Star Trek is a reimagination of the classic science fiction series. The film explores the histories of iconic characters James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto), from their early lives to their fateful meeting at Starfleet Academy, and eventually on the starship Enterprise.

7 Habits of the Highly Effective MRT Commuters

The MRT (Metro Rail Transit) is one of the Philippines’ most convenient public transport systems.
