am i the only one who’s genuinely fascinated about these kind of things? i just love seeing what type of stuff they had, how they dressed, furniture and all of that stuff! i wonder where they are right now and how they are doing
Easily one of the best channels I have ever came across on youtube. A vlog spanning 4 decades! Incredible! Wow! Gil thank U for inviting us into your life, home, & family. This channel should be a national treasure. I love what you said at 18:31 about the year 2000 and now millions of people are watching you in 2020! The video of her birthday gives me serious nostalgia because it was the year my parents moved from Africa to the US. You were vlogging before youtube was even a thing... Again Thank U for the viewing pleasure Gil
I miss 90's decorating. It's tacky, but in a warm, comforting way. Love the light colors, the bluish carpet on the stairs, etc. Beats the black, white, and grey McMinimalism people love today.
@@Joshadowolf Late 80's to 95 for me personally. Pop culture gradually went down the gutter at about 96 imo, yet 96-2000 was still leagues better than the times we're currently living in. ;)
@@NintenPizzaThat's how it is. 1988 is an intermediate year. 1989-1996 is one era. 1997 is an intermediate year. 1998-2007 is one era. 2008 is an intermediate year. 2009-2015 is one era. 2016 is an intermediate year. 2017-current is one era.
Gilbert Arciniega omg. I need to know what that intro song is from. I’ve heard it so many times before when I was younger but can not for the life of me remember what it is from. Help me remember!!!
This strange feeling of feeling familiar with an unknown family celebratimg Cynthias 14 bday after checking footage from late 80s its exciting and cool. Lol
And regular phones/cd players/radios stuff people were always on people complained about similar things just not the technology now obviously but other than than it wasnt much different😑
Watching this video due to being at home during this Covid-19 pandemic. Everyone looks so full of life. Hope all these people still have all that good energy! Side note: every time I hear Cynthia cough, I hide under my blanket.
So true. I saw a last day of high school 1994 video, and to think those who were graduating in that video, are now 43-44, its amazing. I was 1 at the time ,but just thinking of my self, im even old.
@@fueledbymusic3 Hey Gil! i came up with an idea like video topic for a new video of yours.. Since you did a video based on a request on what year you would prefer from the 80s, and 90s, i think you should do one based on what the late 80s was like compared to the early 90s and the mid, and late 90s compared to the early 2000s because many say the early 2000s was like the late 90s still.
I literally love your videos, gil. It brings me back to my childhood...my mom was just like you..she has about 500 tapes from our life of the 80s 90s 2000s..next time I see her im going to try and upload them...you seem like you have a beautiful family ❤️
Absolutely! It almost puts me in a state of depression when i start thinking about the awesome times i had in the late 80's, and early to mid 90's, knowing there will never be another decade like either, and no time machine to take me back. :P
Man, this reminds me so much of how my family and life was in the mid to late 90s back when we lived in Santa Ana. Time really does change a lot and makes me miss how simple everything was back then. Thanks for this video.
In a few days, Cynthia will be 40. Wow, time flys. I was watching days ago a last day of high school 1994 video, and just thinking how fast time really does go by since those who were graduating were 43-44. I was 1 year, and a few months here, and i feel old just thinking about it now 26 years later lol.
Your family was rich! In 1994 my family just migrated to the states and I remember dreaming to have a life like yours. Now my family and I are living very comfortably.
Tomahok 79 shut the fuck up and stop tryna act smart. The day he posted the comment Cynthia was 39 but now that you can late she’s 40 so don’t be calling people morons if your one too.
I love these videos- it feels so real because you see all these tiny little details like reflections on tables, and out the windows, and mail on the counter and it feels like real moments in time, not just a key curated thing- just the candid feeling of a normal day. Love it!
I have to admit, they lived a pretty nice middle class lifestyle for being Mexican at that time, since the majority of Mexicans in the 90s were working class people. I think Gilbert's family was like the small Minority of Mexicans who lived a middle class lifestyle at the time.
I'm Mexican and I knew a lot of Mexican families that lived like this back in those days. Nowadays, with the housing market it's hard for most ppl across the board to have this kind of lifestyle. My uncle lived like this and he would have the funnest Christmas parties with lots of people at his house; he retired like in 1999 and moved back to Mexico. It was so much easier to work hard, save up, and have a nice life back then.
I'm sure this is why they lost their culture and native language, AND YES NIGGA it is UN common for a real mexican family to be in the suburbs, not like today
Just wanted to let you know how I appreciate your videos... takes me back to those days through your lens... I should done recorded everything back then like u did.... urghh... I miss those days and family members that have moved on...
I really enjoy your video's. They are a moment in time that would be lost forever. Thank you for having the foresight to save them for those who want to relive their past, or just see what life was like before "Social media". Wow! You sister is now 40yr old. Time sure does fly, if we blink we might miss it.
Watching these brings me back thinking what i was doing at the time, playing video games/basketball with friends or just hanging out with my pops 🙏 , in 94 I was just 2 yrs older then Cynthia
This is only the third video I've seen. The first was n64 probably because I watch a lot of gaming videos. I've been pretty down and seeing these simple nice things is really comforting. Thank you and wish you all well. I'll be watching more.
She carefully opened the gift wrap and then folded them neatly! Such discipline! I used to just tear them open even though my mom used to tell me not to. I know what happens to the wrappers doesnt matter much, but it does say a LOT about the person.
I’ve been watching your videos Gilbert... came across this one today. Your sister is approximately 4 months older than me. Happy 40th (belated) birthday Cynthia!
I love older homes and i love those counter tops 😭 man i wish we could go back to this era. I was born in 98 but i do love everything about the 90’s and early 2000’s i miss playing outside and going to grandmas during the summer, i miss playing jacks, and marbles etc i just miss it man. Id do anything to go back

Incredible, my birthday is May 15 too, but that year I turned 6. thanks for sharing your videos. greetings from an Argentina.
Ppl in 1994 never really expected to be in 2020 or even imagine 25 years ahead of time

And will go faster after 30
You have no clue kid-91’ baby
bruh 25 isnt old. come back when your 64 in 2058 and then you'll be old
After Cynthia, your mom is the star of this video. She reminds me of my mom back then.
He definitely has a cool mom, but his family in general is pretty cool. Lucky man.
Reminds me of my mom too

Creepy
Life was so much fun back then 😞
I'd say the same thing I miss the early 2010s

The good old days of sleeping in the living room.
You know it’s the 90’s when people are smoking inside their homes
My mother still does that lol
my pops did that til he died like 8 years ago... glad the smoke is gone.. lol
Yeah, I'll never forget how people could basically smoke everywhere. Restaurants, malls, even some waiting rooms in doctors offices let you smoke lol.
I smoke inside and most people I know do.
Plus, real fire places, better fashion, far greater home interior/decor(So cozy, bright and beautiful) and not a single cell phone in sight. ;)

I agree. Time passes so fast and we tend to be more fond of the past, so it would be nice to have it captured on a video.
she's on the phone as she should be, otherwise she wouldn't be a normal teenager, lol!
