Imagining

The concept of alternate universe tickles me. It’s a concept about infinite possibilities, based on every little choice we make. Where do I learn this concept that there’s a parallel world other than this one? One, I watched Fringe like a maniac. This is the best tv series for me, science fiction, drama, romance, and freakiness. Two, I read M.G.Harris’ books, The Joshua Files Series. And there’s this film that I watched by, for example Stargate SG-1, Stargate Universe, The Adjustment Bureau, and many others.

Anyway, by thinking about the ‘what if’, I’d very much like to imagine what I’m like in other universe. For now, the biggest decision I’ve made in my life is by choosing two different college to go to. So, in my mind I’ll have at LEAST two different alternate persona.

First persona.

I chose Unpar as my college. Only Unpar. So I’m a Computer Science major, graduated on time (4 years), and by now I’ve working in some place at Jakarta. This version of me will be bitter, and fill with jealousy whenever I meet a person from ITB. Why? Because if I chose Unpar, I couldn’t go to ITB.

This version of me will have a nice job, but unfortunately a little less knowledge than the real me, because I graduated on time, and couldn’t find all that time to learn things. But this version of me will success in 5 more year. She’ll become a rich person and will get married (I think) to some geeks from Informatics too.

Our baby will be like, ‘geek-is-your-destiny’ baby. We’ll name them Javanica (maybe) because our love for programming language. This child will be tease like crazy at school. And electricity is everything in our house. Maybe we’d have like three or four backup generator, to make sure that electricity never goes out. Our house will be this big suburb house, with garden, and private security system.

It could be a fun universe.

Second persona.

I chose ITB as my college. Only ITB. So I’m  a Mathematics major, graduated a lil bit late, take or give 4 and a half years. Because I think that maths is the queen of science, I’ll go somewhere and learn something that quite unique, maybe like ‘fractal system’ or something. Still a nerd in this version. Never a popular girl.

After I got my master degree, I’ll work on bank maybe, or a private company. So this version of me has a nice job, but still a lil bit less knowledge than the real me. Why? Because this version never know how life is in Unpar. This version will be wondering if she got into Computer Science.

Anywho, maybe this version will go out and meet someone. Technically, the ‘someone’ could be from anywhere. Take or give a businessman, or a banker. Or maybe an old fling (as if). We’ll have a child, or children. Because technically the husband will be more likely to work more, this version of me will be a stay-at-home-mum.

The name of the child, let’s see. Fractal maybe? Or Triangula, let just say this version of me will name the baby with ‘mathematic’ kinda name. Let’s see. Fractal will be a genius child, a prodigy.

This version of me kinda fun too.

Two personas and I kinda like both of them.

The real me.

I’ve just graduated from CompSci. Another six months to complete my ITB education. What next? I wonder. What next is an infinite possibilities. I could go anywhere. I could do anything. I could be anything. This future for me seem kinda brighter, and I like this one the most.

So, sorry my other personas. Sorry Fractal and Javanica, but I prefer this life. And I’m not sorry that this is the kind of universe I am in. I’m not sorry that I’m this version of me. I’m just grateful.

Then you ask, what about your love life? I’ll just say, the Prince Charming is still on his way to meet me *twink*. Afterall, I’m such a hopeless romantic.

Anywho, thanks for reading this story. I still would very much like to meet my two other personas, and I’d very much looovveee to meet Fractal and Javanica. Lol.
