Bizarre Virtual Attack
I have encountered a bizarre moment this week. Suddenly someone I barely know cowardly sent a private message to friends of mine, saying how embarrassed she would be if she doesn’t work and yet keep spending her husband’s money. A friend alerted me and pointed the fact I posted a good news a mere minutes [...]
Dry Spell
It is not like me. I am usually able to publish two-three articles in a week. In good days, even almost everyday. My blog, which has started since March 2005, and is over 3 years old, is a standing proof about how consistent I have been. But not now. I have been occupied with lots [...]
The Sex Bloggers And Being Anonymous
Sometimes I am so gullible and oblivious. I thought every blogger is just like me, who writes about IT, or making money online, or writes about their daft, boring daily activities, or about cooking, or kids, or fashion. Or politics. I didn’t realise there are bloggers who write about sex. That until last night I [...]
Chick-Lit Overload
Here’s a question. Why do most of the chick-lit novels have their main characters working either as an author, a journalist, or as an editor in book publishing industry? Remember Candace Bushnell’s Carrie Bradshaw (a columnist), or Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones (an editor) or Sophie Kinsella’s Becky Bloomwood (a journalist), and of course, Lauren Weisberger’s [...]
On Anonymous Bloggers (2)
There was a big hoo-ha a while a go when Fatih raised an old issue about anonymous blogging. He particularly dislikes those who blog anonymously on sensitive issues, like politics or religions, and suspect that they have hidden agendas. Fatih’s post generated ripostes and comments from expats in Indonesia. Unspun, stands firmly behind Fatih, showed [...]
On Anonymous Bloggers
Since last week I have been following closely the intense debate among expats in Indonesia about anonymous blogger, an issue raised by Fatih when he awarded Rob Baiton as the blogger of the week and praised Rob as one of the few Western bloggers who reveals his own true identity. Fatih actually has written a [...]
2007 Roundup: It's A Wrap
2007 will leave us shortly. And there are several things I would like to say to all readers who have visited my blog, read my postings, left comments and been involved in the discussions. Since 18 October 2007, after moving from my original Finally Woken in Friendster to Blogger, my new Finally Woken blog has [...]
Copycat
I have found out lately that this person – let’s say the name is Copycat – whom I know through a friend, has been following my virtual steps. Although to be honest, I think that this person has been doing this waaay before I have entered blogospehere. It started with small things. It’s not difficult [...]
Nothing But The Truth
When I started my blog a year ago, my intention was to start writing again – regularly – because this is what I have done many years ago, actively. Somehow I stopped doing it (for leisure, because I wrote probably almost zillions of pages for my master’s degree assignments). Just like when I stopped playing [...]
