The Fan Who Decks VeeWise’s Halls

For Raymar De Quiros, also known as “Ohmydestiny,” Christmas isn’t just a holiday—it’s a time to spread love and positivity, one decoration at a time. At 39 years old, Raymar balances his day job at a financing company with a side passion that’s brought joy to countless homes since 2011: Christmas decorating. Among his most notable clients are Mobile Legends: Bang Bang icons OhMyV33nus and Wise, collectively known as VeeWise.

From Fan to Decorator

Raymar’s journey to becoming the Christmas decorator for VeeWise began with his admiration for OhMyV33nus, a celebrated esports athlete. “I first got to know OhMyV33nus by watching her streams,” he recalls. “She would notice me whenever I left comments, so I took the chance to ask if she’d be interested in my decorating services.”

A simple query turned into a meaningful connection. OhMyV33nus responded with curiosity: “Legit ba, nagdedecorate ka?” (“Do you really decorate?”). What followed were private messages, meetings, and eventually, a professional and a lasting friendship.

Beyond Christmas decorations, Raymar shares another connection with OhMyV33nus: their love for Mobile Legends. A longtime player since 2017 or 2018, Raymar discovered OhMyV33nus through a friend’s recommendation. “We use the same heroes,” he says. “I’m a utility support player, and I admire how she plays Estes and Floryn.”

Like OhMyV33nus, Raymar experienced prejudice, particularly in gaming spaces. “One time, I was excluded from a ranked game because I was gay,” Raymar recalls. “They said, ‘Wag natin isali ‘yan, bakla ‘yan, mahina ‘yan.’ (“Don’t include him, he’s gay and weak.”)

Despite the hurtful comments, Raymar chooses to rise above the negativity. “We’re living in 2024. We are already accepted by society,” he says. Similarly, OhMyV33nus has spoken about her approach to dealing with bashers, choosing to remain unbothered and focus on spreading love.

Raymar’s first visit to VeeWise’s home was a nerve-wracking yet unforgettable experience. “They were so humble and accommodating,” he shares. “Vee made sure I was comfortable even though I was shy and nervous.”

The bond between Raymar and VeeWise goes beyond decorations. As a member of the LGBT community, Raymar feels a deep sense of connection with them. “I became their fan because we belong to the same community,” he explains. “They are open, understanding, and incredibly kind.”

When it comes to decorating, OhMyV33nus’ preference is clear: minimalist and elegant designs. “She likes simple and small touches,” says Raymar. “She’s very hands-on and decides on the designs. I’m just lucky that she likes my suggestions.”

Their collaboration has blossomed into a genuine friendship. “I’m so lucky to have met them,” he says. “It’s magical to be friends with such humble and nice people.”
