Sexy Nomad is People’s Choice

December 8, 2006

By garnering the highest number of SMS and online votes in her category, Jen Juan, more popularly known in the blogosphere as The Sexy Nomad, took home the People's Choice Blog trophy in last night's Philippine Web Awards. I was sitting with The Sexy Nomad at the 3rd level balcony of the Carlos P. Romulo auditorium in RCBC Plaza in Makati when they announced her as the winner. It was obvious by the stunned look on her face that it caught her completely off guard. She hurriedly handed me her stuff and quite literally ran down several flights of stairs to get her award. Smiling from ear to ear and now only just a little bit flusterred, she thanked everyone who voted for her and gave a special mention to her husband who she says, "inspired her to blog."

All smiles as she accepts her trophy

"Thank you for voting for me!"

Sexy Nomad in Webby Semis

October 26, 2006

Sexy Nomad, aka Jen Juan, has made it through to the Semifinal round of the 9th annual Philippine Web Awards. Jen's blog is an account of her adventures and travels, near and far.

Of the 10 semifinalists in the Best Blog category, Jen is a relative newcomer — she only started blogging 6
months ago.

Her blog is also the only one which didn't need any html or special coding. Jen says this speaks volumes about i.ph's quick and simple customizability.

"I admit, I'm not as tech savvy as most people…yet!  But i.ph has made it easy for me. I love how I can focus on sharing my thoughts and experiences, since it just takes a few clicks to get my blog to look the way I want."

She adds, "I never expected to make it this far but it would be really awesome if I actually win."
