I propose that the text of the left page reads:
The accompanying picture is of a “Joshua” who, previously shown as a bear in the May 1 entry, and having received a “magic kiss” from the May 2 entry, now has magically transformed—with a burst of radiant energy—into human form. This event is reminiscent of the fairy tale in which a prince, who had been cursed into frog-form, has that magical spell broken when he receives a kiss from a princess. I propose that the text of the right page is:
The most uncertain word, in my opinion, is the word “curse“, on the left page, which I came up with mostly from the context of the fairy tale role-play between W and J.
For these pages I propose that the text reads:
The line by J, written on the page dated May 2, “My name is Joshua,” appears to be an answer to the request from W, written on the page dated May 1, “(Do) tell me your name.” There is a drawing of Joshua the bear as part of the May 2 entry, and a drawing of kissing lips (like a lipstick kiss-mark) as part of the May 3 entry.
~ New comment-maker on this site, Pennywise, has provided us, using Codebreaker, with a normally unobtainable shared diary written in by both J and W. Thanks VERY MUCH, Pennywise! During the next few days, I’ll post some pages of the diary and let’s see if we can figure out all of the text. Please help! I’ve adjusted the contrast and such to try to make the text more legible. Pennywise offers the reading:
I think we have a comma between “Hello” and “little“. Perhaps the last line is “Do tell me your name“? What do you think? I am very uncertain about the word after “little“. The best I can suggest at this point is a misspelling of “friend” as “frend“. This makes the “tail” at the end of the word just a curve to the period. I’m far from convinced about this reading, however, and I’d very much like to hear other suggestions.

My Video: The Mystery of Jennifer’s Bunk Bed in Rule of RosePosted by PokerNemesis in MysteriesSomething unusual seems to be going on with Jennifer’s bunk bed in the dormitory of the orphanage. See my YouTube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvzH3q-iVkk The topic of this video has been previously discussed in my blog-posts (and their comment-threads): Well, The Naughties are over. “The Naughties” is my proposed term for the past decade. “Naught” is an alternative word for “zero”. And the past decade was of years such as ‘01, ‘02,…’09. Get it? Plus, in the U.S.A. at least, it seems to me that very many political and corporate entities have been very naughty indeed over the past decade. ~ Happy New Year, everybody! ~

My Video: Transformation of a Women’s Lavatory in Rule of RosePosted by PokerNemesis in Clues, My YouTube Videos, Mysteries, Plot Structure & StorySee the YouTube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmGMKnWUtBo ~ Unlike other transformations of areas of the orphanage into areas of the airship, the women’s lavatory that we see in this video does not become more attractive or more luxurious (with the possible exception of the addition of an extra toilet stall). The lavatory in the airship is every bit as squalid and run-down as the lavatory in the orphanage. The only concession to the airship fantasy seems to be the removal of the window. Thus we see the shared identity of the two lavatories very clearly. In the examples of transformation coming up in future videos, the shared identity will be better disguised.

Scenes from “The Orphanage” in “Coventry Carol” VideoPosted by PokerNemesis in UncategorizedThe Coventry Carol is a darker sort of Christmas Carol, dating from the 16th century, focusing on the Massacre of the Innocents by King Herod. folkstudio2201 had the interesting idea of combining a musical composite of multiple performances of this carol with footage from the film “The Orphanage”, a film which many find to be evocative of Rule of Rose (both sharing, among other things, a massacre of orphanage children in their stories).
