Introduction SOMOS CINCO

HELLO! Man this is exciting for me. Somos Cinco, we usually go to spanish clubs and when we all go out together and they ask "cuanta son?" we reply "somos cinco".

So let me start off by introducing myself and this blog. For the protection of my privacy my name is Savinu. I have created this blog because, well... everyone seems to be doing it and sometimes I have stories to tell as well. This blog isn't just about me though, if you see- somewhere in here it says SOMOS CINCO (translation, we are five). I have two sisters and two friends (keep reading to get to know a little more about those) who will also be using this blog. I have actually never personally been much of a fan of sex and the city but I recently saw the movie and LOVED it- because it reminds me of me and the other four nuts. We are all in different stages of our TWENTIES, but somehow all act the same age.

I will start with myself. I am 24 years old, recently graduated with my BA in CRJ. Almost two years ago I experienced my first heart ache- and let me tell you, it's like nothing I have ever experienced before. I don't drink, and for the two months following that break up I can say I almost became an alcoholic. It got to the point where my parents started showing concern, I couldn't watch romance movies, or go to events that celebrated love such as bridal showers and what not. I was bitter about people in love, I hated them on the low for being able to still be in love because all I wanted was that relationship back- and I can't even really tell you why because towards the end it went sour. Well shortly after, while I was still healing I met this boy at a lounge. I was dancing to Michael Jackson and he was all up in my personal space (later to find out he was standing that close on purpose)... and I elbowed him by mistake (yes, I was getting crazy with my MJ moves). We started dating, he was everything every other man I dated wasn't; genuine, naive in some ways but it was cute, there was this innocence to him that I swear you will have a hard time finding. He was the most supportive helping me get over my break up- along with some THERAPY (yeap, it took me there). Three months into dating the man popped the question (maybe I'll blog about that later)- I was unsure at the moment but something in me knew this man was it. We went through our very hard times which I will keep private (most of it) out of respect to my relationship to him and respect to him as well, but we are back on track and due to wed in less then a year (I will be blogging about that as well lol). He is a full time law school student and has a full time job- and a puppy we need to get rid of because that seems to be stressing him out more then the latter. I am a little worried (or a lot worried)- but that might be another blog in itself.

I have an older sister named PANG - she is 26 and herself went through a break up of her boyfriend of seven years. Her and I have had our differences in the past, she is definitely the more reserved one of the three. She has always been the more respectful to our parents (koodus to her on that) and always been more private. She is hard working- always busy, sometimes I don't know how she does it...

WELL- after this break up she has needed to get a lot of shit out of her system, 7 years worth of it- and guess who has been right there to enjoy this, ME! I love it, I have a partner in crime to go dancing with any day of the flipping week, she is always down. We have also become hicks in the last year, we don't want to know about anything other than spanish clubs. (You don't understand how I love me some perico ripiao- SE ME MUERE REBECCA! WOOOOOOO OOOOOO! I'm dancing just singing it in my head- it's a problem). She has also become a little more interesting since the break up- she is a lot more about herself (who shouldn't be every once in a while? I am like that almost all the time... ME ME ME). We joked around the other day that she is having a problem dealing with talking to more then one man at once- and I told her I was the opposite, I was having more trouble adjusting to just having my fiance around. She works in fashion- her designer and co worker have given me my wedding dress which in the beginning I liked but wasn't in love with it- it's very simple and now I have dreams about it and can't wait to rock that dress like its nobodies business... yes I will be adding some swagger to it, ME!

Then goes my younger sister- I will call her whatever name she decides to give herself a little later on. She is like me in so many ways - or what I was like at that age. She is a college student (junior)- has been to Australia to study abroad and is going to Ireland next semester, I guess that is something all my sisters and I have in common, we love to travel even if it is at the expense of being broke. She is 20 years old, has trouble focusing on one guy for too long (sound familiar?). She recently dated this guy who in the beginning blew us out the water, and as we got to know him realized he was not the one for her- we will let her blog about that when she is ready. She's got an attitude on her like every other teenager has had but she has always had a good head on her shoulders, and when she is uncertain she calls us before acting... which is a good way to handle things- THINK BEFORE YOU ACT! Sometimes she has surprised me with the advice she throws back, I guess college will do that to you? I can't believe my little sister is old enough to be my good ADULT friend (sometimes, we are still sisters after all lol- i kid, i kid).

Then goes SON- my 24 yr old cousin. She graduated with her BA in Psychology and Communications, and has been my true road dog since her parents left her in my house one summer while they went to DR when we were 14. Ten years of this silly-ness, her and I have done some of the STUPIDEST things (none involving drugs, just to clear the curiosity). She works as a lead admin for a temp agency, and is rockin' the cradle! Yes, her man is younger then she is. I didn't like him too much in the beginning, the way they started out was dishonest and he just didn't rub me the right way. This is why you should give people the benefit of the doubt because now I think he is a cool dude. When they are together they look happy and as long as he makes her happy then I am happy (do I sound like a mom?). Her parents and siblings live in PA- I love visiting them in the summer time- ef it, even in the winter, they are a fun bunch lol.

Then goes the oldest of the bunch, Sassy Daisy is 27 years old. I found this one through a child hood friend, they went to school together. We all used to hang out and then the one got pregnant and dropped out- Sassy Daisy is now FRAMILY- she is my moms adopted daughter everywhere we go. She comes to the sleep overs, family barbeque's, and all that good stuff. She has a son, which I give her a high five for raising alone- he is one good kid. She can write many many blogs about her struggles to be where she is now. She also has her BS in Financial something (??), yes we are an educated bunch- now we have to aim for the higher education, MASTERS and PHD's! She makes me laugh, she gets so pissed and when she does she talks extremely fast and her Dominican accent comes out - sounds like a less annoying Rosie Perez. She is single, and lately has turned into a punk on the dating scene (yes Sassy Daisy, I SAID IT). We go out a lot and lately we've been having to pep talk her into batting those eyelashes lol. She has a big problem trusting men, and with her history I don't blame her.

These are my friends, my inner circle, my family. My friends are what hold me together- when one of us gets dumped WITHOUT hesitation go out for a round of drinks and some male bashing, I don't usually drink but for these occasions I will drink one with them, so please- drink one with me...
