the WNBA league alone might have to undergo a critical surge of change just as when they needed to do better; for example; better scheduling for all of the 13 active teams but also at the same time; more team roster spots on all of the active teams including both the near and the distant future teams where all teams must have a mandatory number of team roster spots as I do think the minimum mandatory number of the player team roster spot must be around 15 (Minimum) team roster spots and the maximum number must be around 18 team roster spots and there also must be additional 'emergency' team roster spots for many of the 'emergency hardship players' whom they can fulfill the void where the original player had left off due to either a serious injury or perhaps did they took a leave due to either medical reasons or for personal reasons that is.

Anyway, on a different note: I am so sorry if I am currently unable to definitely give you all the available update on my personal blog here ever since I had been so busy with my very own real life obligations and tasks in my very own real life lately just as when I am running a very tough marathon at an imaginary Honolulu marathon during my pair of least favorite seasons due to the lack of daylight hours in my own personal opinion on both autumn-fall season and winter season thus if you are a person and a human being who does actually love either fall-autumn season; winter season; the darkest seasons or even both otherwise it might be all of the above just as I had mentioned it earlier; I am so sorry for having to truthfully offend you in any type of ways in general thus no offense to everyone who is particularly reading this particular blog post of mine on my personal blog; but  . . . let's just say: I am generally a person who is an 'Anti fall season/ autumn season'; 'Anti winter season' and 'Anti season of darkness' altogether as honestly; I do actually love the sun and also the sunlight now even more so than ever as I am biologically getting older in real life and I do still truthfully love both the spring and the summer season but honestly; I am still a 'Pro spring season' type of person and also a person who actually loves both the spring season and the sun itself as well as the sunlight in general too as well--sorry to everyone if they are sincerely either a 'Pro autumn-fall season'; 'pro winter season'; 'pro darkness season'; perhaps maybe even a'pro person' of both of the season or perhaps they are an actual person who is a 'pro autumn-fall; winter and the dark season' just as I had mentioned it earlier just as when you combined all of them together--sorry; everyone.

Plus when it comes to a really small highlight for the month of September; I would say it is when I did made an actual new friend who does own a family owned business where she also does crocheting classes as well just above the fabric shop where her family owned it for a very long time and honestly; it does made me feeling truthfully happy that I finally made a new friend with both her and one of her daughters whom I did actually met them during my visit towards their fabric shop.

Also, moving onto a really sad but also an unpleasant note where I did felt truthfully uncomfortable to truthfully say this out loud but I do have to truthfully say but this change does actually saddens me to my heart especially when I am talking about the change of the video player layout on Y**T*b* just as when I am going to truthfully bring it up despite how I am someone whom she had been using Y--T*b* for a really long time now unconditionally; I did actually noticed the change to their video player plus I luckily have the physical evidence too as well to share with everyone what exactly I am writing or talking about here on my persona blog that is:

   

  

  

  

  

 

The actual evidence of the brand new version of the Y--T*b* video player I had managed to taken it via the iP*d I had owned it for a while--not sure when I did first owned the iP*d that is--the four pictures which are from Safari as you seen it on the first, second; third and the sixth pictures/ images of the physical evidence are actually from the Safari iP*d while the forth and the fifth screenshot pictures are from the Brave Browser on the iP*d where both the Brave Browser and I--we both are slowly but surely starting to build a steady relationship between me and it; this is where unfortunately Y**T*b* had made a 'huge' mistake in my own opinion by changing the video player layout as honestly; it does actually give me an actual headache whenever I did press a key letter such as 'K' which means 'Play/ pause' the video then instead; this is where they did change the 'play/ pause'  symbol from a fade transition of either pressing 'k' to either 'play' the video or to 'pause' a video to a shrinking transition where I am feeling truthfully unhappy with the change as the shrinking transition of pressing a key to either play a video; pause a video: put a video on mute or to turn on the volume--the shrinking transition does actually give me an actual headache just as when I am going to truthfully share the actual evidence based on what exactly I am talking about here.

Yes, I did it on one of my own videos on my now abandoned Y--T*b* channel on there just so you can truthfully understood more what exactly I am talking about here plus I'd think this is my first time uploading an actual video evidence on my personal blog here based on what exactly I am talking about here thus honestly; I am so sorry if I didn't took the old version ever since I did took it for granted and now, I did immediately regretted the way I hadn't truthfully taken the screenshot of the physical evidence based on what exactly I am talking about here to be honest here, everyone.

   

Anyway, staying on the same topic but also moving from there as well; I am also going to truthfully share the evidence of another change that I am feeling truthfully unhappy about what Y--T*b* did; this is where I am going to truthfully share on the part where whenever I did wanted to truthfully play a song individually; but then it made a transition into a radio mix mode especially whenever we wanted to truthfully listen to a song individually online from Y--T*b* itself here then this is where I am going to share the physical evidence here despite how it is a really old evidence I had taken it for a long while however I am going to truthfully share it on here anyway based on what exactly I am talking or writing on this particular blog post on my personal blog here:

 

  

   

All of those screenshots are entirely taken from the Brave Browser I had it installed on my 6 year old 2019 Macbook Pro with the now currently discontinued touch bar. Also, the information about the whole 'radio YT mix' I had actually spoken about here is actually located on the right side of the screen and perhaps if you did clicked on the third picture then you can clearly see on the right side of the Y--T*b* page; then you can actually see the 'Y--T*b* radio mix' they had provided it just for you when you are trying to individually listening to a song online but instead they did ended up redirecting you to a 'Y--T*b* mix' where they (*They = Y--T*b*) would redirect you to the radio mix playlist where they would kept the autoplay on and also at the same time; they would made a transition to the next song and music video immediately after the current song you did wanted to listen to it individually however instead it does ended up transiting you to the 'YT radio playlist mix' where it does ended up playing the video of a song where you did wanted to originally listen to it at first however after it finished just as when the video came to an end then suddenly; 'Bam!' you just got an actual jump scare of how there is another video playing in the background out of nowhere just as when they did automatically turned on the autoplay and honestly; this is also another issue I did have with Y--T*b* especially when you did wanted to listen to the song individually.

Anyway, this is part one of the life update based on where I have been up to lately and also the issues on how YT does change the video player style and in part 2 of this particular post: I'll share the old version of the YT old player as well as many of the other informations I would be sharing it on here too as well to be honest; everyone.

Anyway, if you had read this far of this particular life update; then congrats; I do wanted to say 'Thank you so much' and 'Mahalo nui loa' for having to truthfully read this far yet having to be patient with me as well at the same time plus in case if you are wondering about what are the two posts I did actually last posted it on here on the 'Art reference' post; I did actually posted it on here as a 'art reference' post mostly for the reason that firstly, I did managed to save more ideas for my original characters whom they had been part of my personal project where I had been doing it for a really long time on my personal blog but it didn't actually happen however I couldn't guarantee any actual promises on when is it going to happen based on the outcome on when is the project is going to truthfully happen however I am going to definitely post it on here ever since I did felt as my personal blog is an actual blog of mine where I do post many of my original projects on my own terms as well as my own unbiased thoughts and biased thoughts alike as well as the life update just like this one as well as other posts too as well based on what exactly I am posting thus anyway, I'll see you on the other side and also, congrats to Sandy B. for becoming the official head coach for the Toronto Tempo too as well.

Plus I'll see you on the other side.
