One of the trending topics on twitter and also spreading fast in other social media sites is Manila Encounters which makes the readers more curious and interested.

On the past few days, while I was reading their posts, they gave me chills. One of those was the tweet from Lisa Lorraine Andaya. The post said that she saw her kid playing with someone she doesn't see. A tear fell down from her eyes because of what she heard from her child,"Da-da." Her dada died years ago when she was still inside her mother's womb. He's one of the fallen SAF 44.

Another one was from eurydyce, it was
her graduation day so she woke up early and turned to her father's room and said "Pa, you have to get up and get dressed! your future doctor is going to graduate today!" then her mother hugged her tightly saying "Nak, let your dad go to heaven, he died 2 years ago." And for me this shows us that family will always be there to watch over us but sometimes we need to let
them go for them to rest in peace.

"Not everyone who's knocking on the door is human." A tweet from BlueCherrie_9. That really gave me goosebumps! And also made me
nervous opening the door late at night or early in the morning.

Another one was from Tiara Liz. She said it happened in early 2000. It was
midnight, his father and his friends got really drunk so they went into a very crowded and loud bar. Suddenly when they're feeling better, they found out that all this time they are in the Ozone
Disco which burnt down years ago.

This post was about revenge to his wife. This tweet was from an unknown user. It says,"He had a tragic fight with his wife and accidentally killed her. He waited till their son slept and carried away her wife's corpse at his back towards the alley near the park and disposed her off. He was afraid that his son would ask where his mom was but he didn't utter a word. Then one night after having dinner, his son was staring
at him. He hesitantly asked him, "Son, is there something you wanna say? Or ask?" Finally his son spoke with a strange face "Ahm daddy why
are always carrying mommy at your back everyday?" And that just tells us that people who died can still take revenge to us, on to those who hurt them. Its not easy to have a fight with
your loved ones. Especially killing them, throwing them away, not knowing they are hurting inside.

A tweet from @HanchiF talks about a student who commited suicide after their teacher failed him in Research.

This post was about a father and a daughter. It was your JS Prom, and you were just sitting because no one will take you to the dance floor and dance. But you're shock because your father came wearing a white tuxedo and invited you to dance with him. While you were dancing with your father, people are staring and laughing at you. After the JS Prom you already went home but your father didn't come with you because he has something to do. You got home wearing a smile, "He dance with you didn't he?" Your mother ask. Then you remember your father who died 2 years ago, and he fulfilled his promise.

Another one was from @itsMePheme, the post said " Students are killing each other to get the highest honor.
Because education nowadays is not about learning already. Its about passing. And that made me cry. For us students, we don't want to disappoint our family, so we tend to imitate students that are better than us so we could be just like them. But that is not right. We are all different people. Nobody can be another person.

Manila Encounters talks about different stories, and every story has different lessons. We should
learn the lesson in every story which we can use in our everyday lives.
