On Steve Jobs’ Death and Mr. & Mrs. Maciphone

Posted by Finally Woken On August - 31 - 2008

Somebody has hit the ’send’ button on his computer and the world was in shock.

On 27 August, financial news service Bloomberg was updating its obituary on Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple Inc., when someone hit the wrong button and the 17-page text of the obituary went out over the wire to Gawker.com.

Soulmate

Posted by Finally Woken On August - 29 - 2008

I have been searching for it. Deep down inside my mind, heart, and soul, I know what I’m looking for, but it would be impossible to explain it to the world. It’s my exclusive journey, that I and only myself could understand, that I must endure privately. Read the rest of this entry »

(Old) Men’s Preference?

Posted by Finally Woken On August - 28 - 2008

The weather has been glorious since I landed back here two weeks a go. This afternoon, for the first time, I only carried my trench coat - in case the temperature dropped, but it didn’t - and had my see through top and jeans. It felt like I was in a tropical country; it was warm, I even could feel my legs were sweating inside my jeans and I wondered whether I should have worn something lighter, or shorter.

Today was Thursday, shopping night, all shops are open until late (and by late I mean until 8.00 PM), so the town was buzzing. I had to walk very slowly after 45 minutes because my feet hurt like hell, so I stopped in front of Gap, resting my feet, pretending that I was admiring the purple top they display in store. Right after that an old man was walking toward me, he stopped suddenly, looked at me, smiled, and said, “Beautiful.”

I Don’t Understand…

Posted by Finally Woken On August - 27 - 2008

… that football is such a big deal in UK, even the prime minister must get involved in it.

You might have noticed that UK didn’t participate in football at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, because England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland compete in all other international competitions, including the World Cup and European Championships individually. There has been no British Olympic team since 1960, partly because of fears it could jeopardise individual sides.

Now a row has broken out whether Great Britain football team should be put together for London 2012 Olympics. Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said that he wants to see both men’s and women’s team playing in the country which invented football, but some people in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales think it could mean they will end up losing their national sides in other tournaments.

We’ll see how it goes. In the mean time, Scots are pleased because Glasgow will host the football.

Welcome to My New Home

Posted by Finally Woken On August - 22 - 2008

Hello!

Welcome to my new home. I have just moved in today, so pardon the mess.

Wait, you don’t see the difference?
Yes, I still use the same theme, the same lay-out, the same color scheme, buuuutt…. see the address? It’s changed! Yap, from now on you’re visiting me in my new home, http://finally-woken.com.

I know there are a lot of things to be done. Please be patience, it will take me a while to understand the concept of Wordpress - since I have moved from Blogspot - and rectify the blog’s contents.

If you have my previous Finally Woken blogspot blog in your blogroll, kindly please change the address to http://finally-woken.com.

In the mean time, please continue reading the stories as usual. And wait for more surprises. Enjoy!

Are You A Retrosexual?

Posted by Finally Woken On August - 20 - 2008

You, of course, have heard about metrosexual men. Since the Nineties, men have embraced their feminine side and spent an equal amount of time in the bathroom as their other-halves, putting some face cream or hair gel on, as well as scrutinizing fashion magazines to keep up with the latest trend. David Beckham, as you might have known, is the metrosexual man’s idol.

The Sun (Wed 20/8) said that a man is categorised as a metrosexual man if he:

Men Are From Mars

Posted by Finally Woken On August - 19 - 2008

Postscript 24/8/08: This thread has caused a stir a little bit. Even though I didn’t name names, those who circulate in the same crowd as me could easily guess who I was talking about. In order to maintain a peace in the real world, I decide to take this post down.

You can read it to a certain point but the important bits are deleted. Hope everybody understands.

Cheers

I‘m in love,” he said. “This girl is… something. She’s special.”
I nodded. Waited for more explanation.
“We had sex for 14 hours.”

Modest Indonesians?

Posted by Finally Woken On August - 10 - 2008

A lot of things happened since my last thread. Most of them are too taboo or too kinky to be revealed in this such public place so if you are still interested you might send me an email asking what had happened, and I might answer your questions. Perhaps you might find some answers in my Facebook account, though I can’t guarantee 100%…
