Botox! an anti-aging innovation || would you like to try when wrinkles come?

Image
Botox! would you like to try when wrinkles come? In a field of medical innovations, especially anti-aging innovations I choose Botox or Botulinum Toxin is the best innovation in the world. Have you ever though that when you get older and/or wrinkles comes how do you feel. Today I would like to present Botox.  What is Botox?  Botox is  a protein that stops muscle spasms. A doctor will inject it directly into your muscles. A spasm is when your muscle moves on its own. It feels like twitching. For me When botox is injected into muscles it feel like I freeze muscles under a first layor of skins that mean I can stop wrinkles. Let's think about when you get older or winkles come before ealier. What will you do? Somebody let wrinkles come due to it's a human nature. Somebody would like to do someting for maintenance which help them increasing a confidant. It's no wrong if you would like to do it, but you need to accept a truth of body's aging and let the nature o...

language - Yue HUANG

Image
 Language is the thing that completely separates humans from animals. With the help of this tool, people exchange information and collide. But also to remember, to think. It is in every field of human society, every corner, from the beginning to the end for human use. Different languages explain different cultures. It is because of language that we can learn and communicate together. We can express our emotional feelings through words. So I think the language is the greatest invention in the world.

Air conditioner - Himari Kosugi

Image
 I think the air conditioners are the world's best invention.  The fans can only produce cold air.  The heaters can only produce warm air.  However, the air conditioners can produce both cold and warm air!  Moreover, it can make an entire room cool or heat more quickly than a heater or a fan.  Therefore, I think that the air conditioner is one of the best inventions in the world.

Airplanes, Sarah Gresch

I think Airplanes are the best thing they ever had invented. You can get so fast from one Point to the other and it only takes a couple of hours. The Airplane is not the best Invention for the Earth, but for the People who live on the Earth it is the best way to go somewhere else fast. 

The lip tint - Hikari Shimizu

Image
     I use various kinds of lip tints every day, as my lip is so pale and not beautiful when I do not apply anything. I cannot live without lip tint, so I chose the lip tint for the world’s best invention.      Almost all Japanese people have used masks because of COVID-19, and women have struggled with smudging their makeup. The mask is hot and stuffy, so the color of the lipstick we applied often changes or comes off. Also, it is very annoying for us to redo our lips.       In these situations, the lip tint is extremely useful and convenient for us. The “tint” of lip tint means “dye” in English, and it has strong durability for moisture and rubbing. Therefore, people can maintain their lip’s color for longer than lipsticks or lip glosses, and they do not have to put on lip color over again even if they eat or drink something. In addition, it has very colorful and beautiful colors.      Hence, the lip tint is helpful and ...

 I think the laptop is one of the best inventions. Most of our work and play happens on our laptops. It facilitates our life and work, and brings us fun. However, we need to be careful not to indulge too much in it.

Timing Tools - Haisu Wang

Image
  Timing tools are the most valuable invention because, without them, we would not have an accurate understanding of time.     In the primitive era, people observed the sun's light and shadow to create basic timing tools, such as sundials and water clocks. These simple timing tools were easy to make and met the needs of people's agricultural lifestyles. They allowed people to understand the changing seasons, plan their farming activities accordingly, and predict tides for fishing.     On top of it, the industrial revolution witnessed the development of mechanical clocks and watches, which significantly improved accuracy and were also widely used in industrial production. Moreover, through these tools, accurate time became a critical variable in the formula for labour productivity, allowing capitalists to exploit our labour more efficiently. :P Finally, timing tools are no longer limited to their functional purpose but are also involved in fashion industries and ...

Transportation - Toey Chanisara

Image
  Transportation Back in the past the transportation that took us to another place or to the destination is horse. As you see now a day many logo brands is horse for example Mustang, Porsche, Ferrari and etc . The horse is the most popular symbol use in car company. Symbol of strength agility and speed. Currently In my opinion the best world invention is car. Now we do not have to torture animal for example horse any more. World have develop car for long time already. Start from car using oil and currently there are electricity car. Electricity car are good for environment. In Thailand now are trending of electricity because electric car does not emit pollution that harms nature. 

The Camera - Sakura Iyama

Image
       The best invention in the world in my opinion is the camera.      The camera is credited with the invention of the pinhole camera by Ibn al-Haytham in the 11th century. He precisely analyzed a phenomenon called the camera obscura. It is an effect in which light shining through a small hole projects an image on the opposite side.      Next, in 1685, Johann Zahn designed the first portable camera. Johann Zahn proposed a small device with a mirror reflection mechanism, a design that would later be used to make photographic cameras.      Since 1816, French inventor Joseph Nicephore Niepce experimented with methods to improve the image quality of the camera obscura. Only in 1825 did he press the shutter of the first photograph using a sliding wooden box camera.      In 1975, Steven Sasson invents the first portable digital camera.Steven Sasson developed a self-contained digital camera while working for Eas...

Everyone should rollerskate - Gazala

Image
  Gazala Almouli They key to roller skating.  is that everyone should roller skate.   Happiness doesn’t always come it’s a tough long journey.   It Is something that you feel from within you. Meaning it is within you to do what you love the most. What does it mean to be happy? I think it is, primarily, a state of mind, it means to have harmony with yourself and the people around. Personally, I consider my pets, books, dancing, friends and family my happiness but mostly roller skating brings me back to life. I started roller skating about 3 years ago and l fell in love l can’t see myself not roller skating it helps me wind down after along day of hard work, it also helps me stay fit and move around l think everyone should have something they enjoy doing the most after a hard day .

Sleep well - Himari Kosugi

    Lack of sleep isn't restful for our body.  If we don't rest a lot, our tiredness will increase and we will get more and more tired.  Moreover, it is not good for our mental health too.  If we are not mentally well, we can't be happier.  Therefore, we should sleep well!!!!!

Take a short trip with friends - Yue HUANG

Image
Traveling is a pleasure and a friend is someone who makes you happy.So a short trip with friends always makes me double happy. I went to the zoo with my friends in February. It was a short but unforgettable trip for me. The animals were lovely and I had a good time with my friends. We enjoy the beautiful scenery, enjoy the delicious food, chat casually and laugh freely every time. The relaxed and happy atmosphere allows me to escape from the stressful life for a while. That's why traveling with friends is the happiest time for me.

Fishing makes me happy -LEIL

To be honest, I have almost never fishing in China.  After coming to Dunedin, I started to like fishing. Dunedin is near the sea and there are many suitable fishing spots nearby. I like to go fishing in Port Chalmers on weekends with my friends. I think fishing helps me to release stress, exercise my willpower, and we will have fish to eat.

When you feel stressed, what would you do? Crying? Singing songs? Phoning a friend or sleeping? No. The best way is eating delicious foods! Scientists said that people can release their stress and feel pure happiness by eating tasty foods. If you want to be happy, you can eat any kind of delicious foods, such as steak, sushi, and chocolates. However, you also must be careful about your health!

Talk with friends - Sakura Iyama

Image
       Talking with friends makes me feel relieved. However in New Zealand, there are few friends, therefore I’m really into talking with my friends on the phone. Due to the time differences between Japan and New Zealand, it is difficult to do that, however its difficulty makes me think that I should value my time.        For example, the time to communicate with family and friends that I used to talk to before coming here is precious time and without that, I would not be able to be happy.  Therefore, in my opinion, making phone calls is not only difficult but also makes me feel happy.

Cook & Talk - Toey Chanisara

"Tip for being happy" Tip for being happy for me is to have a socialize with friends and family. For example I always do with my friends in New Zealand are every weekend we will cook dinner together and while we cook and eat we exchange what we have done that week. And we always make sure that no one stress of anything. If anyone have problem we will all help and give some advice. Also if any one want to share any thing they can. Here is a tip from me while cooking or eating is the best moment to talk and share. After we have a conversation we all be happy. Don't forget to be open minded.😍

Exercise as a habit - Haisu Wang

Image
 Science has shown us that getting some exercise can release endorphins —— a chemical generated by the body that reduces pain and gives us a sense of happiness. Accordingly, find a couple of activities you will enjoy most rather than challenging ones, and be flexible with the exercise routine. If you choose a physically demanding exercise at the beginning, you may quickly feel frustrated, contrary to the purpose of being happy. Remember, exercise as a habit can start as something small, but you will be benefited while consisting of it. It improves your physical health and, more importantly, can boost your mood.

Market Day Debrief – Riri Matsushima

Image
  I went to a Market Day. The weather was good, so I was pleasant. There were many shops of clothes, beautiful accessories and an interesting game corner. One of thing I impressed was there are many clothes, I guessed there were second-hand clothes. I thought it was good for sustainable environment. Although I didn't buy anything unfortunately, I enjoyed watching a lot of products. These are so cute, colorful and creative. I have seen similar events in Japan but these were not so popular for younger people. today I saw that many people apparently enjoyed, which was one of deference between Japanese and Kiwi I guess. I enjoyed so much and it was a good event!

Market Day Debrief-Satomi Moriguchi

 Today I went to Market  for the first time in NZ. It was a little like the Japanese ones, but more vibrant in NZ. My best thing of this event was Jewelry stalls, because it was interesting to see all the games that I had never seen before in Japan. Also I felt shopkeepers were friendlier than in Japan, so I learned most of NZ people are easy to get on with!! I enjoyed looking around the stalls and playing a few games. On this weekend I plan to go Saturday morning market, I know it's a little different than this , but I'm looking forward  to going more!

    I went to OUSA Market Day today.  The best thing about this event for me was accessory shops.  There are some shops there and all of the products were really attractive!  I didn’t buy anything, but I should have bought something:’(. Also, I felt that the atmosphere there was a very cheerful and joyful.  It was very good because there aren’t many student-led events like this at my university in Japan.  The event was enjoyable for both students exhibiting and as guests.

I went to OUSA Market Day today. The best thing about this event for me was definitely cheerful atmosphere. There were many people who visited this market, so it was fun to me to look at all the stores. I think kiwi involve school activity proactively because there were many handmade booths, and charity things. I didn’t buy anything from stores, but this event was absolutely good one! 

Market Day Debrief - Matsushita Sachiko

 There are so many cute jewelries at the market, but i didn’t buy anything.  I tried a game which i throw a ball to the whole.  I couldn’t do that, but i got a coke.  I found an interesting thing in each of shop.  That is the way of paying.  When people pay, they showed their smartphone to clerks.  Each shop has a number of their bank and customer pay online.  I have never seen that way, so that was interesting.

Market Day Debrief - Sakura Iyama

          The market day event was very interesting for me. It is because there were many kinds of shops. I think the best part of this market was the clothes shop. Particularly, the second hand shop. I found Harley Davidson t-shirts, I wondered if I should buy the t-shirt. However, I realized that this is impulse buying. I did not want to waste my money, therefore, I gave up on buying the t-shirt.      Then, I found an accessory store. There were many pieces that tempted me to buy, but I also did not want to waste my money, therefore I did not buy them.       Next, I found the interesting clothes shop, there was a cap which was written “てのひらあ”, which means that “Palmah”, it can make Japanese laugh.      In conclusion, it was a good opportunity to endure impulse buying. Many New Zealanders are kind, and Otago University students' culture is fascinating to me. There is no market day in Japan. I want to share ...

     The weather was perfect for walking around the campus and going to OUSA Market. It was a wonderful time and I felt perfect happiness because all of the students looked like they were enjoying their shopping and talking with friends or shop assistants.      It has been about three weeks since I came here and I've seen a lot of 3R(Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) products in many places. And today, I saw a lot of secondhand clothes stalls which are related to 3R. If we buy these clothes, we can stop throwing them away and reuse them. It means that we can contribute to keep the environment clean. I think it is a great idea and I suppose it is one kind of New Zealand culture. I have never experienced participating in these events, also there are no such events in my university. I think it will be nice if there are some places where we can experience something like this in Japan.

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.

Market Day Debrief-Yuki Takeyama

 Today, I went to the market. I saw some accessories and stickers. I like stickers because I like to put sticker on my phone case. I saw a lot of stickers in the market but I couldn't find my favorite one. In my university in Japan, we don't have a market like this so I'm glad I was able to experience this.  

Market Day Debrief - Emi Kawamori

I went to the market and I saw many shops. In that market, some of them were selling accessories and others were selling second hand cloths. I thought that there are many second hand cloths shops in Dunedin so market also has many that kinds of shops. And almost all accessories are hand made and they were so cute. I don’t go to the market very much in Japan so it was good experience for me.
