ALOHA A HUI HOU TO THE KATASSE OHANA.

I WISH THE KATASSE FAMILY WELL AS THEY JOURNEY ON TO WHEREVER LIFE TAKES THEM.  I CAN ONLY WISH THAT I SPENT MORE TIME WITH THEM BEFORE THEY LEFT.  BUT I AM ALSO HONORED TO CALL THEM MY FAMILY TOO.

BROOKE:

"I'LL NEVER FORGET YOUR KIND AND SWEET PERSONALITY AND HOSPITALITY" AND OF COURSE, YOUR "ONION DIP" & "APPLE DESSERTS".

JAYSEN:

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SHOOT THAT AWESOME SR-15 (THEY I SAY THAT RIGHT???) RIFLE.  THAT WAS AWESOME, CAN'T WAIT TO GET ONE OF MY OWN IN THE NEAR FUTURE.  I'LL ALSO MISS PICKING ON YOU AS I HAVE NO ONE TO PICK ON...  YOU BIG CRY-BABY.  YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOURSELF WHEN YOU NEARLY GOT YOUR EYE POKED "ACCIDENTALLY" BY BRIAN IN THE DUMPSTER AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.  CLASSIC MOMENT AND AT LEAST YOU STILL GOT YOUR EYEBALL...  LOL!!!

JACOB:

YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY TO BE A PERFECT & HANDSOME GENTLEMAN AS YOU GROW.  YOU HAVE WONDERFUL MANNERS AND A JOYFUL ATTITUDE, KEEP IT GOING AND "DO NOT ADAPT TO YOUR DAD'S FOOLISHNESS & CLUMSINESS".

PARKER:

YOU ARE PROBABLY GONNA  BE THE ONE TO KNOCK YOUR DADDY'S TWO FRONT TEETH, AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS, I'LL MAKE SURE THE TOOTH FAIRY PAYS YOU AND NOT DADDY. 

AND ONE MORE THING, I GOTTA GIVE BROOKE HANDS DOWN FOR BEING ABLE TO KEEP THE ENTIRE FAMILY GOING AND STABLE AS JAYSEN NEEDS MORE ATTENTION THAN ANYONE ELSE...  LOL!!!  

AND BEING THE ONLY WOMAN TO DRINK A HAWAI'I FINEST, "PRIMO BEER" IN GENERAL PUBLIC!!!

PLEASE DO KEEP IN TOUCH AND YOU ALL KNOW THAT YOU GOT OHANA WITH ME, KA'IWA AND OUR ENTIRE OHANA AS WELL.

NEW T-SHIRTS HAS ARRIVED!!!

ALOHA EVERYBODY!!!

MY NEW T-SHIRTS ARE IN!!!

THE THEME IS:

"TEAM AWWWRITE!!!"

I CREATED THIS SHIRT FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF "MOTIVATION" THAT I LIVE BY EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.  

EVER SINCE I STARTED "www.brandonwaipa.com", I WAS VERY MOVED BY THE POPULARITY OF MY PERSONAL BLOG WEBSITE WITH COUNTLESS EMAILS THAT I RECEIVE ON A WEEKLY BASIS FROM MANY PEOPLE WHOM I'VE NEVER MET OR KNOW OF AND OF COURSE FROM THE PEOPLE  THAT I DO KNOW.  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS REALLY SPECIAL IS THE FEED BACK THAT I GET FROM EVERYONE.  ONCE I DECIDED TO MAKE CHANGES IN MY LIFE, MY BLOG SLOWLY BEGAN TO BUILD A COOL REPUTATION.  AND I KNOW MANY OF YOU ARE INSPIRED BY MY DESIRE TO LIVE A BETTER, HEALTHIER, AND HAPPIER LIFESTYLE WITH MY DAUGHTER, KAHEALANI.  MY "WILL TO LIVE" JUST WENT OUT TOWARDS THE UNIVERSE AND I LEAVE IT IN GOD'S HANDS TO TAKE CARE OF UNTIL HE SAYS MY TIME IS UP.

THE FRONT OF THE SHIRT IS A TRIBAL HAMMERHEAD SHARK

THAT'S TAKEN FROM MY TATTOO THAT'S ON MY LEFT FOREARM.  THE HAMMERHEAD REPRESENTS ONE OF MY "AUMAKUA":

"ʻAumākua are intimate members of the human family, spiritual relationships with them are especially close and their presence is sought for feast and festivity, as well as in time of crisis. They act as healers and advisors, counteracting troubles and punishing faults."

SIMPLY PUT, MY DECEASED ANCESTORS PROTECTING AND LOOKING OUT FOR ME AND MY OHANA AS WE LIVE OUR DAILY LIVES.

  AND

ON THE BACK OF THE SHIRT IS THE WEBSITE ADDRESS!!!

AND THAT'S MY REASON FOR CREATING THIS NEW T-SHIRT.  I HOPE ALL OF YOU LIKE IT!!!

SNOW ARRIVES IN BETHEL, ALASKA - 10-12-11!!!

SNOW HAS FINALLY ARRIVED IN BETHEL, ALASKA.  I ONLY WISH FOR A WARM WINTER ONLY BECAUSE OF HIGH COST OF FUEL WHICH MEANS FOOD AND UTILITIES WILL GO UP TOO!!!

VIDEO CHAT WITH MY KAHEALANI!!!

THIS IS THE REAL REASON WHY I CHOSE TO MAKE DRASTIC CHANGES IN MY LIFE.  EVER SINCE KAHEALANI MOVED TO HAWAI'I, I'VE BATTLED HEALTH COMPLICATIONS:  (OVERWEIGHT, BORDERLINE DIABETES, SINUSES & ALLERGIES), SADNESS, LONELINESS, AND THE BIGGEST ONE FOR ME IS MY SLEEP APNEA.


I REFUSE TO LEAVE KAHEALANI ALONE WITHOUT A FATHER AND THAT SHE'LL ALWAYS LOOK UP TO AND REMEMBER THE PERSEVERANCE HER FATHER DISPLAYED LIVING HIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE!!!

LITTLE OVER YEAR NOW AND I'LL SAY THAT "I AM" WINNING THIS BATTLE AND I WILL END THIS FIGHT WITH KAHEALANI RAISING MY HAND IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE!!!

I LOVE MY X-BOX 360 KINECT USING THE VIDEO KINECT...  IT'S AWESOME!!!
