let me start my blog!

Blog! Blog! Blog!

Ano ba ang magandang unang ipost mo sa blog mo?

Likes? Dislikes? Define love? Friendship o kahit ano na lang na pumasok sa kukote? Tapos bigla ako napasip, bakit hindi ko na lang i-define yung title ng blog ko.

Bakit nga ba, memoy’s mnemonics?

Para sa inyong kaalaman, hindi po memoy ang aking tunay na pangalan. Nagkataon lang na sa isang forum na aking sinalihan (www.symbianize.com), memoy na ang naging bansag sakin ng mga co-Symbianizers ko. [siguro nahihirapan sila bigkasin ang NmEmoniC (misspelled mnemonic) kung baga]

Kaya naman ginalugad ko ang world wide web at kinaibigan kong muli si Webster para itanong kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng mnemonic at ito ang sagot nila.


mne
• mo • nic (ni-mon'ik), adj. [<Gr. mnēmōn, mindfull], of or helping the memory.
mne • mon'ics, n.pl. [construed as sing.], the science or art of improving the memory.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Mnemonic (disambiguation).

Not to be confused with pneumonic.

A mnemonic device (pronounced "neh-mon-ik") is a memory aid. Commonly met mnemonics are often verbal; something such as a very short poem or a special word used to help a person remember something, particularly lists, but may be visual, kinesthetic or auditory. Mnemonics rely on associations between easy-to-remember constructs which can be related back to the data that is to be remembered. This is based on the principle that the human mind much more easily remembers spatial, personal, surprising, sexual or humorous or otherwise meaningful information than arbitrary sequences.

The word mnemonic is derived from the Ancient Greek word μνημονικός mnemonikos ("of memory") and is related to Mnemosyne ("remembrance"), the name of the goddess of memory in Greek mythology. Both of these words refer back to μνημα mnema ("remembrance"). Mnemonics in antiquity were most often considered in the context of what is today known as the Art of Memory.

The major assumption in antiquity was that there are two sorts of memory: the "natural" memory and the "artificial" memory. The former is inborn, and is the one that everyone uses every day. The artificial memory is one that is trained through learning and practicing a variety of mnemonic techniques. The latter can be used to perform feats of memory that are quite extraordinary, impossible to carry out using the natural memory alone.

Astig diba? Bukod sa naging title siya ng pelikula ni Keanu Reeves [Johnny Mnemonic] na hindi ko pa napapanood dahil wala ako mahanap na ganung dvd, na-amaze ako na may kinalaman pala siya sa isipan at alaala. Galing no?

Kaya memoy’s mnemonics ang naisip kong title ay sa kadahilanang gusto ko na lahat ng aking ilalathala ditto sa aking blog ay maging makabuluhan at tumatak sa isip ng aking mambabasa. (kung may babasa nga talaga nito. Lol.)
