Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

ernest is your regular junior college boy studying in meridian JC.
nothing really unusual about him, just a normal kid who leads a simple life.
he lives down at simei and sometimes, after school, he would take the mrt down to the train station and amek his way home from there.
on days when his bike was parked there, he would cycle home.
other days he would just take a nice stroll under train track. usually he'd be listening to music as he walked home in the shade. he loved the gentle breeze (well, when there was one at least...) and also the scenery along the way; the big field especially and the constant flow of water in the drain.
usually he makes his way home alone.
but that has changed now.
you see, not too long ago, john moved into the neighborhood.
john's kinda new around there, but everybody's been awefully nice, and he's feeling right at home.
he's probably gonna be sticking around for quite a while. that's wonderful.
ernest has really come to enjoy john's company.
they don't really have a lot in common, but that's ok.
ernest likes john simply for who he is.
sometimes he feels like he's been waiting for him for his entire life.
well, now the wait's finally over.
it looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
