See you soon …

(to girls and boys) 
I am sure each and everyone of you has been „struck“ by this beautiful and overwhelming feeling at least once in your lives. Beautiful and overwhelming?! Yeah, sure!
It usually takes you by surprise, hits you right in the face and leaves you there helpless and lost.
I would not consider myself the jealous type of girl. See, I’ve got this great set of principles I am trying to stay true to. A man who does not appreciate everything I have to offer – looks, brains and especially my willingness to devote myself completely to the man I love – is DEFINITELY not worth the effort.
Still, I have recently found myself torn between feelings of love and fear, sadness and anger! I never thought I would doubt my man’s love! I never thought I would see our connection be in danger. Romantic and stupid at the same time.
After some days of thinking and doubting, I have finally found a way to deal with those feelings – mainly because I am sick of wrapping my mind around my man thinking about other women! Here it is!
Flirting is OK if your lovers think they need it. If they do not know how special you are and if they like wasting their energy for some meaningless and trashy fling – then you should let them go for it!
You are worth way more than that!
Don’t let anybody EVER tell you anything else!
I was wondering whether you have ever considered inventing an “Apple Family of the Year” Award
I am asking because my family – being my hubby-to-be, our unborn baby (due at the beginning of September) and me – would perfectly qualify for it.
Inspired by your Stanford commencement address in 2005, I would like to tell you our very personal “Apple” Story.
When my fiancé and I got together in March 2006, he already had one of your great 60GB iPods. Being a big fan of yours, he thought I should join the club and gave me an iPod nano as a birthday gift in May. This is how our story began.
It didn’t take long and I got my next gift – one of those awesome Nike + iPod Sport Kits and a Nike Sport Armband. And off I ran! Believe me, I have been the star in every gym and on every path or road I have been running on since then. My computer is already filled with lots of running profiles, reaching from 2006 up to 2008.
In 2007, my fiancé and I went to New York for 10 days to take our love for Apple products to the next level.
The shiny and at the same time awesome-looking Apple glass cube on Fifth Avenue had to be our first shopping destination, of course. My fiancé got all excited walking down the stairs, thrilled by its size and design. We had sworn ourselves to just “have a look”. After all, it was our first day in New York.
Well, this is what ACTUALLY happened. After strolling around in the store for about an hour, admiring all the computers, iPods, iPhones and other devices and gadgets, we both ended up buying a Mac – a silver MacBook Pro for my fiancé who is in programming and system development and a black MacBook for me to look all fancy and up-to-date at work and at university where I am currently doing my Ph.D.
Since we live in Austria, we couldn’t just stop there. So we bought two sets of adapters, different programs and a black MacBook case. One of our most life-changing purchases was the Apple TV Box. No more DVDs piled up on our shelves! As soon as we got home from the States we started copying our movies, saving them on our external hard-disks (we’ve had to buy 4 new ones since then 
) and watching our movies via Apple TV.
If you checked our iTunes account you would probably find us under “Craziest People Spending Loads of Money on iTunes”. We are more-than-regular customers when it comes to music, movies as well as TV shows.
Christmas 2007 I was surprised one more time. I got the much longed for iPhone. People were all going “Ah” and “Oh” seeing me with it. When they asked me where I had gotten it from I just said: Santa Claus. Soon after that my fiancé got himself one, too.
In February this year, my beloved fiancé turned 30! I felt this strong urge and wish to give him something special … something to remember. So I bought him a 23″ Apple Cinema Display. You should have seen his face!
We even documented the whole unpacking and setting up process with pictures. He has never loved sitting at the computer and working more. A dark brown – orange Crumpler case especially made for MacBook Pro’s was just a little extra.
Going with the display, we have got a German keyboard as well – you know, because of all those weird letters German-speaking people use. In the course of the last few months my fiancé thought we had to have the Time Capsule as well. I have to say – it has made working a lot more fun and way safer!!! (I am a specialist when it comes to accidentally deleting top important files )
Now that the iPhone 3G is out, we are already thinking about getting that one too.
What I am trying to say is that we admire your and your team’s work. We are delighted by your innovative and elegant inventions and impressed by the enormous number of great ideas you have come up with in the past years.
You should know that there is a little family out there (South of Austria, to be precise ) fascinated by you as a person and businessman as well as by your outstanding and great products.
We wish you all the best!
B + S + a little Apple fan-to-be
PS. Maybe you could give that “Apple Family of the Year” Award some thought?!
PPS. I hope our email did not go directly into your spam filter.
Picture this: you are sitting in your office not daring to look outside because the weather is just too bad. You are minding your own business, working on the computer when all of a sudden the door is opened and a lady steps in with a beautiful bouquet or red roses.
They are for you …
From your boyfriend, husband, the love of your life.
What’s your first thought?
Are you just happy smiling from one ear to the other dreaming about that guy who has once again enchanted and surprised you ooooor do you think he has done something wrong, like cheating on you, and wants to make up for it?
Well, honey, the latter definitely makes you a freak (except for those girls, of course, who have seriously experienced something like that already).
The first one makes you a person who still believes in love, romance and surprises!!! Have a happy and cheerful day, girls!
Loving is one of the hardest things to do. You cannot love half-hearted or only a little. If you really love you have to love unconditionally. That, however, means that you completely trust somebody other than yourself. It means that you learn to accept things you usually have a hard time dealing with. Loving is a risky business. It’s not a deal you can close and be happy about at the end of the day. It’s lifelong work, instead. And you never know whether you will win or lose in the end. So, why fall in love in the first place?
Because all the beauty this world has to offer lies in it …
I am sure you will agree when I say that being dumped totally sucks! There you are all in love with the “perfect” guy, fantasizing about a fantastic future together, dreaming of passion and endless love, and then BAM! He tells you he is seeing somebody else.
All of a sudden life doesn’t make sense any more. Now it is definitely time to wonder whether it was your fault. You position yourself in front of the mirror, thinking it might have been those 3 pounds you’ve put on lately. Of course, you also have to admit that you have been a little too needy and clingy. Oh, and that dress you were wearing the other night … unacceptable.
I could go on with this list forever. Coz, let’s face it! That’s something women usually do: We think we are the reason men don’t want us.
I feel incredibly honored to be able to solve one of the greatest mysteries of “woman”kind today: It is nobody’s fault! If a relationship (of any kind) doesn’t work out, it doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you, girls! It just means that two people who thought they might work out don’t. Trust me girls, it’s a good thing to find that out sooner or later. Why waste your precious time on some guy who doesn’t really qualify to be the ONE!
My advice: Get yourself some tan, dress up nicely and walk through life as if nothing and nobody could ever hurt you or mess with your smile. Never forget: It’s not other people responsible for you being happy, it’s YOU! Love will come your way, even if it takes a little while sometimes! (trust me on this one! I am speaking from experience here )
Oh, and if you wake up and feel absolutely devastated because nothing seems to work out, just put on some real good music and DANCE it out!
