                 Driving towards Innovation: Rebuilding the World for Tomorrow

              

         As the Modern Era arises, a lot of innovations are formed to make our lives better, more convenient and more productive. Through creative inventions of the great inventors, we started to turn the wheels toward discovering things and getting through heaps and humps along the way. People nowadays wanted to spend their time in travelling around the world and most of us dream to explore the world as much as possible. Fortunately, in 4000 BC to 3000 BC, human beings learned to use animals for transportation.

Until, John Loudon McAdam developed the first modern highway during the Industrial Revolution. The different modes of transportation were invented. Those inventions served as key for improving life styles and a way to travel from one place to another. In late centuries, before the highway and other form of transportation were invented, humans travelled by foot. Imagine the dilemma of walking from New York City to Los Angeles. Well, it's not easy to walk with such distance. The invention of transportation is a big help for us in exploring things around us. It helps us in our daily lives such as in work, study, home, and places we wanted to visit. Even though, these tools have differ in forms, colors, sizes, or class, these are all important in our lives. In 18th to 19th century, many types of transportation systems such as boats, trains, airplanes, and automobiles were produced. Some companies and great inventors produced several types of automobile. They introduced different styles such as two doors, small, large, sporty, and luxury cars. As for aircrafts, the Wright Brothers were able to develop the first aircraft in 19th century. Through those early inventions, we still have the opportunity to discover things and improve the inventions toward modernization.

            

Filipinos are also fond of innovating things that will make lives better. Some of Filipinos' great inventions are salt lamp, body-heat powdered flashlights, and air cleaning devices. In terms of transportation, jeepney is the most common form of land transportation in the country. The Filipinos were able to innovate and convert it into a modern type which is called "E-jeepney". It runs on pure electricity supplied by a rechargeable automotive battery, thus in its operation fuel is no longer needed. Moreover, Filipinos have been the reflection of creativity whereas a filipino named Atoy Llave innovated a kind of land vehicle which is the tricycle. We also have the "Salamander Amphibious" which is a form of water transportation. Also, the most recent Filipino invention was an aircraft called "Light Sport Aircraft".
Nonetheless, we have the same kind of transportation with other countries such as planes, helicopters, bus, trains and so on.

                  
         As the years pass by, the world become more open for technology and more vehicles were produced. In fact, we’ve enjoyed the benefits of transportation in today's generation. But, every coin has two sides. Transport modes emit smoke that increases the risk of pollution. It causes bad effects to our health and ecosystem. On the contrary, we can invent an eco-friendly vehicle that do not produce harmful emissions. We could use other materials that are not dangerous to our world. Our inventions and innovations must also be contemporaneously high-tech with the world's development. Finally, as the youth of this generation, let us save and rebuild the world for a better future.

       By the turn of the 9th century, nails were tinted with scented red oils, and polished or buffed with a chamois cloth, rather than simply polished. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, people pursued a polished rather than painted look by massaging tinted powders and creams into their nails, then buffing them shiny. After the creation of automobile paint, Cutex produced the first modern nail polish in 1917. Synthetic nail polish was introduced in the 1920s in Paris.

             Cosplay is short for “costume play”. Cosplay involves wearing a costume that is exactly like that of a character from manga, anime, or video games, making your hair and make-up as the character’s appearance as possible. Cosplayer is the term used for those people who love and portray the character. It is the responsibility of cosplayers in creating their own hair stles, make-ups, costumes and the props in portraying a character. Cosplay is growing in popularity especially among young people all over the world. Because, teenagers are more exposed in todays generation where anime characters are more popular and more important for them than the characters in books where there are many lessons and discoveries are found.

             Cosplay fashion may be considered a blurring of the distinction between fiction and reality. It is believed that it was originated in the SF and comic conventions that take place in America and Europe. But, in todays generation cosplay is more popular in Japan than other countries simply because daily life in Japan was filled with manga, anime, video games and other works upon which cosplay can be based. Also, they have a comic market in their country where most of the young people are devoted of that kind of life.

    You can see cosplayers wearing realistic costumes and wigs and posing in front of cameras performing as the characters they are dressed up and cooperating with other cosplayers to faithfully re-create scenes from the fictitious works that feature their characters. They say that there are many different ways to enjoy cosplay like:

             1. You enjoy the way you create costumes

       2. You enhance your creative skills in arts
               3.     You will meet other cosplayers and other

       But, the key point is to get as close as possible to truly becoming the character that you are dress up. Cosplay fashion is a way of expressing arts through creativity and through cosplay you will enhance your language and diction. Because, when you are a cosplayer you are not only wearing creative costumes but you will introduce yourself by a creative speech, correct diction and language as the character you portray. Cosplay is a performance art in which participants called cosplayer wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Cosplay costumes vary greatly and can range from simple themed clothing to highly detailed costumes. It is generally considered different from halloween  costume wear, as the intention is to replicate a specific character, rather than to reflect the culture and symbolism of a holiday event.

Welcome to the world of cosplay fashion!
