Tarpaulin
exhibit at Kasalang Filipino
October 9,
2007, Tuesday
The Mouse House Internet Cafe reaffirmed its leadership
in terms of tarpaulin printing services in local
weddings as it participated anew in the ninth leg of
Kasalang Filipino 2007, the biggest wedding expo in
North Luzon at the newly constructed CSI Staadia,
Dagupan City on October 6 and 7, 2007.
An expo where the majority of exhibitors were mostly
photography studios, hotels, restaurants and couturiers,
the Mouse House's booth, fully equipped with its latest
state-of-the-art large format printer, easily became a
favorite since a good number of its co-exhibitors found
convenience in their printing requirements found
momentarily under the same roof.
The two-day expo was just a part of an 11-city roadshow
which included Tagaytay, Legaspi, Dumaguete, Iloilo,
Tarlac, San Pablo, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Cebu and
Manila. Its objective was to promote the local wedding
and tourism industry.

Body
painting caps "The Art of 10"
February 19,
2007, Monday
"The Art of 10: A Mouse House
Anniversary" celebration ended with 7 gorgeous
body painting models ramping down half-closed Burgos
Extension Street in all their beautifully painted
"skins" (literally, that is) on the night of
February 17, 2007.
Guests, sponsors, friends, supporters and spectators who
sometimes have to fight for available viewing space
because of a jam-packed street party area were
nevertheless rewarded when the Ginebra San
Miguel-sponsored event showcased superb artistry of
local artists done on human canvass.
Providing the artwork are members of the Dagupan
Artists' Circle headed by its president Patrick Bacolor
including two members who were awardees of the just
concluded Art Association of the Philippines 2006
competition, Jojit Solano and Bonifcio de Guzman.
The body painting activity thus became the 4th and last
of a series of art shows which became the anniversary's
theme. Other activities of the art show were: an art
exhibit (starting February 8) featuring the visual arts,
sculptors, mix media and installation art of the DAC and
Mouse House in-house artists, a street painting
exhibition (February 13) along Burgos Extension and a
poetry reading session (February 15).
Also highlighting the night were live performances by
three manila bands, namely "Sensitive
Theory", "Sleek"
and "Hardy Amies" all provided
by Music Warehouse.
Ronald Prado of TV Patrol and Cyril Amazona of Northern
Catch both from ABSCBN and Jun Pardo of IFM 104.7 were
media partners who covered the 10 day event.
