SUMMER... boredom...

People think that when it's the summer, loads of endless fun and surprises are in store every corner. That wouls at least be true if you're loaded up to the brim with cash. Allowing you full privilege to do what you want whatever you want guarded with limitations. This may be my ever first post since the summer to make you guys aware that I'm still alive. Nothing to do that going back to school is a tempting alternative to stop myself from getting fat from eating too much food!

Last week was not that eventful. But you can't deny the fact that it was really fun to be with your family under the scorching heat for a day. I'm not saying that I hate the summer. I'm saying that it would kill me if nothing exciting would happen during the summer! You may think that I'm a sort of negative person, but having a mole on your foot can really kill you!

So far, we went swimming at Duka Bay and went on a road trip. Going to Bukidnon and getting a big juicy hamburger at Cawayanon, forcing my dad to drive us to Palaisdaan for some fishing and returning home with a wailing little brother in the passenger seat. Really interesting wasn't it (at least the burger was good)?

Presently, I've resorted to drawing, writing stories two pages long and reading books found at the very corner of our bookshelf. The book I have read is about a top secret mission that, unless done correctly, would resort to world destruction and war. The operation was called: Operation Snow Wolf. There are two people assigned for this mission: Alex Slanski and Anna Khorev. The mission was headed by a man named Jake Massey. The objective is to assassinate Joseph Stalin. It was to be aborted since the enemy found the file containing Joseph Stalin's background. The discovery arose the Russians suspicion that the Americans are on to something.

William Massey is Jake Massey's only son. Being orphaned at the age of ten, told by a stranger that he's father's dead in the boarding school he's in and unable to grip the fact that he is dead since he hasn't seen the body. William Massey's parents were divorced and it was his father that took care of him (unlike others...). He was desperate to know the truth. And since finding the top secret file hidden behind a couple of loose bricks in their basement's wall, he was able to gain a type of insurance to get some answers.

Anna Khorev is one of those who have survived the mission. There were other people involved but they're not agents. She once had a life of her own with a husband and a daughter. One night the police abducted his husband, saying that he was a traitor. His name was Ivan Khorev. Their daughter's is Sasha Khorev. She was informed that her husband's dead while staying at the Galuga. She too was abducted and was sent to that camp. Being separated with her daughter, she was confused and depressed. she joined the Red Army and was a good soldier. Still, after getting caught yet was able to escape and kill the soldiers who 'molested' (not the word I would have used but at least appropriate) her, she was sent back to the camp and endured so much pain. She was able to escape the camp and was able to start a new life on American soil. What she didn't know was that the Russians were watching her every move and progress.

Jake Massey was to many people, a good man. He helped Anna Khorev start a new life and reluctantly agreed to send her back to Russia for the success of the mission. Unfortunately, before they escaped form the clutches of Moscow, he died. There was shooting, and since they were in a car, he was shot. He was ordered to kill Anna and Alex to prevent a war from happening since the Russians knew about their plans. He wasn't able to do it.

Alex Slanski is an assassin (just like James Bond only that he doesn't go gallivanting with girls on every mission). He's a widow and a loner. No one knows that much about his background especially the CIA, but he's really good at killing the bad guys like a gay Russian senior officer by the name of Krashkin. He's pretty... brutal. Cutting of the testicles of Krashkin and putting it in Krashkin's mouth is really unpleasant to think about. But really, he has a heart. He loves Anna. Too bad they didn't live together, he shot himself after he shot Stalin in the head. He's a friend of Jake Massey. Since Jake Massey was ordered to kill him and Anna, they weren't in pleasant terms anymore.
Before the mission was completed, he was struck by a certain discovery. Yuri Lukin, a KGB officer that has been tailing him and Anna since the time they parachuted, was his long lost brother! Alex's real name is Mischa Stefanovitch. I actually prefer Alex Slanski.

Yuri Lukin is a KGB officer with a pregnant wife named Nadia. I could say that he was no brute compared to the other KGB officers since he didn't torture Anna while interrogating her. Yuri was ordered by Beria to hunt Anna and Alex down before they completed their objective in killing Stalin. If he failed, he was going to face the firing squad at target practice. I'd say he was in a knot of confusion! Alex kidnapped his wife to exchange her for Anna. He knew the consequences if he released Anna without authorized permission, but what if he didn't comply to Slanski's request? He had to do it!
He was actually the second person who found out that he and Alex were brothers. His real name is Petya Stefanovitch.

Pasha is a close acquaintance of Yuri. A Mongolian who is not afraid to speak his mind (really speak his mind). Even though the person he's dealing with is of high rank like Romulka, he's not afraid to raise the middle finger at him. "Bah! Having Genghis Khan as an ancestor, what do you expect?" he died in the hands of Romulka. The guy was tied to a chair! Against a pistol on your temple, you won't stand a chance in a chair!

There were other people responsible for the mission's success, but if I name all of them, there won't be any space left. Wishing you guys a happy summer! Athena, here's a post to keep you reading for three minutes...

I joined the Sports Clinic, but since there's a certain time of the month that every woman must endure for the rest of her life until she reaches fifty, it was a let down. Now, I'm munching on some chocolate coated biscuits with a new hairdo. WHAT CAN PEOPLE DO IN HERE???

Enjoy life everybody as much as I do!!!

Hey, I just read your entry about Snow Wolf. I was just wondering which character did you like the best?

Unknown said...

Hmmmm... that's a tough one...
I think I don't have a favorite in this story... hmmm... well, I think Anna Khorev is cool. She's a very strong character in this book. So I think I would pick her as my favorite.

What's your real name? You just got Slanski from "Alex Slanski" right? ^_^

Thanks for reading by the way!

Unknown said...

Anna Khorev is indeed a pretty strong character, and yes I got my alias from the book. I read this book when it first came out in 1997, and I have been using that alias for about 10 years now. Till this day I think it is one of the best books I have ever read. If you liked this book you might also want to read Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy, another great book, it is longer than Snow Wolf but worth it. As for my real name everyone calls me D or Slan

Really? I accidentally found the book during our summer cleaning. ^_^ Thanks for recommending it! I'll check it out.

Nice to meet you Slan. How did you come across my blog? It's practically extinct as of now.

Anyway, thanks again for finding the time to read my entries. ^_^

Yes really, I found your blog because I did a search on Google keyword "slanski" to see if my website would come up or not, and extended the search to "alex slanski" that one made your blog pop up on the result screen. So I read it, and it was nice to see that someone else also enjoyed the same book that I had read so long ago.
