"Attitude is everything."
Names, dates and numbers fill my list of Top 3 Most Hated Things to Memorize. I'd endure memorizing terms and long definitions in my Linguistics and Biology classes, but I simply couldn't tolerate the effort of remembering the names of people I'd never bump into again.
But the need suddenly arises as I meet important people especially in the blogging community, and I feel terribly lost in a sea of faces and names I'd have to remember.

MindGym Philippines, a dynamic circle of professional educators offering Memory Advantage workshops answered my prayer as Mr. Albert Basa, MindGym coach, shared us tips in his two-hour interactive session last Thursday for the UP ACLE (Alternative Classroom Learning Experience) sponsored by UP SAPUL.
Themed "Education as the Biggest Loser", Mr. Basa pointed out that even though education may truly lose in the timeless campaign for higher allocation budgets, it still has the winning streak in continuously producing the best students and citizens of the world.
Mr. Basa, also a product of UP Diliman, taught us memory tips on effectively recalling very long lists of terms and memorizing numbers to help us "take a step higher" in our classes and achieve the "unfair advantage" of having good memory.

Even though memory is the lowest form of cognitive skill, Mr. Basa said nothing can be analyzed or interpreted (as it is, on the other hand, the highest form of cognitive skill) unless one has a good memory. The interactive session became more inspiring and alive as the MindGym coach led a number of games and taught us his "mantras" to effectively memorize our lessons.
MindGym Philippines offers the "nonformal nontraditional and lifelong learning" workshops for memory advantage, study skill and even graphic arts improvement.
