The Last Drop

I was a little fat back in high school. I inherited this from my mother who was also over weight. It was tough for both of us because dad finally left her, and me. I lived under her roof until I was nineteen; it meant I could finally break free, for a good reason.

But things did not turn out to as I had expected. Every one I knew about seemed to be slim and thin, look fabulous in their skinny jeans. I was wondering how they could do it, the jeans were so tiny, I mean. No one laughed at me but I knew behind my back there were some pretty awful things about me.

Life moved on quickly, I was quiet and shy, never ever wanted to be seen with these skinny girls who were made more beautiful and attractive by those ugg cardy boots. Before my birthday I wanted to buy a pair of boots, but I was afraid I might not be able to fit in, that was going to be another humiliation, I thought.

The desire of having a pair of boots was so strong that I actually left the dreadful feelings of being fat behind me. I went to a shopping mall and selected the boots patiently. The attendant came over to me and said, wow, your eyes were very beautiful and I would kill for your hair. I received some compliments about my eyes, my hair before but this time, I never felt better.

I tried them on and took them with me when I left. I figured beautiful things like clothes and shoes should not be punished because I did not have confidence or just because I thought I was ugly or fat. Being fat was just a small part of your life, you still had something others did not have, by something, and I meant your impeccable hair, your blue eyes, your inner beauty and your spirit of never letting yourself down.

I called my mother and had a good chat with her the other day. I said a lot of nice things including how much I thanked for her supporting when I failed, how a strong woman she was and how wonderful her cooking stills were to her in the Starbucks. I was reluctant to get back to school because until then did I have the enlightenment of mom was a beautiful lady in despise. We finished the last drop the coffee, then she whispered in my ears when we were about to kiss each other goodbye that you were pretty, you did not need anyone to remind you of UGG Boots UK.

The Sisterhood of the Boots

Val, one of my best friends, is expecting her 18th birthday party which would be held on the next Sunday. I know how meaningful it is to her UGG boots. People always say that when you are 18, you are stepping into the adult world. To Val and me, it is more than that. After this summer, we will leave for university, and settle into a new life. It is the first time that we get apart from each other since we become friends. So it would be a big day for both of us.

Theses days, I concentrate on my mind, thinking what the best gift I should give her. We have gone through the time of hardship and happiness together. We share the same interest .We have many things in common. We both like shopping and watching the movies.

The sisterhood of the traveling pants is our favorite one. The friendship among 4 girls in the movie is like ours. We are deeply moved. The girls share everything, secrets and happiness, just like us.

This movie gave me an inspiration. A good idea came into my mind yesterday morning. Maybe I can buy something that can both be used by Val and me .Like the movie, the 4 girls wear one pant in turns. The pant keeps them together. I think Val may be very happy to receive such a gift.

It’s not hard for me to decide which to buy. Val and I both like UGG boots. If I buy a pair of UGG classic cardy boots, she must like it. So I went to the UGG online shop, and chose the one I ever saw in the fashion magazine. I can imagine when we go to university, we wear UGG boots by turns, and write down what happens around the boots, then send the writings to each other, oh, how happy we will are.

Look, here is the UGG boots I just received this afternoon. It is nice and cute, isn’t it?

Though Val and I will be apart for a period of time, but I have faith that the magic of the boots will bring us together all the time.
