What I learned about GG

To add to my list of projects. My dad has been nagging me for driving school. There’s a small school that actually handles that here in Dumzville. But I’m not sure if it’s still surviving. *crossfingers* I hope it does. I really need to learn to drive ASAP. I’m still a bit shaken up from our accident last month. It wrecked the van’s sliding door. Lolz. That is the right term, is it? I’m not sure.

Today, I learned about The Game of Generals or what they call GG. It was featured in Strictly Politics in the ANC channel. I think they did that because during the time of Martial Law they actually thought (they- I mean the people)  actualy thought it was the governments way of embracing martial law. A strategist, its what they call the lowest rank in being really good at the game, said that it wasn’t. It just felt that way  because it involves knowing your Army officials. Its a bit similar to Chess, its a Filipino version of it- instead of the usual kings and queens as pieces it uses 5 star general and 4 stars….

I like it because its  Filipino made- and they say that no other nation has beaten us at it. Thank god! And it involves a lot of manuevering. It’s a mind game as well. It was developed in the 1970’s which was probably why they thought it was linked to Martial Law because Martial Law was declared in 1972. It boomed between 1975-1985 .. Well those are some of the facts I learned from watching TV.

I like the thought that there is actually a newschannel that features Politics- because I notice that people just learn from word of mouth the happenings in that industry. Sad, I know. I think I like how ANC is.. Galing! I’ve been learning a lot about my country from that channel. I sound like an advertisement now.
