Weight

It seems like a chick lit story, only not of the conventional kind. The protagonist is, to be frank, overweight. But, at the end of the day (literally), she lets herself go and speeds away with Jayme to Baguio. It deviates from the usual formula of the slim, pretty girl getting the guy. Even if the girl is overweight, or ugly, she can still fall in love and she can still have her happy ending. After all, beauty is only skin deep. I think the way Ami and Jayme zooms away into the night end is symbolic of the way she is letting go of all the things that are holding her down like her job, her weight (since she stops herself from eating too much) and just everything that keeps her from living her life.
