RECTO- Every yuppies memory lane

Every one know where C.M. Recto is, anyone that have gone to college, looking for a job, seeking for some cheap goods like CDs, cellphones, ROTC paraphernalias, books or magazines. It is very close to almost all Major university in Manila, or all those going to Intramuros or Divisoria, coming from Quezon City or Nothern part of Metropolis. They will all be passing that familiar Isetan RecTo, or that familiar Bonifacio Monument at Divisoria Mall or even the Legarda cor Mendiola Recto intersection. From the rich kids of La Salle to the sons of the simple "mangagawa" of PUP. Recto have always been a familiar place. With all the necessities of college life for academe and extra curiculars are availabe in a cheap prize. It also offer a humble tambayan for people (students) who wanted to spend their breaks or to avoid unwanted subjects or just plain play hookey.

I love walking in recto, other than seeing those pretty COEds from different universities, it offer me a someshort of memorabilia to all the times that i walk the same familiar street, especially when its raining and the freaking road is packed with jeepneys and other vehicle. Those time that im looking for cheap text book for our argument and debate subject and biology class. and entering the now famous "Bill's Gate" computer rental where most of my classmate addicted to chatting tend to spend their time and money.

I never realize that after four years in college, and three years at work, i will still end up walking in the same street, in my effort to go back home... and still greet me the next day in my way to work.
