Blogs
Strange, myself
I don't consider myself as a girl who likes to write a blog, though I had written many here. But if you see my QQ zone, you will see none originals, and I don't have a Chinese blog and even had gone from RenRen website.
As for me, I prefer to hide my feelings from others, so I seldom write it in my QQ zone nor speak it out to others, for I do not want anyone to see my fagile side, so I always think it is no necessary for me to keep a blog space.
But one day, when I took an interview, the interviewer asked me about a website that I browsed most often. I answered immediately,"it is the Dioenglish." Then he asked me why, I told him that I like to write things here, to read blogs here, to make friends here. "Then you must like writing blogs, do you have a Chinese one?" I was surprised that time, and paused for a moment, then answered no. He was surprised too, "How come?" Yeah, how come? "Sorry, I myself don't know either, I just know that if I wanna write something or show something to others, the first way I thought is how to express it in English, I am now tending to think in English ways". I saw him frowned at my words. Incredible, isn't it? When I came back that night, I suddenly thought that maybe I should write Chinese blogs too. But when I began to write, I can not find proper words to describe my feelings, while I found later that English will be easier.....
I feel speechless for myself, I am a Chinese, how could I express myself in beautiful Chinese words? So strange....Is it because I used English too often, or it is just because I haven't learned Chinese well? I don't know...

- Though I have a Chinese blog, I haven't visited for a long time. And like you, everytime I want to write sth down, I will prefer in English than Chinese. The reason, I guess, is that both of us don't want to reveal our vulnerability. English is not the language we use in daily life and it can function as a wall between us and the people we know. Few of our friends will read blogs in English, won't they? Another reason, I guess, is that we have already been used to it after having lived here fore so many months.

- I prefer writing in chinese, because I feel it is difficult to express the subtle feelings in English, however, I kept my chinese blog under minimum attention. I am really impressed by your Englsih blog here.

I can see that your english is also good, I believe you will be able to express yourself freely in english someday, if you pracrice writing.
