Theater actor - director, musical director and composer William Elvin shall launch his debut CD album --- DisConTechNoThisContent: The Musicalienation of William Elvin on August 29. ( A soft-launch was held last July 2 at Taumbayan, Q.C. )

In 2005, William decided to stop writing songs and playing music. His friends in the UST band/rock scene were being signed by major record labels. EMI Philippines was starting to position Hale to be one of the biggest rock acts of the 2000s. Sony BMG followed suit with the signing of Callalily. The two bands spearheaded the 'pogi-rock' movement (a term used with both marketing and derogatory intentions, as William remembers it) in mainstream Pinoy pop in the mid-2000s.

A few months later, rock bands were ruling the airwaves while WilIiam and his band The Barpins, was stuck playing in the now-defunct 'Mayric's', a small rock and roll bar along Espana, Manila. Frustrated, he promised to himself not to go back to that scene, and pursue a different artistic medium. That decision led William to the Theatre Arts program in the University of the Philippines.

My Life is a Social Media Reality Show

Wazzup Pilipinas!

How many times have you seen yourself taking a shot of that almost perfect and seemingly happiest moment in your life? That is understandable. We want to keep the memories and immortalize it in pictures so that it will last our lifetime.

With the latest advancement in technology, it is now also possible to share the moment with our friends and acquaintances. We can now share to the whole world our success, our accomplishment, our celebration, our new car, our new home, our first born.....and everything else we think that would highlight our life as exponentially at the top! One click from our camera-equipped phone, a link to a wi-fi connection, and its now on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or any, if not all, of the several social media networks.

But how many times have you been tempted to look and crave for equally significant shots so that you could post them on your social media accounts as your status update for the day, or maybe for the hour, at that very moment after seeing your friends' own status updates?

Hey, I see a friend is on a flight to Malaysia to see the Petronas Towers, I see another one dining in one of the new restaurants in BGC, and there's another one playing with a new iPad mini, ...Oh, look! their surfing the waves of Siargao Island! Damn! My friend is doing all kinds of selfies with her new Jaguar!
