What is the difference between living and existing?

This is a good question! Existing means that you're just...there. I mean, you can exist and yet have nothing to live for. Existing is boring; life means nothing to you and you are alive just for the sake of being alive. Living is where it's at. Living is doing something with your life, having something or someone to believe in and having something to look forward to. Living is existing but doing something with your existence.

What leads people to greed and selfishness?

Money does! Whoever said, "Money makes the world go 'round" was probably a selfish person. Powerful people always do things for the sake of earning money, and that's pretty greedy. Why else would big companies put out bad products and make people false promises? They want our money, and they're going to lie and cheat until they get it.

What's one piece of advice I would give to the world?

Dear world,
Please stop stereotyping me. Just because I'm Asian, it doesn't mean I have to be smart or have to have monolids. Also, not all Filipinos have dark skin. I don't. Just letting you know.

Love, Bianca



And that's my advice to the world! I'm not bitter about anything, but I don't really like being confined to a label. It's fine when people bring something up relating to your culture or background just to make conversation, but not when they judge you based on predetermined assumptions. Stereotypes aren't nice. I like getting to know a person for a little while and understanding their own view of their culture and personality before making my own judgements. That's all!

Essays kill me slowly

AP World History is not that hard. I love my teacher, the homework can be overwhelming, but it's still manageable, and I get mostly A's. But essays...NO. I hate essays! The content is so broad and you have no idea what the prompt is going to be. Since I have WHAP fourth period, I slowly go insane throughout the day. I have an essay today. I'm getting chest pain.

TV characters I can relate to

I can relate to Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Please don't ask how I found out this show existed. Twilight Sparkle is pink with a purple mane. That's good enough for me.

What I would change about Frisco

I wouldn't really change anything about Frisco. It's pretty awesome the way it is. I mean, it's not like we're in Dallas where someone gets kidnapped every five seconds, or Plano where... well Plano is pretty cool too. Frisco is a really cute, suburban little city and I feel like everything you need is five minutes away. Plus, it's really clean.

The stuttering child

I can see how it can be a little frustrating for the professor to have to wait for the child to say his question, but asking the child not to speak in class is a little rude. I feel sorry for that child, because I imagine that stuttering would be extremely difficult to overcome. Poor kid! I hope that his classmates have his back like that one girl they interviewed at the end. The professor needs to get an attitude check ASAP, because he doesn't have a heart.

What is currently my biggest challenge in life?

Well, I am sick today. I got sick on Friday, and I was in bed the whole three-day weekend. The biggest challenge that I need to overcome is handling ALL THE HOMEWORK I get from AP World History, PAP English etc... I got sick because I've been doing all-nighters since the beginning of the year to get all my homework done. I need to stop doing that, apparently, because I'll never get anything done when I'm sick...

Write an encouraging message

Dear Kaitlin,

Have courage and don't be afraid to follow your heart! You are an awesome person and you should definitely go for your goals. You're going to have so much fun next Saturday, and the whole time you will be asking yourself, "why didn't I do this sooner?" GO DO IT, GIRLFRIEND.

LOVE, Bianca

Will world peace ever be possible?

World peace is possible, but in today's world, it would be difficult. If only Ghandi would come to life, then he could tell us a thing or two about non-violence! People think that violence is the answer to everything, and that's the reason for wars and murders. Hate is at the root of violence, and people hate because of differences. Come to think of it, everyone is different, and there will always be disagreements between people. It's all the psychos in this world that make world peace impossible! If we shipped out all the psychotic, violent people to another planet, then there would be peace on Earth.
