Justine For Kids organized a charity marathon on 23 June. For more details, please refer to Justine for kids website: www:justineforkids.be 

In the news using google translation:

Mom for two short months of a little girl healthy, Justine Henin is more sensitive to the cause of sick children.

Retired tennis level since January 2011, mother of a little Lalie since March 20, Justine Henin discovered every day a little more "real life." Without nostalgia about his career and the desire to do good around her, in her home first, and more widely to benefit less fortunate children.


"I feel very fulfilled, very happy. Having your first child is a unique experience. I saw an extraordinary period, obviously far from what I experienced before, notes the former champion about her role as mother. Okay, it's also sometimes sport, especially at night, but what fun! In fact, I quickly said yes, Benedict (note: Bertuzzo her companion) is thought to expand later the family. But first we want to enjoy the presence of Lalie. This motherhood has changed my outlook on life and my career.I'm lucid without really realizing, being 100% concentrated on tennis, I lived in a microscopic world. And very egocentric.Lalie expanded my horizon. "

Her pregnancy and the arrival of her little girl also helped her to realize her desires over her association "Justine For Kids", which helps sick children in Belgium.

"I remember doing activities with children in pain while I was pregnant, full of uncertainty or concern. Some smiles despite adversity have upset me and reassured: Of course, I wanted with all my heart a healthy baby, but these kids showed me that there could be happiness despite illness or disability. This has strengthened me in my desire to put my fame to such children through the association and its various activities (see below). I want to mobilize as many people, this is my way of make it worthwhile. After years at the center of a team is devoted to me, it was my turn to take care of others. I know this is the crisis that demands are growing, but the needs are there and children centers and hospitals referred deserve to be life a little easier and more enjoyable. "

Videos of Justine!!!

And a 4 minutes video here:

Justine "hiding" behind the JFK stand
The enlarged version
Definitely saw the change in Justine, shes looking more feminine, I get the feel of it
This is so cute! Peek-a-boo!
I love how brightly Justine smiles! So good to see you again Justine!
Looking at Justine's serious look, you can tell how committed she is for her projects in JFK
I wondered if Justine's gonna keep this hairstyle forever...I wish she has the same hairstyle when she went to Beijing to present the awards.
Justine looked a bit pale and tired...maybe still adjusting to the lifestyle of a newborn's mum. But her smile is as radiant as ever! Really a motherly look haha! Mama Ju!

JUSTINE HENIN JUNIOR CUP

Allez! Here's what Justine Henin Academy posted on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JustineHeninAcademy?fref=ts
"Justine Henin Tennis Academy is proud to announce that she'll host for the first time an ITF Junior Event from 6 July to 13 July."
You may wish to look at the event created: https://www.facebook.com/events/125747237625559/
or here:
Click on the image to go to the website and see the details

So the event is set from the 1st two weeks of July, ppl, mark that on your calendar and support this event! You get the chance to visit Justine's club while enjoying the young talents competing with each other. 

Will there be a WTA event held in her club next time? One step at a time eh? Anyway, I'm happy to see the activeness of her club and any positive results of her players as announced on the facebook. At least it's making good progress! 

Oh, I wondered how's Justine's doing now? Good with her life but pretty busy caring and nursing little cute Lalie, I suppose! Don't know why, but the more I look at Lalie's photo-the only one Justine shared on her facebook page, the more I think Lalie is a "photocopy" of Benoit, even the hairstyle is the same! So actually it's little Benoit rather than little Juju but still she's a cute and beautiful little girl! Looking at how sweet she's sleeping in her mama's arms ^o^

Well, I tend to think that usually boy looks like mum and girl looks like dad..so let's see if next time Justine will have another baby and if it's a boy, will he look like Justine? Must be handsome in any case! Hahaha!

Gonna go to sleep now, good night world!

Hero-Justine Henin (video by suhu san)

I've been watching some past videos of Justine and I came across this video made by our Japanese friend who's also a fan of Justine, suhu san, as I would address her. She had also made quite a number of Justine's videos, including the "Happy Birthday, Queen" video.

Check this one out! HERO-JUSTINE HENIN
Ah~ I'm loving this song by Mariah Carey! And loving this video too, with the ending showing that beautiful artistic backhand of Justine! Hmmm, yummy!

Just had a dream of meeting the sweet couple-> Justine and Benoit last night, sorry to bother you Justine cos you looked annoyed by my presence, lol! Ju probably got tired and don't like to appear in my dreams haha! But nevertheless, you were still nice and polite to me, and my dream fulfilled in my dream to have a photo with you and of course, Benoit helped to take the photo! Haha thanks and that's a sweet dream for me although it wasn't real :)

Oh and pls put on some weight, you look skinny even in my dreams! Now I've got to go back to work!

"An annoyed look of Justine"
But still being polite and nice ^o^

Randomness...What If? Feelings of idolizing

I have sometimes wondered, what if, one day, I no longer feel as obsessed in Justine as before? What if, let's just simply say, I no longer love Justine anymore, how will it be?

To others, life goes on as usual, but for me, there's some differences. Ok, I'm gonna selfishly push the blame to Juju, for "taking" most of my other sources of entertainment away. Ever since I've got the "Justine addiction", I no longer am watching any drama series, feel much lesser urge to watch movies and play games, no more variety shows on TV for me. That's because I enjoy watching Justine's tennis. It really has become part of my life at one point in time where I would rather watch her tennis than to go out or watching any TV dramas.

I remember the time in 2010 when Justine was playing in Stuttgart (If I didn't remember wrongly, it's scheduled at past midnight for my timezone), I tried to sleep but I would flip here and there in bed, thinking about how's Justine playing in the match. In the end, I would get up, switch on my com and anxiously watching Justine playing her matches. If Justine had lost, I would have of course been feeling very very down with my face as black as charcoal but luckily I've witnessed Justine's victory and happily went to bed but well, I got the adrenalin rush still inside me, so I was unable to sleep too. Ah~ the memories, all coming back to me now...

Ppl may think I'm crazy and stupid, maybe I was, just a little. I know it's not good to get obsessed in someone whom I didn't even know personally and who didn't even know my existence at all too. But it's my first time having a sports idol and it wasn't the same as "idolizing" the stars in entertainment industry. Before Justine, I do have 2 other idols, both in the entertainment industry, so I know how different it feels.

Watching Justine losing a match can make me lose my appetite (alright, I admit, a glutton me will still stomach down some food no matter what)..When Justine retired in 2011, upon learning that news and the touching goodbye message that she wrote to her fans made me cry for days (maybe a little exaggerated but well it's the same to me. Sorry, I'm just an emotional crying baby.)

The reason why I reacted that much was probably because it was too abrupt and hard for me to accept the truth since I've just started liking Justine in 2010 and expected to watch more of her tennis for many years. I've already grown emotionally attached to Justine. I admire her fighting spirit, her talent and even her cool nature on court where she would show no mercy to her opponents. I admire all that and even much more when I learnt some of her life story and knowing how kind hearted she actually is, outside of tennis. .I really wondered how some of her fans can last that long, liking her for years, some since 2003 or much earlier, and continued to support her when she made her comeback in 2010. To think they even had to endure the pain of her retiring twice in 2008 and 2011...I salute them!

I do not know how long I can keep liking Justine, no one will be affected for sure if I no longer liked her, but if that happens,  all I can say is that I've no regrets for the pains and joys, tears and laughter that Justine had brought to me. Justine is the first person to make me see Tennis in a different light, as an interesting sport that can be played very artistically, tactically, and truly appreciate the sport. Thank you Justine!

It's funny somehow, after Justine retired, I felt I was "released" from the stress, the adrenalin and sleepless nights and slowly getting back to my "normal" life, lol! But like I'd said, I will nv regret it, in fact, I treasure those moments.

There's actually many more things I wanna say but I decided to call it a day...(it's past 2am now) oops!
Had no idea why I'm getting so emo tonight and suddenly wanted to talk about this topic..I hope my love for Justine will be forever, she's my inspiration and motivation to work harder and nv gives up without trying!

Good news for me: Watching/re-watching her past matches does rekindle some of the "lost love" if ever, for her, haha! Just simply knowing that she's living good and happy now is enough to make me smile in my sleep, good night world!
~My heart will go on~
