Hi allboutashley,

yo que siento que oldaley, oldalapwace" mean?

It looks to me like you've got some non-standard Spanish in there. I am guessing that "oldaley" and "oldalapwace" (the highlighted portion) are both probably really "órale" which is an interjection that is heavily used in Mexico and in the southern U.S. the "pwace" part I am not sure about but it is probably "orale pues" which is like "alright then" as you might say when you are about to get off of the phone. Have a look at these two entries: [orale pues][1] and orale

You could try doing a google search for "mexicanismos" to try to find out what it might mean in this context. Here are is one that you might try mexicanismos,

The "pwace" could be "pués" used as "órale pués"...

According to the Academia Mexicana:

ora. (De ahora.) adv. Ahora. || ¡órale! (De ahora + -le.) interj. que exhorta al trabajo, a la actividad, a animarse. || ¡órale, pues! 1. interj. que exhorta al trabajo, a la actividad, a animarse. || 2. interj. de protesta. | a l'ora de l'ora. loc. coloq. En esos momentos, en el momento crucial.
