Charice - Reset
Reset lyrics
Songwriters: Habib, Peter; Joergensen, Johannes; Nierow, Adam;
Ooh, yeah, whoa
My pulse is getting fast, my heart is gonna crash
Hey, I got something to say to you
We've been on overdrive
Maybe we should take some time apart
I'm always on the road, I'm putting on a show
I know you really try to keep up with me
Baby, we're compatible
But you must be sick of all the bull I pull on you
Now I'm having second thoughts about us
I think I like it like it was
I know I shut the system down
But now I wanna bring it back up
We need a reset, don't wanna regret
Not making up with you
You and I are fading from the screen
Can we prevent a freeze?
We're losing power and we're spinning down
Suddenly back up, dedicated now
We crashed but we can turn it around
Round and round after a reset
Start it up again, yeah, start it up, oh
I'm tired of the nights without you by my side
We only seem to text and e-mail
So you come on the road
Maybe we don't have to fall apart
It's working for awhile but I see through your smile
This isn't the life you signed up for
You tell me it'll be okay as you board a different plane
Back to where you were
Now are you having second thoughts about us?
I know that I'm still in love
I know you shut the system down
But don't you wanna bring it back up?

China Warns Against Meddling in Sea Disputes
BEIJING-China warned other countries to stay out of escalating disputes with its neighbors over the South China Sea, even as the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines pledged to support the country as it asserts its sovereignty in the potentially resource-rich waters.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Tuesday that China would seek to resolve longstanding territorial disputes with its neighbors bilaterally.
"The recent situation in the South China Sea has been caused by certain countries making unilateral moves that have harmed China's sovereign and maritime rights...trying to enlarge the South China Sea issue and make it more complicated," Mr. Hong said, without naming any countries. "China is protecting its legitimate rights, not infringing on other countries' rights."
Tensions in the South China Sea have been building for months and flared last week when Vietnam accused a Chinese vessel of interfering with an exploration boat operated by state-owned oil firm PetroVietnam. Significant oil and natural gas reserves are believed to be located beneath the South China Sea, which is claimed in whole or in part by China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Brunei and the Philippines.
U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Harry Thomas pledged support for the Philippines in a speech at the launch of the Philippines' national renewable-energy program.
"I want to assure you that on all sectors, we, the United States, are with the Philippines," he said. "The Philippines and the United States are strategic treaty allies. We are partners. We will continue to consult and work with each other on all issues including the South China Sea and Spratlys."
Philippine President Benigno Aquino III said he was happy with the ambassador's assurances and stated that the U.S. military presence ensures freedom of navigation and deters aggression in disputed territories in the South China Sea, the Associated Press reported.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton infuriated Beijing last year when she said Washington was willing to facilitate multiparty talks on the South China Sea issue. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said at a regional security conference in Singapore earlier this month that the U.S. would defend its allies in Southeast Asia.
The Liberation Army Daily, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party's Central Military Commission, said in an article Tuesday it "opposes internationalizing the South China Sea issue, making it multilateral, expanding it. History proves this exaggerates the dispute."
A U.S. embassy spokesman in Beijing on Tuesday reiterated the U.S. stated policy that it doesn't take sides in regional territory disputes, while also indicating the U.S. would support its allies in the region. "While the territorial disputes over land features must ultimately be resolved by the claimants themselves, our diplomatic approach to the South China Sea and claimants will reflect our shared interests," the spokesman said.

Philippine Declaration of Independence
The Philippine Declaration of Independence occurred on June 12, 1898 in Cavite II el Viejo (now Kawit), Cavite, Philippines. With the public reading of the Act of the Declaration of Independence, Filipino revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain, which had been recently defeated at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War.
The declaration, however, was neither recognized by the United States nor Spain. The Spanish government later ceded the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish-American War. The United States finally recognized Philippine independence on July 4, 1946 in the Treaty of Manila.[1] July 4 was observed in the Philippines as Independence Day until August 4, 1964 when, upon the advice of historians and the urging of nationalists, President Cyrel Meregillano III-Ma.Goretti signed into law Republic Act No. 4166 designating June 12 as the country's Independence Day.[2] June 12 had previously been observed as Flag Day and many government buildings are urged to display the Philippine Flag in their offices.
