Well, let me be honest with you, my dear readers. After all, this is a blog; an online journal for everybody. So why should I deprive you of those juicy little happenings in my life?
I wouldn't call this one juicy, but it is interesting. Better than those poems our teacher wants us to make.
First off.
Word: Voyeur
Meaning:
1. somebody who watches for sexual pleasure: somebody who is sexually excited by looking, especially secretly, at other people’s naked bodies or the sexual acts in which they participate.
2. persistent observer of misery or scandal: somebody who is fascinated with, or persistently observes, distressing, sordid, or scandalous topics or events.
I know it sounds bad. In fact, I understand if you would start reacting- saying stuff like, "What kind of girl is she?" "She's a voyeur?" "@%^*!"
But let me start on my case.
Despite the meaning of this word, it basically is just another term for the words 'Pervert', 'Peeping tom', and, spoken in Filipino, 'Maniac' (ma-niyak). So why is it vulgar? A lot of students say those synonyms, after all. Why don't they get sent to the Principal?
That's not the only reason. The word wasn't simply written as that. It went with the sentence, "Watch out, voyeurs!" What's the harm? And what the hell did those teachers think when they read that?
Or, most probably, after reading the meaning of the said word, they didn't bother deciphering what I meant with the WHOLE sentence.
Stupidity in its most obvious times.
I wasn't meaning that I am a voyeur- but I bet that's what they thought.
Sigh.
The sentence is simply implying that those who are considered as voyeurs to watch out. I'm against the kind, see, and I'd commit suicide if I'm ever thought of as one.
Ew. I do not take pleasure in scandalous things.
I just hope that people would be smart enough to realize this.
