Remembering 1872...

Cowards... All of them. Damn those fiars. Using fellow countrymen to send GOMBURZA to their deaths... How low can they get?! Why drag the innocent into this? Most especially those who've done great works and only contributed to the betterment and improvement for both Filipinos and Spaniards alike. These friars don't want a future with Filipinos in them. They could very much eradicate the best of us and leave behind the voiceless and helpless ones to do their bidding. Fear... that's it. They fear us because we've reached a level that even they can no longer keep up with. They deserve to die in the very same way they put our dear fathers to death. We could do worse and we should let them know that! Death by hanging? Firing squad? Those friars lack creativity! I say we burn them alive then throw them into shark infested seas! Let's see what they think about that!... But no, that will not bring our beloved friends and family members back. It will only throw away what GOMBURZA have worked so hard on... And I am sure that is not what they would have wanted. There are always to sides to a coin. Just like us there are also innocent people amongst the Spaniards. In fact there are different people on the other side like the Jesuits. At least they have not become so greedy and power hungry that they would refuse to challenge our ideals head on and equally.

There's only one way to deal with this! I have to study! I have to work my ass off and save the country! But not through violence... I now realize it but I have had the mightiest weapon of all in the grasp of my hand and at the point of my fingers. Yes folks, you've guessed it! It is the pen (fountain version)! With it I will be invincible and from the paper to the hearts and minds of the people, the ideals that GOMBURZA and the rest of the fighting Filipinos out there (including me of course) shall be immortalized! No more bloodshed! I should know by now better than anyone that killing aggravates only more killing. Besides the Spaniards do not fear our military prowess or our fighting capabilities. They wish to get rid of us because we can best them at what they assumingly do best and that is our capability to learn and use that knowledge to our advantage. Even without weapons, I'll show the friars that the Filipinos are no ass-kissers! They'll be kissing our asses when I'm through with them (getting all pumped up!)! I'll master so many languages until they don't understand a word i'm saying!... (let me try that again...) I'll master so many languages that their tongues can only dream of achieving (better )! I'll prove their ideas ineffective not only because they are but... but (???)...but also because they suck! Heck, I'll probably even write a book on how much they suck and how much more we rock! (panting)

(sigh) Anyway... I better go buy more ink. I'm probably gonna need some more... a whole lot more... Paper too... I wonder if they're on sale today...
