I Review: July 2010

One of the chinese ointment I tried is Katinko. It is a green menthol formulated ointment that is said to be a good relief for a person who is experiencing muscle pain, toothache, headache and even stomachache. Yes, I tried to used this pain relieverIt was recommended to me by a colleague.

This menthol formulated ointment brings a quick relief however it will just be temporary. It does not cure muscle pains constantly. This chinese ointment can only give a pacifying effect to any external pains of the body but not to cure. I can testify to that, because I still did take some medication one time I suffered from muscle pains.

It isn't also pleasing to my sense of smell. Moreover, it also can bring a burning sensation when you accidentally spread it near your eyes or your nostrils. Here is an advice, just apply a small amount of this ointment to avoid the burning effect.

Katinko is a cheap brand of chinese ointment available in all leading pharmacies here in the Philippines. Although the product is quite effective, just to reiterate, don't expect that your muscle pains can be cured permanently. Well for a non-costly brand of ointment, it is expected that you will get less benefit. What do you think?

Another food delight in the Philippines is Pilipit or twisted bread, it is very hard to grind but it is the essence why you should try this one. The crunchier the better. It is a sweet bread, and sometimes can be a good partner for breakfast or snack time. This is actually very rare to see in a regular store but gladly one time I was able to buy one in a mini grocery near my place, the twisted bread has a brand name, it is Marky's.

The taste of Marky's is quite good, the real taste of the Pilipit is there, yummy and sweet. Let me tell you how I enjoyed eating its twisted breads. I bought a choco sundae at a fast food chain and slightly dunk the twisted bread. It's a little bit odd, but doing it will make your eating of Pilipit more enticing to your appetite. I am just glad that despite of the high demand for imported goods in the Philippines, there are still companies that continuously supporting filipino products. Like this Pilipit by Marky's. And another good thing is, the price is really cheap and everybody who loves Pilipit will surely can afford to buy the brand.

Eat Marky's Pilipit when your stomach is grumbling , it will be enough to stop your starving quite a bit. Bring it in your backpack whenever you have an out of town, Pilipit is a good treat while traveling for long hours. Eat Pilipit even in ordinary days like strolling inside the mall, taking a test in school, while surfing the internet etc. Mind you, Marky's Pilipit will be your quick remedy for hunger. I highly recommend it.
