Redesigning Braces
Braces are the things a dentist put in your mouth to correct many deformities and misalignments in your teeth.  They are painful at times and can become a hassle because food usually gets stuck between them.
I myself wear braces and I can tell you that my gums have bleed a lot since then because of the loos wirings and the shape of the brace itself which had some hooks..
My proposal is to redesign these accursed things and make it more round. Kind of like in the 80’s box type cars were the “in thing” and then in the 90s the more aerodynamic  cars came and the box-types were suddenly old.
In my proposed braces, they should be curved  so that when it hits the skin the skin would be safe.
A more ergonomic braces would be enclosed and food stuck between teeth would be minimized because there shouldn’t be hooks protruding or any loose wires that sink into the gums.
This is safer because a common thing that happens in people with braces is they have infection in wounds in the gums. This is dangerous to our health because we ingest the secretions of the infected wound and this circulates inside our body.
This would entail costs to cure like oral antiseptics and antibiotics.
Ergonomic braces would be a prevention rather than a cure for such problems which to me is better and is about time. 4

NU12 #1 Molina, JP - Sentrep - birthday greetings on Pizzas

Birthday Greetings on Pizzas


One day at the office, my colleague had a birthday. This coworker of mine didn't really have a lot of budget to treat the whole office to some snacks so the plan was to treat only her close friends.
Now one of my other colleagues ordered pizza for the celebrant since he saw that there were only few variety of snacks. Now it is customary for celebrants to at least have a cake and blow candles but this particular officemate of mine didn't have any cake.
So when the pizza arrived I thought to myself that there should be a way to put greetings on pizzas!
Birthday Cakes for me are a bit overrated these days. The celebrant actually doesn't eat them all and specialty cakes are astronomically expensive now. And it's all for the sake of sending a greeting that you could also say it yourself but thought it would be better if you write it on a cake.
So I wondered what if pizza could be used as a substitute to greet someone since I believe us yuppies would prefer Pizza over Cakes because the former can make you full while the latter would just give you stomach ache if you eat too many. And besides that, cakes are full of sugar that is why diabetics are guarded in eating them.
While pizza is a more complete food. It has bell pepper, onions, salami, pineapple, cheese, tomato, olives, ham, bacon, in some cases there also parsley. Hence, it would have protein, calcium, vit A, B, C, fiber, etc. It is also not deep fried so the oil is only minimal.
 Pizza restaurants should recognize the fact that people buy pizzas when they celebrate something. And I think they can help hype the celebration when they put greetings on pizzas.
But how to put greetings is one question. I was thinking of putting it on the edges (crust) and by using cream cheese, they can write the greetings neatly. Another possible way is by using bell peppers as letterings for the pizza. 4
