I just wake up now vs I had just wake up

The correct phrase is "I just woke up now." The use of the past simple tense "woke" is appropriate in this context to indicate that the action of waking up has already happened. The phrase "I had just woken up" is also correct, but it implies a past perfect tense, which may not be necessary in this context.
