but I don't try to selectively remember.

The process of memory is quite interesting. The neurons measure weighted chemical responses against a combination of geneticly fixed features and completly programable pathways. There is a spot in the brain which brings it all together so that when all of the little factoids align ther is a "Eureka" moment. Many, probably most, people have conditioned their brains to respond to this as instant of understanding as a spiritual event and not an intellectual one. Without the Eureka reenforcement memories do not interconnect as well in a gestalt.
